- Don't be fooled ... Occupy The Web (OTW) tells us the hard truth about being anonymous online. The brutal truth: Will using your neigbors wifi keep you anonymous? Can you hide from the NSA? Can you hide from Google and other companies? Will Tor help you? Will Proxy Chains help? Which phone do you need to use - Android or iPhone or something else? Which operating system - Windows, macOS or Linux? What is the truth? What do you need to use?

There is no secure browser or programs that can keep you anonymous if we continue to use the same communication protocols and ports 🥷
@@MegaHax elaborate
Over a decade ago I took a class in network security that was taught by a retired navy intelligence officer. One thing he taught us that has stuck was: "The only secure computer is one that is not connected and can not be physically accessed. Once a machine is accessible, it is no longer secure. The form of access doesn't matter -- physical access, network access, it all compromises the security of the machine. The line you will need to define in your future career is going to be the line between secure and accessible. A machine that can't be accessed can't be used, so while it is secure, it isn't useful. The more accessible a machine, the more usable it becomes -- and the less secure. The policies you write for your company are going to be a negotiation of that line between accessibility and security."
"Air gapped"
That’s a quite a bit of words you remember from a decade ago
He wasn't aware of air-gap techniques used over 10yrs ago to communicate with any device via WiFi or Bluetooth. The device did not need to be connected to the Internet as whatever it was near could report the proximity.
If you removed all RF devices and never plugged it in, you might find that people marked as targets would have to use something like USB storage to view files. Depending on the sites they were obtained from depends what was in them and what they did.
Your off the shelf firewall will not help.
The only decent firewall for stopping NSA and GCHQ was by Kaspersky, but they were also spying on you!
@@Bond2025
Any sources or search terms for these air-gap techniques? Sounds fascinating.
thats so true, just look how the sildroad dude got arrested, social engineering and boom, iirc he had a panic button on his laptop that would normaly brick it but he stand up and helped that woman ... crazy if you think abt it.
What I hate about the NSA the most is that they’re letting too many abusive cybercriminals get away with stuff these days but common people still have suffer online privacy issues.
They no longer have eyes on good cyber criminals. So they bother the rest of us,
That is by design, the constitution is a Joke to those people, they use it like a boy scout metal as they commit crimes.
And rich people can get away with not paying millions in taxes while you and me will get audited for not claiming $700 on our taxes. Best thing to do is accept it and adjust you actions accordingly. Unless you are born into that elite ultra-rich class of people you're screwed. Even if you cold earn or steal enough money to be considered one of the top tenth of a percent of the wealthy they would know you came from outside of their class and not going to be accepted into the club by your wealth alone. The one thing we have to get over the ultra-wealthy elites is something they are doing everything they can to disrupt is our numbers. If we could all just come together as one unified people against these elites then they could not stop us from taking them down. But that's not likely to happen is it? We are kept splintered into little antagonist factions at every level: Politics, race, gender, coke vs pepsi, you name it, the elites are behind all efforts to label us and wall us off from the one thing that is more important that those manufactured labels and unites us all into one massive collection is our status as human, non-elite. Or what I wold call human, if you allow me to consider the "elites" as non-human. They seem to lack humanity so I think it applies. Keep up the fight and don't let the bastards keep down my bother.
Reminds me of some lyrics from dude named Daylyt
"Who all up on the deep web? My P.O. , yeah we know"
Yk the british empire and its network of financial monopolists were the ones who invented global narco and human traffick.
They been laundering money from all that sht before it was even illegal .
You best bet their successors the globalists are profiting from and enabling all the criminal sht that goes on on the dark web .
😂
That's what they want
Cookie is a a euphemistic rename of the word "tracker." Cookie = tracker.
My motivation to keep fighting for my privacy is that shit might not happen now, but in the future when my life is a lot more meaningful to me, they might also be a lot harder on how they control us. I hate being controlled, so I decide to learn and do now so I can be ghost later.
1000%
And this "guru" is not very smart. A lot of gaffes. @bulliontoy. Yup: Doesn't use filename completion. Doesn't know it's not necessarily a bug to not have a (public) IPv4 address when on TOR.
And how exactly are 'they' controlling you? By forcing you to do mainstream things like going to shop, or doctor, or work? 🤣
@fifski exactly what a mind controlled person would say 😂

My space?
Absolutely love David's channel and wanted to add to the OPSEC recommendation of not carrying your personal phone with u to buy a burner- even more important than that caveat, one must NEVER carry around both your personal and burner phone with u at the same time. Any 3-letter or law enforcement agency can create a map of date & time where both your devices are pinging the same celltowers at the same time, thus tying u to the burner with circumstantial evidence. I like to think of the personal cell and burner as your wife and mistress, both should not know of each other much less be in the same place at the same time. And no, this wasn't a reference to infidelity...stay safe
Yeah, and leave the burner on airplane mode unless you actively need to use it. IMSI catchers are deployed at most protests these days, if your phone isn't reaching out to cell towers it won't connect to a Stinger either.
