Tails 5.7 Releases With "Metadata Cleaner" Tool
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
[Tails][1] is a portable operating system that protects against censorship and surveillance.
|
|
|
|
It is one of the most popular privacy-focused Linux distributions preferred by journalists and activists who do not want their information exposed to malicious actors.
|
|
|
|
With this update, it aims to become even more privacy-friendly and secure by offering many improvements.
|
|
|
|
Let's take a look at them.
|
|
|
|

### 🆕 Tails 5.7: What's new?
|
|
|
|
![tails 5.7][2]
|
|
|
|
This update has brought in a new tool to clean metadata from files, alongside various package updates and bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
Sounds promising! 😄
|
|
|
|
#### Metadata Cleaner
|
|
|
|
![tails 5.7 metadata cleaner][3]
|
|
|
|
This is a new addition to Tails, which you can use to clean a file's metadata. By extracting the metadata from your files, you can use this to prevent malicious actors from personally identifying you.
|
|
|
|
A file's metadata contains a lot of sensitive information that can be used to identify the author (creator of the file), how it was created, and the date of creation.
|
|
|
|
In the case of photos and videos, they can also contain geolocation data showing exactly where they were captured.
|
|
|
|
We also have an article on it if you want to explore the tool separately.
|
|
|
|
#### Package Updates
|
|
|
|
Tails 5.7 features the recently updated Tor Browser 11.5.8.
|
|
|
|
It contains a variety of CVE fixes, updated translations, OpenSSL 1.1.1.s, NoScript 11.4.12, tor 0.4.7.11 and [more][4].
|
|
|
|
Two stability issues with the Tor connection were also fixed, and a workaround for a known issue of the Tor connection getting stuck around 50% was provided.
|
|
|
|
> 💡 You can try one of two methods to fix it: either close and reopen the Tor connection or try a different obfs4 bridge.
|
|
|
|
In addition to that, the 'pdf-redact-tools' package was removed as it was not functioning correctly since Tails 5.6.
|
|
|
|
