Tails is a Linux-based operating system built around Tor.
It is designed to be used as a system live-booted from a USB drive. When the drive is unplugged, it automatically shuts down the machine.
Other than an encrypted section, it keeps everything in RAM as ephemeral storage, and everything is lost on a reboot.
