Tails is solid, only issue with tails or tor is your isp can see you are using tails/tor. Which in some cases, may make you look suspicious because you are the one person on the isp who only uses tor. Really could do a great video on how to avoid this issue of your isp seeing your tor use. Such as a bridge possibly. Or raspberry pi tor router. Solutions and content. Good stuff good memes
A VPN or proxy at least moves that trust of who sees what you send to someone else, though the former is safer. However, read the provider's policies first just to see what they do with your data. Also, user agents (tells the site your OS, browser, etc) can be changed by the client, assuming you can do this on Tor.
@Bernd Lauert I believe a bridge stops the ISP from knowing you're using Tor (because the IPs of the bridges are not supposed to be published as the IPs of entry nodes do). The server you're connecting to will always known you're using Tor unless you tunnel it in someway with VPN over Tor (or is it the other way arround, don't remember), but I don't known is that is a good idea.
Forget the dark web; any time you want security without having to think twice abiut it, Tails is for you. Unlike Kodachi, it automatically deletes everything from memory upon shutdown rather than needing the user to set up/enter a "panic room" safe code.. and the less things left up to the 200lb gorilla behind the screen, the more secure it is. I keeo a usb drive with Tails OS installed in my backpack at all times, just in case. You never know when it'll be handy.
@@CGoody564 Yeah I get that and that's the reason why it's such a legendary OS, but there's so much missed potential when using it because most people don't know what they're doing with it.
It seems to not work all the time for me. With that said, I'd rather it just delete everything from memory to begin with. Less to trust, less to go wrong, just better overall. If you want persistent storage, so be it... But if you feel it necessary to usr Tails at the time, you're better off without it.
I just use another known clean usb disk device for storage, cause I had problems updating tails with persistance, it would wipe the partition or fail to update.
@@LaskyLabs Also, funny thing, the dvd version of tails is technically the most secure, since most dvds are read-only after writing once, unlike usb sticks which are rewritable all the time, and unless you make your own usb stick hardware to specifically have a hardware switch which disables input, you still run the risk of compromised hardware writing code to your device. With optical that's just not possible, at worst it kills the disk. Though this is vantablack level of anti glow protection talk...

Good job, but some important points. DO NOT UPDATE TAILS FROM WITHIN THE SYSTEM. you can use the automatic tails update which gives you the latest version, but running a system update is a big no no. It can completely break your anonymity. Tails isn't meant to be used as a daily driver. Finally the Devs have though hard about every choice they make to balance usability with safety.

