I enjoy using this OS for legitimate and mundane purposes 👍

Thank god im schizotypical and not schizophrenic

as someone who carries a live USB on my keyring for totally legit and mundane reasons, thanks.

Watching Mental Outlaw videos definitely increases your chance of being put on a list tbh 😅

Tails OS > Sonic OS

Finally. Gimmie some of that SchizOS

The FBI will stage a fight behind your back in the public library you are using TailsOS and then grab your laptop before you can turn it off.

A genuine, aboveboard use for Tails is to store an airgapped master GPG key. 99% of the use of your keypair is mundane stuff like encryption and SSH auth. The remaining 1%, stuff like generating revocation certificates, signing new keys, etc. is extremely dangerous in the wrong hands: if an adversary gets this power, not only can he decrypt your past messages and impersonate you, he can generate a new key, sign it, and issue a new revocation cert---carring on all your previous correspondence with the new key, without you even able to see what he's doing. So, people have thought: what if we separate the functionality, and only access the spooky stuff in a hyper-secure, airgapped (preferrably Faraday-caged), schizophrenic environment? This is exactly what people do, using the encrypted persistent filesystem of Tails to store a master key, from which mundane subkeys can be exported (offline, via a storage medium) to a less secure working environment. Tails goes to great lengths to ensure that data in memory doesn't persist after shutdown, which is exactly what you want here. I'm working with this setup, except with another LiveUSB distro since I trust the relatively-less-audited distro more than the Intel Management Engine.

where was this video WHEN I COMMITED ALL THOSE CRIMES?!?!?

The best way I've heard tailsOS described as a daily driver is it's like being a digitally homeless H-1B1

I am the exact opposite at this point. All the devices I own record all inputs from every sensor anyways for “UI experience” or something.

I'll never forget watching the bodycam footage of one of two detectives unplugging the live USB on a system they were investigating, which was originally active. Part of me thinks that they knew exactly what they were doing lol.

if you're watching this video you're on a list

Also, ALWAYS use Bridged mode inside Tor Browser, this way your ISP won't know that you're connecting to the Onion services, since the Bridged mode is supposed to bypass any restrictions in countries where Tor is banned. Even if it's not banned inside your country, always use it.

I'm convinced that world is going insane when "ultra paranoid" is the only mode/level with decent privacy online.

privacy advocate: "I'm going to look at and review Tails to see how well it blocks ScAmazon cookies" glowies: "OMG HE CLICKED THE HOMEPAGE! HE CLICKED THE HOMEPAGE!"

is it paranoia or is it justified defensiveness lol

A perfect os for looking at carrot cake recipes 😃

ah yes, just in time, a good mental outlaw video to watch while eating instant noodles after class

According to Wikipedia, even SEARCHING for TAILS puts you on a 3LA list. So I assume we all are on a list for watching this.

watched 10 min of this for pure entertainment purposes even though i will continue to be tracked on my arch machine that is signed into google. we can’t win them all

Yoooo thanks for the tutorial! Surprised I got here this early lol. Since i know youll see this lemme just say appreciate the videos you put out! Using your platform to raise privacy awareness (and gawk at the transgressions against it) is truly a noble cause.

I love videos titles on this channel that talk about "the ULTRA Paranoid". What's that famous saying, "Just because you're paranoids doesn't mean they aren't out to get you". Enough said.

Mental outlaw finally dropping another tutorial is what we’ve all been waiting for.

Warning: don't forget about Intel ME. All computers are backdoored, so don't do anything turbo illegal on your own hardware

Based on the videos you are making, you are definitely on the list bro!

ONLY true OG’s know that cia glowing in the background. We miss you Terry…

Something I'd like to see in Tails is adding an option for the encrypted persistent storage is an easy ability to add a doomsday password alongside the encryption password so that if the wrong password is entered the LUKS headers will be destroyed also an option to destroy the data after a set amount of failed password attempts.

