Conclusion

PrefaceYou want what you want.Invisibility. Anonymity. Ghost protocol.You've taken the red pill and have seenthe truth, and you don't like it. I don'tblame you. I didn't like it either. Butwhat I thought I knew about Tor andother incognito tools was only a drop inthe ocean next to what's really out there.Stuff you don't find on many tech forums.

They're whispered in private, of course,but it's all invisible to you. Until now.Which brings us to you and I, or ratherwhat I can do for you. It's amazing whata guy can learn in a decade when herolls his sleeves up and gets his handsdirty. Private hacker forums. Usenet.Freenet. I scoured them all for years andwhat I've learned isn't anywhere else onAmazon.Equally amazing is what you can learnfor a few dollars in a weekend's worth

of reading. That's me, and soon to beyou. Where you will be by Monday iswhere I am now, only without the yearsof mistakes. Mistakes I made usingFreenet, Tails, PGP. You name it, I didit. And boy did I make BIG ONES.Mistakes you'll avoid because after youread this guide, you'll know more than85% of the Tor users out there, andknow more about anonymity than mostFederal agents. Yes, even the so-calledsuperhackers at the NSA.If you don't come away satisfied, return

it for a full refund.But I know you won't. Because onceyou've taken the red pill, there ain't nogoing back. You can't unlearn whatyou've learned, unsee what you've seen,and you'll want more. Much, much more.First off, we're not sticking with thebasics here. If all you want is Tor forDummies, look elsewhere. Where we'regoing is dangerous territory. It's sharkterritory when you get right down to it.But not to worry. We've got shark

repellant and everything you need to surfsafe. You'll reap benefits you've onlydreamed of and by the time we're done,you'll have gained NSA-level anonymityskills with a counter-surveillancemindset that rivals anything Anonymousor those goons at the NSA can counterwith.Speaking of which, they won't have aclue as to how to find you.Secondly, for a few dollars you willknow every exploit those superhackers

like to wield against Tor users andmore: How to avoid NSA tracking.Bitcoin anonymity (real anonymity),Opsec advice and Darknet markets andDarkcoins and, well, it's a long listfrankly, but by the time you're doneyou'll be a Darknet artist when it comesto marketplaces and buying thingsincognito.Third, we'll go over many techniquesused by the CIA and FBI to entrap users.False confessions. Clickbait. Torhoneypots. It's all the same. You'll learn

the same techniques used to catchterrorists, hackers and the groupAnonymous and couriers for Reloaded.Baits and Lures and how to spot an LEAagent from a mile away. I break it alldown into simple steps that you canunderstand. A few dollars for this infowill save you a LIFETIME of grief. No,you won't find it on Reddit or ArsTechnica or Wired. If you're mulling thisover, don't. You need this now, not whenyou're framed for something you didn'tdo.

Fourth. reading the dangerous materialherein requires you take ACTION. TheFeds take action. Identity thieves takeaction. Hackers take action. Will you?Make no mistake - This is not a mereguide. It is a mindset. It's professionallevel stuff meant to keep you and yourfamily safe for a decade out, going farbeyond apps and proxies. And it's allyours if you do two simple things: Youread, then act. Simple. Because youknow what they say: Knowledge ispower.

No, strike that. Knowledge is potentialpower. Your power. But only if you act.Fifth. I update this book every month.New browser exploit in the wild? Iupdate it here. New technique foruncloaking Tor users? You'll read it herefirst. We all know how Truecrypt is NotSafe Anymore, but that's only thebeginning.Besides, freedom isn't free.Lastly. The scene from Jurassic Park

with Dennis Nedry, I believe, is a nicefrightful analogy to what happens if youdon't take your security seriously. Wesee poor Dennis try to get his jeep out ofthe muck in the middle of a tropicalstorm. Lightning unzips the sky and therain pours. The thunder rolls. Adilophisaur bounds upon him, beautiful,yet painted across his ugly mug is adeadly curiosity as it sniffs the air andcocks it's head at Nedry - momentsbefore spraying his chubby eyes withpoison. Blinded, he staggers back to thesafety of the jeep, wailing and gnashing

teeth, only to discover a visual horror tohis right: he's left the passenger-sidedoor ajar - wide enough to let Mr.Curious in for a juicy evening meal which it savors with a row of sharpteeth.The point is this: Don't be Dennis Nedry.There are far bigger creatures who'd likenothing better than to split your life (andfamily) wide open if for no other reasonthan THEY CAN, such is the nature ofthe elite.

Unless, of course, you tame them.Not bloody likely.

