<h1>Tails OS QEMU VM for Temporary Anonymity </h1>
<img src="0.png" style="width:250px">
<p>In this tutorial we're going to look at how you can run Tails OS (The Amnesic Incognito Linux System) in a QEMU VM, following the official documentation <a href="https://tails.net/doc/advanced_topics/virtualization/virt-manager/index.en.html">here</a>. </p>

<h2><b>Tails Setup </b></h2>
<p>First we download Tails OS as a USB image <a href="https://tails.net/install/download-iso/index.en.html">here</a>:</p>
<img src="1.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Then we resize the image size to be able to contain persistant storage (in this case, i'll make it 8Gbs):</p>
<pre><code class="nim">
[ nowhere ] [ /dev/pts/8 ] [nihilist/VAULT/Isos]
→ ls tails-amd64-6.3.img -lash
1.4G -rw-r--r-- 1 nihilist nihilist 1.4G Jun 14 10:15 tails-amd64-6.3.img
[ nowhere ] [ /dev/pts/8 ] [nihilist/VAULT/Isos]
→ truncate -s 8192M tails-amd64-6.3.img
</code></pre>
<p>And now we can create the VM in virt-manager like so:</p>
<img src="2.png" class="imgRz">
<img src="3.png" class="imgRz">
<img src="4.png" class="imgRz">
<img src="5.png" class="imgRz">
<img src="6.png" class="imgRz">
<img src="7.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Then press enter to launch tails:</p>
<img src="8.png" class="imgRz">
<p>(wait a few seconds for it to load)</p>
<img src="9.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Once in there, depending on your use, you can select to have an admin password and a persistant storage if you need it. Otherwise everything you do in the VM will be wiped clean upon shutdown (hence the word amnesic).</p>
<img src="10.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Then we select connect to tor automatically:</p>
<img src="11.png" class="imgRz">
<p>And here we click start the Tor browser to browse the web anonymously, and if you're curious and want to see the tor Circuits you can view them also:</p>
<img src="12.png" class="imgRz">

<div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2">
<h2><b>Persistant Storage Setup</b></h2> </br> </br>
<p>Next, if you want to enable the persistant storage go there:</p>
<img src="13.png" class="imgRz">
<p>make sure you enter a strong password that can't be bruteforced easily:</p>
<img src="14.png" class="imgRz">
<p>then hit "create persistant storage" and wait a bit for the operation to complete:</p>
<img src="15.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Then adjust the settings as per your liking, if you want the persistant storage to store more than it does by default:</p>
<img src="16.png" class="imgRz">
<img src="17.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Then if you want to install additional software you can launch a terminal:</p>
<img src="18.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Then from there you can use sudo because you enabled the administrator password, and install software:</p>
<pre><code class="nim">
amnesia@amnesia:~$ sudo apt update -y ; sudo apt install neofetch -y
[sudo] password for amnesia:
Get:1 tor+https://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease [151 kB]
Get:2 tor+http://apow7mjfryruh65chtdydfmqfpj5btws7nbocgtaovhvezgccyjazpqd.onion/torproject.org bookworm InRelease [3,526 B]
Get:3 tor+https://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security InRelease [48.0 kB]
[...]
</code></pre>
<p>Then once the software installed, you have the possibility to store it in the persistant storage aswell, so that it can be available when you launch tails again:</p>
<img src="19.png" class="imgRz">
<pre><code class="nim">
amnesia@amnesia:~$ neofetch
`` amnesia@amnesia

<p>And that's it! We managed to run tails OS from a QEMU VM and install some software into the persistant storage.</p>
