Sekilas tentang Incognito Linux
Incognito Linux adalah linux turunan Debian yang khusus ditujukan untuk pengguna linux yang menginginkan ke-anonim-an secara penuh saat berinternet di Linux. Dirilis lengkap sebagai The (Amnestic) Incognito Live System ini dikembangkan dari Irlandia. Beberapa software yang dimasukkan dalam distribusi ini antara lain web browser, klien IRC, klien Mail, internet messenger (IM), dan semua konfigurasi siap pakai untuk berselancar dan beraktivitas secara anonymous.
Inti dari Incognito Linux ini adalah software Tor, sebuah software anonymous proxy/browsing terpopuler saat ini. Bisa dibilang Incognito Linux = Debian + Tor + LiveCD.