I usually can't sit through long videos but I have to say, listening to OTW kept my attention to the very end. David, you did a great job in allowing him to share his straight forward and easy to follow info on keeping safe online. You asked the right questions and summarized in a succinct manner. Excellent!
Banger of an interview! We must have more OTW content David. Fulfill your destiny!
lol... glad you enjoyed the video! Definitely want to get him back much more often!
@@davidbombal thanks for what you do. Simply the best. you guys with OTW owe us an interview with a Ukrainian hacktivist that are defending their homeland from russian cyber invasion on top of kinetic invasion. You had an interview with a russian young dev. And this is not fair. Give Ukrainians a chance to speak out.
OTW has spoken about Ukraine a lot in our interviews. Watch a few of the interviews with him like this one: czcams.com/video/GudY7XYouRk/video.html
@@davidbombaloh trust me©️ we watched ALL your videos! Thanks for what you do again. Just would like to head one of many Ukrainian infosec experts from the trenches of World Cyber War 1. I think it will be a hot content. Just pinch it to him he can get someone to agree for the interview.
In the uk, a guy gets stung for trying to meet children online, all while another police department are watching and gathering evidence on his neighbour who has stolen his identity, and is posing as him to meet children online - they let the innocent guy's life get demolished because they didnt want to blow their case, he lost everything - so yeah, they know if you use the neighbours wifi
I wonder if they'd know if you use some random other person's wifi some distance away, by using wireless-to-wifi relay. Imagine a battery-powered device with something like a RaspberryPi, the wifi connects to someone's wifi, and a wireless adaptor with a sim card to get on the phone network. Dial that phone number and you're using that other person's wifi from miles away.
with a sim card
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was stuff being talked about 3* decades ago in the early 90s. What is being described as anonymity here, is really pseudoanonymity. There is no such thing as actual anonymity online.
I like to think of the internet as standing in a conceptual digital square wearing a name tag. You can put a disguise on and cover your name tag, but if someone really wants to know who you are, or someone who already knows you and is paying attention comes along your efforts are for nothing.
You are more anonymous in real life than you are online. So if you're looking for privacy, the ultimate hack is to take offline and into the real world everything you can.
30 decades ago, that is 300 years ago 😋
@@askfaisalmuslim Nope.
Definitely 🖊
This is the truth
What I like about this episode, apart from all the very useful suggestions, is the constant warnings about how how difficult it is to be 'hidden' online! This is so very true. The mention of of having multiple identities and completely different behaviors in the different identities is very important.
Note: Having different identities for social media and emails is useful anyway to help protect you from 'trolls' and people who like to 'bully' you online.
Thanks for sharing this it really is very useful information indeed. :)
Now you abuse. Harassment on multiple identity
@@Neighborhoodcarpetcleaners You are confusing me with someone else. I only use this userid on YT and similar services. I only reply to people in comments. I don't like harassment or bullying done to me. I don't do it to others.
Beware of the 'troll's. They user similar usernames to confuse real people. It is what they do.
If you want ultimate PERSEC where you'll never be caught, then you start here: buy a laptop with a gift card or cash. Giftcard should only be bought with cash and a mask on. Also make sure you made it to the store untraced by any public recording cameras where it wouldn't see your face or a license plate perhaps.
The laptop should be used with layers of encryption/VPN, and in a location far from your house. Once you have what you need, your files should be placed in an external harddrive outside the laptop. The laptop should be placed inside a faraday case and hidden away. The location you're at should also be untraced by any public cameras that could see your vehicle or face. But with the layers of encryption, it would take government hackers too long to trace the location. And by the time they do, you will have been gone for days.
@@moshedayan9253 Just buy your hardware used, why go through all that crap with gift cards
Much, MUCH appriciation to the both of you David. As a aspiring Cyber Engineer, it's like you guys answer all the little and big questions I think lol Thank you!
I know who the 'faceless ' man is - he is my neighbor 😭😭😭
Dunno wtf a cyber engineer is supposed to be but heads up OTW is a clown

Besides quality content, this really feels like a thriller podcast I'm watching. I absolutely love it.
Man thank you for this interview! Alongside the instructions, I was able to find a far easier way to setup configure and launch firefox and the TOR browser onto a daisy-chain of proxies! One step closer, MY MAN! Liked and subbed, usually don't sub to big channels but you are another Louis Rossmann, big enough but good enough messages to not pay attention to. (R2R 4 Eva!)
