About Developers[edit]

Whonix ™ initially has been created by (at least) three people, see Authorship. A lot other people reserve credit, as outlined on the Authorship page. Please carefully read the Disclaimer.

Documenting what Whonix ™ does and what Whonix ™ does not do is more a task for documenting what it does not do. Quoted from the About page: "Remember, Whonix ™ is based on Debian, KDE, VirtualBox, Tor and Tor Browser. It is nothing very special. To oversimplify it: Whonix ™ is just a collection of configuration files. ¹"

The result (Whonix ™) creates a picture in some people's minds that Patrick Schleizer (Whonix ™ developer) must be similar to Tor developers a genius and expert for all kinds of technical topics. The facts are quite the opposite...

Patrick Schleizer:

Has initiated the TorBOX project, which was later renamed to Whonix ™. (See History.)
Initially had some help by (at least) two different people.
Many improvements are based on reading documentation, papers, researching, stating questions, discussion, communication with the community.

What Patrick Schleizer is NOT an expert for:

Tor source code
Tor anonymity
Security
Vulnerabilities
Exploits
Hardening
...

Creating Whonix ™ was quite simple and you'll see it yourself if you care to read the source code and technical design. There was a learning curve involved and time investment. That does NOT make me automatically an expert in all kinds of topics.