Mental Outlaw is a true Internet Hero. I reckon this will be one of your most popular long term videos. Thanks for all you do.

using tails for like past 10 years, mostly for getting over protection on machines that are blocked or I lack admin priviledges, I simply boot up a tails form usb and I'm in, literally I used it to go over password windows 11. amazing OS.

The reason there was no chat feature in onionshare is because the apt repository only goes up to onionshare 2.2, and the chat feature was added in 2.4 I think. Also, the current version of onionshare is 2.6. Unfortunately, the newest versions of onionshare are only available in flat pack, snap craft, or compiling from source (you can also find them in the aur and gentoo repositories but that’s not natively for tails). When in the configuration menu for tails, turn privileged account on, then you’ll be able to make the upgrade (or download other software you want.)

Aint nothing better then a PB and J sandwhich, some milk, and a fresh Outlaw video on avoiding the fed boys.

now we wait for the ultimate paranoid privacy matryoshka doll guide of quebes os -> tails os -> hiddenvm -> whonix

Ah, an XFCE enjoyer! Thanks for the content as usual.

Mor Tails and TOR videos. Keep them coming, Kenny.

Few people on KZfaq know and actually teach and make videos about this. This guy is a GOAT fr.

Just a heads-up, if you're using tails and the tor browser for legitimate purposes only, make sure you don't change the window size or location of the tor browser, as that will help fingerprint you, as you will stick out if you stray from the defaults 🙂.

This guy makes the best video, for the last 4 years ❤ Love from Canadian Indian

Thank you for this video, I did not know there are actually many servers with GPG keys! Clever!

All I'm saying is how you got my facial expressions??? Literally just was caught on the toilet and that was my exact face and pointing lol. I'm subbed on several channels because you taught me everything literally so thank you.

I recommend a micro sd card and mini reader. It is much smaller, easier to conceal/dispose/destroy. I recommend the cheap Chinese ones that are notorious for corrupting after a few months, you can get a 3 pack of 16gb for like $10. If you go this route, and use it as a daily driver, remove any storage media/hard drives from your laptop for extra peace of mind that once a card is out, the data is gone.

Never used it, but love learning about these implementations that allow activists, journalists in other countries to communicate freely

You just made all kinds of lists with creating this Video 🎉.

Thank you for this upstanding video my upstanding citizen, we will pay a visit to you shortly. :)

I use Tails to avoid downloading malware from darknet sites onto my actual OS when getting textbooks for school. If anyone has a better alternative drop a reply please. :3

Yes a tails video!!! Awesome

I'd love love love more of this.

This was my first experience with linux, still use it to this day

this is all I ever wanted from an OS can't tell you how many times I have deleted something only to find remnants in a random folder a year later

ironically though, my isp knowing im watching this TailsOS video is already probably putting me on their list.

Tutorial of new things is the best content ❤

Youre doing Gods work sir. Thank you

The great thing about torrents is that the magnet link contains the Merkle tree root hash, so you don't even need to verify the signature on the downloaded image (assuming you trust that your torrent client isn't compromised itself, you still want to verify that in general regardless of what you're downloading)

Watching this video on KZfaq that your logged into... your ON a List !

The MIT PGP key server doesn't have to be breached. The attacker can just upload it with another domain name, and make the one on the breached Tails site match that.

It’s a good day when big dog uploads a 30 min banger🥶🥶🥶❤️❤️

I've done a set of operations via "Tails" and I can recommend it. It's fast,simple and it'a a low threshold for normies who are concerned with their online privacy. P.S.: I'm proud of you. No sarcasm. You're doing something important to all of us.

Mental Outlaw, you’re doing God’s work here; teaching the technologically illiterate (like me) how to maintain a proper security profile when using the internet. Also thanks for the cute/interesting farm and cooking vids, gives me something to watch during lunch break 😂

Dope video! Downloading it now

When the bulk of corpo internet creeps on you by default, using a paranoid OS ought to become our default.

