How to Disappear: Advanced Tech Techniques

I have 1 golden rule, NEVER talk about anything important to anyone....unless it is in-person.

@weekendwarrior3420 Yeah, scuba might be better.

[@ТоварищКамрадовСоциалистКоммун]

you can't avoid important talks altogether. This might be in school, in high school, in your job, with a girl/boy friend. If you avoid it at all cost, then you probably don't live your life. The more helpful rule I think is to avoid political, religion, and very personal talks. Unless you know the person very well, or obviously share similar point of view or belief. Like he/she is the member of the same party ) Or you visit the same church )

Then is the discussion regarding 1 to many or many to 1 searches and database sharing and interoperability. None of which exists outside of a few countries.

[@LadyFarin]

1) Would be interested in whether to set up your home Internet using TOR vs a VPN. 2) Also how to disable location and whether it needs to be in developer mode. 3) When I showed my friends how to access developer options, they were amazed; perhaps a short video on how to secure your phone in that mode might be of interest. 4) This was an AMAZING video that I am sure will helped many women escape abusive husbands!

[@conroybogle3713]

Great video, an essential topic in these days of AI and the hacker jungle that we live in. But there comes a point when the energy it takes to effectively disappear is greater than the energy would take to simply "stand and fight" your pursuer(s), holding your ground or taking offensive action. What you've scratched the surface on is nonetheless essential knowledge to have. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Also, companies, especially big corporations, tend to have a policy of never actually deleting anything, so when you delete an email for example, it only deletes it "for you", it's still stored on the company's servers or elsewhere if they have a backup system, so good luck trying to delete that too. Also, it's amazing to consider how many 'ordinary' non-tech folks are out with warrants when the government has at its disposal such means. I think there is philosophy and ideology involved thankfully. I've started a philosophy called Total Hacking or the Clear Hat, the colors are clear, or black if it must be on a display or page. It's essentially hacking by any and all means necessary, which aren't limited to the world of tech. Outer space is clear. Snow is clear.

[@ASMR_Lighting]

Used the draft email technique for years at work to keep our communications from prying employer eyes - good to know it has a wider application!

[@AjarnSpencer]

actually, that’s a bullshit method, you use a PGP signature using an app like Cleopatra with a K, to send the email from an anonymous email address such as a yopmail account, from a public computer and an Internet café that uses a computer with a different IMEI number as your own, and has no WebCams in the Internet café to identify who was using that anonymous computer. Then you put an image or any other kind of file, such as MP4 or PDF, that has a message hidden inside it as a text file which has been embedded using stenography tools, such as steghide, or outget.. let your receiver know not online, but we wise mouth to ear what his secret password is, and password protect the message, the embedded message in the image meaning password protect the image as well, and password protect the zip file it is sent in in the PDP signature assigned anonymous email coming from a disposable email address such as yopmail… also the other way to be like a ghost is to never ever go on the Internet in the first place

[@africkinamerican]

The second method (staying off the internet) sounds easier than the first one

Rob, I think This has got to be the most fun video you've ever made! I love plotting my escape as though I was Jason Bourne or Edward Snowden. As well many good privacy points for general use. The idea of your friend driving you to another state BEFORE the red flags go up is good for getting you out of your state but of course they would be able to retro actively track you by looking at the travel history of your friend before the red flags went up. So they would know your new state and you'd be basically in the same situation again of them knowing your state. My idea would be to buy a used car with cash from some shady guy who doesn't ask a lot of questions lol.

[@robbraxmantech]

The idea is to just expand the search area. You do not stay in the State where your friend drives you. But it's just a place to disappear from

[@linsqopiring6816]

@@robbraxmantech But once you are in the second state wanting to disappear how is that situation any different than trying to disappear from the first state?

[@WildMidwest1]

Public transit is antiquated throughout most of the US. CCTV may be present in subways but the cameras might be from the 1980’s or more likely broken since Clinton was President. Bus cams do not have satellite uplinks nor other infrastructure to coordinate with three letter organizations. The main risk would be in big city terminals, not on busses themselves nor at rural stops.

Please develop further exploration of all these technical issues surrounding evasion of surveillance (location tracking, hardware identifiers, etc., discussed at the end of the video). They all seem core to your mission here, and have relevance even if people do not need fully to disappear from the grid. One thing caught my attention, however. Why do you imagine repurposed Pixel phones (and other Google-exorcised phones) cannot be tracked without SIM cards? In my experience, every computing device can be tracked through the hardware. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, or maybe there is something special about these particular devices? In any case, thanks for your efforts to raise awareness of these issues,

[@foxronyo]

In your opinion, when it comes to cameras and surveillance, which is better? A big city, where there are alot of people to hide amongst, but surveillance is higher; or a more rural location, like a country town, where there are fewer people, but also lower levels of surveillance?
