SECURE PRIVACY SOLUTION
A privacy-focused Linux distribution that prioritizes security and network protection. All your system traffic is routed through Tor for enhanced anonymity. It provides comprehensive protection through its advanced security tools. Browse safely without leaving traces and maintain your digital privacy.
Cyrethium is a Debian-based Linux distribution focused on privacy and security. It forces all incoming and outgoing internet traffic through the Tor network, aiming to protect users’ online activities. Tor bridges can be used to bypass censorship. Additionally, the distribution comes with the peer-to-peer hidden network I2P, which is pre-configured and ready to use.
It also provides DNS‑Crypt Proxy to encrypt DNS queries. The distribution includes a tool called Chaosec, which manipulates network traffic to mix real traffic with fake traffic, making it resilient against traffic analysis, MITM, and correlation attacks.
Cyrethium features two specially designed browsers: Hardened Firefox and Amnesic Firefox. These browsers come with various security settings and extensions to protect against browser-based attacks. Hardened Firefox provides a secure experience for everyday use, while Amnesic Firefox focuses on strict privacy and clears all usage traces upon closing.
The system is hardened across multiple layers, from the kernel to user space, making exploitation significantly more difficult. Additionally, Cyrethium includes dedicated tools for detecting network and system-level cyber attacks.
Cyrethium contains numerous custom-designed privacy, security, cryptography, attack detection, and encryption tools. With around 30 integrated tools, the distribution offers a comprehensive privacy ecosystem. It is designed with every usage scenario and threat profile in mind.
