Tails: The Amnesic Incognito Live System
From the webpage:
Privacy for anyone anywhere
Tails is a live DVD+ or live USB+ that aims at preserving your privacy and anonymity.
It helps you to:
- use the Internet anonymously almost anywhere you go and on any computer: all connections to the Internet are forced to go through the Tor network;
- leave no trace on the computer you’re using unless you ask it explicitly;
- use state-of-the-art cryptographic tools to encrypt your files, email and instant messaging.
If you go data mining where you are unwanted, don’t use your regular user name and real address.
In fact, something like Tails might be in order.
Being mindful that possession of a USB stick with Tails on it could be considered a breach of security, should someone choose to take it that way.
Probably best to use a DVD disgiused as a Lady Gaga disk. 😉
PS: Being mindful there is always the old fashioned hostile data mining, steal the drives: Swiss Spy Agency: Counter-Terrorism Secrets Stolen.
