I liked that. Stumbled.

Nice suggestions. However you didn't mention running a live CD such as Anonym.OS:

Robbie · 1 year ago

Tor is an anonymous proxy, which is number eight.

Is using a proxy a total guarantee of anonimity or are there ways to extract the real ip addresses behind them?

none · 1 year ago

Sneakily run a proxy server at your friend's computer and use it, encrypt and store your firefox folder with truecrypt and put it in a flash drive, use your parents names for buying stuff online, create multiple email addresses for different online activities. Congrats, you are now a ghost.

Scam,

I think the logs would have to be read on the proxy. Not 100% sure tho.

there is a software called mru cleaner.... i think. that can be a great way to clean thing. there are other free software which can do all these tasks at a click of a button

just use ccleaner (ccleaner.com) for steps 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7

Google, Google Toolbar logs IP + all of your searches, so there's absolutely nothing "anonymous" about using it. if you want to be more anonymous on the Net, stop using toolbars such as this one altogether.

That really depends.. it depends on the proxy, the amount of time that has passed, is there a subpoena or search warrant involved, what country the proxy server is in, etc. Short answer is yes, everything can be discovered if someone wants it badly enough and has the time, resources, money and authority to get it.

In reality, usually no.. it's not worth the time/effort and unless its something major they wouldn't be able to get a subpoena and/or search warrant (at least inside the U.S.)

Another one I just came across is Iron Key https://www.ironkey.com/, in which you could run a portable copy of Firefox.. thus keeping all your history, bookmarks, etc., on the secure, encrypted flash drive and not on the computer your using.

What about using google chrome's incognito?

cdrees · 9 months ago

Chrome's incognito mode is a great addition. The browser didn't really debut until after this article was written, but that's a definite new addition to the toolbox. :)

Simple:
-2 Kingsmax USB drives, one formated to fat32 and one 512mb drive in natural state.
-8GB truecrypt container and keyfile on the other drive.
-Create bootable backtrack 3 OS on 8GB drive.
-Create an SSH Tunnel to connect to 8GB drive.
-Buy a 6in USB cable extender and viciously tear and fray one side off. Use a knife to open the oposite side and place your key file usb in the cord. place this cord in your recycled parts bin until it needs to be used to unlock your other USB.
-Once booted up make sure you run it without persistent changes.
-Use Chinese Proxies, they fall outside of US jurisdiction.
-if the usb is captured, freely give them the password and keyfile. The nature of backtrack 3 will allow them to do nothing. However, your honesty will tie their hands as well as your explaination that you are simply dabbling with security and have nothing to hide.

Oh and also note that truecrypt users are not safe from password acquisition. Keyboards can be remotely read unless the cord is heavily shielded. Cracking is no longer required for password acquisition only a long rubber hose.

If you use Firefox install TrackMeNot, a small addon that hides your identity from websites and search engines. Good article by the way.
