Online anonymous today - How does it work ? Does it work at all ?
-
I guess allot people here have already ask themselves how to be (more) anonymous in the web today, not only here.
Only because you have nothing to hide, you wouldn't have a conversation with a megaphone in the city and you surely would also not send your letters without envelopes. Privacy of correspondence is part of basic liberties in at least all democratic countries. If not, it should.
On torrent sites people are basically interested in VPN services. When i got ask i recommend privateinternetaccess.com which was recommended to myself by Riddler :police:
But at least since snowden's heroic deed some people might have ask themselves if they ever gonna be alone again in future in front of a computer?
Yesterday i did ask myself this question again while i stumbled over the "mtgox bitcoins stolen" news. I ended up on TORr in a forum where people talked about the Silkroad2.0 Bitcoin Raid. Well, somehow i needed informations because i do run a wallet myself here on GTRu for the Bitcoin donations. I wanted to know if GTRu might could be vulnerable as well. I have to protect my 0.6something coins in the Wallet ;D
What can i say, once you open up TOR browser to read "just one .onion forum topic which i found on a website" i was clicking around and found myself lost in a lot informations. I ended up in a security forum which basically was explaining how to "be anonymous" in the net.
Most of you guys aren't techies and already quite happy to successfully use our "not so complicated" community :crazy2:
But i am - so for your convenient consumption the Essentials: :cheers:I found people using "Bitmessage" for encrypted, anonymous, decentralized emailing which i directly gave a test drive :cool2:
@https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page:
Bitmessage Homepage]Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs.
You ever wanted to say something to me but you didn't dare? Well give Bitmessage a shot and send some nice words to
BM-NBYB1gQjaL63QfioVsKnGdy6XNBhAXdp Which is actually my private Bitmessage address :blind:Emailing is somtimes boring - I do like chatting. You don't like to talk in secrets to your drug-dealer anymore when you need more weed?
Or you just want something less buggy than Whatsapp for Realtime conversation and more???The solution is "Cryptocat".
@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocat:Cryptocat is an open source web application intended to allow secure, encrypted online chatting.[1][2] Cryptocat encrypts chats on the client side, only trusting the server with data that is already encrypted. Cryptocat is offered as an app for Mac OS X or as a browser extension for Google Chrome,[3] Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari.
Since it is opensource i gonna install a server for us in the next days. It will enable our team to talk private and secure in any country if they want and dont like to talk over our irc server. IRC isn't secure since we all know SSL is not longer secure. I don't understand why the cert authorities send you the "private" cert by email when you buy it. HAHAHAAH
If you liked this very little "intro" about anonymity share your thoughts But if you know other good solutions share your knowledge !
don't be shy -
This is fascinating info and advice, Joker!!!! Thanks very much!!! :cheers:

Nice, Just installed cryptocat on Firefox.
Tried to join the conversation and got–>Conversation name must be alphanumeric.
