If David talk about it, it means the FEDS made it

I’ve used Tails for years. Something worth knowing is this: if you’re going to be downloading large files, the system will go to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity. If it goes to sleep, your download will pause or fail. Make sure you right-click on the desktop, select SETTINGS, POWER, and set screen sleep time to something longer than 5 minutes. I just set my sleep to NEVER. You’ll have to do this every time you boot into Tails because it always boots to default values.

@@alokarpan822you can use your mobile phone wired as a hotspot, e.g android USB tethering. Unfortunately if Tails doesn’t recognize your wifi adapter by default, it’s almost impossible to make it work (install drivers etc). This is the most inconvenient thing in Tails as I think.

Tails extends Tor's anonymity to the ENTIRE system, keeping it encapsulated all along.

A video on the update process could be helpful for the folks. You have a good way at explaining these things. I sure wish I had a video when I did my 1st update. I was very nervous about messing up my persistent storage.

Always a good content. Thanks, David.

Thanks for making an update to the old video!

I wish there was a digital version of that book, it's a massive one and the cost of importing it into my country is triple the actual book :( Also great intro to Tails, straight to the point :)

I'm happy to hear about this. It is essential

i was just waiting for you to do a video about tails, and you have kill it. i have being inspire by your videos

I have updated recently my tails and I wonder if you could create a video with more details about the usage of it plesae? I love your work keep doing it!

😄love how you decided to demonstrate some implications with tails using your "own" channel as a reference, hehehe. Clever man ;-)

love this!!! thank you!

Downloaded and installed as suggested. My win11 machine eventually gets to the three dots, then nothing then hangs. Not sure if it is my thumbdrive (kingston 64Gb)/ Excellent video David, just having a bad day installing Tails for now. I changed USB slots on the PC, now I will reformat the drive and shoot for another install.

Best Channel !

Amazing content. What would you suggest for a beginner to get the certification training from in the UK for online courses and classroom learning in London, where can I get trained for cybersecurity?

Brilliant!

Note that if the USB had a previous iso file and the first flash fails, you can always reflash again. Probably leftover bits from the previous iso file caused the first error

Nice one David!

Hey David ! I’m new entering the tech world as well as cyber security, what are some books that would be beneficial to my learning ?

Same here. I was a nursing major before; this is a much better fit for me.

Good and straight to the point! Questions - is the speed of the USB stick relevant, or does everything just load into RAM? Also, perhaps a comparison between TAILS vs Qubes. I understand how TAILS is used - run from USB. Because both Qubes and TAILS "disappear" when shut down and rebooted - effectively new virtual machines - then both should be quite safe. Are they just different ways of doing things, or are there different scenarios when one is superior over another. Thanks!

Not sure about tails, but lots of experience booting other Linux distros from USB.... The flashing speed and boot speed are definitely affected by speed of usb drive, so I usually use a 3.0 USB (what the SS/blue port on PC is designed for). However, once loaded into ram, I don't believe it makes much difference. I'm only about 60% sure of this though, as I don't own any 2.0 USBs. Hope this helps....

Great video. Is a must to use Etcher, or can one use Rufus instead?

It's a good idea to install this on a HDD with persistent storage option?

Can you update the OS when connected or do you have to redo the USB every now and then?

Tails is good, I'll grant you that, but it depends upon Tor, which is only as good as the last node (and user actions)

Been a while since I tried tor, but every time I have tried it it was so slow it was frustrating. It's like dial-up, but slower.

I’ve been watching this project since it’s inception and I use every chance it can 😎

Apart from the default tor browser, Whats the benefit of using Tails over for instance kali live from usb?

I have a couple of questions, can tails and kali Linux be installed on SATA hard drives in USB enclosures, I have them. Second can you make a USB bootable windows ?

great tutorial! Question: Do you enable SECURE BOOT when you are NOT using TAILS?

David,You are "AWESOME"!!!Not just because your one of the greatest pintesters but because "YOUR SMEGIN ENGLISH"!!! Benny Hill was English.❤❤❤

Thank you. ❤

Is Tails used for browsing the web only? can I install or run any programs on it? Is it a Linux based OS? That wasn't mentioned in the video.

I have been using tails os in a usb for a while, Do you know a way to speed up the net after bringing through tor? It's pretty slow use actually.

Thanks sir 👑

Merci beaucoup!

great video

Duck Duck is no more "privacy-oriented" in practice than anything else. They market privacy and deliver - Google.

i Appreciate all the content you provide us David but Tails doesn't works for M1 and M2 mac's, please kindly provide us a solution for this David, that would realy helps people like me !!

Cool bios

Good video.

Nice content, David! Make the same video with Black Arch and Pentoo with persistence mode.

Does the persistent storage hold onto pgp keys/keyring as well?

Except for exit node attacks and RCE.. Firefox exploits aren't uncommon a new bug for one shows up in JS engine every couple weeks

As a Mac user thank you

Mr David one question Kali Linux USB support monitor mode and packet injection does ?

What if you can't change the secure boot in the BIOS to allow changing the boot order?

what computer do you use and how much memory and ram does it have

Naomi will love this video

I hope that one day you will make a video on how to connect to the internet if you go on a trip to a HOTEL for example and you go with your PC or simply with your cell phone and you want to safely see your email, social media or buy a ticket

This you just need a proxy or a VPN. Browsing your social media or any site that requires authentication/logins DEFEATS the purpose of Tor and Tails.

Hey can make a vid about card cloning there’s this small device it’s a square and connects to your phone n u can make clones instantly from a tiny device n it’s insane how easy it is

I’m not sure about Tor anymore due to the recognition of a significant amount malicious nodes (e.g. kax17). I do like the ephemeralness of tails though.

I have questions. About Bridges, they give them to you via Gmail. How do we know, that Bridges could be intercepted? And if we find some USB with Tails with strong Password, how could be cracked?

Do you have any videos or are you review deeper network?

Can you perhaps do a video on disk management. Encryption , sanitizing a disk so no data can be recovered. The main one is sanitizing a disk empty space only, say you deleted stuff and now want to clear that space only ,instead of a new installation with software and all that extra trouble

Even though Snowden uses it or did use it Tails has always had a bad reputation among white hats due to the persistent rumors of a back door forced on them by the NSA. I personally believe this to be true and therefore avoid it. A decent VPN and mac address spoofer will provide the same level of anonymity if your just looking for private browsing.
