Tails is The Amnesic Incognito Live System. Think of it as 'private browsing on steroids'. It is a fully bootable Debian-based distro that is designed from the ground up to protect your anonymity and privacy. All traffic is routed through Tor by default. In addition to many basic applications, it includes utilities designed to prevent information leaks.
It is used by whistleblowers, journalists & their sources, political activists living under oppressive regimes, victims of domestic abuse and many more. Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras all used it throughout the process of bringing the NSA's overreach to light, and continue to use it today.
In this workshop, we will be covering more fully what Tails is, what it is used for, how to get your own copy up & going, as well as special considerations to take when it comes to operational security. Step-by-step instructions for creating your own bootable copy will be provided for your convenience.'