Is Tor Safe?That seems to be the question,alright. And to that, well, it reallydepends on whom you ask, because thereare always wolves in sheep's clothingout there who stand to gain from yourignorance. Many say no. A few say yes.The media, for all their expertise inthings political and social, come upwoefully lacking when something ascomplex as Tor is discussed.

Case in point: Gizmodo reported thatin December, 2014, a group of hackersmanaged to compromise enough Torrelays to decloak Tor users. If you're justhearing this for the first time, part ofwhat makes Tor anonymous is that itrelays your data from one node toanother. It was believed that if theycompromised enough of them, then theycould track individual users on the Tornetwork and reveal their real lifeidentities. Kind of like how the agents inThe Matrix find those who've been

unplugged.Anyway as luck would have it, itturned out to be kiddie script-hackerswith too much time on their hands whosimply wanted a new target to hack.Who knows why. Could be that they'dtoyed with the Playstation Network andXbox users long enough and simplywanted a curious peak here and there.These were not superhacker-level NSAmembers, either.But as is usually the case with the

media, this attack attracted the attentionof a few bloggers and tech journalistsunsympathetic to Tor and frankly,ignorant of what really constitutes athreat. The Tor devs commented on it,too:"This looks like a regular attemptat a Sybil attack: the attackers havesigned up many new relays in hopes ofbecoming a large fraction of thenetwork. But even though they arerunning thousands of new relays, theirrelays currently make up less than 1%

of the Tor network by capacity. We areworking now to remove these relaysfrom the network before they become athreat, and we don't expect anyanonymity or performance effectsbased on what we've seen so far."What those conspiracy bloggersfailed to report was that anydecentralized network like Tor is aprime target for attacks such as theabove. But to truly stand a chance atpunching a hole through this matrix,hackers would need Tor to implicitly

trust every new node that comes online.That doesn't happen.It also takes time for fresh relays togather traffic - some as long as sixtydays or more and the likelihood of beingreported is rather high since the IPaddresses are out in the open - whichonly speeds up malicious reporting. Thereal danger, and has been sinceinception, is scaring Tor users to lesssecure methods of communication. That'swhat the NSA wants. The CIA alreadydoes this in foreign countries. Now the

NSA is following their lead.

The REAL Risk of UsingTorI list them here before we dive deepinto enemy territory so you'll know whatto avoid before installation, and maybeget an "a-ha!" moment in subsequentchapters. As you read, remember thathaving Javascript on is really only adrop in the ocean next to what ispossible for an enemy to kill your

anonymity.JavascriptIt's widely known that leavingJavascript on is bad for a Tor user.Ninety-five percent of us know this, butthe mistakes of the 5% get blown out ofproportion and thrown into the face ofthe rest of us. Worse, many websitesnow run so many scripts that it seems asthough they hate Tor users.One site required over a dozen.

Without it, the page was/is/will be prettymuch gimped. Sometimes not evenreadable. You can imagine what mighthappen if you were using Tor anddecided to visit that site if it was set upto lure users into a honeypot.I remember one researcher claimedthat "81% of Tor users can be deanonymised."Bull.That 81% figure came about because

the targeted users knew little about theNoScript browser add-on, and likelymixed Tor usage with their daily opennet usage, providing ample data for acorrelation attack. But that was just theicing on the cake. They left personaldetails *everywhere* - using the sameusernames and passes they do elsewhereon the open net. Bragging about theirfavorite Netflix movies. Talking aboutlocal events (Jazzfest in New Orleans!).The weather (Hurricane in the FrenchQuarter!). You get the idea.

Volunteering as an Exit NodeAnother doozy, though not quite thegranddaddy of all risks, but still risky.On the plus side, you as a valiantbeliever in anonymity graciouslyprovide bandwidth and an "exit pipe" tothe rest of the Tor users (hopefully noneof whom you know) so that they maypass their encrypted traffic through yournode. Generous? Certainly. Wise? If youlive in the States. hale no as my UncleFrick in Texas used to say.

It isn't that it is illegal per se to doso. On the contrary, but what passesthrough your node can land you in hotwater if you live in a police state. Allexiting traffic from your node (i.e. otherpeople's traffic) is tied to your IPaddress and as others have found, youput yourself at risk by what others on theother side of the planet do with yournode.Lots of new Tor users fire upBitTorrent configured for Tor and suckdown all the bandwidth. It makes for a

very miserable Tor experience for otherusers. You may get served with acopyright violation notice (or sued), orperhaps raided if child porn flows out ofyour pipes. Think carefully and do yourresearch before taking on such a riskycharge, lest your computer be seized andyour reputation ruined.Running an Exit Relay From HomeRunning it from home is even worsethen using cloud storage, and is infinitelydangerous in the USA and UK.