Ü😅
This episode has confirmed many of my suspicions and opened my eyes to a few more. Thank you for sharing some really good information. Great video from an awesome channel 👏
Wild, I was JUST pondering this very question two nights ago. I've used Tor on and off since maybe around 2007 and since then, I've become a sysadmin. I'm always thinking about cyber security and how I can improve it. I figured the NSA pretty much had a handle on Tor. Good info in this vid, thanks!
I would not be surprised if NSA and every other national spy agency has at least one TOR node.
Another great video... The limitation of this technique, is not being able to use burpsuite for MITM and proxychains... However, adding a SOCKS TOR proxy to burpsuite, diverts outbound traffic through the TOR network... without proxychains
I’ve cut back on fun spending because all my budget items have increased. Utilities, gas and food keep going up. Summer is expensive anyway. Great video!
great interview. as OCTW said...even he...is not anonymous to some people that have resources,time and skills. great interview Dave. Great presentation. i believe you must create a course for footprinting etc. or even as an end user..if someone attacks you , some basic forensics and if you have a chance to find by yourself this neighbour ...it will be valuable.
David, I am watching both of you with much anticipation and realizing how fast the world is moving away from my limited understanding of the basics of computer science. what brought me here is the frustration state I am in for the past two weeks. I recently discovered that all my social media accounts have been hacked. My inbox is full of warning and threatening emails.!!
I need your help if you can please.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Nicholas
Dude no, call your police station, they should have a cybercrime unit. Also, call a lawyer, see what he says just in case.
So did you find out who did it and did you persecute them? Or did this just turn out to be a none issue?
Spent my young years finding people, before internet. So Groan.
That hoodie guy could be an FBI agent, anonymous ofcourse 😂
This is my favorite CZcams channel. Most informative and thought provoking hands down.
This is so interesting and informative! I’d love to hear more about using Linux as I’m a newbie :D this was so interesting and remaining anonymous is definitely not something you can do by purely using a vpn and I’m so glad you touched on that ! 🙌 great video
any vpn you buy is attached to your credit card :P meaning law enforcement can supeanoa it
I would LOVE for this to be a podcast
Great upload. I was USAF working for NAVY in a Unit voted Best unit in NSA for the year.
I used to work in intelligence over ten years ago, and everything he says checks out. These are all things that were taught to us. I remember reading the public case file that came out after the Silk Road bust and learning that DPR used the same cafe every day to do his browsing and I was like "uhhh, classic mistake..."
This is a lie. Police in the US don't go around knocking on everyone's doors just because someone in the area hacked from a nearby IP. No judge would be able to approve such a warrant.
Yep. Unfortunately, people are creatures of habit. Unless you are willing to go completely off grid in the middle of nowhere and forego nearly all electronics it is nearly impossible to not be traced somehow today. Even if you go off grid I am sure any of the major government intelligence and law enforcement agencies will find you if they want to. Facial recognition still has a ways to go, that we know of, but with cameras everywhere these days who is to say they would find you just because you unknowingly walked by a web cam or came up on a picture someone took where you just happened to be in the background somewhere.
Maybe he stopped caring. There’s really nothing to hide from you megalomaniacs. It’s called freedom you fool
I think doing this is possible, you just need NOT TO sit in the cafe, you can just live in the city with a high population, craft a wifi cannon, decorate it so it looks not like wifi cannon, and here you go!
Yeah I couldn't work out how he thought that was a good idea, especially when he went to extraordinary lengths to keep everything else hidden
It's funny, how I tried watching Mr. Robot around the time I started my cybersecurity journey and I thought it was a good show but started losing interest during season 2. Fast forward a couple years later and countless hours of studying pentesting, I decided to restart the series a few days ago and its way better than I remember and so many of the small references make sense now lol. Including the exit node scene from episode 1.
Right on man, you watched it on Netflix??
Yea, its funny. Seems like me, 5 years ago first time i watched it. This series is muuuch better if you know what's happen on the screen.
@@prolificseeker4778>Series about hacking and technology
>Did you watch it on Netflix?
Lol
I tried to watch it since it was techy but it was boring at the time. I'll wait when its on free streaming
Seriously. For me, I'm watching it right now, and the references for Linux, Tor, Phishing, etc, make a lot of sense after 6 + months of training.
Glad someone spoke clearly about the use of AI in assessing & using our data. It does seem like AI tries to think ahead for us. It does seem intrusive. Just because I'm thinking about holiday cookies, doesn't mean I want them to pop up in adds everywhere. At first it made me scared that some mind-reader or psychic was harassing or targeting me via my phone. That's just how it can really feel. Especially if "push alerts" are not controlled.
