Incognito is a Linux distribution based on Gentoo Linux. This distribution can be used as a Live CD or Live USB, the main feature being the inclusion of anonymity and security tools such as Tor by default.[1][2]
The developer states on the project's homepage that Incognito will no longer be developed and recommends The Amnesic Incognito Live System[3] as an alternative.
