Internet Security Walk-Through v3.1
« on: August 25, 2015, 03:36:15 PM »
People seeking info on another forum inspired me to write a tutorial for internet security and privacy. Writing this consumed me for the past week and it turned into a mini Ebook. I am not an expert but have started taking a strong interest in the subject for the past couple years. I'd like to share the info with users of drug education/harm reduction communities as well as alternative medicine communities who might be want to incorporate these protocols. FYI, it is quite long.




Edit:

v1.1 Updated with some small revisions and a 'EXIF Data: "Geolocation"' Section.
v1.2 Small revisions, added a disclaimer, SSH tunneling, Public WiFi dangers, rewrote open-source router firmware section to include OpenWRT and LibreCMC.
v1.3 Small revisions and blocking webcam.
v1.4 Encrypting plaintext/passwords with a compressed archive (tar or zip).
v1.5 Added details on KeePassX for password storage and encryption. New software highlight: Demonsaw for anoymous p2p filesharing. Added details to downsides of VeraCrypt and why I recommend other ways for password encryption.
v1.6 Added Which phone apps to give permanent root access and KeePass encrypted passwords on phone.
v1.7 Added browser extensions for Chromium, Firefox and Firefox mobile. Extensions to block flash from automatically loading and playing on pages unless you click to play. This blocks flash exploits and ads. An extension to remove URL link referrer/redirect and takes you direct to destination. Remove the middle man and tracking. (e.g. Facebook tracks in that way). An extension to block Web RTC leakage. This is a bad vulnerability. Sites can use Web RTC to unmask your local IP behind anonymizing software like a VPN, SSH Tunnel, and Proxy! Removed Blur extension (unnecessary and closed source). Enhanced extension download URL links section.
v1.7.5 Setting TextSecure as default SMS messenger.
v1.7.6 Minor revision
v1.7.7 Saving KeePass password database in an encrypted zip on a personal USB drive.
v1.8 Bitcoin, Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), Wickr preferred to Telegram
v1.9 How to get Bitcoin, Email section rewritten (current email protocols leave much to be desired, link comparing and contrasting providers), Fix Url Links Redirect extension breaks some pages, difference between an unlocked and rooted phone.
v1.9.5 Ublock can simply be set on Firefox and Chromium to stop WebRTC leakage, How to block third-party cookies in Firefox, Cyanogen Mod's system profile triggers allow you to set your lock screen to go on when you leave the house and your car and to unlock when you get n your car or get home.
v1.9.6 mailvelope, added info to delete FB, & possible need to reactivate phone with service after new firmware/OS install.
v1.9.7 Note on opting out of Google sync: In CyanogenMod you can export and save your contacts list to storage, making it unnecessary to use Google for it.
v2.0 DNSCrypt instructions for Windows & Ubuntu, video tutorial for darknet markets, increase the cryptographic strength of your PGP key, encrypt your backup hard drive, Ephemeral Messaging, Choosing a Bitcoin wallet, Bitcoin Mixing, Tips.
v2.1 Cyanogenmod update cautions, esp. major version updates; bitcoin tumblers--replaced Bitcoin Fog recommendation with BitBlender and Grams Helix. BitcoinFog has a reputation for selective scamming; Netflix support for Chromium. Updates since 2.0 highlighted yellow.
v2.1.8 Added browser extensions and their links, Clyph encrypted web chat, Opera-dev now has free, built-in VPN, TextSecure and Redphone are now Signal, Signal desktop, Signal and Whatsapp info, minor improvements.
v2.1.9 Manjaro stable v. branch runs a couple of weeks behind arch repos which allows more testing leading to better system stability. Recommended: ProtonMail and it's forerunners. Typo edits.
v2.2 Many minor edits and improvements.
v2.2.6 Bitcoin ATMs, $40 open-sourceThink Penguin Routers with optional VPN service built-in, Clearing Google account history and ceasing logging.
v3.0 Entire re-write. Copperhead OS, Monero cryptocurrency, privnote self-destructing messages, temporary phone inbox, temporary email, Unsee self-destructing image upload service, Wire messenger.
v3.1 Added a front and back cover.

RandomDNS makes DNS secure. It's based on DNSCrypt but we've added a bunch of new cool features. RandomDNS aims to improve the security, privacy and anonymity of DNSCrypt. It can randomize the server choice at runtime and can rotate it frequently.

