The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails)是基于Debian的自启动光盘或USB发行，其目标是为用户提供完整的因特网匿名功能。该发行装备了一些因特网应用程序，包括网页浏览 器、IRC客户端、邮件mail客户端、即时消息信使，这都以安全为理念进行了预配置，并对网络流量进行了匿名性处理。为达到此目标，Incognito 使用了Tor网络，以使得网络流量很难被追踪。

Changes

Notable user-visible changes include:

  • Security fixes

    • Upgrade the web browser to 24.5.0esr-0+tails1~bpo60+1 (Firefox 24.5.0esr + Iceweasel patches + Torbrowser patches).
    • Upgrade Tor to 0.2.4.21-1+tails1~d60.squeeze+1:
      • Based on 0.2.4.21-1~d60.squeeze+1.
      • Backport the fix for bug #11464 on Tor Project's Trac. It adds client-side blacklists for all Tor directory authority keys that was vulnerable to Heartbleed. This protects clients in case attackers were able to compromise a majority of the authority signing and identity keys.
      </li> </ul> </li>

    • Bugfixes

      • Disable inbound I2P connections. Tails already restricts incoming connections, but this change tells I2P about it.
      • Fix link to the system requirements documentation page in the Tails Upgrader error shown when too little RAM is available.
        • </ul> </li>

      • Minor improvements

        • Upgrade I2P to 0.9.12-2~deb6u+1.
        • Import TorBrowser profile. This was forgotten in Tails 0.23 and even though we didn't explicitly set those preferences in that release they defaulted to the same values. This future-proofs us in case the defaults would ever change.
        • Import new custom version of Tor Launcher:
