Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) is a security-focused, privacy-centric operating system designed to protect users' anonymity and ensure secure internet usage. It is a Debian-based Linux distribution that boots from a USB drive or DVD, leaving no traces on the host computer after use.

One of Tails' standout features is its use of the Tor network, which anonymizes internet traffic by routing it through a series of volunteer-operated servers. This masks users' IP addresses and encrypts their online activities, making it extremely difficult for third parties to trace. All internet connections through Tails are forced to go through Tor, ensuring comprehensive anonymity by default.

Tails also includes robust encryption tools, like OpenPGP for encrypting emails and files, and LUKS for securing storage. Additionally, the operating system runs entirely in RAM, so when it is shut down, all traces of activity disappear, including any browsing history, files, or encryption keys.

Because of its design, Tails is often used by journalists, activists, and anyone who requires privacy in hostile environments. Its dedication to preserving anonymity, combined with easy-to-use encryption tools, makes it a highly reliable OS for users who need top-tier security.
