So, I think we both understand that doing general browsing in Tails or even Tor is impossible when there is a much faster option. Albeit insecure.
Okay so this part is important - when police organizations such as the NSA, CIA, FBI, DEA and even INTERPOL begin to profile a victim they will look at their browsing habits to learn who they actually are.
Now these guys might be stupid and what they are doing is futile but they have the direct tap into the www that most fail to comprehend. The police officer you see on the sidewalk is a punk and is most likely technically retarded. These guys, despite your paranoia, are actually your friends and are here to help keep you safe from minorities and muggers. Now, the guy to be afraid of has fucking 15 Monitors and a fucking GPU with a 10GB memory cache. He's wearing goddamn sunglasses indoors at night and has a really really really long fingernail on on left pinkie. He is based out of the fucking Vatican and they call him the goddamn flyswatter. SAY WHAT?!
People aren't falling victim because they had a flaw within their tor or tails but because that person using tor or tails has been connected with the user using Chrome or Firefox + Microsoft's. Google's, Facebook's, Yahoo's, Digg's, Reddit's, 4chan's services.
And Boom Bam, that guy selling drugs on the internet has been connected with that guy who is also a father and dentist and hes getting the party van careening onto is front lawn.
Now - if this ever happens there are things you can do like consistently wipe the free space of your drive, dban and powerful electromagnets. But you never even want to get here.
First the OS you use most often pretty much needs to be stripped down and secured. Now i use Windows 10 (muh vidya games) most often and I have disabled the majority of my services, broke a few things and set a ton of firewall rules. Even though i have done this thoroughly double and triple checking my work it's not fool proof. The software is proprietary so I can't recompile it to see what lurks beneath.
I mean, if you don't play video games you have no reason to not use linux as a primary OS. I recommend Bunsenlabs (debian based), Antergos (arch based), Puppy Linux or if you are noob give Linux Mint a try.
No one switched to Linux? Yeah didn't think so. It's amazing and powerful but even the best distros lack the user friendly functionality we have become used too.
So, with our connection to Microsoft being shut down best we can hope for we now have to look at what we use the most - our browser.
Chrome, Firefox, Opera (god forbid) or Safari (apple faggots). There are certain browsing habits we must acquire and tons of addons that can either help or hinder you.
Adblock with the correct filterlists, noscript and HTTPS everywhere are a few examples. The tricky part is to not go overboard and start sending 'do not track' requests. That's like going up to an officer with pockets full of unmentionables and asking him to search you. Ironically he may not.... but that is besides the point im trying to make here.
Never ever click on ads, when downloading a file make sure your not fucking clicking on an ad you imbecile and if you do fucking click on an ad dont fucking open it what the fuck are you doing close that no dont install you are so retarded your UAC is freaking the fuck out why do you keep clicking forward what the fuck who is knocking on my door so loudly?!
So, Facebook you should not use period. Google services you should not use period. Same goes for Yahoo, Microsoft and even fucking Reddit. You are compiling a sort of digital footprint of metadata that, in the right hands and if you pissed off the wrong guy while having a red bullseye painted on your back, could potentially connect you to your alter- super villain ego which could allegedly wind you up getting fucked in the ass by me because I got to prison first.
Now, I use Google services myself because hot damn i love that they save all this info for me keeping me from ever having to type again. (can you tell by my perfect grammar and punctuation)? But i try to disconnect myself from my online self from my porn online self from my other other other self as much as possible. If the piggies are unable to draw any correlation between users then there is no connection no suspect no crime.
You should really start at your ISP then work your way to your router then the firmware of your router then settings within. Next look at other users on the same network and how you connect to said network. Afterwards the actual hardware you use - is your computer a dell or a panasonic toughbook? Networks cards should be removed or swapped often and macs should be spoofed.
Learn your stuff, is that a GSM/CDMA card plugged in or is it actually your CPU heatsink? The older the computer the better, the more obscure the computer the better, the more portable the better. Look towards our glorious leader Richard Stallman for the neckbeard freetards buyers guide. Do all the dirty on a flash drive or even an SD card, something small enough to swallow. Finally your BIOS and BIOS setting and only after all that should you be poking around your OS.
The people poking around have access to the lowest levels so that's what you should be the most focused on. Not your fucking Tor configuration jesus christ. Thats exactly what they want you to do.
Now, do you want me to fuck you in the ass in prison? I have a 12 inch cock and I will. No? Okay. Think more about what you are doing and how you are doing it. Or don't, I'll treat you nicely babe, promise.
yeah fuck reading that
