Unhash 7 [hide][hide]=== 9. Installing a Firewall === 1. First, go to the following URL: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org (three l’s) 2. Scroll down until you see a link that says “Download” 3. Under “Current Full Mirror List”, click any that work. Some may not work at any given time. If one doesn’t work, simply hit back on your browser and try another one. 4. At the time of this guide, the following url worked:ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/ 5. Go to the “current” directory if not already in it. 6. Click on the file called: dsl-4.4.10.iso — If you cannot find this file, choose the file closet to it. A higher version number is fine. The file will probably be about 50 MB 7. The file should take about 5-10 minutes to download based on your connection. (IF THE ABOVE STEPS WORKED FOR YOU, SKIP THIS MINI-SECTION) (With mirrors, it is often the case that a particular mirror site doesn’t work. At the time of this writing, several mirrors worked. I am providing detailed instructions for each mirror.) (Above I have already provided instructions for the mirror) ftp://ftp.is.co.za MIRROR: http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/damnsmall (Go to this URL, and under “Subdirectories” click on “current”) if available, select the file called “current.iso” (provided the file is at least 49 MB in size) If not, then choose the closest file to dsl-4.4.10.iso, a higher version # is fine. MIRROR: http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/damnsmalllinux/ (go to “current” directory, obtain either “current.iso” (if 49 MB or higher) or find file closest to “dsl-4.4.10.iso”) MIRROR: http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/damnsmalllinux.org/ (go to “current” directory, obtain either “current.iso” (if 49 MB or higher) or find file closest to “dsl-4.4.10.iso”) At this point, you should have the file either “current.iso” or “dsl-4.4.10.iso” (or something similar) fully downloaded and saved into your Downloads directory. Now, go ahead and open up VirtualBox again, most likely by clicking it on the task bar. 8. Click “New” at the top left, an icon that resembles a many-pointed round star. 9. “Welcome to the New Virtual Machine Wizard”, click “Next” 10. “VM Name and OS Type”: Under “Name” type in: Firewall 11. For Operating System, choose “Linux” 12. For “Version”, choose: “Other Linux” 13. Click “Next” 14. “Memory”, select “32 MB” and click Next 15. “Virtual Hard Disk”, Uncheck “Boot Hard Disk” and click “Next” 16. If a Warning dialog appears, click “Continue” 17. Click “Finish” 18. Now you will notice “Firewall, Powered Off” visible in your VirtualBox control panel. Make sure it is highlighted (it should be) and then right click it, and select “Settings”. 19. Select “Network” in the menu to the left. 20. Click on the “Adapter 2” tab. 21. Check “Enable Network Adapter” and next to where it says “Attached to”, select “Internal Network” from the pulldown menu. 22. Click “Ok” at the bottom. 23. Once again, right click “Firewall, Powered Off” and select “Start” 24. Check “Do not show this message again” and click “Ok”. This is just letting you know that the “RIGHT CTRL KEY” on your keyboard is the “control” key for this virtual machine. 25. “Welcome to the First Run Wizard”, click “Next” 26. “Select Installation Media”, under “Media Source” is a pull down menu. To the immediate right of that pull down menu is an icon with a folder. Click that folder icon. 27. Locate “current.iso” or “dsl-4.4.10.iso” (or the similar file name) that you downloaded. When located, click “Open”. It is likely in the “Downloads” directory of your home folder. 28. Click “Next” 29. Click “Finish” Now the virtual machine will start to boot up. Simply wait… (This may take up to 5 minutes.) 30. One or more new dialogs may come up saying “VirtualBox Information”, just click “Do not show this message again” and click “Ok” After a few minutes, the booting will finish and you will be looking at the desktop for your firewall virtual machine. To the right of the window you will see some stats that look something like this: Up: 0 k/s - Down: 0 k/s Processes: 19 CPU Usage: 10% RAM Usage: 16.2MB/28.8MB etc. Congratulations! You now have a firewall running. Now we will set up this firewall to protect you so that you can safely use TOR from your main virtual machine. === 10. Firewall Configuration === At this stage you should be looking at the desktop for “DSL” (Damn Small Linux). I need to talk about the mouse first. This particular virtual machine as well as your main operating system (windows) both want control of your mouse. Both cannot have control of your mouse at the same time however. Therefore, you have to choose whether the mouse will be used by your virtual machine, or by Windows. When you click into your virtual machine, it has the effect of passing control of the mouse to the virtual machine. That means you cannot move your mouse cursor past the boundaries of that virtual machine. In order to give mouse control back to windows, enabling you to move your mouse cursor anywhere, simply press the right ctrl key on your keyboard. That is to say, you have two ctrl keys. One on the left