may ask "what is tails os?".
may ask "what is tails os?".
Tails:
tails is a part of debian family.It focuses on privacy so much that it only uses tor.But as the tails page mentions
that "tails is safe but not magic" it is correct because if you use a privacy based os like tails but you don't follow
security methods like: opsec,etc it will not protect you from others.There is also persistence(allwoing a usb device to
store documents even after booting it) in tails,but it is not recommended as it leaves your documents in the USB drive;
which will make you easy to track!So first we should discuss the requirements then we will get to the installation.
