opsec — Privacy Hardening Toolkit
A comprehensive OPSEC hardening suite for Linux systems. Designed for anyone who needs strong privacy defaults without constant manual configuration.
Features
- Kill Switch: iptables rules that block all non-Tor/VPN traffic when enabled
- MAC Randomization: Automatic MAC address spoofing on boot
- Hostname Randomization: Random hostname generation to prevent tracking
- DNS Leak Prevention: Locks DNS to privacy resolvers with immutable resolv.conf
- Tor Integration: Configurable Tor routing with circuit management, exit node filtering, and bridge support
- Traffic Blending: Decoy browsing traffic to mask real activity patterns
- Desktop Widget: Conky-based status HUD with theme support (7 themes included)
- Deployment Levels: Preset configurations from standard privacy to full paranoid mode
- Profile System: Save, load, and switch between configuration profiles
- SSH Honeypot Detection: Check SSH servers against known honeypot signatures
- WiFi Security Auditing: Check wireless configuration for common leaks
Installation
sudo ./install.sh
This copies scripts to /usr/local/bin/, configs to /etc/opsec/, and sets up systemd services.
Usage
# Interactive configuration
sudo opsec-config.sh
# Toggle ghost mode (advanced privacy)
sudo opsec-mode.sh on
sudo opsec-mode.sh off
# Check OPSEC status
opsec-check.sh
# Pre-flight readiness check
opsec-preflight.sh
# Kill switch control
sudo opsec-killswitch.sh on|off|status
# Apply a deployment level
sudo opsec-config.sh --level apply bare-metal-standard
Deployment Levels
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
bare-metal-standard |
Physical machine, ghost mode toggle available |
bare-metal-paranoid |
Physical machine, ghost mode always on |
cloud-normal |
Cloud VPS, standard privacy (no MAC/hostname) |
cloud-paranoid |
Cloud VPS, maximum security always on |
Configuration
All settings live in /etc/opsec/opsec.conf. Edit via opsec-config.sh (interactive TUI) or manually.
Key settings:
TOR_BLACKLIST— Comma-separated country codes to exclude from Tor exit nodesDNS_MODE— DNS resolution mode:tor,quad9,cloudflare,doh,dot,customHOSTNAME_PATTERN— Hostname strategy:desktop,random,customLEVEL_TYPE—standard(toggle) orparanoid(always on)
Widget Themes
Seven color themes for the desktop status widget:
default aurora ember slate cyberpunk frost terminal
sudo opsec-config.sh --theme apply cyberpunk
Important: Review Your Configuration
This toolkit ships with intentionally generic defaults. After installing, you must run sudo opsec-config.sh and review every setting.
Key items that require your input:
TOR_BLACKLISTis empty by default. You need to set exit node exclusions based on your threat model.HOSTNAME_PATTERNdefaults todesktopwith no prefix. Set torandomif you want randomization.- Kill switch and traffic blending are off by default. Enable them if your threat model requires it.
- Deployment level should be selected to match your environment (bare metal vs cloud, standard vs paranoid).
The generic defaults are safe but minimal. They prevent accidental misconfiguration but do not represent a hardened posture. Customize for your needs.
Responsible Use
This toolkit is designed for legitimate privacy protection. Secure deletion features are irreversible. Network anonymization tools have limitations and are not a guarantee of anonymity. Comply with applicable laws in your jurisdiction. This software is provided as-is.
