Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amnesic_Incognito_Live_System http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amnesic_Incognito_Live_Syst..., a Debian fork which forces Tor for all outgoing and incoming connections. Designed to be run from read-only media.
- reedalex01 12y agoMore info on their relationship with Debian: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/relationship_with_upstream https://tails.boum.org/contribute/relationship_with_upstream "For various reasons Tails tries to diverge by the smallest possible amount from its upstream projects, and especially from Debian" "We try to push our changes upstream when we need to modify software we ship. This often requires us to write code in a generic way, rather than implementing ad-hoc hacks to fit our specific needs: e.g. we often need to make the stuff we need opt-in and add configuration options." The official term for this is "Debian derivative" rather than "fork."
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoSo, is this proof that tor is not completely subverted by the NSA? Recent articles here claim that the NSA has been deploying numerous nodes and can analyze traffic from multiple nodes to compromise the user. Or is this proof of tor being better than nothing?
- toyg 12y agoThe latter. The NSA didn't have to analyze anything: Snowden was not a known target, and he revealed himself before any real manhunt or mass-analysis had started.