I’ve tried tails and it works great! Now I just need to switch to Linux fully but windows just works so much better for games.

This is for educational purposes.

Why is this guy so wholesome

I watched this video and now I'm on a list! Great!!😂

OpenPGP is the IETF standard based on Phil Zimmermann's PGP. GnuPG is an open source implementation of PGP.

welcome to the top of the list, boys

I like it~ Like an actual liveCD in the modern age

Getting an education must certainly rough for some folks. Glad to see folks motivated to learn meme history.

The gpa process feels somewhat cumbersome compared to the gpg CLI, but given gpg's learning curve, I can see why gpa is useful for more people.

I remember the day tails was included on a computer magazine in Germany mainly for looking like windows xp in stealth mode. That was legit cool feature. Also bonus idk who said it there are no lists the NSA just has enough resources to scan everything.

Cant lie, these mentaltorials always make me stop what Im doing to have a gander 😅

You were expecting a monero wallet? Lol. Good video, thanks for the content. Here's some text to boost it. You could zoom in the command line window to make it easier to read when you use dd. I remember Luke had some keystroke pop-up in his videos, but I don't remember what app he used. (Guess it doesn't matter when it's a fresh install) Oh, you could also talk about why to or not to use tails on a VM instead in another video.

i love the Mr Robot scene, and I would just use SSD rather then hard drive since hard drive are so difficult to destroy compared to SSD. and I'll see if i can put Tails os on a Micro SD card seems like a fun idea to try. i am going to watch Mr robot.

The only feature that's missing is a nuke password for us that need persistence. If you use the nuke password instead of the real one and everything's erased.

If your watching the informative content that comes from this channel then your on a list

The fact that i watched this video will probably put me on a list

TAILS used to consider downloaded ISOs compromised, and they used to have you download it from TAILS and install it that way. So what you'd have to do, was download and burn the ISO onto a flash drive and then install it to another flash drive. I don't know what happened, and why they don't have you do that anymore.

If you do not want to get noticed during Tails download, Torrent is literally THE WORST way xD Every other torrent participant knows your IP is downloading this torrent. Every ISP of those participant also knows. I mean, this is how "movie studios" know their film is being pirated, and by whom. They just listen on Torrent peers and then send "Copyright Violation" emails to ISP's with detailed date, time and IP. I know because i receive tons of those mails every day :D

What would you recommend for OPSEC research outside of this awesome video?

Tails and kali linux have always been OSs that provide a commendable uses case that I have yet to use... Well I did use tails once

please do make more videos on tails

Was reading TailsOS guides just a couple hours before you uploaded this. Can you hear my thoughts MentalOutlaw? Perhaps we can get a video on preventing psychic leakage/ tin foil hat etiquette for the ultra-ultra-paranoid?

Yer so cool for us. Gracias hermano!!

Watching this on tails inside Qubes in a Deep shell, Nice

this looking like a FBI sting op

as far as opsec goes, isn’t watching this videos signed in to a google account enough to make you watched anyways? let alone posting this type of content. brave soul.

Thanks for this :)

You're THE Goat man

Shout out to Miles Prower for developing this OS

ah yes finally

Interesting! Will never use it except for educational purposes though.

I will watch the whole thing. I give you my aclaimed guarrentee.

Not having Monero in Tails is a huge blunder by the devs, also still having Bitcoin wallets

notification ✅✅✅✅

Wow, this is exactly the same USB stick as shown on 0:15 timecode. Tailsos is meant for me, as it maybe a fate.

Kenny about to start his unregistered securities exchange, gl brudde

Pozzed corporate art. 100% glowie

Can Tails work with Sonic so it goes fast too?

Does using TailsOS makes you a potential Tor exit node? Or does it work in a way where it uses Tor without actually being an active node from the perspective of other active tor nodes? Because after all you did, using Tor can make your ISP flag you instantly, and more specificaly in the country I live in, your ISP can legaly disconnect you definitively for "connecting" to Tor.

Cool another honeypot video
