<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''ARO Linux''' (Amnesic Read-Only Linux) is a **security and privacy-focused Live distribution** that is a derivative of **Tails Linux**, prioritizing a **completely read-only file system** to prevent data leakage and system tampering.<br />
<br />
== Base and Philosophy ==<br />
<br />
* '''Base Distribution:''' Derived from **Tails Linux** (itself Debian-based), inheriting its core commitment to anonymity and routing all traffic through the **Tor network**.<br />
* '''Goal:''' To provide an extremely secure, forensic-proof environment where the operating system and user applications cannot be permanently modified, offering the highest level of guarantee against persistent malware or system contamination.<br />
<br />
== Core Features ==<br />
<br />
* '''Immutable Core:''' The entire operating system partition, except for the necessary temporary RAM filesystems, is strictly mounted as **read-only**, making it impossible for any process, including root, to permanently alter core files or settings.<br />
* '''Enhanced Amnesia:''' Reinforces the amnesic nature of its base by implementing extra-aggressive methods to wipe RAM upon shutdown, meeting a higher security standard for post-session data destruction.<br />
* '''Tool Isolation:''' All included security tools, such as the Tor Browser and encryption utilities, are run in heavily isolated sandboxes (containers) to minimize their ability to interact with other system components.<br />
* '''Target User:''' Journalists, whistleblowers, and security professionals who require a disposable, trustless operating environment for handling highly sensitive communications and data without leaving a trace.</div>Shaunak Chakraborty
