Please read the information below: 1) I apologize for the low audio quality. I lost my audio recorded on the Yeti while transferring files, so I had to use the on-board mic. 2) I apologize for the video quality...I just moved to my dorms and figuring out a setup has been tricky. Newer videos look A MILLION TIMES BETTER :) 3) CCleaner is getting more and more sketchy...Bleachbit is a great alternative and is what I'd recommend using. 4) A mistake made in the video was telling you to hide your SSID. This won't really help you much... 5) I am fully aware I own a KZbin account...and yes KZbin is owned by Google. This video is targeting users who don't think about this stuff, it's all about spreading awareness to people who are unaware. Do as I say, not as I do! Just because I don't do something, doesn't mean you can't use the information and advice. 6) Because of time restraints, I cut off the part which expanded on Coinbase cryptos. This is NOT an anonymous method of purchasing cryptos, but just send it through a BTC mixer or convert it to Monero for much more private transactions. Shouldn't have cut that part out 😒 7) Don't type your password into any site. Not a good idea, my mistake in the video. 8) Google 2FA doesn’t contact Google, but feel free to use something like andOTP or Aegis instead!

[@sagegeas9205]

I realize I am not an expert in internet security... but... Why in the ever loving bloody hell on earth would you recommend ANYONE to use a password manager? Aren't they notorious for getting hacked easily and thus releasing everyone's "Safe" passwords? I mean sure it's easier to use one than keeping yours on paper... But there is this neat trick called using your brain to remember things. If you don't have a good enough memory to do this, then it's time to work on that. Because that is the most secure password manager out there provided you aren't a moron who shares their password.

[@partitionpenguin]

Dude, you're so full of shit you need to like, go back to preschool. Everyone knows incognito is the insurmountable, 100% most private protection method on earth. Take this anecdote for example. You're a master hacker using all of the tools mentioned in the video and some more that very few people know about. You're about midway through your hack, when all of a sudden, you get a text from the FBI for whatever reason. They've on their way. What the hell are you going to do now? They're inching closer and closer. You realize the one method no one ever bring up anymore - Incognito mode! You open an Incognito browser, and *poof*! You've disappeared off the map. The FBI agent can't find you anymore. Boom. That's what you call a verbose explanation of a meme. There's a reason why people say a picture is worth a thousand words.

casual, i've been encrypting my comment for 1 year only to tell you that browsing for porn at zone 4 is bad, you should be in zone 11 Makeup every 2 hours, wear an big hoodie and switch it ( It must be from another color.) every 1 hour and 45 minutes, walk in an different way every time you enter an place, every person you talk to you must kill and every object you use shall burn and explode into an place where many people in poverty live so they will have enough junky DNA to cover you. You must use 21 Vpn's at once, switch computers every 10 minutes or so and burn the last one you used, every storage shall be put into your mind as no one can hack it, and every porn video, for security reasons.. You must click on every Ad talking about sexy girls at 2 km near you and ads talking about an stepsister fuck simulator game and download every single thing they send you. Thats zone 11

Techlore - Just wondering, isn't having sensitive information like passwords and other things stored on a cloud server a security risk? If those servers were compromised then everyone's passwords would be known.

[@techlore]

That’s the beauty of KeePass, you keep the database file locally on your computer. No cloud syncing 👍

[@travisandmissydog]

Very well laid out and THOUGHT out! I am sharing this with others and also saved this into my collection of frequently watched videos. Subscribed and starting the adventure to tighten up my security. Thanks!!!

