The Incognito LiveCD is distributed as an ISO image file. Most CD recording software can record this file directly to a CD (note that this is not the same as simply putting the file on the CD, but an option like "record CD image" or "restore CD backup" should be used). If you want Incognito on a USB drive there currently is no way to do that directly. Instead it is required to have Incognito on a CD, start it and use the provided script (located on the desktop) and follow the instructions.

Incognito is currently only available for the i686 computer architecture. This means that it will be able to run on most modern personal computers. As a rule of thumb, Incognito should work on any computer from year 2000 or later able to run Microsoft Windows. It works on Intel based Macs as well, although there are a few issues (see FAQ).

This software distribution is provided as-is with no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, including total anonymity. Anonymity depends not only on the software but also on the user understanding the risks involved and how to overcome those risks.

Incognito LiveCD 2008.1-r1 (mirror 1, mirror 2. mirror 3) (digests, signature)

Previous releases can be obatined through any of the mirrors (see below).

Historically, there also was a tiny version (<50 MB) suitable for smaller USB drives or business card-sized CDs. However, it is not maintained any longer. The latest release of the tiny version is available from the mirrors (see below), but for several reasons using it is not recommended beyond testing purposes.

Download VMWare Virtual Appliance

For using Incognito in VMWare the following Virtual Appliance might be useful:

Incognito VMWare 1.1 (signature)

The instructions are included in README.txt in the archive.

Checksums (or hashes) and signatures can beused to verify you have the correct content to guarantee that the file has not been altered, and in the case of signatures also to verfify the content source. While this is not a strictly necessary step it is a recommended security precaution when dealing with security critical software.

The checksums are different for every release of Incognito. For each release the .iso file has a corresponding .iso.DIGESTS file containing theat .iso file's checksums, currently SHA-1 and MD5. How to actually verify these checksum is very dependent on your current computer setup. OpenOffice.org has a nice explanation on how to do this in Linux and Windows.

Furthermore, each release is signed with the PGP key of the maintainer who release it. Thusly, past releases are signed by the previous maintainer Pat Double (PGP key) while new releases are signed by anonym (PGP key). Verifying PGP signature usually require a PGP distribution of some sort. For that we recommend GnuPGP.

We are very thankful for those who host these to volunteer their time, space and bandwidth.
