Development[edit]
Maintainer[edit]
Whonix provides a lot Debian packages. (Overview) Usage of these packages is currently untested and unmaintained in any Linux distributions besides Whonix due to limited recourses of the Whonix team.
Would you be interested to maintain one or another package for using them outside of Whonix? Such as in Debian or so? Maintenance means here, keep up with code changes and releases, test if these packages work outside of Whonix, eventually report bugs or add new features, answer support requests by users.
Or would you be even interested to get one or another package into mainstream Linux distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or so?
General[edit]
Any of these would help...
- Have good knowledge of Linux networking and iptables?
- AppArmor: Know how to create AppArmor profiles? Join us testing new AppArmor profiles for improved security!
- #!/bin/bash
- python
- ruby
- C
- etc.
- Login on github, go to https://github.com/Whonix/Whonix/issues and press "watch" to get notified about discussions on Whonix github issues.
- development forum

Audit Documentation Changes[edit]
Keep up to date on our wiki changes. (rss

Audit Whonix[edit]
Audit Whonix's security.
A good place is starting with the source code and running
grep -r "REVIEW" *
for places where we could need more input. Also reviewing the whole source code or just the major configuration files would be fine. Or review the Design.
Backup Whonix[edit]
Run WhonixBackupScript.
