Today, we added documentation on our website to install Dangerzone
in Tails.
When you receive untrusted documents, for example, email
attachments, Dangerzone allows you to convert them into safe PDFs
before opening.
Dangerzone https://dangerzone.rocks/ is particularly useful for
journalists who might receive dangerous documents from anonymous
sources or download them from the Internet.
Dangerzone is an essential tool and is built by great people. It
was first written by Micah Lee to protect investigative
journalists while working at The Intercept. Dangerzone is now
maintained by Freedom of the Press Foundation, a non-profit that
protects public-interest journalism. Edward Snowden and Laura
Poitras are on its Board of Directors.
It's totally the kind of software that aligns with our mission.
The only reason why we are not including Dangerzone in Tails by
default is because Dangerzone is too big and not available in
Debian.
So, we collaborated with Alex Pyrgiotis from Freedom of the Press
Foundation to make it as easy as possible to install Dangerzone in
Tails as Additional Software. The setup requires using the command
line, but, after that, Dangerzone will install automatically every
time you start Tails.
Dangerzone will allow more investigative journalists to use the
safe environment that Tails provides when manipulating sensitive
documents.
It's also the first time that we recommend installing a 3rd party
package that is not available in Debian. We know that a lot of
software that would be useful for our users is not readily
available in Debian. If this first experiment is successful, we
might document more such packages.
