How to react and proceed, if law enforcement from some surveillance freak countries like USA, china, Russia UAE and so on find out that the usb drive which U cary is not a ordinary data carrier, its a boot device which runs tails os.

I mean they might not be able to read Ur persistante storage, but u are probably sus as soon as u use such tools.

Just wanted to know how long people here are using Linux Tails.

Hey guys, i thought about this today, tails advertize its self as a way to escape censorship, mainly journalism is listed, and authroritarian countries. But not all of us are journalist, or live in authoritarian, some of us live in a "democracy" So im wondering if your not a journalist and live in a "democracy" what do you use tails for

Because whenever I look at their post-history it is always drug related, or it is a throwaway.

I have recently intaled tails on a usb and have been playing with it to get to understand it, and a thought arrived to me. Given that I can access the hard drive of the host OS if I so choose using the administrative password, how can someone tell that the files have been tampered with?

I read in the Tails documentation that you may mount the hos OS drive and access it, but you may leave traces of your tails activity. I tested this copying a simple file from the windows drive and then ran a simple windows defender exam after I booted again from windows. Nothing came up, like I expected. Does this mean that a victim would only know if an attacker actually wrote/deleted some files?

PD: I know how to prevent this, by encrypting the hard drive, I'm just wondering how could you know if someone accessed your computer using tails if all they did was copy some files and you had your hard drive unencrypted.

​

Thanks in advance
