Tails 6.14.2 behebt zwei Sicherheitslücken!
Was ist Tails!
Tails ist ein auf Debian basierendes Live-Betriebssystem, das speziell für den Datenschutz und die Anonymität im Internet entwickelt wurde. Es wird von einem USB-Stick oder einer DVD gestartet und hinterlässt keine Spuren auf dem verwendeten Computer, da es im Arbeitsspeicher läuft und beim Herunterfahren alle Daten verwirft.

｢ One of the standout changes in Tails 6.14.1 is its improved confinement technology for the Tor Browser. Formerly, users were confined to saving and reading files from only a narrow selection of folders. With this update, individuals can now freely access any folder in their Home directory or Persistent Storage from the Tor Browser ｣

Nouvelle mouture pour la distribution Linux centrée sur la sécurité et la vie privée. Une version 6.14.1 qui peut surprendre, car la 6.14 n’a pas été publiée. L’équipe de développement s’en explique dans un billet, indiquant qu’un problème important a été découvert à la dernière minute, nécessitant un correctif.
Tails 6.14.1 se distingue surtout par un changement notable dans le navigateur Tor Browser.

Using a #VM is great if you want to try out a new system, but its security can only be as good as the computer it's running on.
So when you see me use a VM, I expect that my #privacy and #security are only as good as the weakest link.
#Tails was the strongest link in this video:

@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii
Granted, @tails_live @tails / #Tails and @torproject / #TorBrowser are propably one of the best & most battle-tested options that are useable for #TechIlliterates...
- OFC #OpenBSD + #LynxBrowser forced through #Tor would be more #secure (on paper) but we can all agree it's neither feasible nor practical to expect "#Normies" to work within a 80x25 TUI and learn #BSD.
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
If not for being absurd then for the fact that people need to get things done!
- And it's not as if I haven't taught people how to get started, ranging from having to crash-course someone remotely via chat to hand-on #CryptoParty sessions: If it's way more complex than an AKM chances are people won't stick with it!
So you can imagine how glad I was when @thunderbird merged #Enigmail into #Thunderbird so there's no more fiddling around getting #PGP/MIME to work!
@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii
But I also consider why @torproject hasn't done so:
- Because they'd rather focus on the few projects they can maintain at their staffing and budget than become the next "Apache Foundation" piling up #Abandonware.
And lets be honest @tails_live / @tails / #Tails is way more important to maintain as with #TorBrowser, literally human lives depend on it!
@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Exactly...
Coincidentially, that's why #Android (and #iOS) doesn't let users have #root access because billions of devices owned by mostly "#TechIlliterates" that hardly get #SecurityUpdates would be an even bigger risk if they didn't boot a locked-down #ROM image, thus only allowing for #malware in user-privilegued userspace!
- I'd even go so far that I'd wish for @torproject to basically merge fmr. #FirefoxOS / #KaiOS & @tails_live / @tails / #Tails to build a #privacy-focussed #ROM for #Smartphones and #Tablets i.e. "#TailsMobile" or sth.
Cuz having a mobile OS that shoves everything through #Tor and only allows #userspace-Apps in the form modern web technologies would be a big #security and #privacy gain.
#tails 6.14.1 released, with good news:
>## More flexible confinement of _Tor Browser_
>
>We improved the confinement technology that we use to protect your files from
possible security vulnerabilities in _Tor Browser_.
>
>Until now, _Tor Browser_ could only save downloads to and read files from a
limited number of folders.
>
>With Tails 6.14.1, you can safely access any folder in your _Home_ folder or
Persistent Storage from _Tor Browser_.
I always found the whole "you gotta put stuff in 'Tor Browser' or 'Tor Browser (Persistent)' before the browser can see it" to be an annoying part of using tails. Curious to see how much difference I'll notice being able to have the browser go straight to the files I want to without that extra song-and-dance.
