Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) is a security-focused Linux distribution designed to preserve privacy and anonymity. It runs as a live operating system from a USB stick or DVD, leaving no trace on the host computer unless explicitly instructed. Tails routes all internet connections through the Tor network, helping users stay anonymous and avoid surveillance or censorship. It comes pre-installed with a curated set of privacy-focused tools, including the Tor Browser, secure email clients, and encryption utilities. Tails is particularly useful for journalists, activists, and anyone needing a secure computing environment in untrusted locations. Its amnesic nature ensures that all data and activities are wiped after each session, making it a powerful tool for maintaining digital confidentiality.
