Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System)
A live operating system that you can start on almost any computer from a USB stick. It aims at preserving your privacy and anonymity by forcing all internet connections through the Tor network and leaving no trace on the computer you are using. Tails comes with a suite of pre-installed applications that are configured for security and privacy, including a web browser, email client, instant messaging, and office suite. It is designed to be used as a portable operating system for secure communication and data handling. Tails is open-source, allowing for transparency and community review of its security features. The operating system is developed by a global community of volunteers and is funded by donations and grants, ensuring it remains free and open-source.

Tails is a powerful tool for maintaining privacy and anonymity, but it requires some technical knowledge to set up and use effectively. Users should also be aware that while Tails routes all internet traffic through the Tor network, it does not protect against all forms of surveillance or tracking, especially if users log into personal accounts or download files.
