The reboot to reset everything reminds me of a windows program we installed at the college called DeepFreeze. Because we couldn't trust students NOT the fuck the system up somehow, this little program simply restored the os back from a snapshot we supplied, and we'd update that snapshot every break Was quite good actually 👌
I remember something called hard drive sheriff being used at my highschool back in 2001-05. It blew my mind back then that they could reset anything i changed.
Fun Fact: DeepFreeze also lets you hijack the target computer. That trick and a bored person makes for a funny afternoon. Nothing serious, mind you, at most I would sneak in a "lol" in the middle of someone's typing or at worst jiggle the mouse a bit to get the person to click on the wrong link.
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.
@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.
You could put like a tray of ferric acid over the hard drive bay and somehow rig it so that if someone tries to take it out like a regular hard drive, it would dump the acid over the drive and ruin it forever?

Forget the dark web; any time you want security without having to think twice abiut it, Tails is for you. 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. I keeo a usb drive with Tails OS installed in my backpack at all times, just in case. You never know when it'll be handy.
@@CGoody564 Yeah I get that and that's the reason why it's such a legendary OS, but there's so much missed potential when using it because most people don't know what they're doing with it.
It seems to not work all the time for me. With that said, I'd rather it just delete everything from memory to begin with. Less to trust, less to go wrong, just better overall. If you want persistent storage, so be it... But if you feel it necessary to usr Tails at the time, you're better off without it.
I just use another known clean usb disk device for storage, cause I had problems updating tails with persistance, it would wipe the partition or fail to update.
@@LaskyLabs 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...
disabling console commands makes sense especially since tails is focused on booting from anything, so good chance you won't be familiar with linux commands and will be especially vulnerable to security leaks through the console as a consequence
I guess a dark terminal looks suspicious if someone looks over your shoulder, while the white background makes it look like a text editor or something.

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.

I will note that unless we are looking for something in particular no one is really monitoring it...
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.

@@hedgeearthridge6807 Yes, and I hate that. I especially despise having to think about the goddamn government whenever I do anything. It's the reason why I don't really want to do anything with money, actually. Makes everything way more complicated than it has to be. It's the main reason why I kinda gave up on investments and business in general. Whenever you buy or sell anything, the government will be there to ruin you with taxation. It would be bad enough if it was just about the money but the worst part is the increased stress of knowing that they will be there to ruin me if I happen to not know about any tiny detail about their gigantic bureaucracy. My sanity can't handle much of that. And on top of all that there is always the risk of cryptocurrencies being banned or "REGULATED FOR OUR SAFETY". I guess the best investment is to not rely on money so you don't pay taxes, because fuck everyone involved in government, even indirectly.
Anything in the encrypted persistence portion of your USB is in fact saved though. Which you could use a diceware passphrase with 6 completely random words and about 6 symbols so people won’t be able to do anything even if they get access to your USB

If you disable javascript you'll loose functionality in most modern websites. This means having a good ad blocker is the go-to option if you want to use websites that aren't 10+ years old.
It's Tor, it isn't meant to access to the normal internet. Basically, in the deep web most websites look like 2000's sites, and they barely use JS (why would you need it when it only shows CP videos/pics or plain text?).
You clearly never used tor and don't know what it's mostly for. "Browse Privately. Explore Freely." is literally their motto. It's not made JUST to access the deep web, IT CAN be used for that, but it is, ultimately, a browser that access an encrypted open network that routes data through multiple servers while encrypting all the way through, preserving your identity, data and ultimately your privacy, while allowing people from 'strict countries' to access content from the outside.
@@gomescodes5546 So, the 3 "VPN"'s of the browser are always used, even when just accessing normal websites through TOR? And, btw, don't jump to conclusions: I do use TOR, but not for protecting my privacy in any way, I just access deep web sites occassionally, so never really had the need to inform myself on the security/privacy standards it has for accessing the normal web.
@@hasher9360 You just said Deep Web only has CP and plain text, and that you're a user. Kappa. While using Tor you're AT LEAST connected through the Onion network. You're never directly connecting to a website, hence your IP and location are never compromised. Because it connects through different "routing" each time.
I made a bootable years ago, and I accidentally wiped my entire drive. What really sucked was the drive was reformatted in a way that I couldn’t reinstall windows onto it. Ended up using Ubuntu till I got a new drive, since there was no way to reformat the drive via Ubuntu.
So this is usually a total disconnect issue via software. Likely converted to RAW and had no binding available within Windows for you to know what to do. Device manager & Diskpart are your friends.
My ex partner, who is studying Software engineering, was a fans of tails. They’re not particularly part of the “mentally sane” category of people, so their use of tails was worrisome for me, as they kept it private and I was aware of their fucked up mentality, warped moral perception and not so legal likings. I feel safe to say that it is a realistically secure distro. XD
As I understand it, Tails can be installed to have persistence, although I could be wrong. I always run Linux from a USB drive and want my changes to be saved. I would also like to be able to easily create a usable clone of my boot USB. Recommendations and suggestions? Thanks.

