Red Star OS Have Nort Korea's Custom Computer Operating System (Looks Like MAC OS X) Spies On Its Own People

My Little Notes - North Korea's has make home-grown computer operating system as seen remarkable MAC OS X, which is used not only prevent potential hacking attempts foreigners but also provide broad oversight capability and also against its own people.

Two German researches just do a thorough analysis of the operating system state secrets and find that the OS is not more than what is known about itl.
 
This OS is directed to enabling and maintaining a state of total surveillance, while giving the illusion of technological progress for its citizens.

Red Star 3.0 was first leaked in 2014. Red Star OS using KDE 3 and only available in Korean, and localized for the North Korean spelling and terminology. It contains a Firefox-based browser for browsing intranet called naenara state, along with an email client, media player, music composition program, games, and a text editor.

Named Red Star OS is an operating system based on Linux 2009 version called Fedora 11 restrict users to view government approved the world and has a tendency to 'watermark' file on a USB stick to track the user's back and contraband materials.

Red Star Os track each user

Summary, the researchers found that the ability of Red Star that every time a user enters a USB storage device that contains photos, videos or other documents, to the computer that is running the Red Star, the OS take the hard disk serial number at this time, encrypts the number, and writes that the series encrypted into a file, to mark. This effort is suspected to follow western media is creeping into the country.

The main purpose of the file watermarking is to keep track of who actually has a certain file, which creates the file, and who is open.

The researchers previously reported this watermarking feature after analyzing the Red Star OS, but Florian Grünow and Niklaus IT company Schiess GmbH Germany ERNW plunge to investigate further on the Red Star OS.

Red Star OS Makers Have Full Control

 

Most of the unique features of Red Star, including file encryption own version, which is designed to give the makers full control over the operating system, thus freed from the code which could be compromised and exploited by foreign intelligence services, the duo said as they presented their findings at the Congress of Communication Chaos in Hamburg on Sunday.
The researchers analyzed three versions to the latest Red Star OS that came out around 2013 and it was obvious software as a growing authoritarian country.

Red Star OS provides its own firewall, antivirus systems and web browsers are redirected to the internal server korea north and even develop customized encryption.

No Tampering

Anyway, a small program which is included in Red Star OS will continue to monitor the computer for any changes made to the file system.

As a result, every user who attempts to tamper with the operating system's core functions, such as disabling antivirus or firewall, will cause the computer to display an error message or reboot itself.

At this time, the duo did not have information about how many computers in North Korea using this operating system, because they found the OS of sites abroad, while visitors to North Korea say most computers are still using Windows XP.

Thus some Red Star Os - North Korea's, there may be suggestions or article that you want to add? please add and contact me via Google+
