[TUT]STAY ANONYMOUS (an Indepth guide to Internet anonymity)[TUT]

Hi guys,
In this thread I will be going over how to stay anonymous while on the Internet/while hacking. 


SECTIONS:

1) Why is staying anonymous important?
2) How to stay anonymous at home
3) How to stay anonymous at school 
4) Advanced section




SECTION 1 - Why is staying anonymous important?

Well, this should be fairly self explanatory but I will explain it anyway. Staying anonymous is important while on the Internet. It's a big place. The majority of people online are harmless, but there are people lurking in the shadows, waiting to exploit you and use you. It is important to stay away from these people. They could infect your computer with a virus, hack one of our accounts, steal your bank account number or even steal your identity. Those are the advanced hackers. They can stay anonymous, no one will ever know their true identity, and no one can ever prove they have done anything (except for xVisceral, he made a BIG mistake).  

And then there are people who think they are pro hackers and they go online and brag about their "skill" and have the feds knocking on their door in minutes. All the time they spent bragging could have been time spent protecting themselves from such an event from occurring. 

So to sum that up, STAYING ANONYMOUS WHILE ON THE INTERNET IS VERY IMPORTANT!





SECTION 2 - How to stay anonymous at home

This is probably the most important section for all you beginner hackers. You probably want to learn the ropes but don't want to get in trouble. While you are only new to this, and probably won't do anything had enough to get in trouble, the possibility is still there. There are a few steps you can take to avoid this:

1) Use web proxies.

Web proxies are the most basic part of staying anonymous. Basically what they do is make sites think you are somewhere you are not. I would recommend using a paid web proxy, as the free ones keep logs, which can be used as proof against you later on. 

If you do need a free proxy, go to HideMyAss.com
They offer some good proxies, and most of them are high speed.

2) Use a VPN

VPN's are like proxies on steroids. They not only trick sites into thinking you are somewhere else, they trick your whole computer! They connect you to what is basically a tunnel which redirects all your traffic. Again, using a paid VPN is recommended as they usually don't keep logs. If you really need a free VPN I recommend:

• Bestcanadavpn 
• Hideme.ru



3) Change your IP

Most routers have a setting which allows you to clone your MAC address and set it as your IP address. This allows you to hide your location and disguise it as.

4) Use anonymous web searches

Some sites offer anonymous web searches. This doesn't offer very good anonymity, but hey, it's better than nothing.

5) Ctrl+Shift+Delete

This amazing little shortcut can clear cookies and data, web history and autofill data incredibly quickly! It's great and takes almost no time to do.




SECTION 3 - Staying anonymous at school

I get asked this by a lot of people at school. People seem to be really desperate to do things they're not meant to (e.g. Facebook, YouTube, Watch anime, Omegle and even Porn...). Since schools are usually pretty strict about these, there are only a few options.


1) Use anonymous web searches

I mentioned this in the previous topic, and while it isn't that great, it does provide some anonymity and most schools don't block sites that offer this service

2) Put Tor on a USB

Tor is a network which provides anonymity while on the Internet. Most schools will not allow you to download it and install it. So just download it onto a USB at home and run it when you get to school. Your school won't have a clue what you are doing online!

3) Use private browsing

Most browsers have a private browsing option. This opens up a session which doesn't save cookies, and can't be tracked in an administrator system. Its great because anyone can use it.

4) Double Desktop Switcher

Yup, everyone knows this one, but it does work! Download Double Desktop Switcher onto a USB and bring it to school. You can do whatever you want and when a teacher walks by just press the hotkey to change screens. 

5) Use your mobile/iPod

Most schools think they are smart an monitor all the traffic on their computers. The reality is that they are dumb idiots as they don't monitor mobile traffic. I have downloaded torrents and done a whole bunch of stuff on my iPod and my school hadn't had a clue!






Section 4 - Advanced section

This section will be covering a few extras for people who are paranoid about staying anonymous while online.

1) Use public computers

Don't do hacking stuff from home. Go to an Internet cafe or the library. Bring all your stuff on a USB and run it from that. 

2) Use Tor

I mentioned it before. Use it. 

3) Use paid VPN's and Proxies

Paid ones don't keep logs, and are high speed. They provide anonymity and high speed browsing.

4) Don't give out personal information

Everyone should already know about this. Giving out personal information online is like telling a burglar your home address and alarm code. Don't do it. EVER. 

5) Always use private browsing

It's worth it trust me. It does everything mentioned in section 3, plus most people don't even know it exists.

6) Combine methods

If you seriously want to stay safe while online, try this:

Go to a public place and use a public computer. Sign in with fake information. Connect to a paid VPN. Go online using private browsing. Then set up your browser so it used a paid web proxy. Open up Tor on your USB. Go to a site which offers anonymous web searching. 

With all of that, your Internet will probably be so slow it's unbearable, but you will be anonymous!!!!

I'm actually kinda offended that you would say that.
I will add the colors now -_-

EDIT:
It's too hard to edit them from my iPod
I'll change them tomorrow
Quote:3) Change your IP

Are you talking about the internal IP ?

I'm pretty sure it's the public IP?
Not 100% sure though.
I doubt for the public IP. MAC can be changed and internal IP can be change easily but ISP will provide the Public IP to the modem and then from Modem it goes to Router.

So I didn't get how public ip change via router.

Oh well,
All I know is it changes AN IP
Not sure which one.
But your public IP can be hidden with the other methods I provided.
I know about other method and thanks for tut btw.
To remove Flash Cookie is also a good idea :)
