ANIX

The ORL Anonymous Information Computing System (or “ANIX”) is an experimental operating system being developed by the AMI Operations Research Laboratories. It is being developed expressly for the infosec market, developers, and Linux powerusers.

It foremost will be a pentesting OS, rigged up with all sorts of fun essential tools that every script kiddie and aspiring professional should have, that you can boot from a keydrive. It will also be a secure everyday OS that you can install to your laptop or home computer. Its spirit will be expressed with a sleek minimalist interface geared towards professionals who want to get things done quickly without software bloat and clunky design getting in the way.

ANIX currently only exists in prototypical “Research ANIX” form. Some components like the GUI are already being distributed, whereas other components are still bound to their owner's local machines. Other parts, such as an installer or RISC-V port, are still completely theoretical.

In order to further the development of ANIX, the Anonymous Military Institute is currently running the Research ANIX program. By following (and field testing) the Single ANIX Specification, you too can build it you own “ANIX-Spec” operating system at home.

ANIX was the collision of several ongoing off-campus projects by several AMI faculty members and various independent AnonOps cells. In order to fulfill their myriad job, hacking & security needs, they all began developing homebrew solutions based on the vast open-source software library of the UNIX/BSD/Linux-world.

By the end of 2024, they had all realized that the sum total of their independent efforts comprised nearly an entire operating system, and one which could rival more bloated distros like Kali Linux and Parrot OS. All that remained was to put the pieces together in the storied halls of the Anonymous Military Institute - A 501©(3)(pending) non-profit scientific & educational organization.
