<h3><a class="anchor" href="#LiveCD">Is there a LiveCD or other bundle that includes Tor?</a></h3>
<p>
There isn't any official LiveCD at this point. We're still trying to find good
solutions and trying to understand the security and anonymity implications of
the various options. In the mean time, feel free to check out the list below
and use your best judgement:
</p>
<p>
LiveCDs:
</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://amnesia.boum.org/">The (Amnesic) Incognito Live
System</a> is a Live System aimed at preserving your privacy and
anonymity:
<ul>
<li> All outgoing connections to the Internet are forced to go through
the Tor network.</li>
<li> No trace is left on local storage devices unless explicitely asked.</li>
<li> It includes Firefox, Tor, Torbutton, Vidalia graphical Tor
controller, Pidgin Instant Messaging client, and lots of other
software.</li>
<li> It's based upon Debian gnu/linux and comes with the GNOME desktop
environment.</li>
</ul>
<li><a href="http://tork.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/LiveCD">TorK LiveCD</a>
is Knoppix-based with an emphasis on user-friendliness. You can work
anonymously or non-anonymously while TorK tries to keep you informed of the
consequences of your activity. The TorK LiveCD is experimental, so the aim is
to provide regular releases through 2007 and beyond.</li>
<li><a href="http://mandalka.name/privatix/">Privatix LiveCD/USB</a> is a
debian based live-system including tor, firefox and torbutton which can save
bookmarks and other settings or data on an encrypted usb-key</li>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Windows bundles:
</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="<page projects/torbrowser>">Tor Browser Bundle</a>
for Windows comes with a pre-configured web browser and is self contained
so you can run it from a USB stick.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.janusvm.com/tor_vm/">Tor VM</a> is a successor
to JanusVM. It needs testing from you!</li>
<li><a href="http://janusvm.com/">JanusVM</a> is a Linux kernel and software
running in VMWare that sits between your Windows computer and the Internet,
making sure that your Internet traffic is scrubbed and anonymized.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.xerobank.com/xB_browser.html">xB Browser</a>,
previously known as Torpark, is a Firefox+Tor package for Win32 that can
installed on a USB key. It needs a host Win32 operating system.</li>
</ol>
<p>
Not currently maintained as far as we know:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Polippix / Privatlivets Fred is a Danish Knoppix-based LiveCD with Tor
and utilities to encrypt IP-telephony. <a href="http://polippix.org/">Info and
download</a>.</li>
<li>ELE is a Linux LiveCD which is focused on privacy related
software. It includes Tor and you can download it at
<a
href="http://www.northernsecurity.net/download/ele/">http://www.northernsecurity.net/download/ele/</a>.</li>
<li>Virtual Privacy Machine is a Linux LiveCD that includes Firefox, Privoxy,
Tor, some IRC and IM applications, and a set of ipchains rules aimed to prevent
non-Tor traffic from accidentally leaving your computer. More information at
<a href="<wiki>VirtualPrivacyMachine"><wiki>VirtualPrivacyMachine</a>.</li>
<li>Anonym.OS is a LiveCD similar to the above but is based on OpenBSD rather
than Linux for maximum security. It was designed to be anonymous and secure
from the ground up, and thus has some features and limitations not found in
other LiveCDs (Tor related or otherwise). You can obtain more information and
download Anonym.OS from <a href="http://theory.kaos.to/projects.html">Kaos.Theory</a>.</li>
<li>Phantomix is a LiveCD for anonymous surfing and chatting based on the most
recent KNOPPIX release. It comes preconfigured with Privoxy, Tor and Polipo. You can
get it from the <a href="http://phantomix.ytternhagen.de/">Phantomix
Website</a>.</li>
</ol>

Bundle</a>.