Features of RandomDNS
-Randomize the provider at runtime
-se (-E)phemeral keys option
-Securely run DNSCrypt proxy by verifying its hash, copying it in /tmp dir with restricted permissions and launching it as "nobody" user (if reverse proxy is enabled)
-Watch the proxy process and relaunch it if it dies
-Can run multiple instances of DNSCrypt and load balance the traffic (EdgeDNS)
-Have in-memory caching of DNS requests along with Consistent Hashing (EdgeDNS)
-Can filter the server list by protocols, country and much more
-Rotate the server with a defined time (default: 10 minutes)
-Support DNSSEC (EdgeDNS)

Thank you for the compliment. :D

EDIT:
This is a dope little router that's only 40 bucks. It comes pre-installed with LibreCMC which is the only fully opensouce operating system and firmware for routers. You can also get a year subscription to their VPN for 100 bucks and they pre-configure the router so it's ready to just plugin and connect to. With that setup every device connected to your home network will route it's traffic through a vpn.

You can plug it into your router or replace your current router with it. either way, it secures you

This company has awesome hardware including fully open source linux laptops and pc minis with like gigs of ram, & etc.

I need to update this but in the meantime.

Disable IPv6 on networks to prevent leakage.
See here: https://leaktest.online/ipv6/
The other leak tests: https://leaktest.online/

And since CyanogenMod has been discontinued.
I believe the most hardened free Android OS/rom is now Lineage OS.

Quote

It is the successor to the custom ROM CyanogenMod

•Trust - helps you keep your device secure and protects your privacy.
•Protected Apps – Hide specific apps behind a secure lock. This works hand-in-hand with Trebuchet; the respective app's icon is removed from the launcher, and "secure folders" can be created to easily access these applications. A pattern is used to lock these apps.
•PIN scramble – For users securing their device with a pin, the layout can be scrambled each time the device locks to make it difficult for people to figure out your lock by looking over your shoulder.

As LineageOS evolved through development, the Trust interface was introduced for all the LineageOS 15.1 builds released Wed 12 June 2018.[35] The interface can be found on supported devices under Security and Privacy tab under the Settings option, and enables the user to "get an overview of the status of core security features and explanations on how to act to make sure the device is secure and the data is private".

f yous send me Bitcoin,
(Bitcoin address: 89yHp9qwh8rSjsJgEz8E4dgmdj7TvWL4S6DRi7kJKSPbUiij1tbGaDPKpMJ1wfDZ573qPDY2EshbaZFnJRCwWnEf8bKFpqN)
Monero
(89yHp9qwh8rSjsJgEz8E4dgmdj7TvWL4S6DRi7kJKSPbUiij1tbGaDPKpMJ1wfDZ573qPDY2EshbaZFnJRCwWnEf8bKFpqN),
or especially MobileCoin,which Signal supports MobileCoin, a decentralized network. MobileCoin is built off Monero, which is secure but written with crappy code. If you's send some cryptocurrencies to support of my Internet Security book, I'll rewrite the entire book, add more content.

I have no time to work on this, between going to the gym, reading, watching internet security podcasts, and setting up an eBay business to sell stuff on. So looking for some support to motivate me.

I'm also gonna write a book on beautifying linux with and making it more aesthetically pleasing, and installing useful programs / applications.

like:

"Internet Security Book updates
Install permissive Tails Linux onto Micro-SD for a for a USB Drive.
Find and learn to use a Metadata removal tool.

JavaScrypt is insecure a JavaScript click play extension.

Decentralized VPNs
Element Messenger on the [matrix] network - private and secure
Encrypted Hard drives
Do Not Track track Requests
Block all cookies (especially third-party Cookies)
Session Messenger
Wire Messenger
DemonSaw
Tox
Tor Browser
Firefox - with it hardened with settings and and Chromium extensions
Brave
Brave
UnGoogle Chromium and add extensions
JustDeleteMe.com
(delete accounts you don't use, especially, compromised accounts accounts)
Install yay
Manjaro Linux
Garuda Linux (a fork off Manjaro Linux; Which was a fork / built off Arch Linux and uses built off Manjaro Linux)
hacked: (Amazon, Apple Touch and Facebook)
Change ports
Passwords: never use the same password twice
Reddit Internet-net Security Podcast
Keep Linux up-to-date, including WireGard
http://Https://AnyWho.com
https://PiPL.com
https://Tineye.com
https://PrivvacyTools.io
https:://Temp-Mail.org
https://HaveIBeenPWNED.com (Change Passwords)
Session Messenger (that routes through the Tor network,a decentralized network, and it gives you a decentralized address, rather than Signal in which you have to share your phone number with other users.
MobileCoin
Monero
Tor bridges and pluggable transports
https://darkwebnews.com/...s-pluggable-transports/ "
