The release of the specialized Tails 4.19 distribution (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) has been finalized, based on the Debian package base and designed to ensure anonymous internet access. Anonymous access in Tails is provided by the Tor system. All connections except traffic through the Tor network are blocked by the packet filter by default. User data storage in the persistence mode is encrypted. An ISO image has been prepared that can operate in Live mode, with a size of 1 GB.
In the new release, the binding to the Tails website during automatic updates has been removed TLS certificate to prevent issues with the delivery of automatic updates (due to this binding, the delivery of automatic updates has been interrupted twice; the integrity check of the update via the OpenPGP key is sufficient). Updated versions of Tor Browser 10.0.17 and Thunderbird 78.10.0 have been released. Added visual indication for entering the administrator password in sudo (e.g., "[sudo] password for user: ********").
At the same time, a new version of Tor Browser 10.0.17 has been released, focused on ensuring anonymity, security, and privacy. This release is synchronized with the Firefox 78.11.0 ESR codebase, which fixed 6 vulnerabilities. Updated versions of NoScript 11.2.8, HTTPS Everywhere 2021.4.15, and Tor 0.4.5.8 have been released. The Tor Browser release for Android is delayed until next week.
