Incognito Live CD/USB Description

Incognito Live CD/USB CD provides software to use various Internet technologies while keeping the user anonymous. Incognito Live CD/USB CD provides software to use various Internet technologies while keeping the user anonymous. The project is based primarily on Tor while including supporting applications. The target use case is that of using a public computer, such as in a library, securely.This CD may also be copied to a USB drive to provide persisted user settings. The intended user base are those who would like to perform standard Internet communications such as WWW, mail, IRC, IM, etc, while being confident that their anonymity is not compromised. Power users who want precise control over the application and network configuration may be disappointed.There are full and tiny versions of the CD. The tiny version is intended to fit on small media and basically provides an anonymous web browser. The full version supports a variety of Internet applications.The Gentoo Catalyst release build tool is used to build the CD. This tool is designed to make the CD easy to maintain. For an update of only Tor it takes a simple version bump and 30 minutes for the tiny CD, two hours for the full version. Human effort is minimal, Catalyst does most of the work. A full update of all software takes several hours to compile, but this is seldom done or needed and again generally requires little human effort. Adding or removing software to/from the CD is also generally trivial.The following applications are kept up to date as soon as possible. Others may be updated sooner if a major security problem occurs (Firefox, etc.)· Tor· TorK· Vidalia· Privoxy· MixminionRemaining applications, including the base system, will be updated on a roughly two month schedule. What's New in This Release: · It has been reported that one of the advertised features of Incognito doesn't work in the 2008.1 release, the possibility to run Incognito in Microsoft Windows through the QEMU installation it ships with. The problem was a single backslash () in a script that the new QEMU version (0.9.1) didn't like, but which the previous version (0.9) didn't mind. · Because of this I'm releasing Incognito 2008.1 revision 1, which fixes this issue (plus a few unimportant cosmetic changes that no one really should notice or care about). Those of you that have already downloaded 2008.1 but don't use this feature do not need to download 2008.1-r1. · While every Incognito release is more or less a beta release at this stage, it has dawned to me that these kinds of silly mistakes probably can be avoided if there were some beta testers around and some sort of Quality Assurance procedure before every official release. At the moment the only one doing this is me, on two different systems plus the occasional system I happen to get my hands on, and in a few virtual machines (QEMU and VMWare). Clearly this is not good practice. · Would you like to be a beta tester for upcoming releases? If so, please send me an email (see the Contact section for how to do that). Right now I'm in particular interested in a few users of Microsoft Windows so that the above feature can be tested. I don't have access to a Microsoft Windows install myself and barely any one I know use it (great, isn't it!) so I cannot test this myself reliably. · Sorry for the inconvenience.
