Incognito was a Linux distribution based on Gentoo Linux. Its main feature was the inclusion of anonymity and security tools such as Tor by default and being able to be used as a Live CD or Live USB. ^{[1] [2]}

Incognito's developer has stated on the project's homepage that Incognito has been discontinued and recommends Tails as an alternative.
