Finally I have reached my fifty posts after months of lurking. I am in need of a step by step tutorial (FOR DUMMIES) on using DBAN to wipe hard drive on Windows 8 computer, Installing Liberte (preferably) or Tails on a flash drive and how to boot it on a computer that uses Windows 8, and finally how to setup and use a VPN.
I will post a .33 BTC bounty on each topic. The tutorial must be VERY simplified but complete. If one person posts a comprehensive tutorial and posts it here in the security forum ( I know there are other tutorials, but I'm wanting a total step by step to computer security and I believe it encompasses these three things if using a previously unsecured computer) I will add a bonus of .2 BTC to bring the total to 1.2BTC. Thank you for anyone who can provide this help.

If you have a Windows machine:
Download the DBAN iso image. This is a file that when you burn it to a disc in a specific way, it un packages the file and will allow you to boot from it.
Link [CLEARNET] http://www.dban.org/download
Burn the image file to disc using ImgBurn [Image to Disc function] or the built in windows burning software.
Download TAILS from [CLEARNET] https://tails.boum.org/download/
There are quite simple instructions on that page
Burn the image file to disc using ImgBurn or the built in windows burning software
Boot your PC with the DBAN disc in the CD drive
Follow the instructions and wipe the drive
Once complete, boot the PC with the TAILS disc in the drive
Insert a USB storage device
There is a menu function within TAILS after it boots to install TAILS to a USB storage device
This will install TAILS onto the USB storage device you have
If you wish, set up persistent storage on the rest of the USB storage device (menu option under the install tails to usb function)
Sorry it is a bit rushed but hope this helps

If you need any help with any specifics in each step let me know on here or via PM 8)

I was hoping for a really dumbed down tutorial that a 12 yr old could follow. I am offering the bounty so it can be compiled and hopefully stickied for all to see and use.

No worries ;D
It honestly is quite simple to do, there aren't too many options that you can mess up with, especially if you are just using the defaults.
If I get some time later I will try to write a detailed one out for you.
Cheers

Ok first of all please send me your pc details, Such as what Operating system are you using? And i shall write you such guides that you require.
P.s. michael, If you actually are 12 i would be very carefull what drugs you buy hahaha and if michael weston is your real name, get a new account mate, You coulden't be more at risk.
I really doubt it is, But just incase

Michael Westen would not have to offer a bounty to learn anything, he would be the one teaching us how it's done because Mike has it all figured out from experience. He was a international spy working on various covert missions for the CIA for years until they Burnt his ass.