[@techlore]

Yay it makes so happy when people start increasing their security :) I wish you the best of luck with your adventure and hope your friends enjoy the video too 🤓

[@travisandmissydog]

Well you're doing an outstanding job at it! I would like to throw it out there to do a more in-depth video on stock iPhones and Androids and also custom ROM'd Androids (like you run) pros and cons. I am trying to get myself prepared for what I am going to give up to run something like what you have. I run an iPhone 6S as of right now (NordVPN, locations off, alphanumeric password), but am looking into a custom ROM with the Pixel 2 now after watching your video. Just throwing it out there as an idea. I have been searching all day and can't find anyone that has any videos on these subjects where it's laid out as well as you did. You're a heck of a teacher my friend! You are teaching this old dog some new tricks for sure! I had gotten kind of slack on my security awareness after I switched to Linux. My browsers are pretty solid but I am quickly seeing that I am not as "well rounded" as I thought I was. Again- thanks for taking all the time and effort to put this together. I will continue to send this to others so they too may benefit from your teachings.

[@techlore]

I will definitely add those to my list of videos to make in the future :) Privacy ROMS are an excellent topic which fit extremely well with the channel so I would be happy to do them. I would definitely try out the custom ROM on a Pixel if you are okay switching to a whole new OS on a new device. I moved away from Apple a few years ago and couldn't be happier with the switch! (I can't stand iOS) But honestly if you were able to switch to Linux from Windows, you are clearly tech savvy enough to switch to Android...and in my opinion, Linux is a MUCH bigger jump from Windows than Android is from iOS. I say give it a go!

[@travisandmissydog]

Thank you and can't wait! I switched from Android back in 2012 to iOS. I enjoyed Android a lot because they were open source and most of the apps were free (back then at least). I am ready to go back though. Tired of Apple's BS games with there phones and batteries not lasting etc... Probably going to be another month or two before I can make the switch back. Got the news today that I have to go in for round two of back surgery so I am having to make plans and be smart with my finances while I am out from work. Looking forward to seeing more videos in the future! Stay safe!

Good luck with surgery :) And hope to see you soon!

Deleting accounts is a bad idea. Let them die never being logged into. The problem with deleting the account is that someone else can then open the same account and start getting emails that were intended for you.

[@Bigmike83007]

Really? I tought you can't create an account with the same username...

[@inadaizz]

You can't unless you delete your account is my understanding. EX: You delete your account "User@yahoo/aol/hotmail.com" or any other account that feels better off dead I can now create a "new" account with that username but I will still receive all the mail you used to get. Possibly someone could forget to disassociate an account with the email and I would then own that too. I was always taught to leave them inactive to die rather than actually deleting them. Things change though and I'm open to additional information.

Nord VPN is good but I had a lot of problems with it. Stability issues, compatibility issues so I asked for refund after 2 weeks. Tunnelbear is also fine but not ideal.

Keep in mind that they all say they don’t keep logs but are required by law to start doing so and not inform you if the government asks them to. More and more of the public WiFi networks are starting to block VPN traffic anyway because they are free only because you pay with your data and they can’t sell it if it’s encrypted. Even some governments are thinking of making VPNs illegal or strictly traffic-regulated. Never buy crypto on coinbase, they need a photo of your ID or passport to allow you to withdraw which is killing the point. Also bitcoin transactions are pseudo anonymous and the exact opposite of private. If you buy your BTC from coinbase it’s linked to your identity and everyone can track how much you spend, where and when. Only buy crypto OTC if you want anonymity and only use Monero if you want privacy. For tier 4 privacy PC operating system the best choice is Tails. It routes not only your browsing history but absolutely all the data through tor, that’s updates and everything. Also had built in MAC address spoofing. For hardware - laptops and phones check puri.sm Another more customisable than Tails operating system is CubesOS. A bit odd to get used to, every file, every program can be opened in its own virtual machine but you need good cpu with many cores and lots of ram, at least i5 or ryzen 5 and 16gb for a daily use and motherboard with 2 usb controllers or pcie usb card so that you can map ports to VMs and you might need a KVM or second mouse and keyboard as well. Shitty, I know, but that’s tier 4 stuff, learn to like it. Protonmail kicks ass. They even have onion mirror. Great video! Subscribed :) Cheers.

Thanks for all of the pointers :) Glad you liked the video!

If Nord doesn’t work for you, try Express VPN. I personally would use Express, but I use Nord because I have a lot of devices to protect.

