[OPSEC] Even if you're a simple buyer you should be using TAILS and here's why

Every single order you make is a potential CD/Raid/Bust waiting to happen. It's easy to grow over-confident as a buyer and assume they won't raid you for that half-oz of bud, 5 strip, .5g of powder or whatever the hell you think a personal amount is. But every single one of us has the potential to be raided every single time they order. When they do, you will probably not have time to smash your computer, burn the house down, or do anything else to destroy the evidence. So why take the risk that they'll find additional incriminating evidence on your computer? That "plausible deniability" defense you repeat in your head whenever your pack is running late won't help you one bit when they find evidence of you visiting this sub, a DNM, or anything else that points to your interest in drugs. And if you're not using an amnesic OS like TAILS, they WILL find the evidence they need to fuck you up. Don't give them the satisfaction.

it obviously can't hurt, but it is still very unlikely for anything to come of personal size purchases. They would look pretty bad raiding someones house and finding the 1/8th of tree he bought on the DNMs and his little bong... not worth it to them


[11 Points] DOOT_DOOT_:

Also, I think it's a lot of fun to set up. It's kind of cloak and daggery.

Nobody will expect win 3.1 on a 56k dialup modem! Fuck your linuxes.


[5 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

No version of TOR saves your web browsing history to the partition from which it boots or any other.

You get into trouble if you get raided and they find drugs. If they've got your laptop, that means that you've already been raided.

Saying that you are less-likely to be raided using TAILS is woolly thinking or a white lie.

Remember:- when you tell those little white lies that the night has a thousand eyes.

Catchy, isn't it?


[3 Points] stonedcheese420:

Tails probably is the best way to go but it has it#s own security flaws. For small time buyers it will most likely make no difference.

But to be honest none of these cases have anything to do with only using TOR and would not have been prevented if using Tails. Most of them didn't mention anything regarding that. They could have used Tails.


[3 Points] JohnMuirWoodsman:

Stop fear-mongering, you're ruining our highs yo!

If I get raided it's already all over anyways, fuck going to prison.

When they bust into my house I'll quickly grab my shotgun (whilst tripping on 2000ug of acid) and then scream "see you on the other side fuckers!" and blow my head off. Then, they get to live with the PTSD of seeing my head explode.


[3 Points] Vesspo:

so are you saying that my personal reddit account (this one), that i usually use on windows, is incriminating because im sub to this subreddit along with r/trees and r/DarkNetMarkets ?


[2 Points] None:

Im so glad I live in south america where my police is so occupied being corrupt pieces of shit than lurk through plain looking postcards in order to ruin someone's life to avoid him ruin his life with drugs.


[2 Points] None:

encrypted hard drive?


[2 Points] karachay:

I doubt any of you guys would know the answer to this but if i set up a raspberry as a tor proxy could i skip using tails and just connect to this and then connect to a VPN and then after all of that connect to tor? That seems like a really strong OPSEC shield to me at least


[2 Points] Anti-Hero_AU:

When they do, you will probably not have time to smash your computer, burn the house down, or do anything else to destroy the evidence

Don't forget to take out Chewie. He's gotta go man, he's a liability now.

Awesome PSA, among the best you'll read here, ever. Cheers u/ThrowawayTehGay


[1 Points] MrCluelessFrog:

EDIT: Stupid question about TAILS.


[1 Points] Shroomies2:

TAILS is more than enough for almost everyone. Add in how easy it is to use (PGP, jabber, electrum, libreoffice already installed) and its a no brainer.


[1 Points] SgtFaecesProcessor:

Most of those threads were terrible examples. All these threads you posted and only one mentions IP linked to an order and one seizing his computer. Dumb cunt. And even then there's no elaboration on how the seized computer was used.


[1 Points] mydnitek:

wish Tails would mf'ing install on Mac OS X 10.11.

google chrome is almost an essential browser to have alongside Safari but I just know that program is spying all my shit. fuck I route thru 2 VPNs for DNM activity (usually) while the whole time google is sitting here watching the whole show go down.


[1 Points] pantherking:

Mitigating damage during a raid? Okay they have my laptop but having tor installed doesn't incriminate you any further. I never understood the use of tails


[1 Points] local_residents:

You don't think a small time buyer will flip the vendor information over to the police to get out of trouble?

Yeah, they may not announce it here but if someone has their door busted in for a gram of dope and they sitting in front of the police scared and crying and then they are told no charges will be filed as log as the give up the information about where they got it...they will be singing.


[1 Points] MaryJaneman420:

I mean not everybody that visits this sub does drugs, I mean I just come on here for the drama and because the DNM is interesting, Idk if I'd ever actually do it


[-5 Points] None:

TAILS is retarded. You people only fucking use it because goddamn snowden said to. You're going to listen to ANYTHING that bitch says? Seriously?

Snowden is a government shill, tails has been backdoored from the start, and even if thats FUD, they've been giving you such a goddamn outdated version of electrum you couldnt even use it to send transactions until 3 days ago!
