After downloading the ISO obviously the next step is to burn it on a physical hardware.

The latest version of Tails is able for download on the official website of the project, you can download the ISO format image via direct download or through torrent, in both cases, the project also offers a digital signature (encrypted using OpenPGP) to verify the integrity of the file you've downloaded (and check that which has not undergone any manipulation by a third party).
GtkHash: allows to calculate checksums. #Pwgen tails password#
KeePassX: is a password manager where the database is encrypted with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) which is a blocks based encryption. MAT: A toolkit for anonymous metadata from files (it allows us to delete all the metadata from those files). This interest us for example if we want to make online purchases. Florencia: is a virtual keyboard to be used as a countermeasure against keyloggers. Shamir’sSecretSharing: a cryptographic algorithm (it's a secret sharing scheme that allows to distribute a secret among a group of participants, each of which is assigned a quota of secret). PWGen: is a secure password generator, consisting in take words from a list and is generated randomly. Nautilus Wipe: allows shred files easily and safely. Monkeysign: is a tool for signing OpenPGP keys. What allows us to encrypt and sign our communications and documents. GnuPG (GNU PrivacyGuard): is an application of estándarOpenPGP (standard email encryption using public key cryptography). LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup): is a tool for installing and using encrypted storage devices. Pidgin is configured with OTR (Off-the-Record) which allows private conversations by providing: Authenticity (we're sure who is the person you are talking whit, is who we think is), encryption (no one else can read your instant messages), negation (once the conversation is over someone could change the conversation but during the conversation we are sure of their authenticity) and reliability (if the private key is lost no previous conversation is compromised). Pidgin: is a chat program which lets you start session on multiple chat networks simultaneously. TOR: with Vidalia (graphical user interface) where we can change from time to time our identity. Tails offers a camouflage so that changes the appearance of the graphical environment Gnome user interface to make it look like Windows XP and thus spend more unnoticed in case someone was watching. With this OS we can safely delete files from a USB memory to prevent them from being recovered and able to "clean" the free space of a storage unit to ensure that there are no recoverable data. To end the cycle of functions Tails offers, file management is one of its strengths. On the one hand, we find a plugin installed HTTPS-Everywhere to encrypt almost all connections when we surf the internet, Pidgin, program for instant messaging, preconfigured with the module OTR ("Off-The-Record") to protect instant messaging, KeePassX, to manage your passwords safely, OpenPGP to encrypt our emails and documents. The secure browser that includes Tails also offers a couple of interesting details focused on improving our security. #Pwgen tails install#
To take a simple example, suppose we install Gimp, once it is installed we can use it without any problem but when turn off the computer Gimp will disappears, next the next boot of Tails you will have to reinstall Gimp. Therefore everything is saved in our /home and any program that we install will not be present the next time you boot Tails.
The USB or DVD where we execute Tails has no persistence. The entire programs are stored and run on our RAM, so when turn off computer, the memory is erased, deleting all traces of what we have done. This is guaranteed thanks to Tails does not use a hard drive. Tails leaves no trace of the sites you have visited or the actions we have taken when we connect through the Internet. Any outbound connection which is not anonymous will be blocked by Tails unless expressly you tell it to don't do it. We will have available a button to change our connection in order to have a new IP and "change our identity."
Therefore we are ensuring our privacy and anonymity because we are hiding our IP and all the outgoing information is encrypted.
All of our computer outgoing connections go through the Tor network. #Pwgen tails software#
