Hello, Thank you for coming

We're gonna give a talk about and
gonna give a technical overview of tails.

That's kurono, intrigeri
and I am BitingBird

We are all tails contributors
in different fields.

I don't do technical things,

intrigeri is one of the
oldest tails contributors

and kurono contributes
since three years now

Tails is the acronym of
the-amnesic-incognito-life-system

And there is the nice url,
where you can have all the information.

It's a life operating system.

It works on almost any computer -
except ARM

And it boots from a dvd or a usb stick

and theoretically from sdcard too,
but it doesn't work very well.

The focus of our new distribution
is privacy and anonymity.

It allows the user
to use the internet anonymously.

And also, when there is censorship,
to circumvent it.

All the connections to
the internet go with tor,

which is an anonymization network.

That's the first big feature of tails.

And the second one is

that there is no trace
on the computer you are using

so after you used it nobody can see
that you've used the computer.

If somebody would grab your computer
and search files

they would not know,
what you have done.

Unless you ask for it explicitly <????>

We have also a lot of data producing tools

because some users use it to write books,
articles, video and such things.

They want to be able to create such documents without being traced.

We have a very good report,

not from our users,

actually from the people
we want to protect them against.