Can you make a video of things you consider a must have on a system like Linux Mint? A comfy daily driver and things to install and set up as soon as you get a fresh system? Much love, stay based.
@@tylerdean980 i didnt mean just ricing but like i got a fresh install what programs are like needed, some settings, how to compile and build stuff like the designer browsers he uses and shit like that, how to go from the barebones install to something you can comfortably use.
Can you make a review of Whonix later on, or perhaps Whonix over Qubes. In Tails, if somehow the OS gets compromised, and the attacker manages to escalate priviledges (because you enabled a weak root password for example) then the attacker could bypass Tor and see deanonymize the user. Whonix takes a different aproach which is to use two virtual machines: one that acts as a Tor gateway and firewall, and another that is the workstation. If the workstation gets compromised, it should not be possible for the attacker to bypass the firewall.
@5:22 "...and then you don't really need to give it a lot of disk space.." You do not need to give it any disk space, whatsoever (unless you choose to create persistent storage). You can run TAILS on a computer that has no hard drive (no SSD).
@@tylerdean980 Yes, installing TAILS as a virtual machine would likely use disk space (the same space that would be used when installing TAILS on a flash drive). Once TAILS loads, it runs 100% in RAM (the files you see are on a RAM disk). But for those that will try TAILS natively (installing and running from a flash drive), they should know that disk space is meaningless (short of creating optional, persistent storage).
@@NoEgg4u actually, you don’t need any disk space if you are loading from a virtual machine either, because you will load it directly from the ISO. What he did was really unnecessary.
If you disable javascript you'll loose functionality in most modern websites. This means having a good ad blocker is the go-to option if you want to use websites that aren't 10+ years old.
It's Tor, it isn't meant to access to the normal internet. Basically, in the deep web most websites look like 2000's sites, and they barely use JS (why would you need it when it only shows CP videos/pics or plain text?).
You clearly never used tor and don't know what it's mostly for. "Browse Privately. Explore Freely." is literally their motto. It's not made JUST to access the deep web, IT CAN be used for that, but it is, ultimately, a browser that access an encrypted open network that routes data through multiple servers while encrypting all the way through, preserving your identity, data and ultimately your privacy, while allowing people from 'strict countries' to access content from the outside.
@@gomescodes5546 So, the 3 "VPN"'s of the browser are always used, even when just accessing normal websites through TOR? And, btw, don't jump to conclusions: I do use TOR, but not for protecting my privacy in any way, I just access deep web sites occassionally, so never really had the need to inform myself on the security/privacy standards it has for accessing the normal web.
@@hasher9360 You just said Deep Web only has CP and plain text, and that you're a user. Kappa. While using Tor you're AT LEAST connected through the Onion network. You're never directly connecting to a website, hence your IP and location are never compromised. Because it connects through different "routing" each time.
Anything in the encrypted persistence portion of your USB is in fact saved though. Which you could use a diceware passphrase with 6 completely random words and about 6 symbols so people won’t be able to do anything even if they get access to your USB
@@infotrutherThe USB that Tails is running off of still has the ability to save persistent (permanent) files, even if the files are encrypted/protected. Important to know in case you think it gets wiped every time (like most other live USB sessions by default) The person also mentions that if they were to use that storage, they'd be using a super-secure password to decrypt the files
I made a bootable years ago, and I accidentally wiped my entire drive. What really sucked was the drive was reformatted in a way that I couldn’t reinstall windows onto it. Ended up using Ubuntu till I got a new drive, since there was no way to reformat the drive via Ubuntu.
So this is usually a total disconnect issue via software. Likely converted to RAW and had no binding available within Windows for you to know what to do. Device manager & Diskpart are your friends.
That is just proper classic linux distro review, terminal is ugly and U ckliked around menu, forgot to try moving cursor over wallpaper to get a real feel of Tails :)))
Wow, the grotesque corporate advertising cartoon character market seems to be really booming over the last couple years. It's like we're all 5 or something.
As I understand it, Tails can be installed to have persistence, although I could be wrong. I always run Linux from a USB drive and want my changes to be saved. I would also like to be able to easily create a usable clone of my boot USB. Recommendations and suggestions? Thanks.
the domestic violence survivor was quite a stretch, there is cases of 911 called where the victim pretended to be ordering a pizza, i dont think that TOR would help a lot, but there may be something that i'm missing
Well, if you're just using your 'normal' internet to report something on a police website for example, anyone with access to the home router could see the visited websites...
i mean you don't seem to like gnome (and i agree that it's kinda slow) so i wanna ask: What's your favourite Desktop environment? I like KDE Plasma! ^^
Tails is too heavy on ram for what it does, the functionality is very limited, has systemd vulnerability... I even think outdated OS like Heads or Mofolinux can be more useful and flexible. Parrot OS in the non pen testing edition is focusing more on privacy and made a good effort with the xfce version but I would say the ultimate privacy linux distro is kodachi.

Also if you use somthing like torsocks on a regular distro, you cannot use ping, traceroute, etc.. because it is technically impossible.
Man i just looked up tails OS yesterday.

