# ATI-OS
Minimalistic and secure operating system
**Licensing**: See the [LICENSE file](LICENSE.md)
# Features:
## I. Preparation scripts (**Linux only**)
- Small size
- Automation of the most processess related with getting, preparing, compiling and configuration
## II. Final product (Linux disribution):
1. Minimal core - The system base (core) itself contain only files required to start-up and run the system
2. Enchanced security - The system will be defaultly hardened and isolated to provide maximal possible protection. The hardenings include among others:
- kernel hardening
- minimal permissons for the core components of the system
- total isolation from "outside world" (all connections will be done thru secure tunnels)
- installed and configured security software
- multiple security layers
3. Small footprint - In oposite to other Linux distributions, except the security software, there won't be neither a GUI, nor other software preinstalled
4. Full customization - The administrators may freely customize the system (by installing the GUI and software at choice) according to the needs
# Requirments:
## Scripts:
I. 64-bit Debian based Linux distribution
II. All required packages needed to get, compile and prepare the Linux image file. Bellow, are few of them:
a) Build environment containing among others:
- build-essentials (install's allmost all software required for the compilation process)
- bison++
- CMake
- gcc
- c++
- libtool
- python3
- sqyashfs
- libssl-dev
- autotools (autoconf, automake)
- m4
b) Dependencies required by the third-patry software required to compile the sources
## Final product - portable (live) system
# IMPORTANT
1. The USB stick **need to meet** following criteria:
- must be cleaned using the `wipe` command to prevent any potential leftovers from previous data and potential malware
- must have a GPT partition table
- the partition `need` to be set bootable
2. The BIOS/UEFI `need` either to be set to run from USB before the hard drive or be run from a boot menu
3. You have propper tools to "burn" the Linux image to the USB stick
# Distribution preparation using included scripts
1. Get the content of the repository (one of):
a) using git clone (remember to use the `--recrusive` and `--recrusive-modules` options)
b) Download the archive from the repository and then extract it on your drive
From now, the folder to with the repository got clobed/extracted will be refered as the "*project dir*"
2. In the `project dir` enter the `code` sub-folder
3. ensure that the scripts are executable (command: `chmod -v +x *.sh`)
4. run the `prepare.sh` script
5. After the script finishes (assuming that it wasn't interrupted due an error), return to the `project dir` and then enter the `dist` sub-folder. Inside should be a Linux image that need to become "burned" into a USB stick. It can become also used in Virtual Machines