[@jwong6985]

Wait what if I'm addicted to safety?

[@techlore]

That's a good thing! Zone 4 BOUND!

[@t.z.g9118]

from our windows use virtual box running parallels that is running vmware that is running QEMU(all virtual os) and BOOM you got your security (even run VPN,Ativirus and firewall on each of them)

[@ibanezlax8]

Good video, I agree with most of what you said. One thing to note is hiding the ssid for you WiFi network might have connectivity issues especially with apple products. I recommend flashing a 3rd party firmware for more privacy. Well done!

[@Pencil0fDoom]

Tons of fantastic info! Great job...

[@mreaaasy9525]

Also do we have communities of people like you?? Wanna keep current and to know more anyone I can find one?? Absolutely awesome topic

[@techlore]

There are a few good communities: - We have our communities on Discord and Telegram. They're a ton of fun! - r/privacy on Reddit, informational but unfriendly to noobs - EFF local communities - r/digitalminimalism on Reddit

[@davidflint9883]

That was awesome. Great work

Thanks Dave!

*Information Security Content* FYI, you can still use a good phone and ghost. Using a archaic tech could do more harm than good. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is still a great device that is readily available to buy nearly anywhere as an unlocked device to flash to a carrier of your choice. You could also fairly easily modify a Nexus 5 to have the same capability that the S5 does, which is a removable battery. Regardless of what phone you're using, you can be tracked by the gps service on your phone, WiFi usage, background data usage over the network, and by your carrier quasi-abusing imsi privileges. Any time you place a call, your position could be triangulated by use of multiple towers providing service to your area. To get around these other methods of tracking, remove your battery from your device and keep it out until you're ready to use it. When you make a call, try your best to stay in one place to stay connected to as few towers as possible. If you use the phone on a consistent basis, mix up your schedule a bit. Be sure that your battery is disconnected from your device /and not just powered off/ when not in use. With an S5 or Nexus 5, you'll be well off rooting your device. However, this does not prevent your information from being compromised through remote access of your camera or microphone. One viable option that would set a user leaps and bounds ahead in regards to safeguarding their privacy would be to disconnect the attached camera*S* and microphone*S* on their device, of which there will be multiple. Use an external mic for speaking into. You won't have to worry about this as much if you're practicing good opsec and removing your battery, but it's a solid method. Security through obscurity is an important factor when it comes to protecting your real identity. It's always best to blend in. Because not enough people practice good security right now in this early era of security consciousness, practicing good opsec can actually do the inverse of what you'd expect and make you more obvious. Tor usage has actually gotten many people arrested for the simple facts that 1) not enough people use it in general, and 2) they never stopped to consider how few others may be using Tor on the intended website. The same reasoning applies to how you use technology in public. Am I more or less obvious in a crowd if I'm using T9 messaging on a flip phone while everyone else has touchscreen keyboards? Anyways, these are just more topics and more options to consider for the security conscious folks out there. OPSEC is a lifestyle. It's hardly stylish, but it can cost you your life if you practice bad OPSEC. Just ask the CIA.

[@shyryTsr2k]

Bro you're amazing! Really love security and my family always gets frustrated because I'm constantly locking all the doors, windows and blinds...Time to be the same with tech as well! Also, my bud told me to never use google because they go through your internet history, emails, and pretty much everything. Another thing is that google hates TOR because google sees it as a threat...I accidentally made the mistake of using TOR through google but i couldn't even use it because it says that it detects unusual activity from my computer and can't be processed (or something of that sort lol). Great vid!

[@whatsupbudbud]

Yeah, Google does crawl through your stuff. An easy way to confirm that is to create a password-protected archive and try to send that through your Gmail - it will say out in the open that file cannot be added because "we couldn't scan the file contents due to cryptography", lol.

