Description:
Tails is an unusual Linux
distribution developed by the Tor Project ; it
is designed to help users work around internet censorship and avoid surveillance. It is a "portable" operating system that is meant to be
run from a USB stick or ISO image and to leave no trace on the
computer it was run on. Tails routes connections to the internet over
the Tor
network and includes a selection of applications and tools
suited to working with sensitive documents, communicating securely,
and preserving users' anonymity. The tradeoff, of course, is that
Tails is less convenient and requires users to learn a new set of
tools to avoid compromising their own security and anonymity. Tails7.1 was released in October, and it seemed like as good a time as any to take
it for a spin.
