This course explores Qubes OS, a "reasonably secure" operating system favored by Edward Snowden. The learning outcomes include understanding the concept of isolated "qubes" for privacy and security through compartmentalization. Students will learn about hardware requirements, Qubes installation, setting up VMs, using disposable machines, sharing data across VMs, and ensuring persistence. The teaching method includes a mix of theoretical explanations, practical demonstrations, and real-life setups. This course is intended for individuals interested in enhancing their knowledge of secure operating systems and virtualization techniques.
