Tails 5.9 Live Install USB Bootable
- use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship;
all connections to the Internet are forced to go through the Tor network; - leave no trace on the computer you are using unless you ask it explicitly;
- use state-of-the-art cryptographic tools to encrypt your files, emails and instant messaging.
Use anywhere but leave no trace
Using Tails on a computer doesn't alter or depend on the operating system installed on it. So you can use it in the same way on your computer, a friend's
computer, or one at your local library. After shutting down Tails, the computer will start again with its usual operating system.
Tails is configured with special care to not use the computer's hard-disks, even if there is some swap space on them. The only storage space used by Tails is
in RAM, which is automatically erased when the computer shuts down. So you won't leave any trace on the computer either of the Tails system itself or what
you used it for. That's why we call Tails "amnesic". This allows you to work with sensitive documents on any computer and protects you from data recovery
after shutdown. Of course, you can still explicitly save specific documents to another USB stick or external hard-disk and take them away for future use.
State-of-the-art cryptographic tools
Tails also comes with a selection of tools to protect your data using strong encryption:
· Encrypt your USB sticks or external hard-disks using LUKS, the Linux standard for disk-encryption.
· Automatically use HTTPS to encrypt all your communications to a number of major websites using HTTPS Everywhere, a Firefox extension developed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
· Encrypt and sign your emails and documents using the de facto standard OpenPGP either from Tails email client, text editor or file browser.
· Protect your instant messaging conversations using OTR, a cryptographic tool that provides encryption, authentication and deniability.
· Securely delete your files and clean your diskspace using Nautilus Wipe.
