A hacker explains the best way to browse the internet anonymously

[David_TheMan]

TOR is used to traffic in billions of dollars worth of pedo pron too; all of this info has been written about and it's not top secret stuff

i had a TOR browser and used it a few times, It just felt unnecessary for how I use the internet

also, aren't billions of dollars worth of pirated music and movies being downloaded on the "regular" internet every few hours?

big brother isn't as "all-seeing" as they claim to be

They are all seeing, the curse is there is too much info they are seeing to be of any use.
The real danger is that if they target you they can see everything you have done and are doing, that said they have to have a reason to even look at you in the first place for that to be an issue

i question this too...i've been surfing the internet regularly since dial up in the late 90's
went off to different colleges in different states and used their computer labs and dorm computers (different I:P addresses)
there's absolutely no way they have record of EVERYTHING i've ever done online, that's impossible.

 

[Serious]

FBI control a lot of the dark web. Tor isn't as secure as people make it out to be.

I got this impression back in my irc day....
I miss all the dark web fukkery
I had 0day axx through ftp addresses.

can't be serious breh. They had this shyt on lock, back in 07, you really think 10 years later they don't know when and where people are doing dirt. The problem they mainly prosecute big fish.

Maybe not as far back, but current day usage they can follow via logins to popular sites. They track the traffic coming from your internet data, if you log on in a public place they can generally track usage for a certain time period, they have a leg up on actual hackers in that facebook, ms, google, twitter give the US govt backdoor access.

Don't want to be tracked Tor on top of using a secure VPN and don't visit regular sites that you login to from the encrypted tunnel. LIke don't come here they can build a traffic pattern off your website visits also. Another thing is typically every browser leaves identifiable info that might be able to tie to your computer, like browser, os, etc. Get yourself a browser plugin that allows your browser and os to be spoofed.

 

[Hood Critic]

The FBI and NSA control quite a few Tor exit nodes, it's only marginally safer than standard web browsing and a lot slower.

so you're just gonna gloss over my point about the 90's? the internet has been a consumer product since like 96-97 breh, and I had it in my home.

again, you believe the government can go back and trace what I was doing some 20 years ago? you think they have storage space for 20 years worth of random useless information for billions of people?

just imagine all the internet information being passed in NEW YORK today alone. just New York City. today.

it would take a year alone just to go through 24 hours of information in a city that large. The government is not GOD fam. stop and think about your arguments man.

I understand all of that, but none of that negates my point. it's impossible for the government to monitor the sheer volume of information being transmitted on a daily basis in this country

and then on top of that, the government has no regulation over stuff like live streaming which wasn't even around 2 years ago - people live stream murders and crimes every day.

trust me what I tell you - all of this government/Big Brother shyt is greatly exaggerated...if it weren't THEY would've invented social media, smart phones, and live streaming to better "watch" us

they're so dumb and aloof that they're groveling to zuckerberg and all these other App developers to get in on what they're doing

They do monitor it or I should say document it, they have a backdoor and a copy of all traffic going through every ISP in the country and forwarding it to their data store, this was documented and exposed by Snowden.
What makes you think the government needs regulation to stream or store data?
I have no reason to trust you because you are incorrect. You do realize a CIA front company was behind facebook, twitter, and ebay right? You realize that we know for a fact that the US government had backdoors into smart tvs to activate cameras on them and monitor people. You know smartphones and all phones have US backdoors in them where the government can record and store conversations in the room and spoken conversations on the phone. You know US government compromised SIM card manufacturers to get copy sims and codes to break sim encryption right?

You seem to have what you know backwards, and there is no reason for you to be this way, the info on Prism is out there and available to read.

LIke I said, that the Government is storing data on its face isn't neccessarily scary because the info is vast, what is scary or what should be troubliing is that once a individual is targeted, the US government has the ability to use that basically track all that person's data usage and put together what sites that person visits or has visited and on those sites use their authority with most hosts to see what they are doing on said sites, what they are communicating, watching, and etc.

Me too. I loved irc. I hustled warez and MP3 rips in school that I got through irc channels. Even used usenet newsgroups as a kid to get porn jpegs lol.

you're talking about metadata - this is what the government claims it stores; fam do you know what metadata is?

Metadata - Wikipedia
However, without context and a point of reference, it might be impossible to identify metadata just by looking at it.[12] For example: by itself, a database containing several numbers, all 13 digits long could be the results of calculations or a list of numbers to plug into an equation - without any other context, the numbers themselves can be perceived as the data.

the government claims it stores information that has no context
that would be like having every member of the coli's phone number but no name attached to it and somebody told you to call the finest woman registered on here

also I don't get into tin foil hat theories...facebook and twitter are CIA fronts but the coli is not..why?

because you're here right now and clearly somebody as brilliant as you wouldn't fall for the okey doke, only the "sheeple" do

yep

 

[JerkPork]

everyone knows all you gotta do is clear your browsing history when you're done.

 

[Booker T Garvey]

yep

cmon bruh, a 1 hour documentary as your rebuttal?

I'm fully aware of all of what's going on around us - the NSA data center is right there in UTAH, it's not a secret, this is where all of the data is stored


but it's mostly metadata and useless information.
if you think they can pull your name up and everything you've ever done online or even what you've done in the past month you're laughably wrong

look all this up on your own time

I believe here in Canada it's more Pirate friendly laws.

