Tails - Get your privacy back

Tails, because there is never too much security!

Almost all O.S. (Operating systems) like Windows, Mac, Ios, Ubuntu, Android, etc will track you and send your details to other persons.

This means that for you to become secure, first and foremost you will need to increase your privacy.

On this post I will guide you step by step on how to achieve this.
Following this steps, In the end you will get a fully working O.S. running on your computer from a pen drive!

The system that I will recommend you to use is named Tails, it is a Unix based system, specially design to keep your online activity anonymous.

You are going to need a Internet connection to download the ISO and a Pen drive (4gb is enough for what you will need)

Lets start with the instructions

Step by step guide to create a bootable Pen disk with Tails the anonymous system

Useful information and tips

After some time I decided to give you some more good tips, so here they are:

 

 

USEFUL STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW

● IF YOU JUST WANT TO BROWSE THE WEB ANONIMOUSLY THEN TOR CAN ACT AS YOUR VPN BUT DO NOT USE THIS FOR ANY OTHER REASON SUCH AS MARKET PLACES, CARDING ETC YOU WILL REALLY REQUIRE A STRONGER SECURITY SUCH AS VYPRVPN AND SOCKS

● I RECOMMEND FIREFOX TO BE YOUR NUMBER ONE CHOICE BROWSER WHEN DOING CARDING OR ANY ILLEGAL ACTIVITY I HAVE NOTICED THIS ONE TO BE THE EASIEST TO CLEAN (WITH CCLEANER)

● GOOGLE CHROME STILL HAS COOKIES EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE RAN IT THROUGH CCLEANER (MANUAL CLEAN IS REQUIRED) I DO NOT RECOMMEND CHROME ANYWAY

● VIP72 HAS SOCKS THAT COME AND GO OFFLINE FOR EXAMPLE DAYTIME IN THE UK THERE ARE LOADS OF UK SOCKS.

BUT AT NIGHT THEY DROP BY A LOT SO ALWAYS TRY TO HIT THE COUNTRY YOU NEED IN THERE “DAYTIME” HOURS

● PAYPAL’S SECURITY CAN SEE THE FOLLOWING
IP - TIME ZONE - KEYBOARD LANGUAGE - HDD SERIAL - PC ACCOUNT NAME

 



 

Hansa Market on the deep/dark web

Hello, in this post Iam going to tell you about one of my favorite markets on the deep/dark web.
The Hansa Market.
Here is the onion link: http://hansamkt2rr6nfg3.onion/

First I will start with the basics, what is a dark web market?
Basically a dark web market is a webpage located on the Tor network, using a .onion domain.
You can only access it using the Tor network. And on this "market" users can sell goods and services to eachother under a big level of anonymity.

Transparent Proxies in Squid

With, the extremely uncontrollable growth in the number of Hackers, not only system administrators of servers have to worry about the security of their system, but even if you are running a  standalone PPP Linux box, you simply cannot afford to ignore your system's security, to prevent that you need to configure a transparent proxie.
If your system is the main server which communicates with the external untrusted network called the Internet, or even if you simply use your linux box to connect to your ISP and surf the net through PPP, then you should definitely think about installing a firewall on your system.
The preferable and the best option in this case is to install a commercial firewall. However, this option is not always possible and is more often than not unnecesarry. Buying, installing and configuring a good commercial firewall is not only expensive but most beginners find it pretty formidable.

OK, I do not want to go through the hassle of a commercial firewall, what do I do?

Well, 'ipchains' hold the key for you.
The Firewalling code in the Linux Kernel changed considerably after the release of Kernel 2.2. Since then, a lot of new utilites and features have been added. Amongst these improvements, is a kewl feature called 'ipchains', which is primariarly used for configuring the firewalling rules and other such related details.

In this manual, we will learn about how to use ipchains to configure a transparent proxy on your linux box.
So what exactly is a transparent proxy?
Well, a transparent proxy is basically something which fools the client (who connect to the server running the transparent proxy) into believing that they are directly connected to the web server (and not through a proxy.). OK, I am sorry, that is not exactly the correct way to describe it. ;-) Read on for a better description.