Target super store started this trend years ago starting with expecting mothers and giving out coupons
Nice video Dave. But strange you're not discussing Tails OS. Get a cheap or second hand laptop with 8Gb RAM (the more the better), a bootable USB3 port (almost al laptops from five years or younger have that) and a USB3 thumb-drive and you have a quite quick anonymous machine....
2 million soon! Can't wait to see what you have planned! Congrats David. You're awesome.
Thank you very much Owen! Hopefully be soon :)
How David still doesn't have 10M subs is beyond me. I subbed when there was like 500k, and I am very happy to see him having nearly 2M, and proud to be part of this community of secure conscious folks.
You don't have to be networking engineer or even IT. Just realize that big part of everyone's life today is in the internet and you should be interested in this topic.
Thank you!

@@thedapperturkey I'm nowhere near that good...lol
lol... that's a great comment James!
Hey David, thank you. This is good stuff. What is your recomended start point to be an ethical hacker please?
I think we need to shift the conversation from the ideal of anonymity to the practical compromise of pseudonymity, and just use anonymity as a benchmark for evaluating different identity defense systems. Only the designers need to dither about the Philosophy and formal logic. Everyone needs an optimally engineered solution.
I really enjoy these podcasts, when i have long drives i always put yours on. Thank you for doing what your doing David. Im really excited about the Pegasus video. All the best!
Mr. David I absolutely love your shows and try to do my best in viewing them all. I'm kinda new to this field but have found it to be what you could call an obsession/passion in everything to do with hacking. I've never heard of OTW and find him truly fascinating and informative. I appreciate all your efforts and the things you share with us all. Maybe you could have him or even yourself doing a show on AndroRAT, Android-RAT Hawkshaw, Dendroid, HaxRat, LaRat, Mass-Rat, Teardroid-phprat and WH-RAT. Maybe all the RAT's? I apologize if you've covered these already. As I said, I'm new in this field and to your channel as well. But thank you none the less for all that you do. It's greatly appreciated.
Don't play with RATs if you're new to hacking
Seemed like a serious anonymous dude, then he adviced crapmium browser brave lmao
he gets money for advertising brave.
Good news is there is whole world outside internet which doesn't care at all what happens online. Most of us forgot that and don't know how it works even.
I'm watching you off video, and i'm thinking i've never joins anyone or paid anyone to hear a see, they're material, but You caught my attention and I so need some wisdom pertaining to security on the net and More. I Have Some Questions And Was Wondering If There's A Way To Communicate Privately? THANKS, I'll Await A Response.
I like the way that you gather things for good purposes and you do. It encourages me to see any video you create, Sir. I highly appreciate your work. Keep going on.😊👍
Love seeing OTW on the channel! Great interview and information, thanks so much David!
Great info. One counter argument - An anon VM is way easier to quickly/cleanly nuke and dispose of than a separate HW rig is.
But your VM still carry your own MAC addr. Therefore your computer.easy to compare. Unless you will flash the network adapter (not all can be changed)
Informative! Thanks David and the anonymous guest.

Golden Nugget
when bad people exposing themselves out in the open in broad daylight proudly doing bad while people against them has to be shady, creeping, tip toeing in the dark like thieves. upside down world and you comply
Comp lies what are you a token pump? Got bit coin golden beaver local.
Thanks for all the great videos. Excellent content and guests, you know who, for example.
I’m almost 50 and I regret, every time I log on the a piece of tech, that I didn’t try to learn Linux when it first hit the scene.
My concern now, has to do with Microsoft , adding the WSL functionality to the stock options of Windows. When you read the user agreements that are buried along side and pertaining toWSL, it seems that it was not a benevolent decision to allow Windows users to access Linux. I hope someone looks into this because Microsoft doesn’t do anything for free. And the way the new user agreements ( that no one reads and blindly agree to) seem like the position Microsoft to take ownership of anything the may be created under WSL. I hope I’m wrong. If not, I hope someone brings it to light.
Thanks again!!
Linux is not hard to learn to use. It's a pain to troubleshoot though.
All the steps you have to go through to ensure competent anonymity doesn't seem to be worth the effort to hide yourself from unknown entities who have the power to easily find you anyways. And of course the more secure you are the less usable you will be, not to mention the slowness involved.
Great show... More Mr. Robot and wifi info would be helpful.
I love what you do boss , always I have to come to your channel at least once a day , one of the people that making change for the good in this world . I really have an immense respect to you Sir .
As always good content, I'm impressed with you I really like your videos usually with videos longer than 10 minutes I watch them between days but yours almost always keep me engaged.
The guest is incredibly intelligent and has great insight! Thank you for having him on the network.
