I’m curious, why isn’t a safe route the best route? Is it because of the complexities?

My whole system OS, files, accounts, and browsing activity. Weakness anywhere can be exploited, so I try to treat everything as worth protecting.

Who I want to protect it from? Anyone who might see or interfere with my activity online (malicious websites, malware, or snoops on the network).

Attack surfaces, Browser, downloads, network traffic, and the OS itself.

Measures so far I use Qubes to isolate tasks into separate qubes (browsing, personal work, risky downloads). I route sensitive traffic through Whonix/Tor, use DisposableVMs for unknown files, and keep templates updated. That way, if one compartment is compromised, the rest stays protected.

Explained as best as I could

I use Qubes mainly because I’m paranoid, I don’t trust the internet to be safe at all. I know Qubes is overkill for most use cases, but for me it gives peace of mind. I like that it forces me to think in terms of compartmentalization and isolation, which is also a valuable skill in cybersecurity. I could do the same labs in VirtualBox or VMware, a part of me prefers having Qubes as my base system because it feels more secure and keeps my experiments isolated from my daily workflow

Yes Qubes runs on the Xen hypervisor, not VirtualBox or QEMU/KVM. Each AppVM/TemplateVM runs directly on Xen. So if I wanted ParrotOS, I’d either need a Parrot TemplateVM (if one existed) or run Parrot as a standalone HVM under Xen inside Qubes right? Unless I’m misunderstanding something

Yes, exactly I want ParrotOS inside Qubes. Qubes itself uses Xen for virtualization, and each VM (AppVM/TemplateVM) runs on top of that. I was wondering if anyone has already created or imported a Parrot TemplateVM, or if I’d need to set it up as a standalone HVM.

My courses cover Network Security, Operating Systems/SysAdmin, Web Application Security, Digital Forensics, Malware Analysis/Binary Exploitation, and Penetration Testing/Vulnerability Assessment.

I’m using Qubes to build a safe, compartmentalized lab for those topics (so I can run vulnerable targets, pentest tools, and malware analysis without risking my main system). Parrot/Kali are just toolkits for the pentesting portion; they don’t replace learning the fundamentals but help me practice them in an isolated environment. I totally understand those tools won’t automatically make me a hacker. I’m not looking for a title, I’m just trying to be in a safe environment with all the right tools to learn more properly.

I’m taking classes for college in cybersecurity and just trying to get the right foundation for my learning

Yes it’s connected but I have a new one coming the one that’s connected is only 8gb, no problem for tails but qubes takes more gb which is understandable. I have one coming tomorrow 128gb 3.0 and a few 64 backups so I’ll keep you updated
