Replacement of the PrivacyGuides macOS hardening guide due to bad and dangerous information for a much better guide recently published which goes more in depth and gives much better and accurate information. At the moment at least. Here is the URL: <https://www.bejarano.io/hardening-macos/>
I tried to contribute and here are 2 examples of their responses:
Here are 2 issues I posted to fix wrong information:
1) https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/issues/1493
2) https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/issues/1491
I was immediately rejected despite providing academic references and links to official documentation for their issues ....
- Various spelling and grammar fixes
- Fixed several numbering errors in references
- Updated and fixed many broken URLs and saved them in the Wayback Machine
- Noted that https://mastodon.social/@anonypla is gone? added strike-through
- Adapted Qubes OS hardware requirements that were too low for a decent experience (RAM) according to their recommendation
- Put more incentive to use Tor Browser Safest mode as long as it doesn't break anything and switch to Safer if necessary and with precautions linked in an appendix
- Precision that Anti-Evil Maid on Qubes OS is only available on Intel CPUs
- Removed dead link of Centry Fork project
- Added Window 11 support to the guide
- Partial additions of partial Qubes 4.1.X support but needs completion and testing (coming soon)
- Added link to official guide to upgrade from Qubes 4.0.X to 4.1.X (fresh or in-place)
- Fixed issue in Qubes OS Tor over VPN and VPN over Tor Networking cases that were just plain wrong
- Added guidance to run Windows 11 within Virtualbox + link to official guide from Oracle
- Added recommendation to install/use the excellent and free Safing PortMaster and added a link for some compatibility issues between portmaster and some VPNs
- Removed Windows AME completely from the guide completely. It's a dangerous project that should not be in the guide.