of your keyboard, and one on the right. Press the ctrl key that is on the right of your keyboard. This will give mouse control back to windows. Practice this a bit. Practice clicking into the window, moving the mouse cursor around, pressing right ctrl, and moving the windows mouse cursor around. Get the feel of it. You should see a window that looks something like a web browser, with some text in it including words such as “Getting Started with DSL”. First, close that window. (If your mouse is not working, read this mini-section.) (First, click inside the window that your virtual machine is running in). Now try moving your mouse cursor. If you do not see the mouse cursor moving around, then press (RIGHT CTRL + I). Now move your mouse cursor again. If you notice that you are moving your “main” mouse cursor over the window, but you do not see the “DSL” black mouse cursor moving, then click again into that window. If you do this a few times, you should notice that the mouse begins to work. You may have to press RIGHT CTRL+I a couple of times to get the mouse to work. 1. Once the mouse is working inside of your virtual machine, go ahead and close the window entitled “Getting Started with DSL” (If you cannot see the full virtual machine window, for example because your screen resolution is set so that some of the window goes too low, read this mini-section). (First, press RIGHT CTRL+I until you have your main windows white mouse cursor back). Now, click on “Machine” in the menu at the top of the window. (Select “Switch to Scale Mode”) ( Click “Switch”) (Now you will have converted your firewall window to a smaller size, and you will be able to resize it. You may need to press “right ctrl” to get a windows mouse cursor (which you will need in order to resize this window). Now simply resize it to the size that works for you, and then click into the window to be able to use the black mouse cursor inside the virtual machine. I recommend you maximize this window to make sure you can read everything clearly. 2. Right click anywhere on the desktop, go to System (a red folder), go to Daemons, ssh, and start. 3. Right click again anywhere on the desktop, go to XShells -> Root Access -> Transparent 4. Now you have a window that you can type in. Type exactly as shown below into this window, and hit enter: passwd Once you type this and hit enter, it will ask you for a password. This is a password for full access to the firewall. Make it at least 8 characters in size. *** IMPORTANT: Do not forget your firewall password. You will need it later in the guide. *** When you have successfully changed your password, it will say “Password changed.” 5. Now type exactly as shown below, into the same window: ifconfig eth1 10.0.3.1 6. It will not say anything after you hit enter, it will just return you back to the prompt. Now our firewall server is ready. We want to save this state so that we can get back to it easy in the future. Press RIGHT CTRL+S 7. Now you will be looking at a window that says “Take Snapshot of Virtual Machine”. Just click “Ok” 8. Now, let’s test this out to confirm it works as we expect. Go ahead and close the virtual machine by clicking the “X” in the top right corner. A menu will come up. Select ”Power off the machine” and click ok. Do NOT check the box called “Restore current snapshot”. And now you should be once again at the VirtualBox manager. You will see “Firewall (Shapshot 1), Powered Off” 9. Make sure that “Firewall (Snapshot 1), Powered Off” is selected. At the top right of your VirtualBox Manager is a button that says: “Snapshots (1)”. Click it. 10. Click on “Snapshot 1″, the top-most selection. This will highlight it. 11. Now right click it, and click on “Restore Snapshot” 12. A dialog box will come up asking if you are sure, click “Restore” 13. Now click the “Start” button at the top with the large green arrow. 14. Any dialog boxes that come up with a check box saying “Do not show this information again”, simply check the check-box, and click ok. Do not worry about any of those. Remember, if you do not have immediate control of the mouse inside the virtual machine, simply press RCTRL+I (press right ctrl and “I” at the same time) and click into it until you have mouse control. Now your firewall is good to go. Any time you need it, just go to the VirtualBox Manager and follow steps 9 through 14 above. You do not have to go through the whole setup process again at any time in the future. Your firewall is ready. === 11. Installing Ubuntu === Now we are going to set up the main machine that you will be using TOR with. 1. First, go to this URL: http://www.ubuntu.com 2. Click on the link “Download Ubuntu” 3. Click “Start Download” (This download should take 10-15 minutes) 4. The filename is going to be similar to: ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso Now we wait… While you are waiting for the file to download, go ahead and make sure that your “hidden volume” is mounted in TrueCrypt to a particular drive letter. For example, O: You will need that for the next step. 5. Return to your “VirtualBox Manager”. It doesn’t matter if the firewall is running or not. 6. Click “New” (the blue round star-icon in the top left) again. 