How could you encrypt the USB and still use it as a live disk? I thought to encrypt a drive we needed to use BitLocker via Windows to lock and unlock or FileVault on a macbook. Either way the disk would become unbootable if it was encrypted. I am assuming you know something that I don't So please explain how a person could encrypt a usb boot disk? I have live boots of Kali, ParrotOS, and Ubuntu Studios.

I recommend Windows Vista. If Microsoft and Users can't get it to run properly, fat-chance anyone else could.
good point tho
Vista after Service Pack one (desktop widgets excluded due to massive security issues) was a fantastic operating system for systems designed for (not compatible with, they're different) it, offering fantastic performance and significantly increased security over a windows XP installation. Windows 7 aimed to fix the shortcomings of vista, being that it kind of felt like an overbearing nanny at times.
Not Windows Mojave?
@@DM_______ you mean... Windows vista service pack one?
Vista was a disaster inside of another disaster, so you could disaster while you disaster. I have an old circa 2009 laptop someone gave me; it runs Vista. I only use it now for running IBM World Community Grid Covid research simulations and studies, not for general use. Nope.
If you want more security don’t expect convenience.
At the end of the day, that inconvenience may end up being a huge convenience that the government doesn't get a chance to royally interfere with your life! Even non-government malicious parties could wreck havoc on your life too, costing you dearly for that 'minor' security inconvenience.

Protecting User Privacy has never been a priority for Microsoft. For decades, they actively worked with law enforcement to help them mine data off of users PCs. The documents exposing this have been out on the internet for a long time... When a corporation says they "Value your privacy" it doesn't mean what you think it means. What they are actually saying is they see a value in violating your privacy. If you ACTUALLY READ a "privacy statement" you'll find it's simply a detailed explanation of all the ways they intend to violate your privacy. Not a list of all the measures they will take to protect it.
Valuing privacy = "let's keep harvesting all your data, but encrypt it so we're not actively doxxing people 24/7 and you can't tell what we're actually harvesting."

@ViciousDave4Life IRS: i don't agree with your _findings_ (floppies against data loss, seriously? how do you know that?) it sounds to me more like a consequence of undercutting its budget to cripple their ability to get the taxes from cheaters (corporations).
This is actually true
@ViciousDave4Life Used tons of floppy disks back in the day, of every sort. Horrible rate of file corruption, eventually resorted to using zip files with at least one duplicate zip file for backup. Scary to think of critical data on a floppy! That's probably why they won't upgrade, they know half of those floppies are garbage.

Summary : According to this video, Edward Snowdon recommends Tails and QubeOS
I'd say whonix is the most secure.
he's fake, it's like Bill gates recommending covid vaccine
@@geniusmarcsays2434 except, you can literally verify the effectiveness of tails and qubesOS
Great content. And the animation you use are so smooth. Could we hope for a qube os noob guide ? I tried before but it needs specific hardware . Also what is your opinion about parrot os? It has many tools for privacy and comes with apparmor and firejail for security . Thanks.
www.qubes-os.org/intro/ near the bottom are video tours and a getting started link.
Thanks very much for this very informative video,I shall be using qubes from now on. Happy New Year
I had Qubes on an old laptop half a decade back, and I have to say it's a surprisingly stable system.
Half a decade? Why not 60 months or 5% of a century?
@@tac7826what?
How can I get it? I use Word and Excel a lot; does Qubes have anything like that? Sorry for the ignorant question, but this is the first time I hear about it.
Qubes is such a smart pick for privacy and security. It needs a beefy device though. Plus, Whonix, a Debian-based Linux distro that routes all traffic through Tor, works very well in conjunction with Qubes, as Whonix was designed to work best inside a Virtual Machine and Qubes has a focus on those.
I've been involved with computers for years and I'm embarrassed to report that I never heard of these systems. I know Wind Suck, MacShit and Linux but, those other ones.
@@steveforbes8287 Qubes is actually based on Linux, Whonix as well
@@steveforbes8287 Bro has been involved with computers for years but only knows 3 operating systems? Where were you involved with those computers? In the dream land?
i used to run it with a i5-2520m x220 thinkpad with 8gb ram . smoothly enough with 3 vm simultaneously. no that beefy .
Is it really secure using it on a VM though?
Halfway into the video, I was already downloading Tails with the intent to install it onto one of my many empty USB storage devices. It sounds like it'd be a useful thing when out and about and in need of using someone else's machine for a little bit. And plus it shares the name of one of my favorite video game characters so hey, how could I not?
Is Tails a Linux too? this clip is deceiving. Presented Ques as new OS, but is just another Linux, for sure better but still Linux
You can do all of this with near any flavor. Difference is these two are baked with these options In. I personaly have 2 systems one on khali for work purposes the second rinung Whonix. My kids are all on discrete family server is SUSE. Few aws servers and some slim linux on a few pies running as proxies distroed throughout town using LSP free wifi. Only thing I need to do now is change my cells over to a linux distro.
Live disk came out with the Linux distro and Tail was just one of many. Both Windows and some MAC OS came later...with live disk capabilities...College students and their research projects....
Much Thanks for sharing You architecture insight!
thanks brother i am gonna enter deepen to these electronic technology to know more about what it is work.
Tails has a specific purpose. Qubes is intended to from disk not USB. He didn't just say he switched because Qubes has better security.
Qubes is for the case where you want to do everything on one PC. You can achieve the same with multiple PC's like many security oriented people already do.
Freely available means if you don't pay for the product, the product is YOU Tales and Qubes dont catch spyware because spyware is build in their core

