But if there is one thing that I’ve learned, its that you need to be paranoid. Not just cautious, but paranoid. Don’t think that TOR is going to keep you completely hidden. I’ve seen entire organizations crash and burn solely based on that fundamentally flawed idea. Furthermore, don’t think that you’re completely hidden behind that VPN you bought on HF. Nope, guess what? Even if the VPN itself doesn’t keep logs, the ISPs do! People new to the game think that there is some “one time fee to solve all your annonymity problems!” NO! You still need to be covering your tracks and leaving false pieces of evidence to lead the trail of breadcrumbs away from your IP or your VPN. I mean, do you really think that VPN owner you pay a monthly fee of $5.95 to is going to keep your dirty secret when he’s threatened with any amount of jail time? Think again chummer. Im not going to say; “Its not hard to stay 100% FUD” Because its is!! Thats the beauty of it! If it was easy everybody would be doing it! Look guys, just stay safe. Don’t do anything stupid until you know exactly how to handle the reprocussions of your actions. – stay safe, and don’t do anything stupid! November 28, 2014 at 2:15 pm #1014 Active Wirehead 28 Posts Hi, I’m not a professional pentester. I’m more into Data.. As I know most of us have SIN (System Identification Number). Every day we are using Technology which can be very convenient for us(credit card, Phone, internet, GPS…) but also very nice for other kind of people. Even when you didn’t use technology people did it for you to enter information about you. Your personal information Everything from your shopping habits to your health history can be available to creditors, employers, landlords, insurers, law enforcement agencies, and, of course, hackers. All they need to do is tap into the public and private databases that gather, buy, and sell your vital statistics. They don’t even need to hack directly your computer to know more about you. And I don’t talk about information we willingly put publicly on Internet via our preferred social media But that’s OK. Yeah that’s OK. No need to fear THE SYSTEM. Because it is more important to know what kind of processes are behind your simple daily actions. It makes you more aware of your actions and the consequences… …Until you want/need/have to hack a system that is declared illegal wherever you live. So if you are going to a Run, you need to know what are the risks. Only stupid booster-gangs run without paying attention about consequences. So if you don’t want to go to jail or drew the ace of spades, i will give you the same advice that COUNT ZERO gave you : – stay safe, and don’t do anything stupid! November 29, 2014 at 5:16 am #1017 Count Zero 5 Posts That is another great point! It is essential that you don’t let anything from your personal life, identify with your alias if you can. So don’t use your business email that (JohnDoe@hotmail.com) has your real name in it to get in touch with shady characters. I recently got the idea from someone else (name witheld) to release false DOX on your alias. For anyone who doesn’t know, DOX means documents and if someone says they’re going to DOX you, that means they’re going to dig up your personal/real life information. Usually they’re uploaded on pastebin. So a good way to counteract this is to upload a bunch of false Docs (fake, phone numbers, fake Adress, fake first and last name, fake date of birth, etc.) If you upload multiple fakes, this will lead the trail away from you. And if someone does manage to get a real DOX on you, It’ll get drowned out in all the fakes. But don’t do too many, because theres a phrase I learned a while back; “enough no’s eventually leads you to a yes” Basically it means, that if they search hard enough, they could potentially find you through process of elimination. Anyways, thats my 2 cents on the matter. “Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts… A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding…” -William Gibson Viewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) anonymityanonymouschummerhackingpentestingprogramscriptskidTORVPN You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