7. “Welcome to the New VirtualMachine Wizard”, click “Next” 8. “VM Name and OS Type”, under “Name”, type “Primary” 9. Next to “Operating System”, select “Linux” 10. Next to “Version”, select “Ubuntu” and Click “Next” 11. “Memory”, by default it selects 512 MB. This is fine. 256 MB is the MINIMUM. The more memory you allocate, the better the virtual machine will function. Click “Next” 12. “Virtual Hard Disk”, Make sure “Boot Hard Disk” is checked. Make sure “Create new hard disk” is selected. Click “Next” 13. “Welcome to the Create New Virtual Disk Wizard”, click “Next” 14. “Hard Disk Storage Type”, select “Fixed-size storage” and click “Next” 15. “Virtual Disk Location and Size”, to the right of the text box containing “Primary” is a folder icon. Click the folder icon. 16. Now we have to select a file for the new hard disk image file. On the bottom of this dialog it says “Browse Folders”, click on that. 17. Now click on “Computer” in the menu to the left. 18. Scroll to where you see the drive letter you mounted, and double click on it. Ex: Local Disk (Ohttps://cracking.org/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png[/img] 19. Now click “Save” 20. By default 8.00 GB are selected. That is fine. If you have enough space on your hidden volume, increase this to 10 GB. Otherwise, 8 is fine. 21. Under “Location”, it should say O:Primary.vdi where O: is replaced by whatever drive letter you mounted your TrueCrypt hidden volume to. 22. Click “Next”, then click “Finish” Now we wait for VirtualBox to create the hard drive we asked for. This may take a few minutes. Keep in mind this entire virtual machine as well as any of its contents are going to reside within the hidden truecrypt container. This ensures extra security. 23. When this is done, you will see a “Summary” window. Click “Finish”. 24. Now, right click on “Primary, Powered Off” in your “VirtualBox Manager”, and click “Start” 25. Again we are at the “First Run Wizard”, click “Next” 26. “Select Installation Media”, under “Media Source” is a pull down menu. Click the “folder icon” to the immediate right of that pulldown menu. 27. Locate “ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386″ (or the similarly named file) from your Downloads directory, or wherever you saved it. Click on it, and click “Open” 28. Click “Next” 29. Click “Finish” Now simply wait. Your Ubuntu virtual machine will be loading up. This may take a few minutes. Don’t worry if you see all kinds of strange messages/text. It is normal. After a few minutes, you should start to see the Ubuntu desktop load. Unlike your firewall, you will notice that you do not have to click the mouse inside the window. It automatically happens. This is going to be much easier than the “Firewall” step. Once everything has loaded, you will be looking at a window that says “Install” with a button that says “Install Ubuntu”. If you cannot see everything, press RCTRL+F (to go full screen). You can return to windowed mode by RCTRL+F again. Any dialogs can be closed, and you can check the box that says “Do not show me this again.” 30. Click “Install Ubuntu” 31. Check “Download updates while installing” 32. Check “Install this third-party software”. Click “Forward” 33. Ensure “Erase and use entire disk” is selected, and click “Forward”. Remember, this is NOT talking about your hard disk. It is talking about the 8-10 gigabyte virtual disk. 34. Click “Install Now” 35. Now you will be guided through a series of installation related screens. The first screen asks you to select your timezone/time. Select your choice and click “Forward” 36. Now keyboard layout, again select your choice and click Forward. If you are unsure, leave it as is or click “Figure out keyboard layout” 37. “Who are you?” For “Your name” type in: mainuser 38. When you type in “mainuser” the other boxes will fill in automatically. Now click in the text box next to “Choose a password”. 39. Do NOT use the same password as the firewall. Come up with a different password. 40. Ensure that “Require my password to log in” as well as “Encrypt my home folder” are selected and checked and proceed. Now simply wait until the installation is finished. The installation may take a while, and it may appear to stall at some points. As long as the ubuntu mouse cursor shows an animation that is turning around in circles, the installation *is* working. Simply wait until it is done. If after an hour or two the progress bar hasn’t moved at all, then go ahead and re-start the installation starting from step 24 (after closing the window and powering down the virtual machine). Depending on your computer, it could take 2-4 hours. Most likely, it will take about an hour. Once finished, you will see a dialog that says “Installation Complete” with a button that says “Reboot Now”. Do NOT press the “Reboot Now” button. Close the ‘X’ on this window, and Power Down. 41. Now, right click “Primary” and go to “Settings”. 42. Click on “Storage” in the left menu. Then click on the “ubuntu-10.10… .iso” under where it says “IDE Controller” 43. To the right it says “Attributes” under that it says “CD/DVD Drive : …” to the immediate right of that is a cd icon. Click it. 44. Select “Remove disk from virtual drive.” 