Well, a transparent proxy works in the following manner: It listens to a specific port (like the HTTP port i.e. 80) for any connections. As soon as it gets a request for a connection (in this case a HTTP request for a file.) then it redirects the user i.e. connection to another port on the same machine. Now this new port to which the connection is transferred is actually running a Proxy.
So, in affect what happens is, the client i.e. the user who connects to the server where the transparent proxy installed,
assumes that it is directly connected and is communicating with the HTTP daemon. However, the truth of the matter is that all communication is being carried out via the proxy running on the server. All this would be clearer when you see the below picture of what happens:
Client --------> Server(Port 80 or HTTP)

 
The rules of the ipchains transfers client to the port where the proxy is running. So, now the communication takes place in the following manner:

 

Client --------> Server(Port of Proxy) --------> Server (Port 80 or HTTP)
So, the connection to Port 80 is indirect, however the client has little idea about it.
Now, that you know the working of transparent proxies, let us get down to configuring them on your machine.
However, before we get down to the actual process, you need to check whether this is possible on you system or not. Simply look for the file:
/proct/net/ip_fwchains
If you have this file, then well and good, else you will have to recompile your Kernel. However, I am sure almost 98% of you would definitely have this file.
NOTE: In this case, we will be transferring all connections from Port 80 to Port 8080 where Squid runs by default.
You could always transfer connections to any proxy port of your choice, by changing the revelant parts. I have taken up Squid, as it is the most common one.

Firstly, in order to transfer all connections from Port 80 to Port 8080, add the following lines to your startup script, so that they are executed each time you boot up.

Note: The server IP is xxx.xx.xx.xx
ipchains -A input -p TCP -d 127.0.0.1/32 www-j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -p TCP -d xxx.xx.xx.xx/32 www-j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -p TCP -d 0/0 www-j REDIRECT 8080
NOTE: If you are using ipfwadm, then add the following lines to the startup script:
ipfwadm -I -a-a -P tcp-s any/0 -D 127.0.0.1
ipfwadm -I -a-a -P tcp-s any/0 -D xxx.xx.xx.xx
ipfwadm -I -a-a -P tcp-s any/0 -D any/0 80 -r 8080
Once this is done, then configure Squid by following the below process. Please note that you need atleast Squid 2.x
to be able to make use of Transparent Proxies. Anyway, to configure Squid, edit the, /etc/squid/squid.conf file and make the following changes:
httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
Then,restart Squid by typing:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid.init restart

Voila, your transparent proxy is configured and running!!! Anyway, have fun and watch out for updated versions of
this manual.

Deep web and Dark web

Most persons already heard about the deep web, most of us have no idea of what it really is or how to access it.

On this post I will tell you all about it so keep reading

Private vs. Public IP Address

A private IP address (assigned by the owner’s wireless device) is assigned per device in the network from a DHCP pool. DHCP pulls a list of available IP addresses and assigns it when a device is attached to the network. A certain IP address is not assigned to a specific device (there is no static mapping) therefor people cannot use IP addresses to located your specify device. Static IP addressing can be used, but typically is not used in a home environment. When you connect to a wireless device, it is possible that it changes each and every time you connect, depending on what else is connected to the network. Also, unless the IP address is currently leased out, nobody will be able to look in a log (typically) to determine what IP address what connected when. 

The other IP address is known as a Public IP address. This type of address is what your ISP (Internet Search Provider) uses to identify you. When you log into a website, this is the IP address that is logged. 

When you use proxy or VPN services, the Public IP address that is hidden and the VPN/proxy IP address is exposed. If somebody has your IP address, they can get the geographical location of where you live whereas your ISP has your name, telephone number, home address, and whatever else you have given them. Lastly, when you are connected to a person directly (DCC, video chat, P2P, etc.); they can also log your Public IP 

Tor Browser Using and Testing it for the first time

Now you have successfully downloaded and installed the Tor Browser Bundle. LINK 

You are no doubt anxious to begin using it.
First, click on the "start" menu icon, the icon in the lower left of your screen with the windows logo.