I didn't get into individual packet data so I can't comment very much on thhat... If an administrator wanted to capture it, i'm sure its possible.
I will note that unless we are looking for something in particular no one is really monitoring it...
Also if you use somthing like torsocks on a regular distro, you cannot use ping, traceroute, etc.. because it is technically impossible.
Mental-san pumping out vids like crazy recently :o
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.
Kenny needs to add a Dogecoin address to his description, LOL
Hearing about that kind of thing makes me feel pressure to get into that, but I'm not interested in losing all of the money that I don't have, no so short-term investments for me.
@Tf furry Yeah I used to have about 12,000 of them back in 2019, and sold them for $26. If I had them now even at 2 cent, ohhhhhhh man.
@@censoredterminalautism4073 It's shockingly difficult to do because the exchanges need to know every fucking detail about you. I dont really trade much anyway. Ocassionally I will spend $20 or so on some crypto, and double it if im fortunate. It's just playing with pocket money. I dont really care to go deep into the markets or anything
@@hedgeearthridge6807 Yes, and I hate that. I especially despise having to think about the goddamn government whenever I do anything. It's the reason why I don't really want to do anything with money, actually. Makes everything way more complicated than it has to be. It's the main reason why I kinda gave up on investments and business in general. Whenever you buy or sell anything, the government will be there to ruin you with taxation.
It would be bad enough if it was just about the money but the worst part is the increased stress of knowing that they will be there to ruin me if I happen to not know about any tiny detail about their gigantic bureaucracy. My sanity can't handle much of that. And on top of all that there is always the risk of cryptocurrencies being banned or "REGULATED FOR OUR SAFETY". I guess the best investment is to not rely on money so you don't pay taxes, because fuck everyone involved in government, even indirectly.

Anything in the encrypted persistence portion of your USB is in fact saved though. Which you could use a diceware passphrase with 6 completely random words and about 6 symbols so people won’t be able to do anything even if they get access to your USB
Could you explain that from the beginning. I'm learning
@@infotrutherThe USB that Tails is running off of still has the ability to save persistent (permanent) files, even if the files are encrypted/protected. Important to know in case you think it gets wiped every time (like most other live USB sessions by default)
The person also mentions that if they were to use that storage, they'd be using a super-secure password to decrypt the files
Can you make a video of things you consider a must have on a system like Linux Mint? A comfy daily driver and things to install and set up as soon as you get a fresh system? Much love, stay based.

He has a couple videos on customization. Maybe start with making the terminal sesksi
@@tylerdean980 i didnt mean just ricing but like i got a fresh install what programs are like needed, some settings, how to compile and build stuff like the designer browsers he uses and shit like that, how to go from the barebones install to something you can comfortably use.
If you disable javascript you'll loose functionality in most modern websites.
This means having a good ad blocker is the go-to option if you want to use websites that aren't 10+ years old.
It's Tor, it isn't meant to access to the normal internet. Basically, in the deep web most websites look like 2000's sites, and they barely use JS (why would you need it when it only shows CP videos/pics or plain text?).
You clearly never used tor and don't know what it's mostly for. "Browse Privately. Explore Freely." is literally their motto. It's not made JUST to access the deep web, IT CAN be used for that, but it is, ultimately, a browser that access an encrypted open network that routes data through multiple servers while encrypting all the way through, preserving your identity, data and ultimately your privacy, while allowing people from 'strict countries' to access content from the outside.
@@gomescodes5546 So, the 3 "VPN"'s of the browser are always used, even when just accessing normal websites through TOR?
And, btw, don't jump to conclusions: I do use TOR, but not for protecting my privacy in any way, I just access deep web sites occassionally, so never really had the need to inform myself on the security/privacy standards it has for accessing the normal web.
@@hasher9360 You just said Deep Web only has CP and plain text, and that you're a user. Kappa.
While using Tor you're AT LEAST connected through the Onion network. You're never directly connecting to a website, hence your IP and location are never compromised. Because it connects through different "routing" each time.
This is probably the only OS that's worth a review cuz all the others are basically the same.
not true
i dont even know if these are luke's smith videos anymore
In terminal, the black background with green txt is the only way to go!👍🏻
You're a great channel man, thank you for giving attention to all this stuff.
I made a bootable years ago, and I accidentally wiped my entire drive. What really sucked was the drive was reformatted in a way that I couldn’t reinstall windows onto it. Ended up using Ubuntu till I got a new drive, since there was no way to reformat the drive via Ubuntu.
Next time disconnect the drive that you don't want to format
So this is usually a total disconnect issue via software. Likely converted to RAW and had no binding available within Windows for you to know what to do. Device manager & Diskpart are your friends.
My ex partner, who is studying Software engineering, was a fans of tails. They’re not particularly part of the “mentally sane” category of people, so their use of tails was worrisome for me, as they kept it private and I was aware of their fucked up mentality, warped moral perception and not so legal likings.
I feel safe to say that it is a realistically secure distro. XD
I also tried and set it up for myself, but never around to use it.