45. Click “Ok” 46. Now, making sure that “Primary” is highlighted, click the “Start” button at the top with the large green arrow. Now we wait for your newly installed Ubuntu machine to boot up. 47. After a few minutes, you will see a dialog appear that says “mainuser-VirtualBox”. Go ahead and click on “mainuser” which has the “person icon” to the left of it. 48. Now it will prompt you for your password. Enter the password you used in the installation process. 49. After a minute or so, you should hear a nice login sound, and you should be fully logged into your virtualmachine. 50. Keep waiting, and a dialog will appear that says “Information avialable” and “Record your encryption passphrase” Click on: “Run this action now” 51. Type in the same password you used to log in. After that window closes, click “Close” in the dialog box. Congratulations! You have now set up a virtual machine as well as a firewall to protect it. Now we need to finish configuring the primary virtual machine. === 12. Ubuntu Initial Setup === Ok, now that we have installed Ubuntu, we need to set it up so that we can use it fully. This also means making sure we can see flash on websites such as youtube. 1. First, we have to install any updates that are pending. At the bottom of your screen, you should notice where it says “Update Manager”. Click on that. 2. Now, click on “Install Updates”. If you did not see “Update Manager”, then skip these two steps. 3. Any time an administrative task is required, you will need to type in your password. This is the same password you used to log in. Now we wait, this is going to download any necessary security updates to make certain we are using the most current/secure setup possible. This may require downloading hundreds of megabytes. Just go ahead and let it do that, and when everything is downloaded and updated, proceed to the next step. While you wait, Ubuntu may go into screensaver mode. If so, just move the mouse and it will ask you for your password. That will leave screensaver mode. If the updates are more than a hundred megabytes, it will take quite a while. It may take up to 2-3 hours depending on your computer and internet connection. Nonetheless, this step is critical. Do not skip the updates. Besides ensuring that your setup will be secure, the updates also ensure that all of the applications are up to date and thus most likely to function correctly. Just go ahead and watch a movie for a couple hours, and then return and check on it. After all of the updates have been downloaded and installed, the “Update Manager” window will now say “Your system is up-to-date” at the top. Further, it will say: “The computer needs to restart to finish installing updates.”. Go ahead and press the ‘X’ in the top right corner of the window, and choose ‘Send the shutdown signal”. If prompted, click “Shut Down”. Once it has fully shut down, the window will disappear and you will be back at the VirtualBox manager. Go ahead and right click on “Primary” and click “Start”. This will restart the virtual machine. If a virtual machine fails to shutdown after 10 minutes or so, then go ahead and close the window again by pressing the ‘X’ but this time choose “Power down”. If it still will not shut down, then VirtualBox may have crashed. If so, just follow these instructions: ( Follow the steps in this mini-section if a virtual machine fails to shutdown, or you need to completely close/restart VirtualBox). ( First, press “Ctrl+Alt+Delete”, and then click “Task Manager”). Next, locate the process that is running that starts with “VirtualBox”. Right click that process, and click “End Process Tree” (This should force the window to close). (Now, restart VirtualBox by going to your start menu, All Programs, Oracle VM VirtualBox VirtualBOx). Now you will have the VirtualBox manager up again. To restart the Ubuntu machine, simply right click on “Primary” and click “Start”. Once your Primary vm has rebooted, you will be again at the login screen. Here as before, click on “mainuser” and then enter in your password. Now your primary machine is fully up to date. Remember, be patient. It may take a few minutes before your virtual machine has fully booted. First you will see the background image and a mouse cursor that can move around, next you should hear the login sound play, and finally you will see the menu at the top and bottom of your virtual machine window. Depending on the speed of your computer, this may take 10 minutes or more. Just be patient. Don’t worry if your virtual machine appears to be running too slow, we will speed it up. Now your Virtual Machine is set up and ready for use. === 13. Installing Guest Additions === In order to ensure that the Virtual Machine runs smoothly as possible, we are going to install some additional software to the virtual machine. 1. Go to the “Devices” menu at the top of your virtual machine main window (Machine, Devices, Help), and go to “Install Guest Additions” 2. Go to the “Places” menu at the top of your virtual machine (Applications, Places, System), and click on “VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.4_70112″ (the number may be different). 