Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) is a privacy-focused, security-centric operating system designed to preserve anonymity and protect against surveillance. It is a live operating system that runs from a USB stick or DVD, leaving no trace on the host computer. Tails routes all internet traffic through the Tor network, encrypts communications, and includes tools for secure file storage and messaging. It is ideal for users who prioritize privacy, anonymity, and security.