So, Edward Snowden doesn't fall for Apple's marketing about privacy?

CubesOs sounds really cool, imma give that a try in a vm to see how it goes. Maybe even dual boot my laptop into it
.it sounded cool to me too, installed and it only to discover that is still Linux. As it was phrased, it looked like is an entirely new OS. the first ones was referred as Linux distributions, but Qubes and Tails, as new operating systems. But at scrutiny you can notice that in the list of components Qubes lists Fedora 10 Debian 32 and whonix. So is not a new OS, but a new linux distribution. And more at kzhead.info/sun/ppxmcp2cbpuwZHk/bejne.html it mentions that.... apart from popular linux distributions like Fedora and Debian .... and this can be interpreted as admitting that is not a new OS, but an Linux distribution. I do not know if this is deliberate, or just conjecture, but this clip is deceiving. At least, deceived me. Anyway, I wonder if Tails is too a linux.
@@ehombane tails has the gnome desktop environment, definitely a linux distribution
really good idea... I've got to try this
Great video!
Great video. Direct, relevant, practical, and concise. Thanks.
The video is great, thank you. However I am baffled how this "privacy" thing is so common to hear. People: companies do not effectively save data to see what YOU personally do, they look at what a USER is doing. Most of it is Telemetric data, stuff like uptime, runnig applications, what when and why, but unless you commit crime nobody is really interested what you do. The money (payload) for them is not your personal life, the money for them are for mapping user habits and routines and performance data. Also, don't overrate your privacy because if you completely isolate yourself and follow "Snowden's advice" you pretty much will hate the internet, cuz you are not to login or register any accounts using these OSs, the connection will be painstakingly slow, forget javascript or any dynamic content, forget youtube, you can pretty much browse on old-modem like speeds. True, it will be private that is 100%, but keep in mind that your cellphone and your irl behaviour gives you away in a second, forget bankcards, forget cellphones, forget transfers. Real "privacy" is like when a bankrobber or a spy is hiding. You pretty much shoot yourself in the foot by wanting "so much" privacy. Be safe instead! Use a VPN, used a protected DNS, use protected Proxies, use a strong and known Password manager, like KeePass for offline, or BitWarden for online (open source stuff for transparency), register for ProtonMail for added security for emails. Create long passwords - better even, passphrases - at least 20 characters (I know 10-12 is the jam now but more never hurts, look up enthropy), password lock your computer and devices, refrain from biometric IDs or motives, encrypt them if you can, buy yourself an external authenticator key like Yubikey, and/or use mobile authenticator apps or devices. If you want to pay for extra safety at any of these services, I ran the numbers, expect about 50-100 $ upkeep for your privacy/ month! (VPN, ProtonMail, cloud storage, software licences, Proxy) Or just use free services from Google and enjoy your life. 99,99999% will never have any privacy issues anyway. Just keep your passwords safe and long (20 chars, always different everywhere and use a password manager) and use a VPN. That is already more than what most do. Otherwise the only thing you will ever experience of this "intrusion on your privacy" is targeted ads, which I love because why the hell would I want to buy diapers, when i am not interested and don't need any, I want to be shown stuff I actually might wanna buy. I know people who tell me they want control over their data, but fail to do even the first of the above. Annoying is what this is. Btw, I am working on becoming an IT security specialist, I did a lot of research on the topic, and I may not know everything, but I am not much wrong in what I said. I do the same, so far I never had any problems.

And the IT sphere, work with computers as an instrument, I think its a way more prison then the work with born given instruments like brain, mental work, emotions work, conscience etc. I tryed a little. It's amazing how it works. I had a litlle out of body experience too, after hearing the first day of a 3 days, Out of Body training. Its a level higher then 3D world playing. But still even a play. Just in a higher level)) And the IT, www, deep & the dark net are big worlds to. But there you play the game from big IT cooporation. And your posibilitys are smaller then in 3D world. Just cut the power cable, and you can't do anything. But nobody can cut you as a big conscience of one, of everything. But I have a big of uinterests. So my focus is to bright to learn soething special, & I'm little lazy)) to do meditations etc. to get more power and change my life. But I can say the things are working. And the energy is like bumerang, when you want to hurt someone. Remeber that is a part of yourself. And you hurt yourself. Even the energy will come back to you. And it can be more powerfull.

