PakOS Files

PakOS 12 (Gelecek) is made possible with support from Gelecek Technologies (Pakistan), a humble startup, of which i am proud to be part of. Please visit it on linkedIn at (https://www.linkedin.com/company/geleceksoln/posts/?feedView=all)

Major Features and Changes include: - PakOS 12 (Gelecek) edition is now focused on defensive cyber security, hence inclusion of NOC monitoring agents like Zabbix, and Wazuh SIEM agent is now built in with GUI dialogue (Inside Accessories Sub Menu) to input server IP and port numbers to easily configure both using GUI, instead of messing with configuration files.

• This release is hardened out of the box as per CIS hardening standards level 1, based on modified open source CIS hardening scripts from https://github.com/ovh/debian-cis.

• Additionally Lynis Auditing has also been implemented, additional hardening score will be achieved in next PakOS version, InshaAllah.

• Base Firewall rules are already in place, so any new application using a custom port numbers will need to be configured inside UFW GUI.

• A new Firefox Secure Menu Entry is fully sandboxed out of the box, however user has the choice to use the sandbox feature as per choice and level of security required.

Please enjoy and do reach out for tips, tricks, advice and suggestions by joining my Discord server at HTTP://discord.gg/DvBGxAW2D4 to learn together. PakOS would not have been possible without the solid base provided by eznix, all base scripts are his, i only modify it a bit to install my favorite Desktop Environment and set of software for personal use only.
