Looking for good opsec tips. and how to stay safe on the internet - fixthejinx - Sep 21, 2025
Hey everyone, I really need some information on OSINT and other stuff, recently i have got a job to pentest a site that had a sql vulnerbility. i got in but it was a scam. i got hacked because some ports were open and they used reverse shell. so i dont wanna do the same mistake anymore, i need all tips. i wanna stay as a ghost. i use windows but am switching over to linux soon. and am changing my BIOS chip on my laptop to a custom one (going to be hard but its alright.)
I use Proton VPN
Tor browser sometimes
Yeah thats all really. please give me all tips and tricks and information.
Thanks
