6:25 - As far as the Ross Ulbricht library situation, it wasn't that he was "trying to he a hero", as you once said". Here's what actually happened: two officers created a fight. When Ross was sitting in the library with his laptop, the agents knew they could not just rush him, cause he most likely would have just hit the kill switch. So what happened was that the 2 agents started a fake fight and when at one point when of them raised their voice, Ross turned around to look. Unfortunately, that split second of our natural reaction was all it took for a third one to grab the computer, while the others grabbed Ross himself. Ross didn't walk over to anyone, he didn't try to "play the hero", as you once said.

[@4erepX]

Good guide, but the thing is , you can achieve decent security from any device if you just SSH to a dedicated server (rented using monero or any other anonymous method) and by using some tor/proxychains . You can change this servers like once in a week or month (depending on your business). And to avoid being compromised u can just setup your own VPN server that will act like a bridge between your PC and Wi-Fi router. So your PC won’t connect to the Wi-fi manually, traffic will always go through some Raspberry PI with VPN on it. Plus you can just carry it around with you and use it with Public Wi-fi which will make really hard for anyone to identify your activity.

Whonix is theoretically more secure than Tails. Because Whonix uses a separate virtual machine for routing all traffic to tor (gateway) even if you fuck up and infect your workstation VM, it is near impossible to get your real ip without also infecting gateway vm. Also it has more built-in anonymization tools and techniques.

[@alexdelarge9425]

The only advantage Whonix has over Tails is malware protection.

[@kim-hendrikmerk4163]

To attack a Tails machine you would need either root access to Tails it slef or BIOS acess to the host computer. There is no way to access the internet on tails without tor.

[@serpentixx854]

Yes, but if i.e. the screen or keyboard of your host are compromised, then whonix would be indirectly compromised too. Best would be to have a Live USB with Whonix on top in VMs on a persistent storage and do not use the host at all, except for installing the hypervisor and updating the system. That way you reduce the attack surface of the host, but get the advantages of Whonix.

Great Video. I had never thought of the possibility of using an antenna to connect to public Wi-Fi from range. That is very cool!

[@stigcc]

If they know you are connecting to a public wifi, they will find you, I guess. But, if you use Tails, then they would never see your IP?

Great video ☺️ I’m not a vendor, by the way, I just worked at a package sorting center for my national postal company. I just want to point out one thing people might not be aware of. I don’t know if it’s similar in other countries, but I wouldn’t have a return address at all on the packages if I was a vendor. I’d rather the package go to waste than it leading back to me, because you are guilty of possession and possibly distribution if you are sending or have been sent mail with illegal *rugs in my country; even if the mail was intercepted before arrival. Many countries don’t accept international letters or packages with stamps on them anymore, and will reject them, and possibly open them. They might send them back to you if you have a return address, or destroy them if you don’t have a return address. In the latter case, they will probably open it first, to see if there is any identifying information on the sender inside the letter/package. If you want to send past international borders, you will need a postal code or a letter/package label and possibly a special label made for customs authorities in the receiving country before countries accept the mail. These codes are unique for each letter/package. Most of these labels are bought online in my country, and you will receive a receipt to your chosen email, and will have to pay with a card. These labels require a return address before allowing you to buy them. Even if they don’t require a return address, I’m pretty sure the police are able to connect the payment card with the unique letter/package label, if they are really insistent on finding the sender. However, if you are able to send internationally with stamps, like within the European Union, which has free movement of goods between member countries, then do that. Remember not to lick the stamps (because of DNA), and it would be advisable to only handle the letters/boxes with gloves on, because many countries have national databases of fingerprints now due to the new biometric passports (the majority of Europeans have passports). This might seem insane and tinfoil hat worthy, but these are things that CAN happen, but probably won’t if you are a small vendor. It’s worth going a bit overboard, in my opinion, when you have taken all these steps to stop tracking online, and then risk being caught because of a relatively low tech mistake when mailing things.

[@maricelaguzman2965]

They use return addresses of businesses that they are not associated with.

[@Lemonz1989]

@@maricelaguzman2965 Do they use just any random business as a return address? That would, however, still leave the problem with payment cards possibly being associated with postal labels.

[@maricelaguzman2965]

@@Lemonz1989 NO LOL. Bro.... The vendors do not pay postage with their card that's in THEIR name that would be idiotic. They use crypto postage services and most likely theyt have runners that drop their packages.

[@Lemonz1989]

@@maricelaguzman2965 Where on earth would you pay for postage with crypto? El Salvador?? It’s literally impossible in Europe, as far as I know. And it’s extremely difficult, if not illegal, to get an anonymous payment card in Europe, due to money laundering laws. And crypto isn’t anonymous either. Only Monero, of the major currencies, is completely anonymous.

[@stigcc]

Not sure why using regular stamps is a bad idea. If you don't leave fingerprints or DNA on them, they are not possible to track back to you.

You can also password bind the hard drive or ssd through the bios. Once that is done, you can encrypt the drive with hardware/software encryption. To get even nuttier, you can keep a separate encrypted volume that is stored within said volume. I think truecrypt (not sure if that is still around) but they used to offer a false encrypted volume that “looks” real but there is a hidden encrypted partition within it. Kinda trippy.

It's been about 8 years since I looked into opsec and the same practices ar still relevant.

[@roboticbrain2027]

The reasoning behind a separate laptop comes from a real concern about firmware level viruses. At least theoretically it is possible to persistently compromise a device in a way which is undetectable by the running OS. There have been numerous research papers about it. However if that happens, I'm not sure if Tor etc. would do you any good anyways.

Actually too you wanna unplug power from the computer after using TAILS. Technically keys may still be extractable for a bit. Also any computer with Intel ME or AMD PSP are other attack surfaces to be aware of.

[@davidstocker2278]

A good bit of advice I heard from SIM. No one in jail was too paranoid

[@poprawa]

Separating hardware is proper way to go as if main and darknet machines are on in the same time there is no way to proof remotely by correlation, that one fingerprint is always off when second one is on. When working on years of aggregated data this method can really precisely point who owns what

[@poprawa]

live cd first off when second on, and vM first on when second on and second disconnects before first does. It is not about who to hack, but who to raid

[@seekingagreatperhaps6391]

If I was in charge of interdiction efforts, I would put a lot of resources into the weakest leg of the darknet supply chain, the postal system. I'd be using AI to spot patterns, and I'd do a heck of a lot of random, passive scans of packages using machine learning to determine what is normal and what is not - weight/size of package, odor detectors, x-ray, and so on. And I mention this just to underscore that for all of this digital opsec, once a package is in the mail with your name on it, that's probably the biggest risk, and it is also the thing you control the least. I wouldn't bet on whether Darknet markets as a main source of non-government-approved goods will become more or less viable in the future, because they will keep building up government infrastructure around the postal service and they will strong-arm the big shipping companies the way they did a certain telecom some years ago with that room in San Francisco: they will make these companies an offer they can't refuse.

[@rotteegher39]

6:47 about the screen polarizer. If you are technical and have some tools and know what you are doing you can peel of the polarized layer of the screen so it would show only as white screen backlight. You can buy or make specialized glasses from this peeled polarizer to polarize the light that is coming from the white monitor to see what's actually it's displaying. Others with naked eye would only see you staring at the white screen with some glasses on that would let you see the contents on the monitor.

[@SouthPeter98]

That's super silly, immediate give-away that you're up to no good to anyone that sees the screen. Anyone can search what that is only and put the polarizing film over a normal camera and point it at you. There are only downsides with this, on top of it making you look like a creep
