I found this on another Chat Community. I believe many have copied-pasted it onto many other Chat Communities.
Iâm no net-wizz, and a lot of it is jargon to me,but I figured if it helps justone other person here, than it's worth it. Right?
I may be wrong.... but it's worth a shot.

YOUR COMPUTER:
First step in keeping your identity a secret is to mask your real IP address. An IP address is a number assigned to each computer on the net. Your IP is given to you by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Usually, though not always, it is changed every few months by your ISP. This number can identity you very easily. If an agent, any cyber agent, had your IP he could easily have the billing info in a matter if minutes from your ISP. Two easy websites to mask your IP are <u>http://www.anonymizer.com </u>and<u>http://www.megaproxy.com </u>Megaproxy is 100% free as is Anonymizer. What's good (or great)aboutAnonymizer is you can stamp the URL you intend to visit in it's main page (left hand corner) and it will direct you to that site through their "invisible" and "untrackable" network, where you get to surf in a total "cryptic" manner. Worth a shot difinitely.Another way to permanently hide your IP for free is <u>http://www.multiproxy.org/ </u>which provides a small program to mask your IP. Works well also and is more functional.
Now, for most of you this is probably as far as you would go, but I would go much further. Call me paranoid.Using the services I just described, you will anddo hide your IP from websites you visit, but your ISP still knows where youâre going and what youâre doing. ISPâs are required to report suspicious activity to the government. Besides what your ISP may voluntarily give to the government, you have to now worry about Carnivore. Carnivore is the governments program that runs on your Email and ISP servers reading emails, communications, websites, and more looking for key words. Once certain key words are found (Like DECA, KETAMINE, EXTACY) you are reported for further investigation. So how do you view the web without your ISP knowing where youâre going? Itâs called SSH Tunneling. SSH Tunneling allows your computer to securely connect to a proxy server over an encrypted connection. All your HTTP (web) traffic is routed over port 22 so all your ISP can see is that encrypted traffic is running over port 22 from your computer. This connection is unbreakable even by the most sophisticated computers in the world. Carnivore is therefore useless, and so is any eavesdropping from your ISP. SSH is generally a paid for service, and can be bought and setup through <u>http://www.anonymizer.com</u> To get your SSH software I suggest getting it for free at <u>http://www.ssh.com/</u> (the non commercial version), instead of paying for anonymizerâs version.
Anonymizer is unique in that they set up there systems so that logged in users cannot be associated with what web traffic theyâve looked at. This is to ensure that even with a court order no identification is possible. Using an SSH connection will ensure your IP address and web sites you view will be private to only you. Now that you know how to hide your IP, do you know how to hide info on your computer? I suggest PGP Corporate Desktop 7.1 with disk encryption. You can do a simple search on <u>http://www.yahoo.com</u> orhttp://www.excite.comhttp://www.excite.com andand find a working copy. Once you have this software installed, setup an encrypted disk to keep all those incriminating files you have in. Once the disk is created, it will be protected by unbreakable encryption that you will need a password to get into. Another neat aspect of this software is it allows you to truly erase files off your computer -- permanantly. The Wipe feature totally deletes incriminating files. In case you didnât know simply deleting a file does not permanently erase a file, it is easily retrievable given the right software. Easily! Can you see how this PGP software keeps you safe just in case feds were to enter your home and take possession of your computer? Donât forget PGP is the ultimate weapon in email too, but too complicated for most. Thank god for Hushmail which I will talk about in detailin just a minute.
One other suggestion is that you never input any real information about yourself into Windows. Never! This information is very easily found. For instance, when you first use Windows, it asks for your name. Donât use your real info. Keep this in mind as Windows asks for personal info. What may seem paranoid shouldnât, this is a serious game we are all playing.
YOUR EMAIL:
Iâm secure you think, it's my email and it's as personal as you can get.right? Plus,I use Ziplip <u>[url]http://www.ziplip.com/[/url]</u> or the like. No!! Not unless you and the person you are sending to are both using Ziplip and you are using a password protecting every message. Simply sending an email from Ziplip is not secure! Let me repeat that again for the people who insist on using Ziplip incorrectly. Simply sending an email from Ziplip is not secure! Emails sitting on Ziplip's servers not password protected, can <u>easily </u>be picked over by Carnivore or Ziplip employees. Now I am not saying Ziplip is a bad service. It is in fact secure and safe if used correctly (still the issue of how to exchange passwords securely is a serious flaw in Ziplip). Now, since no one uses it correctly lets just give it up. Ok good job, we are all going to give zZiplip up right? I hope so. Now on to real email, hands down HUSHMAIL <u>[url]http://www.hushmail.com/[/url]</u> is leaps and bounds superior to Ziplip. HUSHMAIL is secure end to end. Period!
Emails and attachments are secure without the need for a separate password as long as both parties are using HUSHMAIL. This takes all the guess work out of this. Emails wonât sit on the server unencryped for Carnivore, and Hushmail employees cannot read them. Itâs so simple a 5 yr. old could use it. Itâs truly an amazing system. Please check it out. When HUSHMAIL first appeared there were rumors that it wasnât secure at all, well Phil Zimrnerrnann was brought on as chief technology officer of HUSHMAIL. He is the creator of PGP, and would never put his reputation in the encryption community on the line for a shady company not living up to its promises. Philâs commitment to the company gives me even more faith that HUSHMAIL is the premier email and web based encryption company on the net by far. Also another good feature of HUSHMAIL is that its subsidiaries <u>[url]http://www.cyber-rights.net[/url]</u>and <u>http://www.elitefitness.com</u> and <u>[url]http://www.keptprivate.net/[/url]</u> are all compatible with it. If you donât like using Hushmail, I suggest you learn to use PGP. Otherwise Carnivore is picking your emails for key words.
How does it feel to be watched? Bloody damn awefull! Correct? Right!
MONETARY TRANSACTIONS:
Ok, all sellers and traders on the Net -- please read carefully. What the hell are you doing taking money by mail from people you donât know ... well?? Where do you get your balls big enough to do so? Shame on you!
Sellers should view every single customer as a Fed or law enforcement until they have proven they are not. Are you going to give your address to a Fed? Well how do you know you havenât so far? Believe me, the Feds and whatnot monitor the Information Highway far more frequently than you or anyone will have you believe. Far more frequently! They have all types of gizmos and gadgets that frequently and randomly intercept into all communicational feeds on the internet. How long would it take a Fed to find out all the personal info on a PMB, PO Box, or Home Address? I would bet less than 10 minutes. Tops! Iâve never had any problems getting the real info using a PI even on a PMB. Then of course, once the Feds have your box they have it flagged, and for months packages are watched and let through then theyâve got ya. Ok so whatâs the smart thing to do here? I would say lets start by not giving out our addresses to strangers. Instead payments should be made electronically. Simple and efficient.
Only 5 companies make my cut <u>[url]http://www.evocash.com/[/url]</u> (I consider the best as cheapest fees), <u>[url]http://www.e-gold.com[/url]</u>and <u>[url]http://www.e-bullion.com[/url]</u> Western Union, and Moneygram. Reason for this is they are well backed, can be 100% anonymous, and safe. Evocash is my first choice as its fees are cheap, you are 100% anonymous with them, and they do not cooperate with law enforcement agencies as they are offshore and out of US jurisdiction. Sellers, I know you are reluctant to make your customers use these services, because they are resistant to change and may take their business elsewhere, but if all sources go to these methods we will all be safer. Buyers, when a seller wonât let you to pay by mail, remember they will be around longer and less likely to get busted taking your guys money with them. Wake up!
Good luck and surf smart and more importantly...stay alert!
