I initially created this to have a dedicated & secure OS specifically for my crypto. That then grew into helping friends/family do the same as well and with the recent posts of people getting infected with crypto jacking trojans, I figured now would be a great time to release. To be clear, I take no credit for OS as this is powered by elementary OS. Link:
https://elementary.io/ Elementary OS is great for its simplicity, privacy & security. However, I took the liberty to customize/harden the image further such as: establishing a deny-all approach to only allow critical traffic, disabling ports, disabling ping replies, checking for network leaks, and scanning for baseline image vulnerabilities. Furthermore, simplicity is also an issue for some not familiar with Linux, so packages like eddy are installed by default to help install applications. Currently this image is being secured on hardened pcs and enclosures hence the name (LockBox [LBX]) Here's some of what's inside:

Vorta for BorgBackup - (Protect your data from disk failure, ransomware and theft.
GUI firewall (GUFW)
**Exodus wallet is NOT installed by default nor any other crypto wallets.**
For those skeptical and or testing before deployment, I highly recommend deploying the OVA first on an isolated network (VLAN) w/o and internet connection per best security practices. I'm interested in growing the trust of the community and expanding this beyond its current scope as we progress. Any network leaks or suspicious activity spotted on the baseline image, PLEASE post this publicly with evidence. Thanks again and apology in advance mods if this is the wrong section.
