The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) 2.7
The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a Debian-based, live distribution with the goal of providing Internet anonymity for its users. The distribution accomplishes this by directing Internet traffic through the Tor network and by providing built-in tools for protecting files and scrubbing away meta data. The project’s latest release mostly focuses on fixing bugs and improving security: “Tails 2.7 is out. This release fixes many security issues and users should upgrade as soon as possible. New features: ship LetsEncrypt intermediate SSL certificate so that our tools are able to authenticate our website when its certificate is updated. Upgrades and changes: Tor 0.2.8.9, Tor Browser 6.0.6, Linux kernel 4.7, Icedove 45.4.0. Fixed problems: Synaptic installs packages with the correct architecture; set default spelling to en_US in Icedove. Known issues: users setting their Tor Browser security slider to High will have to click on a link to see the result of the search they done with the search box.” Additional information on Tails 2.7 can be found in the project’s release notes. A list of issues fixed in the 2.7 release can be found in the list of former security issues. Download: tails-i386-2.7.iso (1,113MB, signature, pkglist). Also available from OSDisc.
