Quote from: soulcandy on April 26, 2012, 05:33 amIs it possible to boot it from a Virtual Machine running Windows on my Mac? Or would that defeat the purpose?Hi buddy,Yes this is perfectly feasible.I used to have a Windows VM on a Mac using the free program Virtualbox - and there's no reason you can't use Windows for your nefarious dealings. A few things to take into account:- The virtual disk image file is just as vulnerable to being seized and analysed as a regular hard disk. For this reason I'd suggest using Truecrypt to perform full disk encryption on the Virtual Machine. Of course you also can (and should!) do this to your regular hard drive on your Mac too!- Windows has more security holes than other Operating Systems and is more vulnerable to malware/viruses so make sure you install an effective Internet Security suite (my personal favourite is AVG free Antivirus plus the firewall Zonealarm) but my knowledge of Windows is a little dated so please anyone in the know feel free to contradict!- If you decide to go ahead and do this, be careful when downloading Windows CD from torrenting websites which may have been modified to include malware. A second hand official copy of Windows XP Home Edition will set you back about $30 - a small price to pay for the peace of mind!Liberte Linux is also available as a virtual machine as well as a bootable USB version. It's excellent for beginners as by its very nature it's encrypted from Day 1 and all connections are immediately Torified. In addition you can't install any new programs so viruses don't get a look in. That said, the lack of Bitcoin wallet software in particular means that you'll probably want to move on from this after a while.V.
