Tails staat voor The amnesic incognito live system en is een live Linux-distributie die zich richt op privacy en anonimiteit. Als basis maakt het gebruik van Debian GNU/Linux en het voegt daar een Gnome-omgeving met Tor, Tor Browser, Pidgin, Thunderbird, Electrum, LibreOffice, GPG en KeePassXC aan toe. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we naar deze pagina. Versie 5 is op Debian 11 gebaseerd en onder meer OpenPGP is vervangen door Kleopatra. In versie 5.14 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
New featuresChanges and updates
- Automatic migration to LUKS2 and Argon2id
The cryptographic parameters of LUKS from Tails 5.12 or earlier are weak against a state-sponsored attacker with physical access to your device. To use stronger encryption parameters, Tails 5.14 automatically converts your Persistent Storage to use LUKS2 encryption with Argon2id. Still, we recommend you change the passphrase of your Persistent Storage and other LUKS encrypted volumes unless you use a long passphrase of 5 random words or more. Read our security advisory and upgrade guide.- Full backups from Tails Installer
You can now do a backup of your Persistent Storage from Tails Installer by cloning your Persistent Storage to your backup Tails entirely. You can still use the backup utility to go faster while updating your backup.- Captive portal detection
Tails now detects if you have to sign in to the network using a captive portal if you choose to connect to Tor automatically. The error screen appears more quickly and recommends you try to sign in to the network as the first option.- Incentive to donate from Electrum
Many people use Tails to secure their Bitcoin wallet and donations in Bitcoin are key to the survival of our project, so we integrated a way to donate from Electrum in Tails.Fixed problems