3. At the top this new window will be the text “The media has been determined as “UNIX software”. Click on “Open Autorun Prompt” 4. A new dialog may appear saying “This medium contains software intended to be automatically started. Would you like to run it?” Click “Run” 5. Enter your administrative password (the one you use to log into Ubuntu) and click “Ok” 6. Now the VirtualBox Guest Additions installer will begin. This may take some time, so just relax and wait. Depending on your computer, this may take 30 minutes or more. 7. When this is finished, you will see the text “Press Return to close this window.” Go ahead and do so. 8. Once that window has closed, go ahead and press the ‘X’ to close the entire virtual machine window. Select “Send the shutdown signal” and click “Ok”. 9. A dialog box will appear. Click on “Shut Down”, the top most option. At this stage it is a good idea to further optimise our virtual machine. When you initially installed it, you most likely selected either 256 MB or 512 MB of RAM. If you have enough RAM to spare, then I highly recommend you increase that to at least 1 GB. Here is how to do so: 1. First, right click on “Primary, Powered off” and go to Settings. 2. Select “System” from the menu on the left. 3. Increase the “Base Memory” to either 1024 MB (1 GB), or some higher value you are comfortable with. It is also a good idea to increase the video memory available to the virtual machine. 4. Select “Display” from the menu on the left, still inside of “Settings” 5. Increase the “Video Memory” slider to the right as far as you are comfortable with. For example, 128 MB. 6. Check the box “Enable 3D Acceleration”. 7. Now click “Ok” at the bottom. Go ahead and start up Ubuntu again by right clicking “Primary, Powered off” and clicking “Start” When Ubuntu loads up, go ahead and log in as before using your password. Now wait until Ubuntu is fully booted and the “Applications Places System” menu is visible. You will probably notice that your virtual machine loads up and runs faster than before. How well your virtual machine runs depends on how good your computer is. Primarily, RAM and processor speed are the most significant factors. If your computer is modern enough, you should be able to use websites with flash and even watch videos, such as on YouTube, with no problem. If your computer is not as modern, you will still be able to browse websites but may not be able to watch videos. You should still be able to use most flash based websites however. *** IMPORTANT: Do NOT browse sensitive content YET. At this stage, your virtual machine is not yet configured to use TOR. *** === 14. Installing IRC (Optional) === *** This section is entirely optional. If you are not interested in installing IRC, skip this section. *** To install IRC on your new virtual machine, follow these steps: 1. Go to the “Applications” menu, and go to “Ubuntu Software Center” 2. Type “kvirc” in the search box field in the top right. 3. When the results return, select the one called: “KDE-based next generation IRC client” or “KV Irc”. 4. Click “Install” 5. Enter your password when prompted. 6. While it installs, you will notice a progress bar. This may take a few minutes depending on the speed of your internet connection. 7. Once it is finished installing, the progress bar will go away. Go ahead and close the “Ubuntu Software Center”. You are probably used to the close/ min/ max buttons being on the top right, as is the case in Windows. You will find them in the top left instead. If you don’t like this, don’t worry. You can change it later. Now, let’s go ahead and set up KVIrc. Remember, you are NOT truly anonymous yet. 8. Click on “Applications” in the top menu. 9. Go to “Internet” 10. Click on “KVIrc” 11. “KVIrc Setup” will appear. Go ahead and click “Next” to begin. 12. “Store Configuration in Folder”, click “Next” 13. “Please choose a Nickname”. You can leave this exactly as is, or you can choose a Nick name then click “Next”. *** IMPORTANT READ THIS *** Do NOT pick a nick name you have ever used before, or a nick name that can help someone determine who you are. Also, do NOT fill in any other details such as location, age, real name, etc. Leave everything else as is. You are NOT Anonymous yet. 14. Now you are asked to pick a theme, select “No theme” then click “Next” 15. Now click “Finish” to leave the KVIrc Setup 16. A new window will appear having a list of servers, click “Close” Now let’s connect to the “Freenode” IRC network. By now, you may have many questions about how to use Ubuntu. The#Ubuntu chatroom on Freenode is a great place to start, and where you can ask questions related to how to use Ubuntu and VirtualBox. Please remember, you are NOT anonymous yet and anything you say can be matched to your IP address. Keep the conversation related to technical help, or just learning Ubuntu. Do NOT discuss TOR. Do NOT discuss ANY sensitive material. Remember, this chatroom consists mostly of people who have set up Ubuntu for other reasons. Therefore, they will be able to help you configure it, and answer many questions about how Ubuntu works. 