3:57 The point is that the legitimate server disabling plain HTTP does *not* prevent a MitM attacker from serving a plain HTTP attack site of their own. HSTS makes it so that the browser will refuse to use a plain HTTP connection to a website, for the duration specified in the HSTS header. This prevents that kind of MitM attack against browsers that have already visited the website in the past. Also, HSTS supercookies don't work like regular cookies, you don' get to store arbitrary data and then retrieve it later at will. It just causes the browser to refuse plain HTTP for a set time. The way that it can be used to fingerprint browsers is not immediately obvious and requires clever use of a number of phony domains. Accusing the people who came up with it of "not caring about privacy at all" when it requires a sophisticated side channel attack to turn it against users is completely disingenuous.

You could enable HTTPS only on your browser, so if an MITM serves an HTTP page it simply won't work. While 95% of websites use HTTPS nowadays, there are still some out there which do not. It's a two edged sword.
@effsixteenblock50Ай бұрын
I was scratching my head a bit with his explanation as well. The main problem with HSTS is that it records the sites you visit. If you delete the entries, they'll be written to the file again if you visit the site again. Maybe some sorcery with write perms in the folder that contains HSTS file would do the trick.
@majorgnuАй бұрын
@@effsixteenblock50 The problem isn't that the list of visited sites is retrievable from local files. The problem is that HSTS can be abused by malicious web service operators to fingerprint browsers. HSTS tells browsers to use HTTPS and refuse plain HTTP, for a specific domain and duration of time. That causes an observable difference in behavior: whether or not the browser is willing to connect via HTTP. This gives you 1 bit of information about the browser that doesn't go away when you clear your cookies. 1 bit isn't enough to uniquely identify a browser, but that's 1 bit *per domain.* Multiply that by a large number of domains (operated by the same entity with the express purpose of fingerprinting) and you've got yourself a way to store a persistent unique ID in a browser against the user's will.

Rob, could virtual machines mitigate tracking? For example, if you do a clean install of Windows 10 as a guest in Oracle's Virtual Box, take a snapshot (before any web browsing), and then do your web browsing... then... ...when you are done with your web browsing, you can restore your snapshot (takes 2 seconds). Your Windows 10 guest machine will be completely restored to prior to your web browsing session. Is there any benefit to the above? Or is it a waste of time? Your solution, to use different browsers, is intriguing. But then each of those browsers is keeping a history of your activities. And what happens if you mistakenly use the wrong browser and visit a site that you were supposed to visit with a different browser? I figure that by using a virtual machine (even more than one virtual machine), then you would be completely clearing out whatever your guest machine had stored, upon restoring your snapshot.

Just a note, moving around on other browsers (FF, chrome, whatever), using the same IP.. doesn't mean much to people who are dedicated to scraping data. Especially when requests are within the same time frame or depending on the logs, months apart. Using a VPN could circumvent that.. since the scraped data would all be lumped over "everyone" using that IP making the data an irrelevant mess. Using a different IP per sectioned off browser, like using your phone's data and PC on home wifi.. can segregate it like you propose. Up until you merge the phone on wifi or pc tethered to cell data. You're probably reaching paranoid levels at this point though. ;)

I typically use Firefox there so we can narrow issue to it. I follow same good privacy idea as you and on installation I disable any memorizing of anything (name, email, address fields, ccards,...). I also disable any "hints" for any fields such as URL, search,... However, now and then a website form will provide me with an option when I click on the field. Say I click on empty email field and below it will appear "suggestion" of the last email I typed in some other form on the browser. Need not be the email I use at that site but, suggestion appears. I have never seen this on desktop browsers and I don't understand where the info is coming from. Any ideas? (I see this as very bad as it somehow automagically bypasses my "ban" on remembering the form fields...)

Ok, I normally think highly of your very critical view of a lot of privacy topics but HSTS? Yes, an outsider as well as the site itself may be able to find that you, at some point must've made a connection to a site at some point but from what I know, that's about it. As far as I am aware HSTS is more akin to a boolean flag, that forces your browser to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. What other data is stored on the client side that would make them identifiable in your opinion? If I am actually incorrect about this and you can give me some pointers, I would greatly appreciate it.

All HSTS cookies can be scanned by an outsider so that set creates a unique signature.

Hello Rob thanks for all the videos you have authored I find them most informative. I know you have talked about TOR, the onion structure and the multiple nodes excreta. Not being a typical browse have you done a focus on the TOR browser. It's strengths and weaknesses a how to on configuring it from the same perspective as this video if so I want to see it. If not I want to see it

Recently Snowden said (Bitcoin keynote), I am paraphrasing as I can't recall the exact words, " If you have to go thru a ton of circumvention and high tech magic to not be tracked, that's NOT freedom". I couldn't agree more! So the takeaway here for me is start fighting for our freedom at the state level, and pray for our country, 2 Chron 7:14

Shouldn't any cookies be destroyed if the browser is deleted then re-installed? If anythig persists past that point it has escaped the app layer, and is considered an attack on the device making it a virus.

I learned heaps from this video. I never considered that javascript might capture autofill data even if i delete it out of the input box before i submit. You mention watching youtube videos in a browser, i assume because you dont want to install the app, understandable. Is this the case with all the google services you use? Maps, search, gmail, docs etc? I’m forced to use google authenticator app for 3 different sites, is there a better option than having this app installed?

De-Googled phones cannot run Google apps. Which is critical since the spyware is tied to a Googled phone and not removable

Brave also spies I've been using Safin Portmaster foir a while. You'd be 🤯if you saw how many connections and where they goto if you could check themé Portmaster has a free version and is open software. Click on the active connections tab and see the lot and to where they goto. Now available for Windows, PC security channel released a video about it. Look it up. P.S. I use Brave only for youtube. I use 4 different browsers. The other ones are Firefox or forks of

I use Brave but I don’t necessarily trust it any more than any other browser because they usually fall into one of two categories. 1) They either use googles algorithm so they’re compromised. 2) At some point in the future they are sold to a front company owned by google and then harvest your data.

Well, that explains how Humble Bundle so so often has book bundles about the stuff I was looking into to the past week. I'm sure it's not tailored exclusively to me personally, but if they can see the interests of their visitors, it's pretty easy to then offer anything related to that topic the next week.
