Tails is a live system that aims to preserve your privacy and anonymity. It helps you to use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship almost anywhere you go and on any computer but leaving no trace unless you ask it to explicitly.
This is what Snowden uses. Tails released version 1.0 a few days ago.
Is there any guide and from tails discussing the known limits of its security?
Much like the For browser site lists the main caveats.
Shame if journalists and lovers of democracy were lulled into a false sense of security.
Yes, there is a good overview of the security limitations available: https://tails.boum.org/doc/about/warning/index.en.html
Some of those points apply not to Tails in general but to Tor. So one should be aware of those issues anyway if Tor is used on another system than Tails.
Might have to fire this up when making weed purchases using TOR on the black market. Does this have any utils built in for storing bitcoin wallets offline?
I still doubt Snowden even exists. If the NSA/CIA really wanted him they could have gotten him several times over, and if Greenwald actually had something against the CIA’s wishes they could easily go do down to latin america and serve him “two to the head” as many times before.
In fact, I don’t even think America exists.
Maybe the world is improving after all…
It seems like a few times a week, OSnews has an article about some new release of some piece of software but conspicuously neglects to actually say what the heck that software is or does. Often I get curious enough to try to find out, and often I find that even the web site for the software in question doesn’t bother to explain this either (at least not on their main page).
Thank you for actually giving us a hint this time.
