Rate my paranoia : OpSec | Torhoo darknet markets
My thread model is the government, the feds, glowniggers or however you may call them. I want to keep them away from me as long as possible. I am aware that when it comes to the feds, it's not a question about if you're gonna get caught, but rather when you're gonna get caught. Here's a simplified guide of what I'd do if I wanted to do some potentially unlawful acts:
1. Buy a used notebook from a second hand dealer in cash (preferably non-commercial => no receipt or proof of transaction)
2. Remove microphone, camera, speakers, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card (potentially even cut the antenna cables)
3. Replace the normal screws with tamper-proof ones
4. Install a privacy screensaver
5. Flash coreboot and neuter Intel ME
6. Install Kicksecure/OpenBSD (still undecided) with FDE
7. Potentially harden it some more
8. Connect to (multiple, never to a single one for over a month) public Wi-Fi(s) over a Yagi (a subject I need to do some more research on)
9. SSH into a VPS which routes all of its traffic through proxies over tor – all of which is paid off with XMR
10. Do stuff
Anything else I could do? I'd rate my setup a 7/10. Good, but there are definitely things that need some fleshing out.