On the top right will be a listing that says "You","Documents", "Pictures", "Music"... "You" of course will be replaced by your user name. Click on "You", the top most link.

This will open up your main user folder.
Now, locate the folder called "Downloads" and double click on it.
Next, inside the "Downloads" folder, double click on the folder called "Tor Browser".
Lastly, double click on the application: "Start Tor Browser" When you do, you will see the Vidalia Control Panel appear, and you will observe as you connect to the TOR network. When this is complete, your web browser will open up and will automatically connect to the web address: check.torproject.org This is to confirm that you are in fact using TOR.
If you have followed this guide correctly, then you will see the following green text, or something similar:
"Congratulations. Your browser is configured to use Tor."
Now you can use this web browser the same as any other. You can go to any website you wish, and neither your ISP or anyone else will be able to see where you are going, or what you are doing.
However, there are still issues that need to be resolved, so don't begin browsing just yet.

***********************************************
******* IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE *******
***********************************************

If you fill out a form containing your email address, your name, or any other sensitive information while using the TOR browser, be aware that sometimes it is possible for an observer to see that information.
When using TOR, use it to access websites and content that you are *not* connected to via your real identity or any username or nick name which links to your real identity.
Let TOR be for anonymous browsing solely.
Do your online banking, or any other activities involving your real identity using your normal web browser.
************************************

 

Obtaining Tor Browser

The first step to becoming secure and anonymous online is to setup and install something called "Tor".

"Tor" is short for"The Onion Router".
The concepts behind Tor were first implemented by the United States Military, and these principles have been used to create an extremely secure mechanism for being anonymous online. In fact, millions of people world-wide use Tor to browse the internet and communicate anonymously.
Tor works by heavily encrypting your communications so that no observer can see what website you are really going to, and what information is really being sent. It all appears as a bunch of random characters to any observer.
You simply use the Tor web browser just as you use any other web browser.
Tor takes care of the rest.

However, Tor by itself is not enough.
Even when using Tor, a user can be compromised in a number of ways.

First, some websites can be set up to attempt to reveal someone's true IP address (their true identity) by tricking their web browser or other software to transmitting that information.

For this reason, anyone who uses Tor will recommend that no one have javascript or flash turned on while browsing Tor.
In this guide however, I will show you a much better solution.
The second issue is that of human error. Even if you have Tor installed, you may accidentally forget which browser to put in a link.
You may also accidentally click on a link from another program, such as a chat program. That program might then load the link you clicked on into a non-Tor browser.
When you are using Tor, you must be careful *constantly* that every link goes into the right browser, and that you do not accidentally click the wrong link.
So then, let's begin. Obtaining the Tor Browser is easy. Simply go to the following website:

http://www.torproject.org

Once here, you may feel free to read more about what Tor is and how it works, or you may proceed to immediately download Tor.

 

[ads1 adsenselinks=""]

Here is how to do so:

1. Click on "Download Tor", or "Download".
2. You will see text that says, "The Tor Browser Bundle contains everything you ned ... Just
extract it and run. Learn more >>
3. Click on this "Learn more" link. for the "Tor Browser Bundle"
4. Assuming you are an English speaker, you would choose the top-most link "English (en-US)".
Otherwise, pick the language
best suited to you.
5. The file being saved will be named: tor-browser-1.3.18_en-US.exe
It is ok if the number is not exactly 1.3.18, there are new versions of Tor from time to time. At
the time that this guide was written, 1.3.18 was most current. By the time you are reading this, a
more current version of TOR may exist.
6. Run this file.
Nesquik7
7. You will be prompted to extract this to a directory. By default, it will be set to
C:UsersYouDownloads This is perfectly
ok. You can also choose a different directory if you wish.
8. Click "Extract"
That's it. Tor Browser is NOW installed. Time to test it out!