17. At the bottom right of KVIrc is a long text input box. Click inside that box. 18. Type, exactly as shown below, including the “/” character: /server irc.freenode.net 6667 19. This will connect you to the Freenode IRC network. After a few minutes, you will be connected and a dialog box will appear. 20. Uncheck the box that says “Show this window after connecting”, and then click “Close” 21. Now, in the same text box as you typed the /server command, type the following exactly as shown below, including the “/” and “#” characters: /join #Ubuntu 22. Now you are in the #Ubuntu chatroom. Feel free to discuss the Ubuntu operating system and ask questions related to how to use Ubuntu. Remember: *** Do NOT discuss TOR or sensitive material. You are NOT anonymous. *** This is a good opportunity for you to learn how to set up Ubuntu to be the way you want as far as colors, layout, theme and so forth. When you have finished, simply close the “KVIrc” window. === 15. Installing Torchat (optional) === *** This section is entirely optional. If you are not interested in installing Torchat, skip this section. *** Torchat is a program you can use to communicate securely and anonymously with other Torchat users. It is only useful if you already know someone who is using it. If you do not know someone using Torchat, then it is best to skip this section and come back to it in the future when you want to install Torchat. These instructions work for Ubuntu 10.10. First, installing Torchat is a bit tricky because Ubuntu does not include Tor by default in its repositories. Tor is a requirement for torchat, and therefore we have to first install Tor on Ubuntu. Doing so is not too difficult. 1. First, go to “Applications” -> “Accessories” -> “Terminal”. You will see a new window appear with a prompt that looks like this: mainuser@mainuser-VirtualBox:~$ 2. Now, type exactly as shown below, and hit enter: sudo bash 3. After entering your password, you will be at a new prompt which looks like this: root@mainuser-VirtualBox:~# 4. Now, either type or copy-paste the below text into this window and then hit enter: echo “deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org experimental-lucid main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list Code: sudo apt-key adv –-keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com -–recv-keys 886DDD89 5. After you do this, you should see the following at the bottom of your window: gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1) 6. Now, we should be able to install tor. In this same window, type the following commands, one at a time: apt-get update apt-get install vidalia privoxy tor 7. (press Y and enter when prompted) Now we need to obtain the Torchat installation file, follow these steps: 8. In firefox on Ubuntu, go to the following URL: http://code.google.com/p/torchat 9. On the left under where it says “Downloads” 10. One of the files listed will end in .deb, for example torchat-0.9.9.deb. Click on that file name. 11. On the next page, again click on the file name. This should begin the file download. 12. By default, Ubuntu wants to open this file using the “Ubuntu Software Center”. This is correct. Now wait until the file finishes downloading, and then the “Ubuntu Software Center” will appear. Follow these steps: 1. Press “Install” 2. Type in your password when prompted. After a short wait, Torchat will be installed. To start Torchat, go to “Applications” -> “Internet” -> “Torchat Instant Messenger” === 16. Creating TOR-Only Internet Environment === Up until now, we have been using our Virtual Machine to access the internet directly. This was necessary so that we could install updates, software, andget a feel for how to use Ubuntu. Now it is time to force Ubuntu to connect to the internet using TOR Only. At the end of this phase, your Ubuntu virtual machine will be usable as a secure and anonymous TOR based browsing environment. It will be *impossible* for you to access the internet except through TOR, and therefore you can rest assured that anything at all you do online through the Ubuntu virtual machine will be through TOR. First, we need to shut down any running virtual machines. If “Primary” is running, click the ‘X’ in the top right to close it. Select “Send shutdown signal” and then select “Shut Down” when prompted. If “Firewall” is running, go ahead and close it in the same way, but choose “Power off”. After a minute or so, you should be back to your VirtualBox Manager, with neither virtual machine running. 1. Right click on “Primary, Powered Off” and go to “Settings” 2. Select “Network” from the menu on the left. 3. Next to “Attached to” is a pull down menu. Right now it is set to “NAT”. Choose “Internal Network” and click “Ok” 4. Click “Firewall” to highlight it, and then click on “Snapshots (1)” in the top right. 5. Right click on “Snapshot 1″ and then select “Restore Snapshot”. Select “Restore” if prompted. 6. Right click “Firewall” and click “Start” Now your Firewall will be resumed exactly where it had been previously set up. The last command entered should still be visible Before you proceed, make sure that TOR is running on your main Windows computer. If it is, you will see an “Onion” icon visible in your task bar.