MacOS has had windows10 like data collection since 2018. Ubuntu has data collection as well, although not as extreme as the other 2, but it's definitely no longer an option for people who give half a shit about privacy. Tails is a great 'disposable' os, something to use when you want to do something and you want to ensure that nobody can track you down (it's not as simple as it sounds though, tails OS by itself isn't enough for this, it's just a good foundation to start from), but it is not viable as a daily driver. QubesOS unlike tails is viable for use as a daily driver, but it has some major downsides that may keep people off it; first off, due to it's nature of security through compartmentalization, and compartmentalization through virtualization, the OS is designed to run multiple virtual machines to compartmentalize your use, if used correctly it is possibly the most secure operating system in the world. The downside however is that it's very resource intensive, every VM is a drain on your CPU and RAM, so it requires a powerful CPU and a sizable amount of RAM to use effectively, also the VMs have no hardware accelerated video support, this means that watching videos in QubesOS is effectively not really an option, it's just not gonna work, naturally in the same vein, gaming is also not an option and a lot of professional tasks are unavailable as well. QubesOS is for the ultra-paranoid security extremists, it's too much for most users due to it's limitations, it's security without compromise, but unfortunately that lack of compromises also means that the user is not actually given a choice if they are willing to accept such compromises (like enabling hardware acceleration...) and makes it just not a feasible OS for anyone that's not doing extremely sensitive work. I could see something like this used internally by entities like military and spy agencies, but not even the most paranoid government office is likely to be willing to go this far (in fact most of them are not even willing to leave windows :| which is quite the disgrace)
qubes os are for the privacy extremists doing very sensitive work, be it spies, researchers, hackers or criminals.
Very good information, indeed, Mr. Herzog. Thanks.
Very interesting information.
I think, this is a great vid. Yet in my opinion a linux distro which makes u comfortable with hardening it should be useful and secure. And if I wanna do some privacy stuffs go on an one-time use OS or a VM. To be safe and secure depends on what environment u are in, I think. Like in my country I don't have to use VPN to download stuffs from torrents. And If ya wanna perform some attacks and don't wanna get logged ur IP then never attack from home that's way more safer than Tor. 😁 What to use... that's the one depends on what environment u are in, what the situation says, how much can u do something before ya get spied, how do u interact with it and so on that's why I love about the four point process, when it comes to security.
4 point process?
I must say that the vocalizations of the narrator bring to my mind the iconoclastic director Werner Herzog. It is, in a way as if the great man himself were giving me an assessment of tools to be used in the realm of internet security. I don't need to tell you that to the average person this is both thrilling and soul-shakingly disturbing on a primal, reptile level. Internet security has become the stuff of nightmares to me, and now Herzog haunts my dreams.
Bring me the child....
Hahahaha, so true! I had to watch it all the way through again after I read your comment
whonix is another great operating system. Prob better for the average person as it's a virtual machine, so you can try it out without changing your operating system. It's also easier to use and less resource-intensive.
Uh, last think I heard about Tor was that the various governments' agencies had become the chief purveyors of exit and entry points, meaning that they basically can, working together, find out a lot of stuff that Tor was supposed to shield.
I'm really curious to know where you heard that. I've had that suspicion for a bit and want to know if there is actual proof.

I used to use Qubes but then they made it a lot less compatible with various hardware setups, do I called it quits on qubes.
You could also setup a few virtual boxes to keep your delicate work information a bit safer from the internet.
To be fair, Qubes seems a bit overkill for anyone who isn't actively wanted by the NSA.
@@SteelSkin667 it's overkill for anyone who isn't keeping some serious secrets on their machine.
For me the main issue with cubes was the amount of ram you need to operate it. As I remember, 16 GB should be minimum, when you run some apps parallel.
Works pretty good for anything but gaming.
Tails *is* a Linux distribution. So, calling it a separate OS would be a stretch. Qubes is built on Linux, but of course, with its heavy use of virtualisation techniques, it is more distinct, so, calling it a separate OS might have some justification
Windows 10 is built on the NT kernel so calling it a different OS from Windows XP is a stretch... Your entire line of reasoning is stupid, Linux is the kernel the OS is built on. Your probably running Linux on your phone, it's called Android. Go into "about phone" & it'll say the linux kernel version lol
@@WitchMedusa OK ok, I used "Linux" in the colloquial sense, meaning "GNU/Linux", so not just the kernel, but all the userland as well, which is common to server and desktop distros, but not to android. If you really really want, you *can* of course call tails an OS, but if you refer to it as a (GNU/)Linux distro, then there are no misunderstandings
they're both operating systems the fact that they share a kernel means nothing
@@ME0WMERE it is not just about the kernel, it is also most of the userland. Android uses the Linux kernel also but its userland is mostly distinct, so here you could say that it is a separate OS. No so with different GNU/Linux distros
Every linux distro is a separate OS. Linux is a kernel.