On a dedicated flash drive, run a trimmed OS, custom configured for only the interface you plan to use. Complete with only the drivers for the exact devices installed, and any additional drivers for hardware you might use. Cut the OS to the BONE. Pre config to he is your swap file, set to a second flash drive, yes, a separate drive, not a separate drive volume on the same physical drive. Use Tor or another alternate connection method,, ( if using the neighbor's wifi, use at least 3, hopping thru three different homes, ideally choosing neighbors w/ 3 different ISPs ,)then running the chain link, then, share your connection to a secondary device, connect to the Internet thru the provided link, then , run tor, run chain link...profiles are the key. Create profiles of people who naturally would be searching for what you'll search for. Health- a mother, "how to.." a tinkerer, a 'maker", a jr reporter. Don't forget to make a few with your same name, and build them up on social media. Because they know you exist. You HAVE to be on the internet SOMEWHERE, right? Or dead....
Another thing that's important is to never mix your hacker life with your public life. That means as an example; If your turner phone is located where your private phone usually is located, that would be a no no, even if your private phone isn't there or off at the time. Treat all of the things you use that can connect to the web or to a phone company as a node and make sure that hacker nodes have never been online in, around, on the way to or together with any of your private nodes. If they have, you can get rid of them at once. This is one of the reasons why there are schools for these kind of government operators. It's also the reason why people who are working under these kind of rules don't do much else than this work. It takes up a lot of the time each day, just to do the smallest thing.
Yes, I'm a little techtarded myself but was always concerned with the blue tooth connecting to local devices possibly showing location.

It's only the black hat hackers trying to hide their nefarious activities. White hat hackers would rather be known and get notoriety that they're good and make much money.

When ever Tor and layers come up I always think about shrek and i was no dissapointed today
I’m super critical when it comes to seeing how someone “moves” around the file system using the terminal. I hope he was being deliberate about everything just for the sake of being clear to people watching because it was telling if not haha
The problem with disabling cookies is some websites will actually limit functionality or even make it impossible to navigate unless you turn on and accept cookies. How do you overcome that?
I also had this thought and came to the conclusion that I won’t sacrifice my privacy to purchase from a company that doesn’t value my privacy, and actively chooses to rid me of it.

I just want to tell you OTW, that you are a great source of information and knowledge. I now understand how dangerous is the web.
Please keep giving us more feedback on forensics/wifi hacking/ tracing bitcoins and tracing scammers!!!
Quality content as usual, Thank you David!
This guy must work for the government, he's not really giving you anything that makes you truly anonymous!
Say your suggestion
I guess it is all how you individually look at it. Because if you payed attention he spoke alot on several different topics on how to remain anonymous. If you can understand what he is saying or recommending you need to learn more basic services
There is no true anonymity on the internet. OTW said all that you can only do, is place up hurdles. You can only be as anonymous as your ability to be too expensive to trace. A government who wants to find out who you are will find out who you are.
Arguably the best technology and security CZcams channel. You cannot find this much quality content,even if you are ready to pay for some dollars.
hes beter than most of the jerkoffs on youtube dats for sure!!!!
I don't try and be invisible, but I do poison my data with many un-me activities anytime monitoring is possible. Exactly the same method for dealing with AI. They use your interactions to further train their models, so take action to break them with inappropriate feedback to the "AI".
Back in the day when email was first practical, people were concerned about NSA, FBI, etc reading their emails, so some percentage of users changed their signatures to include words like bomb, gun, and explosives in order to poison the well and make the scanning machines scan and store worthless emails as well as any that might be interesting.
@@ralphm6901 Yeah, I did that. Lots of fun to be had on mainframes back then.
I knew this from day 1.
@@ralphm6901I'm sure that really threw the NSA and the FBI off course. 😅
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus that was back in the day before supercomputers were invented and huge amounts of disk storage cost huge amounts of money, and there were no giant database indexing engines. Desktop PCs commonly ran on 8" or 5.25" floppy discs, and if you bought a really expensive PC it might come with a 10Mb hard drive. The theory was that the more traffic they captured, the more the system would be bogged down and the less useful it would be. These days, that's no longer true. Anyone can go online and buy a 14Tb (or larger) drive to add to their PC. Government agencies have petabytes of storage and fast search engines to process it.
Hi David, First of all, many thanks for this interview. I would have been interested about stay anonymous while webhosting a web platform. Does a webhosting service exist allowing anonimity of the owner of a website ?
an IP address has to be known... That is the way it works.. It would be like trying to find someone's house but not knowing their address. That by itself, may not mean much, but the rest is up to you... how much info is givin' up by the user resolves to "now we have something we can piece together"
The more info givin up, the more can be linked to the IP address. Get the picture ??
All of a sudden, you get to a point, where so much more info is online about an individual, you don't need to go at the user anymore. Its more convenient, and direct, but you don't have to. As now there is a better alternative to do it, (without your knowledge). Which is even more of a scare afterthought...
