1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:10,000 So now that we have Thales installed on a USB stick we can use this USB stick to boot into tales from 2 00:00:10,060 --> 00:00:17,110 any computer regardless of what operating system that computer runs whether it runs Windows Linux or 3 00:00:17,110 --> 00:00:18,030 OS X. 4 00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:19,740 It doesn't really matter. 5 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:27,070 All we'll have to do is connect the US b device that we installed tells to to the computer that we want 6 00:00:27,070 --> 00:00:35,380 to run tells on start the computer or restarted if it's already running then as it starts before it 7 00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:41,340 even gets into the loading page of Windows or OS X as soon as it starts. 8 00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:43,960 You want to enter the booth menu. 9 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,070 Now this varies depending on the computer that you have. 10 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:54,250 So you'll have to press a button or maybe a combination of buttons and order to enter the booth menu 11 00:00:54,580 --> 00:00:59,250 and this will differ depending on your computer. 12 00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:05,800 So here I have a list of the most common brands and the corresponding keys that will allow you to enter 13 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,060 the booth menu. 14 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:13,250 For example if you have an Acer you should try to press escape after twelve or nine. 15 00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:17,910 So what you do is you connect your USP device to the computer. 16 00:01:18,190 --> 00:01:22,130 You start the computer or restarted if it's already running. 17 00:01:22,270 --> 00:01:30,100 Then keep pressing the escape button multiple times until you see a booth menu like this one or similar 18 00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:31,460 to this one. 19 00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:37,600 If you don't see it if you put into the default operating system that your computer usually boots and 20 00:01:38,110 --> 00:01:45,900 then you should restart and try the next option in the list if you tried all of the options and it still 21 00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:46,740 doesn't work. 22 00:01:46,830 --> 00:01:52,820 Then check out the links and the resources of this lecture on more info on how to put in two tables. 23 00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:58,980 And if you can't find any help then ask us in the Q and A section and we'll respond to you within 15 24 00:01:58,980 --> 00:02:00,140 hours. 25 00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:06,870 Once you enter the booth menu you can select the option that will allow you to Booth from a US B or 26 00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:15,060 an external storage hit enter and you'll see the tables Booth menu as you can see in here. 27 00:02:15,420 --> 00:02:19,400 You want to keep this at the first option and hit enter. 28 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,570 This will start booting Tales from the US b device that you connected. 29 00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:28,730 So give it some time to start the operating system for you perfect. 30 00:02:28,730 --> 00:02:32,260 So as you can see we have the welcome window of tails. 31 00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:37,430 And if you want to start straight away all you have to do is just click on Start tails. 32 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,380 But before doing that let's take a quick look on the options that we can modify in here. 33 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:50,200 So first of all you can modify the language which is set to English United States by default. 34 00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:52,510 And I'm going to keep it that way. 35 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:54,980 The keyboard is also set to English US. 36 00:02:55,010 --> 00:03:00,440 Now you might you might want to modify this if you have a different layout but I think it's a good idea 37 00:03:00,470 --> 00:03:05,090 to keep it at the default settings because that'll give even less info. 38 00:03:05,090 --> 00:03:11,290 Now I know I said that tells won't leave any traces but I just like to keep things to the default. 39 00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:14,760 And here again we have the calendar format. 40 00:03:14,810 --> 00:03:20,990 I'm going to keep that to the default and at the bottom here we have additional settings or advanced 41 00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:22,260 settings. 42 00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:26,380 So I'm going to click on the plus to show you the settings that you can set here. 43 00:03:26,570 --> 00:03:31,310 And the first thing that you can set is an administration password. 44 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,790 So why default tails disables the admin account. 45 00:03:35,790 --> 00:03:37,980 So as you can see it's set to off. 46 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,070 So when you go and use the operating system there will be no admin. 47 00:03:43,250 --> 00:03:49,820 The reason it's configured this way so that if someone manages to hack into your system they won't have 48 00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:56,360 admin permissions so they won't be able to change core functions or core settings within the operating 49 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,110 system. 50 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,360 And they also want to be able to install any applications. 51 00:04:01,850 --> 00:04:08,270 If for some reason you needed to modify something that requires admin settings or if you wanted to install 52 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,760 programs on the system then you can enable the admin account from here. 53 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:21,030 You can click on this and you set a password Europe Pete the password and click on add to add it. 54 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,700 Keep in mind that this account will only be added for this current session. 55 00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:32,060 Once you restart the computer the admin account will disappears along with all the modifications that 56 00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:33,210 you make to Tales. 