But Tails, or any software or operating system, cannot protect you from everything—even if they pretend to. Tails uses the Tor network because it is the strongest and most popular network to protect from surveillance and censorship. Because you always have to adapt your digital security practices to your specific needs and threats, we encourage you to learn more by reading the following guides:.
JPEG and other image files often contain information about where a picture was taken and which camera was used. Office documents often contain information about their author, and the date and time the document was created. To help you clean metadata, Tails includes mat2 , a tool to remove metadata in a wide range of file formats.
Metadata has been used in the past to locate people from pictures they took. If you use Tails sessions for more than one purpose at a time, an adversary could link your different activities together.
For example, if you log into different accounts on the same website in a single Tails session, the website could determine that the accounts are used by the same person. This is because websites can tell when 2 accounts are using the same Tor circuit. To prevent an adversary from linking your activities together while using Tails, restart Tails between different activities.
For example, restart Tails between checking your work email and your whistleblowing email. We are not aware of any such attacks to deanonymize people online who used Tails for different purposes at a time.
If you worry that the files in your Persistent Storage could be used to link your activities together, consider using a different Tails USB stick for each activity. For example, use one Tails USB stick for your activism work and another one for your journalism work. Tor and Tails don't protect you by making you look like any random Internet user, but by making all Tor and Tails users look the same.
It becomes impossible to know who is who among them. They still cannot know what sites you visit. To hide that you connect to Tor, you can use a Tor bridge. The sites that you visit can know that you are using Tor, because the list of exit nodes of the Tor network is public.
Parental controls, Internet service providers, and countries with heavy censorship can identify and block connections to the Tor network that don't use Tor bridges. Tor hides your location from destination servers, but it does not encrypt all your communication. The last relay of a Tor circuit, called the exit node , establishes the actual connection to the destination server. This last step can be unencrypted.
Observe your traffic. Pretend to be the destination server, a technique known as machine-in-the-middle attack MitM. That is why you should pay even more attention to the security warnings in Tor Browser. If you get such a warning, use the New Identity feature of Tor Browser to change exit node. To learn more about what information is available to someone observing the different parts of a Tor circuit, see the interactive graphics at Tor FAQ: Can exit nodes eavesdrop on communications?
Tor exit nodes have been used in the past to collect sensitive information from unencrypted connections. Malicious exit nodes are regularly identified and removed from the Tor network. For an example, see Ars Technica: Security expert used Tor to collect government e-mail passwords.
A powerful adversary, who could analyze the timing and shape of the traffic entering and exiting the Tor network, might be able to deanonymize Tor users. These attacks are called end-to-end correlation attacks, because the attacker has to observe both ends of a Tor circuit at the same time. End-to-end correlation attacks have been studied in research papers, but we don't know of any actual use to deanonymize Tor users.
Tails protects you from viruses and malware on your usual operating system. This is because Tails runs independently from other operating systems. But your Tails might be corrupted if you install from a compromised operating system. To reduce that risk:. Always install Tails from a trusted operating system. For example, download Tails on a computer without viruses or clone Tails from a trusted friend. Do not use your Tails USB stick to transfer files to or from another operating system.
If you worry that your Tails might be corrupted, do a manual upgrade from a trusted operating system. We don't know of any virus able to infect a Tails installation, but one could be created in the future. Your computer might be compromised if its physical components have been altered.
For example, if a keylogger has been physically installed on your computer, your passwords, personal information, and other data typed on your keyboard could be stored and accessed by someone else, even if you are using Tails. Try to keep your computer in a safe location.
Use a password manager to paste saved passwords. This way, you don't have to type passwords that might be visible to people or cameras near you. Use the Screen Keyboard , if you are using a public computer or worry that the computer might have a keylogger. Keyloggers are easy to buy and hide on desktop computers but not on laptops. For an example, see KeeLog: KeyGrabber forensic keylogger getting started.
