Handy anonimity tools

You might as well start by looking in the data of your machine. Did you fill in your real name and address anywhere? Remove it. And don’t keep any of your passwords on your machine. A piece of paper will do.

KeePassX is very useful if you make more identities, keeping the database on a USB stick that you take out of your machine when you walk away from it, and keep that stick in a location only known to you.

Anonymous – the uber-secret handbook

The greatest threats to your safety are A) social engineering and your behaviour and B) revealing your IP address.

Anonymous – An Introductory Guide to Safety during Social Instability

Political activists, dissidents, and even nonpartisan bystanders caught in social instability are often fearful for their protection and protection of their families. Citizens may face harsh and even violent opposition by authorities and security forces in such situations. This guide is designed to introduce the reader to the mentality needed to stay safe during unrest and protests – both online and offline. It furthermore aims to assist in continued communications during periods of internet and phone line restrictions.

OrangeMesh

OrangeMesh is a simple, open source network management dashboard for ROBIN based networks. It helps communities, individuals, and business create and manage wireless mesh networks without any reliance on third parties.

Freenet

Freenet is free software which lets you anonymously share files, browse and publish “freesites” (web sites accessible only through Freenet) and chat on forums, without fear of censorship. Freenet is decentralised to make it less vulnerable to attack, and if used in “darknet” mode, where users only connect to their friends, is very difficult to detect. For Linux and Unix.

Osiris – serverless portal system

Osiris portals are serverless, so they spread through the P2P network members. This allows the portals to be independent of central servers, free and indestructibles since they are supported by every portal member.
Moreover, all the sent contents are anonymous, enabling a strong privacy protection and ensuring that no one can overwhelm this experiment of free thought and knowledge distribution.
Osiris can also build monarchic portals for a traditional moderation.

The Social VPN Project

This is a free and open-source P2P Social Virtual Private Network (VPN) that seamlessly networks your computer with the computers of your friends so that:

Your computer can communicate directly to computers of your friends, and all communication is encrypted and authenticated. In other words, you are in full control of who you connect to and all your communications are private.
This private network is configured with no hassle. The social VPN does all the configuration automatically for you. All you and your friends need to do is run this software and log in to your XMPP backend (such as Google chat, or Jabber.org).
You and your friends can communicate, share and collaborate in countless ways, with existing applications, like iTunes, Windows shared folders, and remote desktop. You can share files and folders, stream music and video, play multi-user games, access remote desktops, and run a Web server private to your friends.
If you own multiple computers at different places, you can also use the Social VPN to seamlessly access your files, desktop, etc remotely – creating your own personal VPN.

Comment by Anonymiss Express on June 27, 2011 at 9:45am: Thank. Let me know if you get into trouble. I have been overloaded since I wrote this and have not hunted or (when not found or not up to par) created How-To's yet.

Comment by Anonymiss Express on April 8, 2011 at 4:56am: Zwadderneel says will write about experiences with Metasploit and THCHydra, so people can see how it works in more understandable ways. And then there is the ongoing battle in keyloggers to write about.

Comment by Anonymiss Express on April 8, 2011 at 3:01am: I am working on an article explaining the details of proxy chaining and including Tor in the chain. But, busy, busy, busy IRL too ... may take a few days.

Comment by Anonymiss Express on April 8, 2011 at 3:00am: This is just a first article. Help if you will to spread the notion of securit.

My "colleague" Zwadderneel wrote articles about Tor and I2P:

Comment by TheLasersShadow on April 7, 2011 at 3:22pm: Hey Anonymiss, thanks for that article i was aware hacks like that existed but had never read a professional writeup on them. I'm still confident in truecrypt as i don't leave my machine running and as that article says the ram image only last at room temp for seconds to minutes, lets say 5min and be generous. Thats not an issue to me and all os encryption programs use ram to store a key so there is no immune program. The only way someone can use this technique is to ether catch my machine running or seconds after I shut it off. Thats not likely and I don't have anything that would make a team with this tech come after me or anything that would make a physical attack worth it. All you need is AES 256 and SHA 512 hash combo that TC has if the attacker can break that theres no defense thats going to stop them. TC is as good if not better due to being much more popular than those on your list for the reason that its been tested extensively by experts world wide.

Also you don't have TOR or I2P on that list above, If you know their short comings they are very effective. All one has to remember is that unencrypted data can be seen by the exit node.

Comment by Anonymiss Express on April 7, 2011 at 1:19pm: Dear TheLasersShadow, I have added an article on Encryption tools here: http://wp.me/P1pwng-fK.

Comment by Anonymiss Express on April 1, 2011 at 9:10am: Doesn't mean it isn't useful. Just means it is not enough.

Comment by Anonymiss Express on April 1, 2011 at 7:55am: Er ... disk encryption, the for many still standard approach to protecting sensitive data on laptops, can be defeated by relatively simple methods. See http://citp.princeton.edu/memory/

Comment by TheLasersShadow on March 31, 2011 at 10:37pm: TrueCrypt Its free, encrypt your entire PC with it. Can't be hacked if a solid password is used.