linux-Parrot Security OS based in Italy is very good for privacy and security. It has an AnonSurv GUI that you can setup to launch at boot which routes all traffic through TOR
Parrot is cool, i use it more than kali, but it's not foolproof out of the box. Also, no matter what distro one uses, they are only as safe as we make them. Parrot, kali, qubes, and many others have great tools for privacy, but if you don't know how to use them, you're screwed.

Tinfoil Hat Linux (THL) was a paranoid overkill secure OS. It was entirely ecrypted runcode in volatile memory, every module was isolated and hardened, every parameter and input and output between modules was exhaustively filtered and interrogated. Such an ancient (circa-2002) linux distro wouldn't be very useful today, but it was fully opensource and probably inspired systems like TAILS and QUBES.

Tor is only as secure as the exit nodes. In other words, not really secure.
randomization between nodes so traceback is impossible.
What about hidden services? And, what about the fact that Tor devs know this and are combating it (e.g. with HTTPS everywhere) and are removing bad exit nodes as much as they can?
Snowden recommend LFS
What's your opinion on Kali Linux, Parrot OS ? Private enough?
german cc club showed you can read monitor cables and maybe go ocr ön it..? are standard? shielded enough ?
I was watching the animaniacs reboot and it was the pinky and the brain part. They talked to Edward Snowden and told his story and shit, but I didnt know if be was an actual person so I looked it up. Then one day later this pops in my recommendations but I used duckduckgo which is odd.
Duckduckgo got bought out by an pay-per-click ad company (that even goes as far to advertise ddg on radio stations), and before that, they got caught selling user data to classmates.com They were never focused on privacy and still aren't lmao
It’s not the search engine, it’s the OS.
@@mavenfeliciano1710 In this users case it is most likely the browser, if it isnt jut pure coincidence. Snowden has been in the news and on the minds of many people as of late. The browser, especially Chrome and Firefox, could be the culprit, or it is YT's backend rifling through cookies and history. Switch to Brave browser. Built on top of Firefox, but way more privacy oriented, has Tor built in addition to private browsing, and has an awesome ad-blocker which absolutely wrecks YT and Hulu adverts.
@@niggyshiggy awww goddamit. Is there any other browser you reccomend?
@@HansKillingerI was watching it on my ps4
starts from 1:42
Outstanding Video very well done, well done
I suppose they can access the computers with mains electricity with LINKY technology in France, it is the wifi carried by the electricity which supplies the electricity of the house.
I Recommend Windows 10. Installed it on a brand new laptop 3 years ago. I am still waiting for it to finish upgrading. Not a spy in the world that can get past that!!! BTW! anyone interested in buying a laptop. Only been used once...almost...
I run Tails in a VM on Debian that connects via VPN when I’m feeling paranoid.
@Duke Hugh Johnson I'm afraid to ask how much is too much...
When I feel paranoid, I either turn off the lights and the internet, or I imagine FBI and other corporations are my fans and make all my folders 'public'.
I run Tails in a VM on a VPN running Tails, so I can run Tails on a VM over a VPM while I run Tails on a VM over a VPN! :)
@Duke Hugh Johnson Maybe less blow is the answer.
@@markh.6687 You've got a Tailsception thing going on over there.
dont these various OS and VPN, networks just eventually serve as honeypots if/when compromised? what about technology that does its encryption job in the main stream flow where all the massive data flow is already, can't that serve as some security cloaking? or is computing so powerful that massive data flows don't slow anything down?
The systems he reccomds are Tails and QuebesOS if anybody doesnt want to waste their time. He starts taking about Tails at 1:42 and QuebesOS at 2:51
@Matthew Telle wow that was a while ago. Looking back, you're probably right, I really didnt have to do that, I was probably feeling annoyed that day or something
It's 4:44 minutes...
@@ksnjos001 pls read my reply to Mathew telle
People: Want privacy Also people: use facebook in tor browser
"The operating systems most people use every day today aren't really geared towards privacy." No, because the OS development companies concerned don't want them to be, they need to access our locations and internet traffic for advertising and commercial marketing revenues, and the odd bit of snooping, it's been like this since the 1980s!!!
Great info, that cubes is genius idea,
Just found this video and got to know QubesOS for the first time. I am going to install it on my personals laptop replacing Mint. Let's see how it goes.
Thank you #EdwardSnowden #Tails #Qubes OS #OperatingSystem #Secure
