Tails 5.8

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 5.8

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

New Persistent Storage

After 2 years of hard work, we are extremely proud to present you a complete redesign of the Persistent Storage.

The Persistent Storage hasn’t changed much since its first release in 2012 because the code was hard to modify and improve. But, we learned from users that the Persistent Storage could do a lot more for you if it had more features and was easier to use.

• You don’t have to restart anymore after creating the Persistent Storage or each time you activate a new feature.
• You can change the password of your Persistent Storage from this new application.
• You can choose to create a Persistent Storage directly from the Welcome Screen, if you don’t have one already.

Wayland and better Unsafe Browser

We replaced the deprecated X.Org display system with Wayland.

Even if you won’t notice any visual difference, Wayland brings more security in depth to Tails by making it harder for a compromised application in Tails to compromise or misuse another application.

For example, since Tails 4.8, the Unsafe Browser was disabled by default because a security vulnerability in another application in Tails could start an invisible Unsafe Browser, reveal your IP address, and deanonymize you.

Wayland fixes this vulnerability and makes it safe to reenable the Unsafe Browser by default. You can still disable the Unsafe Browser in the Welcome Screen.

Wayland also brings in other features that were not working yet in the Unsafe Browser:

• Sound
• Uploads and downloads
• Alternative input methods for Chinese and other non-Latin languages
• Accessibility features like the screen reader and virtual keyboard

QR code scanning of Tor bridges

We made it easier to enter new Tor bridges in Tails by scanning a QR code.

To get a QR code, you can either:

• Send an empty email to [email protected] from a Gmail or Riseup email address.
• Get bridges from https://bridges.torproject.org/ and print the QR code on paper.

We are aware that the QR codes that are currently provided are too big to be easy to scan. We are working with Tor to make them smaller and easier to scan.
