The Amnesic Incognito Live System

Tails è una distribuzione Linux live basata su Debian e Gnome che ha l’obbiettivo di garantire la privacy e l’anonimato in rete. Questo viene raggiunto tramite l’utilizzo di Tor per tutte le connessioni uscenti e i dati non vengono salvati su disco (tranne se abilitato).

Versione 1.1

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

• Rebase on Debian Wheezy
  • Upgrade literally thousands of packages.
  • Migrate to GNOME3 fallback mode.
  • Install LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice.
• Major new features
  • UEFI boot support, which should make Tails boot on modern hardware and Mac computers.
  • Replace the Windows XP camouflage with a Windows 8 camouflage.
  • Bring back VirtualBox guest modules, installed from Wheezy backports. Full functionality is only available when using the 32-bit kernel.
• Security fixes
  • Fix write access to boot medium via udisks (ticket #6172).
  • Upgrade the web browser to 24.7.0esr-0+tails1~bpo70+1 (Firefox 24.7.0esr + Iceweasel patches + Torbrowser patches).
  • Upgrade to Linux 3.14.12-1 (fixes CVE-2014-4699).
  • Make persistent file permissions safer (ticket #7443).
• Bugfixes
  • Fix quick search in Tails Greeter’s Other languages window (Closes: ticket #5387)
• Minor improvements
  • Don’t install Gobby 0.4 anymore. Gobby 0.5 has been available in Debian since Squeeze, now is a good time to drop the obsolete 0.4 implementation.
  • Require a bit less free memory before checking for upgrades with Tails Upgrader. The general goal is to avoid displaying “Not enough memory available to check for upgrades” too often due to over-cautious memory requirements checked in the wrapper.
  • Whisperback now sanitizes attached logs better with respect to DMI data, IPv6 addresses, and serial numbers (ticket #6797, ticket #6798, ticket #6804).
  • Install the BookletImposer PDF imposition toolkit.

Conclusioni

Tail non funziona su QEMU 0.11.1 e VirtualBox 4.2 (bisogna aggiornare l’ambiente di emulazione per risolvere il problema)
