Tails 3.6





Tails 3.6: The Linux distribution for anonymity launched with improvements










The Tails Project announced that it has launched the new version TAILS 3.6, the operating system based on Linux that suffers “amnesia” for the sake of our private data. Yes, the operating system for anonymity has a new update, the same system that they say that Edward Snowden, the former CIA agent used to surf anonymously online and keep his privacy. Well now you too can enjoy the new version of this LiveCD.

Tails is a live operating system that tries to preserve your privacy and your anonymity. It helps you to use the Internet anonymously and avoid censorship in almost any place and any computer, but without leaving a trace unless you explicitly ask for it. It is a complete operating system designed to be used from a USB memory or a DVD regardless of the original operating system of the computer. It is free software and is based on Debian GNU / Linux. Tails comes with several preconfigured applications with security in mind: web browser, instant messaging client, email client, office packages, image and sound editor, etc.

Online anonymity and censorship avoidance Tor Tails relies on Tor’s anonymity network to protect your online privacy: All software is configured to connect to the Internet through Tor if an application tries to connect directly to the Internet, the connection is automatically blocked for security. Tor is an open and distributed network that helps you defend yourself from a form of network surveillance that threatens your freedom and privacy, your confidential business activities and relationships, as well as government security. Tor protects you by redirecting your communications around a distributed network of relays made by volunteers around the world: which prevents someone from observing your communications from the sites you visit, also prevents the sites you browse from obtaining your physical location.

be anonymous online by hiding your location, connect to services that would otherwise be censored; resist attacks that block the use of Tor, using elusion tools such as bridges.

Use it anywhere without leaving a trace.

Using Tails in a computer does not alter it, nor does it depend on the installed operating system. So you can use it on your computer, a friend’s, or your local library. After turning off Tails, the computer will start again with its usual operating system.
Tails is configured with special care not to use the hard drives of the computer, even if there is space exchanged in them. The only storage space used by Tails is in the RAM, which is automatically deleted when the computer is turned off. So you will not leave any traces on the computer of the Tails system itself, or what you used it for. That’s why we call Tails “amnesiac.”
This allows you to work with sensitive documents on any computer, and it protects you from recovering information after shutting down. Of course, you can still explicitly save specific documents to another USB, or a removable hard drive and remove them for future use.

Tails 3.6 will now be moved by a fairly recent kernel, Linux 4.15, with all the improvements that implies, such as the Meltdown and Specter patches that will improve the security of our systems, preventing these vulnerabilities from being exploited. Remember that it is an operating system oriented to privacy and anonymity, therefore the aspect of security is especially pampered …
In addition to these improvements, they have also solved some bugs of previous versions and have added software packages in more updated versions as usual. For example, the latest TOR Browser version available to date has been added, as well as the Tor client / server implementation, as well as updates for the Electrum 3.0.6 and Mozilla Thunderbird 52.6.0 components, as well as other features and improvements.
The unknown developers have done a good job, and the list of news does not end there. Now we have a new tool called pdf-redact-tools command line to clean PDF metadata, in addition to having the ability to convert. It’s called pdf-redact-tools. We will also find a profile enabled by AppArmor by default for Mozilla Thunderbird for better security, and other improvements such as the automatic installation of video drivers to improve the support of GPUs, etc.

In the next article we are going to take a look at Zeal. This is a tool that will provide us with an offline documentation browser for software developers. Zeal is inspired by Dash, which is a commercial application developed especially for Mac OS. Zeal provides documentation sets (docsets) for a large number of programming languages ​​and different software. You can read them all, online or by downloading the documentation to your team. This will allow any developer to find everything they need without having to search Google or check the official documentation page. You just have to download the set of documentation that we want to use. Zeal will take care of everything else. At the time that I am writing this article, there are 192 sets of useful documentation for all kinds of developers. You can consult the languages ​​available in the following screenshot. All those documents are generously provided by Dash. These documents are updated and maintained with great care. Bu

This version, in comparison to the others offered by openSUSE, is a Rolling Release version. In this case I decided to install openSUSE Tumbleweed because it is boring and tiresome to have to update a system every time there is a new version, that's why I like the systems more relaying. For those who do not know this model, I will tell you a little, the rolling reads this is always in continuous development as it refers to a software system in constant development, we will always have the latest but stable. Without more, we will start with the installation process, there are many people who think that the system is intended for advanced users, when it is not, for those who are new to Linux they should only do their part and have patience. Just a comment, if you are not completely sure of what you are going to do, I recommend you first use a virtual m
