There is One and Only One Rule In OpSec : OpSec | Torhoo darknet markets

"All those rankings about “the top 10 best VPNs” are paid for. They’re all owned by the mostly the same companies."

Those fuckers are patting themselves on the back, it's a circle jerk. Nord VPN sponsored blog saying Nord VPN is the best VPN. LIKE WOOOW REALLY?

May you heal, heal strong, heal well and come out with your hands in the air triumphant.

LOL. As I read along checking all of the boxes I realized, hey, he is talking about me!!!
Whoops, leaked my ip. No problem. I'll clean it up.

haha, true, it was funny though because he turned to me and said it suddenly, while doing his legal job.

Appreciate you!

When you say your own internet? what do you mean
Cellular or Private WiFi

you're too modest :( its some great wholistic info

Agreed

/u/HeadJanitor exactly.

Proton's privacy-first promise is so legit, one can pay for services using BTC, but not XMR... This fact alone speaks volumes!

I wonder how many have even considered what the exact purpose of the proton .onion might be?

A 'honey pot trap' has always been my suspicion.

In 2013 the NSA cracks down hard on TOR across the board and completely wreaks havoc across the Darknet!

At the same time in 2013, like clock work, protonmail is founded. During DN secure email take-downs, which is highly suspect.

2014 protonmail enters into public beta, let the data gathering begin.

2017, Proton Mail announced a Tor onion site... post clearnet trust and confidence building of the brand and the like.

The rest of the DD noobs can do by RTFM. Starting with the 'protonmail wiki page'. If interested, branch out from there.

Noobs, when you are sitting at the poker table and you cannot identify the mark, step away from the game.

The mark is you. ;-)

What I meant was if I upgrade Tails every time I am prompted to, does that take care of upgrading Tor? Or do I need to upgrade Tor in between Tails updates? Ty for the schedule that is rather nifty.

yes what i worried is ,lets say worst to worst i get caught and they compromise my pendrive

Thank you. I read on other posts, regarding this topic, that 50% of the Tor network nodes are owned by the US and Germany and therefore it would be easy for them to get your IP address, shouldn't you use in that case a VPN or is Snowflake enough?

If you post your security setup you give clues to attackers. It exposes your attack surface I think is the pro expression.

Noobs, take the time to read, reading is the key...! Always RTFM. Learn the rules, then play the game.


/u/HeadJanitor Your statements are exactly 100% correct! I have heard this with my own two ears roll off of LEO's forked tongues. Every LEO is taught this in their training, it is the very next commandment, after loyalty to their badge, lulz... For me, OPSEC is number fucking one. So many people today go down by OSINT it is not even funny. LEO barely has to work for it anymore. A person must always go into every situation understanding that one is being recorded in some manner.

People have become complacent, button pushing, swipe bots, which is very sad.

If I even think I smell Bacon and believe my OPSEC has been compromised, I will cook a system with the quickness. Build another burner one in a few days (with all new creds and user names) and get back up and running. Never reuse burnt hardware. All hardware is serialized and asset tagged from the manufacturer. Reusing old hardware is sloppy OPSEC and another way peeps get found, don't be cheap.

People always talking burner phones, but you rarely hear them talking about burner systems. Which for me is 100x more important than any burner phone. They are a huge problem for LEO, when you ghost them, they have to begin looking again from scratch. This helps drain their budget too... Never use anything S.M.A.R.T. you will be fucked sooner or later.

Noobs, take your time, never get sloppy, encrypt everything you do and do not let greed end you. Take the time to RTFM and trust no one. That does not mean one cannot further your education here, buy goods, do work or sell on the DN. I am simply saying never expose ones self, ever! No matter the promise made. The promise of riches, coupled with poor OPSEC which leads to easy OSINT for LEO... is what takes the majority out.

Greed kills! It is your greed that will take you out. LEO knows and are taught this as well. If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. Walk away from the offer. No matter how bad you want it, there is most likely bacon behind it.

DN message boards are more congested with LEO than any other public message board on the clearnet. LEO knows what they seek is congregated here, so they heavily patrol these waters. Do not become a victim, they are always lurking and participating. Always remember your OPSEC and do not deviate from it, period. Do not allow LEO to trick you via social engineering. They are highly trained and skilled at lying and psychological manipulations, be aware of this.

Also keep in mind that there are all flavors of LEO here. They all move differently, but have the same agenda. Which is to lock your ass up, get some cudo's from their boss and a bonerous on top of their nickle 98 pay check they serve for. Always take everything into account before making any moves. If your gut says some shit is not right, walk away.

Noobs, almost everyone here asking for crazy work to be done or asking for help out of questionable situations is LEO.

Remember, LEO are slaves to the System. The system is nothing more than the biggest mafia conglomerate in the world, designed by the oligarchy to squash all competition. A system of oligarchical power, which allows them to create more laws to fuck our freedoms and keep us under control.

OPSEC matters. Extract every dollar you can from oligarchy, avoid LEO like the plague, Fuck 'The man'..!

but its only about latency or some security issues come as well?

I believe latency would be a better indication rather than using the number of hops since tunelling traffic through their network is common.

Very good post, thank you for sharing.

my question is if i put DPN before entering onion just add extra layers of anonymity

Don't forget modesty and self-effacement.

Correct me if I'm wrong- couldn't you use Whonix as the source for internet of the VPN in Qubes? Of course, there would be a LOT of leaks- but aside from the leaks (which of course invalidates it) what else makes it impossible?

ppl there are legit?