The i7-4790k is a bad ass CPU, even if it's 22nm.
Can you make a video of things you consider a must have on a system like Linux Mint? A comfy daily driver and things to install and set up as soon as you get a fresh system? Much love, stay based.
Rsync
He has a couple videos on customization. Maybe start with making the terminal sesksi
@@tylerdean980 i didnt mean just ricing but like i got a fresh install what programs are like needed, some settings, how to compile and build stuff like the designer browsers he uses and shit like that, how to go from the barebones install to something you can comfortably use.
Can you make a review of Whonix later on, or perhaps Whonix over Qubes.
In Tails, if somehow the OS gets compromised, and the attacker manages to escalate priviledges (because you enabled a weak root password for example) then the attacker could bypass Tor and see deanonymize the user.
Whonix takes a different aproach which is to use two virtual machines: one that acts as a Tor gateway and firewall, and another that is the workstation. If the workstation gets compromised, it should not be possible for the attacker to bypass the firewall.
You're a great channel man, thank you for giving attention to all this stuff.
@5:22 "...and then you don't really need to give it a lot of disk space.."
You do not need to give it any disk space, whatsoever (unless you choose to create persistent storage).
You can run TAILS on a computer that has no hard drive (no SSD).
Maybe he had to because he was running on a virtual machine
@@tylerdean980 Yes, installing TAILS as a virtual machine would likely use disk space (the same space that would be used when installing TAILS on a flash drive).
Once TAILS loads, it runs 100% in RAM (the files you see are on a RAM disk).
But for those that will try TAILS natively (installing and running from a flash drive), they should know that disk space is meaningless (short of creating optional, persistent storage).
@@NoEgg4u Yes, the ability to use on a PC that doesn't even have a HDD is a real peace of mind I imagine for those that really need maximum security.
@@NoEgg4u actually, you don’t need any disk space if you are loading from a virtual machine either, because you will load it directly from the ISO. What he did was really unnecessary.
What if you run out of ram? What would happen with no page file?
i dont even know if these are luke's smith videos anymore
po files are language files for software like WordPress, so that's why it's under programming
If you disable javascript you'll loose functionality in most modern websites.
This means having a good ad blocker is the go-to option if you want to use websites that aren't 10+ years old.
It's Tor, it isn't meant to access to the normal internet. Basically, in the deep web most websites look like 2000's sites, and they barely use JS (why would you need it when it only shows CP videos/pics or plain text?).
You clearly never used tor and don't know what it's mostly for. "Browse Privately. Explore Freely." is literally their motto. It's not made JUST to access the deep web, IT CAN be used for that, but it is, ultimately, a browser that access an encrypted open network that routes data through multiple servers while encrypting all the way through, preserving your identity, data and ultimately your privacy, while allowing people from 'strict countries' to access content from the outside.
@@gomescodes5546 So, the 3 "VPN"'s of the browser are always used, even when just accessing normal websites through TOR?
And, btw, don't jump to conclusions: I do use TOR, but not for protecting my privacy in any way, I just access deep web sites occassionally, so never really had the need to inform myself on the security/privacy standards it has for accessing the normal web.
@@hasher9360 You just said Deep Web only has CP and plain text, and that you're a user. Kappa.
While using Tor you're AT LEAST connected through the Onion network. You're never directly connecting to a website, hence your IP and location are never compromised. Because it connects through different "routing" each time.
Anything in the encrypted persistence portion of your USB is in fact saved though. Which you could use a diceware passphrase with 6 completely random words and about 6 symbols so people won’t be able to do anything even if they get access to your USB
Could you explain that from the beginning. I'm learning
@@infotrutherThe USB that Tails is running off of still has the ability to save persistent (permanent) files, even if the files are encrypted/protected. Important to know in case you think it gets wiped every time (like most other live USB sessions by default)
The person also mentions that if they were to use that storage, they'd be using a super-secure password to decrypt the files
Ah, well yes. I do kind of remember the last time I used tails, but only just barely.

