So in this section, I'm going to show you a better method to improve our anonymity and privacy and
to access the Darknet.
We're going to use an operating system designed to protect our anonymity and privacy.
You probably already heard of this.
It's called Thales, and it stands for the incognito, amnesic live operating system.
It's a Linux based operating system.
And what they mean by life is that you install it on a USB stick or on a DVD, and then you can start
it.
You can boot it in any computer you want, regardless of what operating system installed on that computer.
So it doesn't matter if that computer runs Windows, Linux OS X, all you need is your USB stick with
tails on it, you stick it in, you boot from it, and you can use tails from there.
The really cool thing about tails, which is where the Incognito comes from, is the fact that all traffic
sent from it will go through the Tor network.
So not only browsing traffic, not only messaging traffic.
Anything you do on that system or any program you even install on that system will have to use the Tor
network for its traffic.
Therefore, it eliminates the fear or the risks of other programs.
Leaking data tells also never touches the storage of your computer other than the RAM, so it completely
runs using the RAM, which gets cleared once you restart or shut down your computer.
Therefore it leaves no traces on the used computer.
And this is where the word amnesic comes from.
This means that you can use any computer to use tales, and once done, there will be no traces of what
you did on that computer.
So let's say, for argument's sake, you use Thales, which already routes all traffic through the Tor
network, but somehow someone managed to identify where you are and anonymize you.
And they come and they use your computer and they inspect that computer to see what you did on it.
If you turn off that computer, there will be no traces of what you did on that computer.
Not only that, but there will even be no traces of Thales on that computer.
So it will seem as if you did not even run Thales on that computer.
So that's why Thales is really, really cool, because first of all, it's live.
Once we have it installed on a USB stick or on a DVD, we can use it from any computer we want.
Second, it's incognito, so all traffic sent from Thales will always go through the Tor network.
Second, it's incognito, it's private.
So anything we do on a thales system using any program will always go through the Tor network.
And finally it leaves no traces.
So once we turn off that computer, if the computer gets inspected, there will be no traces of what
we did.
And they will even be no traces that tells us even used on that computer.
So throughout this section, we're going to learn how to properly configure tables, install it and
use it to access websites privately and anonymously, and access the darknet.
