Tails should ideally be run from a read only medium, such as a DVD+R.

>>52334735
A compromised system may tamper with your distribution on the USB drive, whereas this would be unsuccessful on a read-only medium.
>>
>>52334735

The whole point of Tails is extreme tinfoilhatterism

While we have this thread, which is the best dist for using without a mouse? Or at least as little as possible.
>>
>>52334887
any dist with a tiling window manager.
>>
>>52334887
try a tiling window manager like awesomewm or i3
>>
>>52333956
Correct.
>>
>>52333608
Knoppix, tails, kali
>>
>>52333608
Custom arch install. Why compromise?
>>
>>52333777
Turns out I need this - where is it from?

I like puppy linux, runs in ram.
>>
>>52334933
I thought Tails stopped being maintained years ago and I stopped keeping up with it. Is it still a thing?
>>
>>52334917
>>52334911
Right, never really got into the tiling wms, but now is a good time to try.
Cheers.
>>
>>52335359
It still is, you're misinformed. Tails is actively being developed https://tails.boum.org/news/version_1.8.1/index.en.html

Any pen-testing distro should only be on a live USB. I have a Tin Hat and Backbox USB

I'm afraid I must disagree. I trust my laptop more than my USB flash drive.

I can't find anyone online who's tried this but couldn't you make a read only bootable USB by putting it on an SD card and super gluing it into an SD card reader with the little lock switch flipped?
>>
>>52334887
All of them, since Linux has a built-in console.

You can just boot straight from SD cards can't you?
>>
>>52336616
With an adapter there's no difference to regular USB thumb drive
>>
>>52336650
SD cards can be switched ro read only for things like Tails though i think is the only point.
>>
>>52336702
Unfortunately the switch is realized in software
Normal SD cards don't have hardware write protection
Maybe there are some that do but I would not count on it

Nope, the switches on those are software only, the computer can actually completely ignore it.

Seems like a great idea. But I always have one on my keychain, and if I start handing them out to co-workers they'll just keep coming back to me for more. I'm not going to pay to supply them with throwaway flash drives, so what purpose do these serve?
>>
>>52335880

Plus where I live I can get an 8gb for $1. Four 1gb drives on their shitty website is $25 usd. Nope.jpg.
