176 called Tails, which is a operating system that runs on either USB stick or SD
177 disc, that is a sort of all-in-one encryption tool that you can use for PGP

186 by Trevor Timm:
187 - Laura Poitras says: "I've been reluctant to go into details about
188 the different steps I took to communicate securely with Snowden to
189 avoid those methods being targeted. Now that Tails gives a green
190 light, I can say it has been an essential tool for reporting the
191 NSA story. It is an all-in-one secure digital communication system
192 (GPG email, OTR chat, Tor web browser, encrypted storage) that is
193 small enough to swallow. I'm very thankful to the Tails developers
194 for building this tool."
195 - Glenn Greenwald says: "Tails have been vital to my ability to work
196 securely on the NSA story. The more I've come to learn about
197 communications security, the more central Tails has become to
198 my approach."
199 - Barton Gellman says: "Privacy and encryption work, but it's too
200 easy to make a mistake that exposes you. Tails puts the essential
201 tools in one place, with a design that makes it hard to screw them
202 up. I could not have talked to Edward Snowden without this kind of
203 protection. I wish I'd had it years ago."

253 Trevor Timm from Freedom of the Press Foundation explains that Tails « has
254 been vital for most, if not all, of the NSA journalists. [...] Its prime use
255 case is journalists trying to communicate or work in environments in which
256 they may normally be at risk or compromised. The NSA stories have been the
257 biggest story in journalism in the past decade, yet the tool the reporters
258 rely on is incredibly underfunded, is maintained by only a handful of
259 developers, and operates on a shoestring budget. »
260 * 2014-02-07: In his review of [uVirtus](http://uvirtus.org), Kheops, from
261 Telecomix concludes that « Users should prefer Tails and other mature secure
262 live distributions (such as IprediaOS, Liberté Linux, Privatix and Whonix)
263 over uVirtus since they provide a real safety improvement to the user. For any
264 activity that does not entail transferring large quantities of data (such as

282 * 2013-12: Bruce Schneier
283 [answered](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1r8ibh/iama_security_technologist_and_author_bruce/cdknf7a)
284 to someone asking him what Linux distribution is its favorite: "I don't
285 use Linux. (Shhh. Don't tell anyone.) Although I have started using Tails".
286 * 2013-12-30: Jacob Appelbaum stated at the [Chaos Communication
287 Congress](https://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5713.html):
288 "if you are a journalist and you are not using Tails, you should
289 probably be using Tails, unless you *really* know what
290 you're doing".

292 Schneier](http://boingboing.net/2013/12/15/bruce-schneier-and-eben-moglen-2.html),
293 as part of the "Snowden, the NSA and free software" cycle at
294 Columbia Law School NYC, Bruce Schneier says:
295 - "I think most of the public domain privacy tools are going to be
296 safe, yes. I think GPG is going to be safe. I think OTR is going
297 to be safe. I think that Tails is going to be safe. I do think
298 that these systems, because they were not -- you know, the NSA has
299 a big lever when a tool is written closed-source by a for-profit
300 corporation. There are levers they have that they don't have in
301 the open source international, altruistic community. And these are
302 generally written by crypto-paranoids, they're pretty well
303 designed. We make mistakes, but we find them and we correct them,
304 and we're getting good at that. I think that if the NSA is going
305 after these tools, they're going after implementations."
306 - "What do I trust? I trust, I trust Tails, I trust GPG [...]"
307 - "We can make it harder, we can make it more expensive, we can make
308 it more risky. And yes, every time we do something to increase one
309 of those, we're making ourselves safer. [...] There are tools we
310 are deploying in countries all over the world, that are keeping
311 people alive. Tor is one of them. I mean, Tor saves lives. [...]
312 And every time you use Tor [...] provides cover for everyone else
313 who uses Tor [...]"
314 * 2013-11-12: In its review "[Which Linux distro is best for protecting your
315 privacy?](http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/which-linux-distro-is-best-for-protecting-your-privacy--1192771)",
316 techrada.com prefers Tails over 4 other distributions: "The main advantages of
317 Tails are its readiness for USB installation and the complete nature of its
318 desktop and its documentation. The Tails system menu also contains enough
319 applications to make you do almost everything you may need without rebooting.
320 The documentation, while not interesting as the one for Whonix, is more than
321 adequate to help even Linux beginners. Yay for Tails, then!"
322 * 2013-11: The German-speaking ADMIN magazine [reviews
323 Tails](http://www.admin-magazin.de/Das-Heft/2013/11/Tails-0.20).

330 * 2013-10-15: [CRYPTO-GRAM, October 15, 2013](http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-1310.html)
331 Bruce Schneier: "One thing I didn't do, although it's worth considering, is
332 use a stateless operating system like Tails. You can configure Tails with a
333 persistent volume to save your data, but no operating system changes are ever
334 saved. Booting Tails from a read-only DVD -- you can keep your data on an
335 encrypted USB stick -- is even more secure. Of course, this is not foolproof,
336 but it greatly reduces the potential avenues for attack."

363 anonymity and is easier to use than the Tor Browser bundle."
