Pros and Cons of Tails

Okay, so I've tried out Tails, and have come to a conclusion with it. (on the look, feel, and comprehensiveness of it) This Pro-Con article will be slightly different form my previous ones and geared more toward the software it contains, as I am not comparing Tails to anything. This is not a hacking/pentesting distribution. It as an anonymization distro meant for people who wish to stay completely anonymous while browsing the web. This OS is meant to be ran live on a Flash drive with persistence. You cannot (should not) install it as a dual boot or primary OS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pros:

1.) Can start browsing anonymously right out of the box

2.) Gives you a safe place to store your passwords

3.) Packaged with the TOR Browser Bundle

4.) Packaged with the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet for your BC needs while browsing the darknet anonymously

5.) Packaged with Pidgin IM

6.) Packaged with Gobby Collab. Editor

8.) Packaged with LibreOffice

10) Packaged with Poedit

11) Various media applications

12) Packaged with a tool dubbed MAT (Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit) You give it a picture via GUI and it will strip the metadata for you.

13) Packaged with the OpenPGP encryption applet (you will find the applet in the upper right-hand corner next to your battery monitor)

14) Very very very easy to use. (a small child could figure it out)

Cons:

1.) Must be used as a live boot OS

2.) A flash drive could be easily misplaced

3.) Can't really think of any others.

WARNINGSDO NOT, by any means enable FLASH or JAVA because those add ons are VERY vulnerable to revealing your true identity!!!

All in all,

Next up: You decide!

Later: You decide!

After: You decide! (suggestions please :D )

To do list:

1.) C.I.A Kali

Reason not done: Download continues to get corrupted. (unreliable connection to the internet)

NOTE You all must give me suggestions! :) I can't know what you want without you telling me.

Also, sorry for the delay on this Pro-con article. I was busy with IRL things. :D
