Here are snips of a discussion held recently in another group. I
neither concur, disagree or augment these statements, but they may
serve your present concerns regarding security.
Cheers,
Victor
(See below)
1. Go get two prepaid mastercards the kind you get from a grocery
store not visa- MASTERCARDS that's important you will need 2 $100 ones
or 1 $100 AND 1 $50 depends on how long you want your usenet account
to go before redoing the registration again, and register them online
with fake names, make sure you write down the name phone numbers and
all that stuff for each card so you don't forget which is which. Use
a computer or hot spot that is not reg to you like go to a hotel
parking lot or one of those coffle shops that offer free Internet even
a library can work if you don't have to give all your info first.
2. open an account with a tunneling program I use secure-tunnel their
out of Canada and cost $99 a year use one mastercards for that.
3. find a different or same public computer or a hot spot where your
laptop can get Internet service and open an account with a usenet
provider, you cant use the tunneling program while your make the
account they have to have a static IP address for verification I
think that's why anyway's so don't do it from home or from your own
Internet provider that's very very important.
4. when you get home make sure that secure tunnel is up and running
its real easy you'll see the tunneling program icon on the bottom
start blinking green to red letting you know that info is going
through there. then log onto the newsgroup you have an account and
have fun ( I suggest using Usenet.com. secure tunnel has a deal with
them and the program is pre set to use them so its just easier)..
If I forgot something please someone chime in and help this guy please
Good luck hope to see you post soon
Love LRR
Each person who decides to post sets the level of security they
are most comfortable with. It is important to research as best
you can and decide what works and feels best for you. The most
important things to remember IMO are:
1.While most News Service Providers now strip identifiable info.
from post headers, the provider itself still has logged your IP
address and it remains a part of that post. If LEA wanted that
info. your NSP would provide it. As you know your IP address
can be used to identify you. Therefore it is important to sign
up anonymously for a "posting" account and only access that
account anonymously.
2.There are various ways to achieve the above recommendation.
Some achieve stronger anonymity than others. In general, taking
a few steps toward anonymizing yourself will thwart attempts to
identify you. Most who get "caught" trading on the net, whether
it be CP, copyrighted material, bootlegs etc., are identified
because they didn't mask their IP address and/or indentifiable
info. was obtained via the credit card used.
3.You should Google "Dr Who Security & Encryption FAQ". While
the document can be a bit overwhelming at first, it is very
valuable and should be carefully considered. Also Google "Tor",
download, install it and learn how to use it.
Best of luck to you and be safe.
God Save Her Majesty the Queen.
God Preserve the Prince of Wales.
Rule Britannia!
