VPNs

You can check your IP using whatismyip.

Basically your using a program to connect to a private network from your computer, and then using the IP the network assigns to you instead of your actual IP. Pretty much doing so will keep you from getting Doxed/DDoSed.

Hard drive Encrypting
Encrypting your hard drive is CRUCIAL if you download/pirate music/programs/movies etc etc. Learn more about hard drive encrypting HERE.

Pretty much if the FBI rolled up to your house and took your hard drive and it's encrypted, they can't do shit with it and have no chance to prove anything. It would take them years to crack the encrypted password that you setup during the next process.

True Crypt
Information about TrueCrypt HERE

Download the installer HERE

Tutorial on encrypting you ENTIRE hard drive HERE

OH BUT THEY ARE THREATENING YOU FOR THE PASSWORD!?!?!?!? FUCK the FBI.

With TrueCrypt you can create a hidden partition, which would allow you to show the FBI when being forced to give up the password, a clean version of your OS. So even if you have to give up the password you are still getting away clean.

Of course always have a anti-virus of some sort, there are many downloadable on the internet. Just google search for nod32,kaspersky,avg or any other of the big name ones, I'm not going to tell you what anti-virus to use that's up too you.

VMware Workstation
VMware Workstation Info HERE

A VMware is pretty much a computer on your computer. A Vmware allows you to work on multiple OS's at one time, and anything you run on the Vmware stays on the Vmware, so nothing can harm your actual computer if you download a virus. You can do all your dirty work on a vmware and keep the trouble of getting a virus or messing up your actual computers OS.

These are many methods on how to keep yourself Anonymous wile using the internet, I suggest that you stay Anonymous at all times wile using the interwebz. A lot of personal information is stored away wile using the internet and may be used later to harm or fraud you. A lot of sites you give your personal information might be selling it out to other people. The internet isn't a game, serious things can happen, they're crazy insane people out there.

If you wrote this yourself, I think it would be better off in a guide section. It was quite a good read for me, and I imagine it would be even a better read for someone less informed about such issues.

 

[gds08]

Good guide if you wrote it yourself. I have to install addblocker one day when I can be botherd.

 

[Wowstuff4trade]

Thank you, and yes I wrote this myself. This are a lot of the tools #anonops uses.

More to be added here soon.

 

[Revolight]

Very nice, thanks for the share.

 

[The Don Kiluminati]

I have a question, wouldn't the FBI already figure out that your using the program TrueCrypt, thus they won't fall for the trick of a "new OS"?

 

[Wowstuff4trade]

There is nothing they can do, as long as you have it encrypted and have the CD hidden well they will have no evidence to prove you guilty with. There has been situations where the FBI have been m4d cause they couldn't crack someones encrypted hard drive.

Very nice tutorial, but for the browsers I would suggest an anonymous one, which stores your cookies, cache, info on a secure server. It also will hide your ip making it even more useful. They may cost a little bit, but better safe than sorry. A good example would be eCapsule it only costs about $30.

 

[Wowstuff4trade]

^Thankyou

Store your cookies? Sorry but anything being stored, especially cookies sounds like a horrible idea. They might say it's safe and secure but you don't really know that. I would use Firefox with addons and always use ccleaner to delete your cookies. Like people think facebook is safe, but in fact they store your personal information permanently. Delete your facebook and the information is still saved. They actually sell off your information to other people, did you kno that? The internet is very malicious to the levels that common browsers don't even know about.

EDIT: Oh and if cookies are saved and a company has access to them, they could easily read the cookies with the same process as "Sidejacking". (Sidejacking is packet sniffing on a Local Area Network(LAN).

Thread has been updated with a little more information. Will keep adding too it when I have the time.

 

[First_Last]

Great Guide.

 

[Wowstuff4trade]

ROFL it's not copy and pasted everything was typed out by me, and I was stoned as shit when I did it so forgive me on the typing or grammar errors. I've already been going through trying to fix the mistakes and adding new information. This was written by me, I've been anonymous on the internet for a very long time. (Otherwise I wouldn't be sitting on a computer now >.<) I even have the notepad I typed it in if you would like a screenshot?

EDIT: Oh and I think you should GTFO my thread with your BS. Before you troll, troll the internet and find where I "Copy & Pasted" it from. Fail trolls on this forum I swear.

 

[rushjeff]

[Wowstuff4trade]

^Thanks .

This was all written by me, I've used all of the programs posted above to keep myself anonymous.

 

[kill dank]

Very interesting guide. I would suggest adding details on SSH tunneling and proxies.

I'm not trolling, I just find it weird. Plus so many people plagiarize, hard to know if anyone's legit anymore.

Offtopic: I have Kaspersky Internet Security. Is it worth it?

 

[kill dank]

Is anybody having trouble with the CyberGhost download? I was going to check it out however the cnet page seems to be missing or inaccessible to me.


Also, Would you say that a combination of BestFreeVPN and Tor is a good choice? What would you suggest as a setup for the highest level of anonymity?

 

[rushjeff]

by the way ur signatures way to big better change it before infraction im suprised as many mods looked at this you havent gotten one yet -_-

 

I don't have anything to hide from the police, but thanks.

Question: Why do you feel the need to secure your computer so much? Are you performing many illegal activites? Do you have several Terabytes of illegal pictures?

 

Great information, I'll be bookmarking this for when I have time after class.
