The Tor network has more than 6 000 relays. Organizations running Tor relays include universities like the MIT, activist groups like Riseup, nonprofits like Derechos Digitales, Internet hosting companies like Private Internet Access, and so on. The huge diversity of people and organizations running Tor relays makes it more secure and more sustainable.

[[!meta title="How can I trust Tails?"]]

Tails will never try to harm you or any of our users, as a core principle of our [social contract](https://community.torproject.org/policies/social_contract/). As part of that commitment, we have written this page to help you make an informed decision about whether you can trust Tails.

The Debian project is coordinated over the Internet by a team of
volunteers whose work is entirely public. All this makes Debian one of the
Free Software projects under the most scrutiny by security researchers.

[Tor](https://torproject.org/) is the best anonymity network available.

<em>One of the most robust ways of using the Tor network is through a dedicated operating system that enforces strong privacy- and security-protective defaults. That operating system is Tails.</em>

If you worry that a computer might be modified:

Keyloggers are easy to buy and hide on desktop computers but not on laptops. For an example, see <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JJo8qCYE8M">KeeLog: KeyGrabber forensic keylogger getting started</a>.

Other hardware alterations are much more complicated and expensive to install. For an example, see <a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa-upgrade-factory-show-cisco-router-getting-implant/">Ars Technica: Photos of an NSA “upgrade” factory show Cisco router getting implant</a>.

Firmware includes the BIOS or UEFI and other software stored in electronic chips on the computer. All operating systems, including Tails, depend on firmware to start and run, so no operating system can protect against a firmware attack. In the same way that a car depends on the quality of the road it is driving on, operating systems depend on their firmware.