The government doesn't claim to store it they do store it, they have numerous facilities that stores this.

Let me help you out and tip you towards what metadata entail
Phew, NSA Is Just Collecting Metadata. (You Should Still Worry)

Metadata is our context. And that can reveal far more about us — both individually and as groups — than the words we speak.

Context yields insights into who we are and the implicit, hidden relationships between us. A complete set of all the calling records for an entire country is therefore a record not just of how the phone is used, but, coupled with powerful software, of our importance to each other, our interests, values, and the various roles we play.

The better understood the patterns of a particular group’s behavior, the more useful it is. This makes using metadata to identify lone-wolf Al Qaeda sympathizers (a tiny minority about whose social behavior relatively little is known) a lot harder than, say, rooting out Tea Partiers or Wall Street Occupiers, let alone the people with whom we share our beds.

It is, in effect, a National Relationship Database.

NSA stores metadata of millions of web users for up to a year, secret files show

Metadata provides a record of almost anything a user does online, from browsing history – such as map searches and websites visited – to account details, email activity, and even some account passwords. This can be used to build a detailed picture of an individual's life.

The Obama administration has repeatedly stated that the NSA keeps only the content of messages and communications of people it is intentionally targeting – but internal documents reveal the agency retains vast amounts of metadata.

An introductory guide to digital network intelligence for NSA field agents, included in documents disclosed by former contractor Edward Snowden, describes the agency's metadata repository, codenamed Marina. Any computer metadata picked up by NSA collection systems is routed to the Marina database, the guide explains. Phone metadata is sent to a separate system.

"The Marina metadata application tracks a user's browser experience, gathers contact information/content and develops summaries of target," the analysts' guide explains. "This tool offers the ability to export the data in a variety of formats, as well as create various charts to assist in pattern-of-life development."

The guide goes on to explain Marina's unique capability: "Of the more distinguishing features, Marina has the ability to look back on the last 365 days' worth of DNI metadata seen by the Sigint collection system, regardless whether or not it was tasked for collection." [Emphasis in original.]

On Saturday, the New York Times reported that the NSA was using its metadata troves to build profiles of US citizens' social connections, associations and in some cases location, augmenting the material the agency collects with additional information bought in from the commercial sector, which is is not subject to the same legal restrictions as other data.

The ability to look back on a full year's history for any individual whose data was collected – either deliberately or incidentally – offers the NSA the potential to find information on people who have later become targets. But it relies on storing the personal data of large numbers of internet users who are not, and never will be, of interest to the US intelligence community.

Marina aggregates NSA metadata from an array of sources, some targeted, others on a large scale. Programs such as Prism – which operates through legally compelled "partnerships" with major internet companies – allow the NSA to obtain content and metadata on thousands of targets without individual warrants.

I think its pretty clear to see you have no idea of what you are talking about.

Facebook literally was funded by a CIA front company
Facebook and the CIA | ZDNet

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10456534

The story starts once Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg had launched, after the dorm room drama that's led to the current court case.

Facebook's first round of venture capital funding ($US500,000) came from former Paypal CEO Peter Thiel. Author of anti-multicultural tome 'The Diversity Myth', he is also on the board of radical conservative group VanguardPAC.

The second round of funding into Facebook ($US12.7 million) came from venture capital firm Accel Partners. Its manager James Breyer was formerly chairman of the National Venture Capital Association, and served on the board with Gilman Louie, CEO of In-Q-Tel, a venture capital firm established by the Central Intelligence Agency in 1999. One of the company's key areas of expertise are in "data mining technologies".

Breyer also served on the board of R&D firm BBN Technologies, which was one of those companies responsible for the rise of the internet.

Dr Anita Jones joined the firm, which included Gilman Louie. She had also served on the In-Q-Tel's board, and had been director of Defence Research and Engineering for the US Department of Defence.

She was also an adviser to the Secretary of Defence and overseeing the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which is responsible for high-tech, high-end development.

It was when a journalist lifted the lid on the DARPA's
Information Awareness Office that the public began to show concern at its information mining projects.

Wikipedia's IAO page says: "the IAO has the stated mission to gather as much information as possible about everyone, in a centralised location, for easy perusal by the United States government, including (though not limited to) internet activity, credit card purchase histories, airline ticket purchases, car rentals, medical records, educational transcripts, driver's licenses, utility bills, tax returns, and any other available data.".

Exclusive: Google, CIA Invest in ‘Future’ of Web Monitoring

It’s not the very first time Google has done business with America’s spy agencies. Long before it reportedly enlisted the help of the National Security Agency to secure its networks, Google sold equipment to the secret signals-intelligence group. In-Q-Tel backed the mapping firm Keyhole, which was bought by Google in 2004 — and then became the backbone for Google Earth.

This appears to be the first time, however, that the intelligence community and Google have funded the same startup, at the same time. No one is accusing Google of directly collaborating with the CIA. But the investments are bound to be fodder for critics of Google, who already see the search giant as overly cozy with the U.S. government, and worry that the company is starting to forget its “don’t be evil” mantra.
