Title: TAILS
Post by: JeffBobb on May 21, 2013, 04:53 am

So - I've been seeing something here and there about TAILS.  What is TAILS, exactly?  And, as a new vendor on SR, do I need this?  Please, just be brief - I can figure it out myself if it's something I determine that I NEED on here.

It's an operating system you can store on a USB and when you start your computer it boots from this. It is used because it leaves no traces on the hard drive of your computer. Normally if you delete stuff from your computer it never really disappears so this stuff can be retrieved if your computer were seized. But using Tails when you close down your computer anything you used this OS for is gone forever.

So are you saying that I could even put TOR on the flash drive??  And how much does this TAILS cost, and where do I get it from?  Would you recommend for a Vendor acct??

As a vendor, you absolutely should be using TAILS! Here's a very simple tutorial with everything you need to know:
