reasoning is that with the newest additions of Uuntu, they inde" and record your filesystem and

When ever I contact my arknet uddies I always use 0 encryption 2345 it 6S* to ensure my

messages, even if my connection got sniffed, never get read y the !-.

Some nice practices are&

'#ruecrypt your partitions, 7/8s, and other important files you need safe, always use a

hidden partition with false files and such ... idk go to hackfourms or torrent ooks aout

+y the time you are finished reading and implementing this guide, you will e ale to securely

and anonymously rowse any wesite and to do so anonymously. Ao one not even your IS0 or a

government agent will e ale to see what you are doing online. If privacy and anonymity is

important to you, then you owe it to yourself to follow the instructions that are presented here.

In order to prepare this guide for you, I have used a computer that is running Windows 7ista.

#his guide will work e:ually well for other versions of Windows. If you use a different operating

system, you may need to have someone fluent in that operating system guide you through thisprocess. /owever, most parts of the process are easily duplicated in other operating systems.


3/24

I have written this guide to e as newie friendly as possile. -very step is fully detailed and

e"plained. I have tried to keep instructions e"plicit as possile. #his way, so long as you

patiently follow each step, you will e $ust fine.

In this guide from time to time you will e instructed to go to certain U6!s to download files.

ou do A;# need #;6 to get these files, and using #;6 (while possile) will make these

downloads very slow.

#his guide may appear overwhelming. -very single step is e"plained thoroughly and it is $ust amatter of following along until you are done. ;nce you are finished, you will have a very secure

setup and it will e well worth the effort. -ven though the guide appears huge, this whole

process should take at the most a few hours. ou can finish it in phases over the course of

several days.

It is highly recommended that you close G*!!G applications running on your computer efore

starting.

CCC 1 & ;taining #or +rowser CCC

#he first step to ecoming secure and anonymous online is to setup and install something called

H#;6H. H#;6H is short forH#he ;nion 6outerH. #he concepts ehind #;6 were first

implemented y the United States ilitary, and these principles have een used to create an

e"tremely secure mechanism for eing anonymous online. In fact, millions of people world'wideuse #;6 to rowse the internet and communicate anonymously.

#;6 works y heavily encrypting your communications so that no oserver can see what

wesite you are really going to, and what information is really eing sent. It all appears as a

unch of random characters to any oserver. ou simply use the #;6 we rowser $ust as you

use any other we rowser. #;6 takes care of the rest.

/owever, #;6 y itself is not enough. -ven when using #;6, a user can e compromised in a

numer of ways. Eirst, some wesites can e set up to attempt to reveal someone8s true I0

address (their true identity) y tricking their we rowser or other software to transmitting that

information. Eor this reason, anyone who uses #;6 will recommend that no one have $avascript

or flash turned on while rowsing #;6. In this guide however, I will show you a much etter

solution.

#he second issue is that of human error. -ven if you have #;6 installed, you may accidentally

forget which rowser to put in a link. ou may also accidentally click on a link from another

program, such as a chat program. #hat program might then load the link you clicked on into a

non'#;6 rowser. When you are using #;6, you must e careful GconstantlyG that every link

goes into the right rowser, and that you do not accidentally click the wrong link.

So then, let8s egin. ;taining the #;6 +rowser is easy. Simply go to the following wesite&

http&99www.torpro$ect.org

;nce here, you may feel free to read more aout what #;6 is and how it works, or you may

proceed to immediately download #;6./ere is how to do so&

If you fill out a form containing your email address, your name, or any other sensitive

information while using the #;6 rowser, e aware that sometimes it is possile for an oserver

CCC < & Securing our /ard rive CCC

+eing ale to rowse anonymously is one thing. /owever, you may choose to download and

save sensitive content or material to your computer which you wish to keep private. #his may

include reading sensitive documents, viewing pictures, or storing any kind of sensitive data.

If you save GanythingG to your computer8s harddrive, then it is possile for someone who hasconfiscated your computer to determine what it was you saved. #his is often true even if you

delete the content. Eor e"ample, suppose I use the #or +rowser and I navigate to a wesite

containing a sensitive document that I wish to read. If I saved that document somewhere on my

harddrive, then it is possile for someone else to find it. If I GdeleteG that document, it may still

e possile for someone to undelete it.

Eurther, even if I never save it to my harddrive ut I simply look at it using my word processing

software, it may still e saved in a numer of ways including&

1. ;ften programs keep records of filenames. #he filename alone is often enough to incriminate

someone.

. ;ften programs keep parts of the content viewed saved for various reasons, such as for

searching. #his can include random e"cerpts of te"t, thumnails of images, and more. ;ften thisHpartialH data is more than enough to prove what the original data was. ;ften the HpartialH data is

itself incriminating.

#he ne"t issue we need to address is how to prevent applications and9or your operating system from

saving content inadvertently that you do not want saved. Eor this, we are going to set up a H7irtual

achineH.

* H7irtual achineH is like a computer inside of your computer. -verything you do inside the

7irtualachine (vm for short) will e fully contained within itself and no one will e ale to see what the

vm

has een doing. Ideally, you want G*!!G of your sensitive computer usage of any kind, #;6 or

A;A #;6,

to take place within a vm. In this way, you can keep everything private that you wish while still

using

your computer fully and getting the most out of it.

on8t e afraid of this sounds complicated. #his guide will take you through every step slowly and

methodically. +efore we can set up a vm however, we need to take another step.

CCC 2 & Setting up #rue=rypt, -ncrypted /idden 7olumes CCC

If you save anything on your computer, it is likely that you do not want $ust anyone to e ale to seewhat you have saved. ou want a way to protect that information so that you can access it, and

asolutely no one else e"cept those you trust. #herefore, it makes sense to set up a system which

protects your information and safeguards it against prying eyes.

#he est such system for this is called H#rue =ryptH. H#rue =ryptH is an encryption software

program

which allows you to store many files and directories inside of a single file on your harddrive.

Eurther, this

file is encrypted and no one can actually see what you have saved there unless they know your

password.

#his sounds e"tremely high tech, ut it is actually very easy to set up. We are going to do so, right

now&

It is also recommended though not re:uired that you HhideH this file somewhere less ovious. If it is

in

your home directory, then someone who has access to your computer may find it easier. ou canalso

choose to put this file on any other media, it doesn8t have to e your hard disk. ou could

for e"ample save your truecrypt file to a us flash drive, an sd card, or some other media. It is up to

you.

In order to enefit the most from this guide, you should have at least 13 gigaytes of free disk

space. If

not, then it is worth it for you to purchase some form of media (such as a removale harddrive, a

large

sd card, etc.) in order to proceed. #rue=rypt can e used on all forms of digital media not $ust your

hard

disk. If you choose to proceed without otaining at least ten gigaytes of disk space, then select a

si%e

that you are comfortale with (such as 133 +).

Ideally, you want to choose enough space to work with. I recommend 3 + at least. 6ememerthat if

you do need more space later, you can always create additional #rue=rypt volumes using e"actly

these

same steps.
