release of a specialized distribution (The Amnesic Incognito Live System), based on the Debian package base and designed to provide anonymous access to the network. Anonymous exit to Tails is provided by the Tor system. All connections, except traffic through the Tor network, are blocked by default by the packet filter. Encryption is used to store user data in the save user data between runs mode. Ready for download , capable of working in Live mode, 1 GB in size.
New release of Tails disables browser launch by default , which allows direct connection bypassing Tor, which is used to connect through captive portals of public wireless networks. Since the thoughtless use of Unsafe Browser user deanonymization (for example, after exploiting a vulnerability in Thunderbird, an attacker can launch Unsafe Browser and reveal the real IP), by default, only Tor Browser is now allowed in the distribution, and a special option is required in the settings to use Unsafe Browser.
Tails 4.8 also includes a significant redesign of the Welcome Screen to ensure settings persist across restarts. This feature is currently limited to a setting to allow Unsafe Browser to run, but more options will be available in a future release. Linux kernel versions 5.6, Tor Browser 9.5.1, Thunderbird 68.8.0, gnutls 3.6.7-4, tor 0.4.3.5, intel-microcode 3.20200609.2, LibreOffice 6.1.5-3.
Simultaneously a new version of Tor Browser 9.5.1, focused on anonymity, security and privacy. The release is in sync with the Firefox 68.10.0 ESR codebase, which has several vulnerabilities, the details of which are still undisclosed. NoScript add-on updated to release .