[@mreaaasy9525]

I love you guy.. I myself is in CyberSecurity you talking, speaking the truth

[@margaretleo3650]

Your vids are awsome🔥 straight to the point✨👌

[@anannon8384]

Don't test your password online. Instead, use simple estimations. Longer passwords are good, but more potential characters increase the strength exponentially. If it's random, has numbers (and symbols) and is longer than you think necessary it should be strong enough.

YAY thanks so much! Glad you liked the channel :)

[@ChannelNoName77]

Great video. Gave me a lot to think about.

[@techlore]

[@TheScrowlingFender7]

Zone 5 - cover webcam, turn of microphone, change DNS, stop torrenting, use free alternatives to paid software, local (offline) backups, & use a standard user account.

[@FlyboyHelosim]

Alternatively, just don't do anything dodgy online and stop being paranoid. Also, two very useful tools that weren't mentioned but a lot of people swear by are Tails Linux and virtual machines. Tails is a complete privacy and security-oriented operating system that has Tor built-in and is a step above using just the Tor browser within your own OS. Virtual machines not only contain malware and hacking attempts but also give false information as to what your PC specs are in case anyone tries to track you down using data correlation and also to mitigate browser fingerprinting.

[@soulsurfer5531]

I'm a tech "dummy." But I pay attention to the strength of passwords. I checked my password, and it said it would take 34K years to crack it. There are people who know how to code with weaker passwords. Considering I'm a tech "dummy," there's a vast amount of information here, so I'll have to bookmark this video. I " liked" and will hit subscribe. Thank you.

[@DankaDoctor185]

I love how you said 'whopping 1.99' when Nord and Proton is extremely expensive

[@zeke3103]

@M Σ G Λ could you just create your own VPN?

[@DuckieDuck110]

@DJ LeechCraft that's why it's no longer in his top 5 list. Refer the new VPN upload

[@rabgix8805]

Deja vu Do I send the same comment again?

[@NoobGamer3D]

DEJA VU I JUST READ THIS COMMENT BEFORE

[@theleagueofdawnhopephone8372]

Well I mean it is possible I saw it happen to me I commented once and it shown 2 comments.

[@wesnorthcutt639]

I read that comment in my sleep I think...

[@surfbug1]

Very cool video. 50 hrs of ur time really helped and it's super informative!

[@kimchiman1000]

Man, I have so much to learn. Feel like a pre-schooler at the moment.

[@techlore]

Everyone starts somewhere! Keep on learning and I hope this was a good entry point into the world of privacy and security.

[@aliceatmidnight7060]

Amazing job sweetie! Very very helpful. THANK YOu FOR ALL YOUR WORK. 💜=Hero

[@reindee7709]

Awesome, good info here. Now I know better

[@Jose-lc6nj]

2:15 what about having all the passwords in a piece of paper xD

[@d11ita]

Great video! Internet needs it. You will help improving my privacy. Thanks!

[@techlore]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@jk268268]

Thanks, liked, shared, watched ad

[@zachd.873]

my computer's security is pretty high, but my phone is almost non existent. Btw why is tor at zone 3 while disabling javascript (which can break websites) is in zone 2? I use firefox right now with some added privacy extensions, and special settings in the configuration and I'd have a much harder time disabling javascript than switching to torr

[@murphykuffour6034]

My school literary forces everyone with to use Google accounts

[@techlore]

Same here man...I just never use it

[@murphykuffour6034]

yeah same. this is a great video the only i didn't know about was the android custom roms for privacy really dope

[@techlore]

Thanks man! And definitely check out Lineage if you can. It’s the only ROM I’ve been able to keep for months. Normally I switch every two weeks 😂

[@christianziebarth5649]

Just use it for school purposes.

[@techlore]

Exactly! Try to separate your identities online. Keep your school life away from your personal life.

[@icebread9335]

Shiet I am a level 3 guy, except public comments, I'm almost done with getting rid of google, heck I don't even use yt properly, and I got a Android phone almost completely disconnected from google

[@ronin8184]

this is extremely useful for a privacy lesson 101 ;D

[@migueltowarich2061]

Everybody should give this guy a thumbs up!
