Guys,
Have you ever thought of how to become completely anonymous in internet ?..
Can we do some activity in internet with 0-5% chances of getting identified as done by us ?.. ( just thinking, not for doing something illegal ).
I think we can do it by buying a laptop/smart phone + internet using a fake ID proof and payment methods such as vcc or BTC.
Then buy a few VMs using same method , connect from the laptop/smartphone to one VM and from that VM to another VM.
If we manage to create such multiple links, i believe we can be completely anonymous.
But still i see some missing links here . For example, how to get a VCC or BTC without revealing your IP or identity ?.
How to get an internet connection without having ID proof ??.
Share your thoughts guys..
Zalool,
Security is a balance between true security and convenience. Depending on who you are, "completely" may have different meanings as who may want to identify you will bring in varying levels of resources.
To answer your question, understand security is also a layering challenge. You will need to implement multiple layers of security in order to remain anonymous.
I am not going to condone using a fake ID here. I will say there are more creative ways to obtain non-attributable systems (garage sales, discount or refurbish centers, for sale bulletin boards, and many more. Find one of those more creative methods and get a non-attributable box, BOX A.
From BOX A, using VM's, mac spoofing, os spoofing, browser spoofing, et cetera, find another non-attributable system, BOX B.
Destroy BOX A.
Using BOX B, obtain another non-attributable system, BOX C.
Destroy BOX B.
Using BOX C, establish a BTC wallet. Use this BTC wallet solely for VPN access.
Using BOX C, obtain another non-attributable system, BOX D.
Using BOX D, connect to BOX C wirelessly. This is hopefully to give you deniability. VPN'ing from D to C, go through your paid VPN to the WWW. Your VPN service could identify your originating IP.
If you want to avoid giving your originating IP to your VPN service, use public WiFi with BOX C, and of course still connect to it via BOX D and a VPN. Be sure to select locations with limited to zero video surveillance, or with enough range where your location could remain fuzzy.
It would still be possible to locate you, if you keep using this method while someone is after you. To mitigate this, constantly move your location, and the public wifi network you are using as an entry point. Also, you should be changing your spoofed identities as well. AND, you should be changing how you type, what you are are into, and so forth, essentially, not establishing patterns.
If BOX C or D are ever compromised, so are you. Ideally, you will keep getting new non-attributable systems, BOX E, F, G ....
To purchase BTC without your ID being known, use localized BTC services which allow you to buy BTC with cash. This is shady as phuck, but it is quite effective. Here also, be aware of video cameras.
Ultimately, if you are using the internet, there is a signal. If there is a signal, that signal can be traced. You have to make zero mistakes in your operational security and whoever may want to find you can make a lot of mistakes. The moment you make one mistake, it could lead to you being identified.
Security is about layering. Security is a balance. What inconveniences are you willing to endure for privacy?
