xB Machine is a virtual operating system that is small enough to fit on a USB drive. It brings a secure computing environment that anonymizes all internet activity, and has portable encrypted file storage.[1] It is developed by XeroBank and based on a modified Gentoo Linux distribution. It can be executed as a virtual machine through a QEMU hypervisor, VMWare, VirtualBox, and any other major virtualization system. It can also be booted from on USB or burned to CD for booting. Virtualization, along with the native implementation of a Tor onion routing for internet connectivity and other encryption and privacy tools, has been utilized to increase the security and anonymity of the user. The developers claim that it is the most secure operating system in the world[2] and that the technology involved is highly resistant to hacking and spying, even in the most hostile environments.[3] The details and transactions inside each xB Machine account are protected with 256-bit AES encryption. The software also has a self-destruct sequence[4] for eliminating any traces that a user may leave behind on the drivespace after using xB Machine.
Current features are:
- LiveCD or bootable ISO on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X
- CD-Rom/USB/HDD Bootable