Recommend any add-ons for brave browser? Does they make u less secure?
Great video
Can you guys make a video on people search and how to OSINT other people, including yourself? Not like hide from the FBI privacy, but to show the kinds of tools and techniques someone doing the investigation would use. I think it would fill in some gaps.
David's content should be getting at least 10k likes. He is literally giving out paid information for free.
He is actually not giving away much information. He just goes on and on about how "they have other sources than the IP-address and so on". He doesn't get into what other sources - only that you have too understand them. This seems to be more of an hour long ad for his books and him.
@@carstenjensen3123 he's pushing protonmail, that's enough for me to switch off
Nah, this informations arent really that special.
@@atorik1076 *information
I agree with you bro he should have 10k+ views always as his content is amazing! But I gotta ask what is paid information? If you mean that others have taken the information and packaged it into a course to sell. Then he doesn't sell courses it's more like a show. Also, all of the information is available for free, and has been for decades, online. Actually, if you want to learn more in depth dude, continue watching David because he is great! Lol but also, follow some documentation that you have to read and do actions. Make a target and figure out how you can achieve 🙃
Damn Mr Anonymous sounds like DJ Vald his cadence and even his laugh just makes me feel like it’s him especially how he works with the Feds and would be the perfect guy too be in cybersecurity 😂😂😂
Thanks for those amazing infor, David my regards to occupy the web am sure I will be able to build back my workstation and how about when I got a question to ask.
I had wondered about something based on the burner phone. A wifi style device that can be located far enough from your physical location to confuse your location, buried or sited somewhere remote(on a roof?). You would wifi to the device using the biggest security key possible. I'd say that if you were geo-static then if someone wanted to badly enough, then they could still get you by electo-magnetic techniques, so you'd want to keep moving. A lot of trouble for the average person whose not in fear or up to no good. But the concept of presenting a moving target has got to be the best solution. I also wondered if it would be possible to just tag random cars with a network of wifi-style devices. Of course then there is the issue of the car(s) driving out of range. Moving target and no financial traceability to me are the concepts to develop on. Interesting topic just from a technical puzzle perspective.
"Electro magnetic techniques?" lol
Watching this video is already an identity reveal
Exactly my thoughts 🧐 but white hats.. does it even really matter?
Great show. I don't know Linux. but one thing not discussed were satellite phones? I guess if you pay with credit cards, they know who owns it. But if turned off is it like a burner phone? Is a satellite phone geo located? I would think. Any thoughts?
I love your programm David. Thank You so much😊😊
Thank you two for this interview and the hard "pills".
Also, I still stick with FF. Not only for "privacy", to avoid monopoly of "chromium" as well. Use Brave is keep the monopoly of Chromium.
Same, and with some tweaks Firefox is just as anonymous as Brave, but Brave hasn't been around long enough to build up trust with me either.
The mention of Brave feels like an ad lol. Brave has analytics (worse than Firefox). This guy seems to have pretty juvenile understanding of opsec, but a juvenile understanding is plenty enough if all you're doing is talk shows and hiding your commercial identity
@@luphoria It's good say "I use Brave" but actually I use a Chromium self-compiled by me"
@@luphoriaok.... so direct to something better.
Librewolf is the Brave of FF
What is your opinion on the theory that the more you try to “hide” (no social networks, no unencrypted traffic and alike) will actually make you pop up in certain surveillance monitors and makes you a special target?
According to this theory it would be better to simulate a “normal life” and hide only specific traffic in there…
Well, if we include the IOT Internet of things , you could mask highly sensitive data in what looks to be FOB/ GPS tracker / babycam type of traffic, e.g. mimic the packet size and frequency of transmission to match such devices. Depending on how much of telemetry you can disable from sending then not actually connecting to social media or Google ID trackers would be in line with IOT devices comunicating over the web. But yeah, if you don't know how to fully disable windows and browser telemetry AND it appears you're generating traffic that avoids connecting to Google & Facebook servers then that in itself could be considered highly suspicious because most people wouldn't know how to disable traffic to these platforms
I think that's absolutely true. And this will only become more relevant as AI and surveillance increases.
@@picketfThey have loads of experience detecting and breaking steganography. People have been trying that one for decades.
Its too late... any change to it NOW is not gonna make it better. Info is already on the internet... That is not gonna get rid of
Even if you go to the extreme and change names, address and what ever else could be changed in reality (excludes DOB), it still won't change anything that is online before the change was made... I guess, it would limit finding out, but these days if the governments want to profile bits and pieces of people, they will have no problem doing that. There will always be some ''key' piece of info and evidence they can get hold of "Peron X just changed their name to Y" so there is a link we can use..
