So in this section I'm going to show you a better method to improve our anonymity and privacy and to
access the darknet.
We're going to use an operating system designed to protect our anonymity and privacy.
You probably already heard of this.
It's called tails and it stands for the incognito amnesiac live operating system.
It's a Linux based operating system.
And what they mean by life is that you install it on a USB stick or on a DVD.
And then you can start it.
You can put it in any computer you want regardless of what operating system installed on that computer.
So it doesn't matter if that computer runs Windows Linux OS X.
All you need is your USB stick with tales on it.
You stick it in you boot from it and you can use tools from their the really cool thing about Thales
which is where the incognito comes from is the fact that all traffic sent from it will go through the
Tor network.
So not only browsing traffic not only messaging traffic.
Anything you do on that system or any program you even install on that system will have to you is detour
network for its traffic.
Therefore it eliminates the fear or the risks of other programs leaking data tells also never touches
the storage of your computer other than the ram.
So it completely runs using the ram which gets cleared wants to restart or shut down your computer.
Therefore it leaves no traces on the used computer.
And this is where the word amnesia comes from.
This means that you can use any computer to use tools and once done there will be no traces of what
you did on that computer.
So let's say for argument's sake you use tails which are already routs or traffic through the Tor network
but somehow someone managed to identify where you are and the anonymize you and they come and they use
your computer and they inspect that computer to see what you did on it.
If you turn off that computer there will be no traces of what you did on that computer.
Not only that but there will even be no traces of tails on that computer.
So it will seem as if you did not even run tails on that computer so that's why tails is really really
cool.
Because first of all it's life.
Once we have it installed on a USB stick or on a DVD we can use it from any computer we want.
Second it's incognito so all traffic sent from tails will always go through detour network.
Second it's incognito.
It's private.
So anything we do on a tail system using any program will always go through the Tor network.
And finally it leaves no traces.
So once we turn off that computer if the computer gets inspected there will be no traces of what we
did.
And there will even be no traces that tells was even used on that computer so throughout the section
we're going to learn how to properly configure tails install it and use it to access Web sites privately
and anonymously and access the darknet.
