Basics[edit]
Before reading or applying instructions in the Advanced Security Guide, users should first review information found in the Computer Security Education and Basic Security Guide sections.
Important References[edit]

- Anonymizing MAC Addresses: Readers interested in this topic can also read the development discussion and draw their own conclusions.
- Connections between Whonix-Gateway and Whonix-Workstation.
- Entropy.
- Restrict TransPort: Explained under Whonix-Workstation is firewalled.
- Stream Isolation.
- Time Attacks.
- Whonix Design: Technically-minded users can review the recommendations on how less-than-ideal specifications could be improved.
