First of all, absolutely do not use Windows thinking it’s safe. Use Windows at your own risk, I am not going to chance it. Especially when it is publicly known that since the release of Windows Seven Microsoft has been working the NSA, installing secret back doors to pretty much what ever they could scare people in to doing. The NSA can access everything that is accessible on the windows partition of your machine if its not encrypted (Yes, you can remove the back doors within Windows, but that is to say, you can remove the ones that we KNOW about, and I would not put it past the NSA to have a few tricks up their sleeves) I prefer using Linux anyway, I understand that some have difficulties making the transition from Windows to Linux, but that’s why they created man pages, my friend.
(If you don’t know what a command does, just type man <COMMAND> in a terminal, read the manual page, and you’re good to go. Honestly, once you use any flavor of Linux for a while, the scripting will come naturally and Windows will become obsolete (well aside from a small, encrypted partition for what ever Windows applications you can not live with out, but please do make sure you encrypt you hard-drives and make sure you disable WPS on your modems and routers and such (because it is a lot easier to crack a WPS key than to sniff out a handshake sequence, then crack that against a .pcap sniffing file). In windows, use Veracrypt, and while installing Linux, wipe the disk completely and encrypt it all with VSLM. Of course back ups should be made first, but an encrypted hard-drive really give me piece of mind. I do not do anything illegal even I just get sick when I think about Government Agents who are supposed to protect us, pilfering through my computers, and precipitating the demise of American’s Right to Privacy. Since 9/11. they have basically made The Right To Privacy a joke, and it was done in the name of Patriotism. My retort to their Ranging Rover Taps and Legalized Racism.
Anyway, so now to the technical stuff (Sorry it’s kind of boring, but our Right To Privacy as a Nation is at stake, not to mention our personal freedoms (which is a really good reason to put up with the boring) If we don’t take a stand and take hold of this situation now, privacy as we know it will become another yet another causality of war.
I am defiantly not here to tell you what you should do, mind you, just here to urge you to do something. As for which flavor of Linux you should (if you’re not already using one), I would recommend Kali-Linux. It is Debian-based (which even if you don’t know already, it’s still way worth it to get use to Debian-based distributions (because Ubuntu is cool or what not, but, all the sudooing is tiresome) and plus Kali is a security-auditing distribution of Linux, meaning it can easily achieve the things we need it for. You can install the same things on any distribution of Linux, it just may require a little more reading (but if you use Kali you can just follow these steps and then you’re good to go.
Now you should download what ever Kali*.iso is compatible with your machine (32 or 64 bit, AMD or Intel, etc) from Offense Security, install it and I recommend completely wiping your system (unless it is good already
and encrypting the entire hard-drive with VSLM. It is an option when
installing, do it, just remember the key you use because if you forget
it it’ll will be a hassle.After the install, go to this website and follow these instructions (things like installing the proper audio-drivers, which is a trademark problem of Debian-based flavors, but the pros defiantly outweigh the cons here, defiantly. This is the url you need. After those things are done, we need to install Viadalia (the gui-front-end-to-Tor), tor itself, privoxy, proxy-chains, and open dns (to prevent people from being able to see the dns address of the ISP you use). Also when making pgp keys please don’t put your normal email address, I recommend trying to figure out how i2p email or FreeNet mail works (kind of easier said than done, but the reward will be piece of mind and a clean, anonymous email address, because they are more secure than using a Gmail account, for example. Also, if you use your computer at home for accessing the DarkWeb, I highly recommend the use a VPN with these measures, then I would consider it pretty safe, or at least, way too much of a hassle for people to go through.
In prompt, type $’sudo -s’ for a root shell, enter your password, then enter these commands as Root:
If it were me I would just restart the computer (to see if Tor and Privoxy are both installed and starting during the other init.d daemons.) but you could just restart the services, but you’re through the process now. To make sure you are safe, check out “http://www.ipchicken.com” or “https://www.whatismyip.com” and make sure both your current IP Address is masked as well as you’re ISP’s DNS is hidden as well.