57 00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:40,280 Because like we said Thales is alive amnesiac operating system that completely wipes everything that 58 00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,420 you do every time you restart the computer. 59 00:04:43,460 --> 00:04:49,640 So when you create an admin account in here and log in this admin account will disappear and will not 60 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,660 even exist. 61 00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:52,400 Once you restart the computer. 62 00:04:52,430 --> 00:04:57,860 So if you want to use an admin account again the next time you use the system you're going to have to 63 00:04:57,860 --> 00:05:00,100 come to this menu and create it. 64 00:05:00,710 --> 00:05:06,230 But for now I don't really want to do anything that requires admin privileges and I don't want to install 65 00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:07,300 any programs. 66 00:05:07,460 --> 00:05:13,590 So I'm going to click on back and I'm going to keep this to of the next setting that you might want 67 00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:16,220 to modify is the max spoofing. 68 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,940 And as you can see this is set to on by default. 69 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:30,650 Now mac address is a unique and permanent address that is assigned to every network device. 70 00:05:30,750 --> 00:05:36,120 It gets assigned to it at the time the device is manufactured and it never changes. 71 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:43,020 So for example if I have an Internet card or a WI-FI card and unplug it from my computer and connected 72 00:05:43,020 --> 00:05:49,010 to a completely different computer that card will still have the same MAC address. 73 00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:52,390 Now this MAC address is only visible within your network. 74 00:05:52,410 --> 00:05:59,520 It's not visible on the Internet as we know tails automatically routs all Internet traffic through Tor. 75 00:05:59,550 --> 00:06:03,420 So we're not really concerned about stuff that happens on the Internet. 76 00:06:03,420 --> 00:06:10,300 It should hide our identity automatically but within the network the MAC address is visible. 77 00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:12,810 And the MAC address is unique and permanent. 78 00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:18,300 Like I said and therefore it can be used to identify you. 79 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:23,170 So this option by default is set to on and I'm going to keep it too on. 80 00:06:23,190 --> 00:06:28,480 So that tells will also change my mac address every time I started. 81 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,920 Therefore my mac address will be changed so I'll be hidden or anonymous within the network. 82 00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:40,050 And when I connect to the Internet all the traffic will automatically go through the terror network 83 00:06:40,290 --> 00:06:43,900 and therefore it'll improve my anonymity. 84 00:06:43,950 --> 00:06:52,110 The only time you might want to set this to off is if the network that you're connecting to uses a whitelist 85 00:06:52,290 --> 00:06:56,880 so if it's only allows specific MAC addresses to connect to it. 86 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:03,540 And if your MAC address is one of these waitlisted MAC addresses that's the only time that you might 87 00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:05,180 want to set this to off. 88 00:07:05,190 --> 00:07:12,420 Otherwise it's better to keep it at on so your identity is hidden within your network. 89 00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:17,820 Now the third option here the network connection and this is set to direct the default. 90 00:07:17,820 --> 00:07:24,060 Like I said This means that all traffic sent from any application on tails will have to go through the 91 00:07:24,060 --> 00:07:24,840 Tor network. 92 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,500 So this is perfect. 93 00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:31,150 What if we click on it you'll also see we have two other options. 94 00:07:31,170 --> 00:07:35,130 The second option is to configure a tower bridge or a proxy. 95 00:07:35,130 --> 00:07:41,400 And we already discussed what bridges plugin will transports and proxies are previously in the course 96 00:07:41,610 --> 00:07:46,170 we discussed how to get them and why you might want to use them. 97 00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:50,410 So I'm not going to really talk about it right now if you don't remember what they are. 98 00:07:50,430 --> 00:07:53,370 Please go back and revise the previous section. 99 00:07:54,150 --> 00:08:01,020 I will however show you how to use a bridge or applicable transport with tales because we only covered 100 00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:03,150 how to do it with tor browser. 101 00:08:03,210 --> 00:08:07,740 So I'll show you how to do this with tails in a future lecture. 102 00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:13,950 For now we're keeping this to the default obviously the third option here will disable all networking. 103 00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,360 We don't want to this right now. 104 00:08:15,570 --> 00:08:21,210 So we're keeping everything here to the default and I'm going to click on cancel and we're back to the 105 00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:28,830 welcome menu in which we can just shut down or start tells so now that we're happy with all of the settings. 106 00:08:28,860 --> 00:08:36,590 I'm going to click on Start tails to start the operating system and perfect as you can see we get a 107 00:08:36,710 --> 00:08:39,210 nice and simple desktop. 108 00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:45,170 I know it might look strange to you especially if you're used to Windows but don't worry it's actually 109 00:08:45,170 --> 00:08:51,710 very simple to use and it's very similar to a lot of operating systems even though it looks a little 110 00:08:51,710 --> 00:08:53,160 bit different. 111 00:08:53,390 --> 00:08:59,210 And the next lecture will have a basic overview on this operating system its menus how to use it how 112 00:08:59,210 --> 00:09:03,440 to interact with it just so that we get more comfortable with using it.