The important benefit is no systemd, systemd will use google dns if the system dns fails to resolve the domain name
@@edvonrattlehead2135 can't you point the backup dns for systemd to something else like 1.1.1.1 or another dnr or is that hard baked?
@@Kikker861 it is hard baked iirc

Hey Kenny, would you ever consider reviewing early versions of Linux Distros?
>(you) with a fedora and a john waters mustache
I feel attacked
Hello FBI agent
I watch this video for educational purposes only.
Sure.
I made a bootable years ago, and I accidentally wiped my entire drive. What really sucked was the drive was reformatted in a way that I couldn’t reinstall windows onto it. Ended up using Ubuntu till I got a new drive, since there was no way to reformat the drive via Ubuntu.
Next time disconnect the drive that you don't want to format
So this is usually a total disconnect issue via software. Likely converted to RAW and had no binding available within Windows for you to know what to do. Device manager & Diskpart are your friends.
That is just proper classic linux distro review, terminal is ugly and U ckliked around menu, forgot to try moving cursor over wallpaper to get a real feel of Tails :)))
I wish you would have covered the dot files and persistent wallpapers and such, I haven’t been able to find any good documentation on this.

ah yes i see
would love to see you review Qubes OS
The bit of domestic abused wife advantage of using tor for reporting and reviewing if the agressor would know how to spot that was hilarios NGL
Can't do much when the hardware itself glows...
There is only one thing that bothers me, the fact that switching language shortcut doesn't work 😢
Next review request: Temple OS
Oh God... I'm going to get drone striked just for watching this video...

Monero might be annonymous while others are pseudonymous, but it's inflationary. For money sake Nano is more akin to physical currency.
This OS is how I got into Linux thanks to my craving for adult furry content.

Yeah that kinda shit better be "enjoyed" trough something like Tails
When it comes to knowledge of Linux, your incompetence is utterly staggering.
Please let the experts perform critical analysis of security based OS's.

I usually just refer to it as Tails, though TailOS should also be fine.

pleaseeeee do a video on Qubes OS if you can
As I understand it, Tails can be installed to have persistence, although I could be wrong. I always run Linux from a USB drive and want my changes to be saved. I would also like to be able to easily create a usable clone of my boot USB. Recommendations and suggestions? Thanks.
There is another live only distro called slax.
the domestic violence survivor was quite a stretch, there is cases of 911 called where the victim pretended to be ordering a pizza, i dont think that TOR would help a lot, but there may be something that i'm missing
it's a line for activist organizations to donate to them
Well, if you're just using your 'normal' internet to report something on a police website for example, anyone with access to the home router could see the visited websites...
I ran Tails off a DVD. Because I do not even trust the USB to not possibly store something.
Is puppy still a thing? I used to use that too. Thinking of going back to tails.

i mean you don't seem to like gnome (and i agree that it's kinda slow) so i wanna ask: What's your favourite Desktop environment?
I like KDE Plasma! ^^
I think he has stated that he is a dwm loyalist
I think he says he likes xfce for nonbloated and kde for bloated DE
I've started moving from KDE to dwm
Did you try some of the immutable Linux OS yet? NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, openSUSE MicroOS?
What will it take to download all youtube videos how much storage will I need? Do you know?
Might want to revisit since gnome telemetry announcement
its a seperate package, so everythings safe.
Hey Kenny, how about you do a fork of Tails with what you think are good changes to make and call it the Highly Encrypted Anonymous Desktop System?
>gets new distro
>installs neofetch
That (by the Holy Rules of Linux ™️) is one of the first things you must do after getting a distro.

Windows: the ultimate piracy distro
Loki Net, Tails OS, what's next Digimon Firewalls??
Tails is too heavy on ram for what it does, the functionality is very limited, has systemd vulnerability... I even think outdated OS like Heads or Mofolinux can be more useful and flexible. Parrot OS in the non pen testing edition is focusing more on privacy and made a good effort with the xfce version but I would say the ultimate privacy linux distro is kodachi.
the unsafe browser is probably just a debugging tool for if tor isnt working or something
