    To the question "why isn't the terminal not in dark mode by default" >> to raise less suspicion when you're using it in a public place.
    Same goes for the "ugly" simple and not modern look. So to an untrained eye, it looks like an old version of windows. Even the chose of wallpaper color is meant in that intent of "blending in" and "not raise suspicion".

      Also, funny thing, the dvd version of tails is technically the most secure, since most dvds are read-only after writing once, unlike usb sticks which are rewritable all the time, and unless you make your own usb stick hardware to specifically have a hardware switch which disables input, you still run the risk of compromised hardware writing code to your device. With optical that's just not possible, at worst it kills the disk. Though this is vantablack level of anti glow protection talk...

    Tails is solid, only issue with tails or tor is your isp can see you are using tails/tor. Which in some cases, may make you look suspicious because you are the one person on the isp who only uses tor. Really could do a great video on how to avoid this issue of your isp seeing your tor use. Such as a bridge possibly. Or raspberry pi tor router. Solutions and content. Good stuff good memes

      A VPN or proxy at least moves that trust of who sees what you send to someone else, though the former is safer. However, read the provider's policies first just to see what they do with your data.
      Also, user agents (tells the site your OS, browser, etc) can be changed by the client, assuming you can do this on Tor.

      @glitchy_weasel 3 года назад +33

      @Bernd Lauert I believe a bridge stops the ISP from knowing you're using Tor (because the IPs of the bridges are not supposed to be published as the IPs of entry nodes do).
      The server you're connecting to will always known you're using Tor unless you tunnel it in someway with VPN over Tor (or is it the other way arround, don't remember), but I don't known is that is a good idea.

      Unlike Kodachi, it automatically deletes everything from memory upon shutdown rather than needing the user to set up/enter a "panic room" safe code.. and the less things left up to the 200lb gorilla behind the screen, the more secure it is.

    Good job, but some important points. DO NOT UPDATE TAILS FROM WITHIN THE SYSTEM. you can use the automatic tails update which gives you the latest version, but running a system update is a big no no. It can completely break your anonymity. Tails isn't meant to be used as a daily driver. Finally the Devs have though hard about every choice they make to balance usability with safety.

    Can you make a review of Whonix later on, or perhaps Whonix over Qubes.
    In Tails, if somehow the OS gets compromised, and the attacker manages to escalate priviledges (because you enabled a weak root password for example) then the attacker could bypass Tor and see deanonymize the user.
    Whonix takes a different aproach which is to use two virtual machines: one that acts as a Tor gateway and firewall, and another that is the workstation. If the workstation gets compromised, it should not be possible for the attacker to bypass the firewall.