You really only get one chance, and from then on it will never be the same.
thats the point with ppl tweaking their browsers to be "absolute anonymous" meanwhile EVERY website says bro just use the STANDARD browser settings with some addons and thats it.
Thank you so much David 🙏 and the Gentleman 🤠
Is it safer to set the exit node of TOR in a country like Iceland or Switzerland because of the data laws there?
A lot of this stuff is very logical if you know a little bit of how the basics of the internet work (ie. DNS, IPv4, ISPs, etc). I'm just a normal IT guy thinking of getting into Cybersecurity and I spent a lot of time thinking of how to stay anonymous and I kept coming up with "nope can't trust that, or that, someone else owns it, so they can probably see it". This video really validated a lot of what I was thinking which is what I kind of needed to hear.
Thank you to David and OTW for confirming that becoming anonymous while invaluable is incredibly difficult and is really all about what's it's ultimately worth and to who it's worth considering all the breadcrumbs that become so easy to leave behind. It really takes a lot of effort, intelligence and constant awareness to stay anonymous.
Occupy the web is amazing. Listening to the two of you on the stream has been one of the best streams I’ve ever listened to. Great content David.
Ryan doesn't know that there is no agreed standard for encrypting mail sent between ISPs so it all goes as plain text. Protonmail can see everything without the need to decrypt anything after they encrypt it for users. Law Enforcement love it.
He confused End2End with Encryption2Server. This is a common mistake.
@Israelisnotourfriend actually, if you missed it or you had already stopped watching, at 50m 50secs on the video timeline you will find them telling what OTW would suggest using as an alternative browser solution@Israelisnotourfriend
@Israelisnotourfriend
They said the alternatives, you just didnt listen.
And its not about "dont use them"
Its about "dont use them if you want to remain anonymous"
Most people dont care about their anonimity, which is fine.
@Israelisnotourfriend so it really does not matter, when it comes to your privacy. They did say don't use Chrome. As an alternative
Like an insect trying to stay anonymous from a spider as it jiggles around in it's web.
Great interview! Guys the real deal, If you're into hacking, windows should not be your OS of choice
We must have more OTW content David.
Not a topic that is talked a lot about, but what about researching the possibility to tap data from PtP radio links? In many cases I would guess this would be similar to WiFi hacking, since the same encryption techniques is often used.
Tapping data from cell towers could also be a interesting topic (if it is possible).
Point to point? Like wireless backhaul?
@@thewhitefalcon8539 Yes, or point to multipoint systems that are used by many wisps
Yeah
This stuff is interesting.really knowing this allows u to understand how easy it is for ppl to get you so protect ur info
My favorite thing to do is have a open network to just see what people do. Always fun to look
I think that it might be impossible to be anonymous, because at the Hacker conference we talked about a lot of other things, VM's,Screen Size, hardware heuristics, browsers. And the US three letter folks can crack all of these. The speaker was hiding from Russia and other cartels that his jobs was to attribute crimes to. He said he could not defeat the US cyber hounds. Even if you beat them, your traffic is the only one that is Anonymous. You then stick out and they can watch for that traffic. Hiding in plain site is the concept that would be the best chance of obfuscation. And staying on the move. And like the guest mentioned using starlink. And please don't do bad things in cyber space. Thanks for the great content.
And how do you suppose you're going to pay for Starlink? With an obfuscated credit card?
First rule, always use a private DNS under your own control.
What isn't talked about is how quickly you are identified by your meta-data.
Lets say you go to a public terminal leaving all electronic devices at home. You will quickly be identified based on how you type and what sites you go to.
How fast you type, how you spell, your grammer and more are all part of "how you type". This meta-data is so unique as to be close to a fingerprint.
Combine that with which websites you visit in what order and you are known.
He talks about turning your phone off, that doesn't protect you. A smart phone has 2 cpu's. The one that operatea the smart phone and the SIM card. The only way to turn off the SIM card is to remove the battery, which most modern cell phones don't allow.
The SIM is "pinging" (not the ping command) nearby cell towers every few seconds. This means that every devIce with a SIM is continuously located. Most modern cars have a SIM.
A sim card is not a CPU. The second CPU in a phone is the baseband aka modem
@@rpm10k. If you google "SIM card" you will find out that it is also known as a "UICC" or Universal Integrated Circuit Card. You will then find out that the UICC "consists of a CPU, ROM, RAM, EEPROM and I/O circuits."
You may also find some XRay pictures of a SIM card that show the tiny little cpu in it. Phones are starting to switch to "eSIM" cards, which just means that the separate cpu in on the phone and can be 1 or more virtual eSIM's.
The baseband processor is not a modem, although it can provide modem functions.