Hey Kenny, would you ever consider reviewing early versions of Linux Distros?
I wish you would have covered the dot files and persistent wallpapers and such, I haven’t been able to find any good documentation on this.
you can move the mouse in the top-left corner of the screen to get a "favourites" menu
Imagine not having programs in their own individual sandboxed vms.

The i7-4790k is a bad ass CPU, even if it's 22nm.
Kenny is the ultimate Linux ASMR
yeah asmr
As I understand it, Tails can be installed to have persistence, although I could be wrong. I always run Linux from a USB drive and want my changes to be saved. I would also like to be able to easily create a usable clone of my boot USB. Recommendations and suggestions? Thanks.
Those thumbnails are just dooope
Is puppy still a thing? I used to use that too. Thinking of going back to tails.
What will it take to download all youtube videos how much storage will I need? Do you know?

Love to strt linux mint usb live in the college computers. But Amigggooo, TAILs is daam crazy.
How I can start xorg as non-root and why you deleted video about it? I tried to install elogind; not work; chmod 0444 /usr/bin/xinit - not work; how I can do this? on gentoo
Ah, well yes. I do kind of remember the last time I used tails, but only just barely.
As a daily driver for a vm would tails work if i just boot it from vmware and tweak it to how i like. Or is there an easier way to get tight security, without setting everything manually.
would love to see you review Qubes OS
pleaseeeee do a video on Qubes OS if you can
I started this video at 00:00 , 24:00 in turkey, i mean midnight, i have a potato pc and i was watching it while installing tails in vm (i paused video some times to make tails installation faster) and the clock says 24:35 (00:35 for US) and i dont even know wht tail is based on i really need a new pc ;(
it luckily runs on old pcs
tails is based on debian
Hello FBI agent
I watch this video for educational purposes only.
Sure.
15:09 they blocked icmp to block discoveribilty
the unsafe browser is probably just a debugging tool for if tor isnt working or something
Did you try some of the immutable Linux OS yet? NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, openSUSE MicroOS?
Heads is a fully free version of Tails, some of y'all might enjoy that instead.
The important benefit is no systemd, systemd will use google dns if the system dns fails to resolve the domain name
@@edvonrattlehead2135 can't you point the backup dns for systemd to something else like 1.1.1.1 or another dnr or is that hard baked?

Hey Kenny, how about you do a fork of Tails with what you think are good changes to make and call it the Highly Encrypted Anonymous Desktop System?
How bitcoin wallet can run if it wipes oit the data all time, isn't it unsafe to carry bitcoins in usb stick

There is another live only distro called slax.
Hey dude, you all good?
Got a burning question nobody seems to care to want to answer 😭
So I'm looking at some kind of mini form factor pc 'box' to run tails from. Don't need it for anything else really as plan to build a decent mini ITX or even just a powerful android box as it's literal purpose would he just YT, browsing on sites i have accounts etc.
Firstly any advice for decent password creator/manager?
And as for my 'Tails OS' machine, I'm just wondering if you can give me specific details or link me to a laptop/mini pc (NUC style) etc.
There's so much conflicting info on what on board graphics work etc. Id like for either 8 or 12gb ram a 64/128gb SSD and the best value cpu.
Looking at around £300/£350..
So $420/$380.
Even if its used im not fussed. Just so confused. Got my new full fibre connected tomorrow (well today now) so wanna get up and secure ASAP.
Please help a bro out.
Appreciate everything you do my man 👌
Peace
I wonder if torsocks works on tails to use curl through tor.
It does not support Realtek wifi adapter RTL8821CE and I am only able to use Tails using a Ethernet connection.
When it comes to knowledge of Linux, your incompetence is utterly staggering.
Please let the experts perform critical analysis of security based OS's.
3 years later i need to add something. Do not even boot Tails OS anywhere unless your sure that you don't have keylogger installed because Tails can't protect you from keylogger.
I wonder if Tor will ever put uBO on the Tor browser
No.
"Plugins must be restricted"
"Site-specific or filter-based addons such as AdBlock Plus, Request Policy, Ghostery, Priv3, and Sharemenot are to be avoided. We believe that these addons do not add any real privacy to a proper implementation of the above privacy requirements, and that development efforts should be focused on general solutions that prevent tracking by all third parties, rather than a list of specific URLs or hosts.

Qubes OS review when?
Monero might be annonymous while others are pseudonymous, but it's inflationary. For money sake Nano is more akin to physical currency.
I ran Tails off a DVD. Because I do not even trust the USB to not possibly store something.
Are you doing this on an optiplex 9020?
Dude can u make a tut on tor bridge? No proper vid out there
Is there a similar distro which uses the XFCE desktop?
There's also a libre version of Tails without systemd called 'heads' but it's out of development for 3 years.
I would understand if you didn’t want systemd for your daily driver but nitpicking over systemd for a specific use case distro? I wouldn’t be super picky about that
Edit: if there’s a vulnerability with systemd, that’s one exception where systemd should be scrubbed
@@A432Hz Precisely. I was merely pointing out the absurdity of it and probably the reason it never caught on. I thought if there is Tails OS, there must be a Heads OS and surely some dude on the internet has made an OS named exactly that.
