# Tails ## [[Wikipedia]] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_(operating_system) *Tails, or The Amnesic Incognito Live System, is a security-focused Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at preserving privacy and anonymity.[5] It connects to the Internet exclusively through the anonymity network Tor.[6] The system is designed to be booted as a live DVD or live USB, and leaves no digital footprint on the machine unless explicitly told to do so. It can also be run as a virtual machine, with some additional security risks.[7] The Tor Project provided financial support for its development in the beginnings of the project,[8] and continues to do so alongside numerous corporate and anonymous sponsors.*
