About
Amnesic live operating system booted from USB that routes traffic through Tor and forgets state at shutdown.
Analysis
OVERVIEW
A live system that boots from USB, routes everything through Tor, and leaves the host machine as it found it. The amnesic default plus audited components is the point: no installation, no residue, no account anywhere in the flow.
LIMITS
The properties hold only within the session discipline: persistence must be deliberately enabled and scoped, Tor-only networking breaks ordinary logins, and the host's firmware sits outside what an amnesic OS can address.
USEFUL FOR
Sensitive sessions on hardware that cannot be trusted or must not retain evidence of use.