@@Slackware1995thanks for the info about CPU in the sim cart, but I saw an interesting line in your comment, "Use a private DNS server". What do you even mean by that?
@@Cubic_cathe meant that whenever you need to get an IP of resource you go to DNS server, which resolves names to IPs. If i manage to point you to my DNS server or hack current one, i will be able to fish your credentials from fake facebook for example. Did you catch a point?
You must not have heard of faraday bad or wrapping device in tin foil
You know this guy is really a hacker, because he wears a hoodie. ALL hackers wear hoodies. X D
Lol 😂 dude I do hard labour and I wear a hoodie all the time to protect myself from the SUN, what a non sense comment 😂

Thanks for this video and I will be back to watch some of your earlier videos, love your work
I'd love to hear his thoughts on the additional security of using a Virtual Browser for secure surfing (Network Chuck created the concept and made a video on it).
It still has to traffic the data such like a proxy.
@@bradley1995 no its worse- It's streaming the entire chrome or firefox browser to you, they can like actually record your screen and keypresses even if they wanted.
just ask him yourself. order and cancle a book of him you will get some information from his bank and business
He did not create the concept lol
@@russellstall169 pretty sure i saw some failed startup try to stream chrome into chrome before, and before that even there was the puffin browser that would stream chrome in order to allow flash to work on mobile.
Ooooh again this top duo. Love when youre doin interview together
Thank you Andrej! Definitely want to get OTW back more often!
@@davidbombal can't wait. Gonna listen this excellent podcast
Hello Mr. MoTi , i ask, would using a virtual environment be an option that resists leftover information? O, is it also leaving trace amounts of identification?
Wow, I unfortunately was the last generation as a kid that didn't have internet. When I was 7 i had my 2nd major surgery for a serious heart defect at birth, I had a tutor and was very smart, I seriously still remember my 2nd grade teacher's name b/c I completed all of the assignments she gave my tutor. I got to school in October and My class was on Long division and double digit multiplication , long division. I wasn't. I tried so hard , My big brother was in HS and homework would 6 hours 3 of which crying. Teacher said I wasn't trying or disrupting the class and put me behind the filing cabinets. ( i was on high school reading & writing level and my grammar was far ahead of a grade school kiddo). They wouldn't keep me back and that was their error, They kept passing me through grades even though I sucked at math & science since 2nd grade, I begged to be kept back. Most of my friends were one or 2 yrs ahead or one below, ALGERBRA KILLED ME, and I struggled with geometry. I just stopped going to classes b/c i liked algebra and with my brother I could do it but w/o at school the teacher called me a pot head. We got computers and were on Dos. I to this day understand what you are saying completely but have no patience b/c my accounting math is to the penny, I think it's because NO ONE HELPED AND I ASKED. WHEN WE GOT COMPUTERS IN HS. DOS SYSTEM, I HAD ONE YEAR AND MY BROTHER HAD MOVED OUT WITH HIS FIANCE and my home life was so messed up I spent 2/3 of that yr with my best friends family and was put in senior math, The teacher pulled me aside and asked all the right questions , He went through my records and knew I was in rock bands playing adult venues since I was a kid, I had had a scoliosis brace for 4,5 years as a result of my two open heart surgeries which done differently for aesthetic reasons 90% of young girls had to be braced , not all followed the directions or wore theirs, My Mother caught mine young but technology wasn't then what it is now. He pulled me aside about two weeks later. I was a day dreamer, on drugs, didn't pay attention, and many other behavioral issues were in there, along with school psych evals that didn't match up at all to statements made by half of my teachers and no one looked at the ones from classes i aced. He WAS FURIOUS B/C he found that I had been ambidextrous and forced to use only my right side , had photographic and eidetic memory last checked at in grammar school and serious dyslexia post 2nd heart surgery. None of which was used to after how I was taught, He went right to my computer teacher after he and I talked and I ended up in tears and between the two of them luckily because Intro to 'computers was new it was Pass or Fail, she passed me through so I could go to math with him for senior math but instead of computers and during MY LAST SEMESTER I WAS IN HIS FRESHMAN MATH FUNDAMENTALS. I did horrible in computers in College but was only until I could change my major. Im definitely one who learns by all my senses and I know Govt & Politics like back of my hand. and One math teacher is reason that I passed math part of Real Estate on first shot and was a nurse who had no issues with medical conversions. I am glad I found you.
Yes, really appreciate your work guys. Please bring all those topics starting with Bitcoin tracing/anonymity.
David, you should be proud for putting out such content!
hes good , beter than most
The amount of knowledge that I had gain from this video is more than my 2 year of computer information study
You did mention this but still: There is no such thing as truly being anonymous or safe. It's all about making it as hard as possible to find you and hoping that the person or thing trying to find you will not have enough knowledge or motive to find you.
