    Hey everybody, thank you so much for watching! Please read the information below:
    1) I apologize for the low audio quality. I lost my audio recorded on the Yeti while transferring files, so I had to use the on-board mic.
    2) I apologize for the video quality...I just moved to my dorms and figuring out a setup has been tricky. Newer videos look A MILLION TIMES BETTER :)
    3) CCleaner is getting more and more sketchy...Bleachbit is a great alternative and is what I'd recommend using.
    4) A mistake made in the video was telling you to hide your SSID. This won't really help you much...
    5) I am fully aware I own a RUclips account...and yes RUclips is owned by Google. This video is targeting users who don't think about this stuff, it's all about spreading awareness to people who are unaware. Do as I say, not as I do! Just because I don't do something, doesn't mean you can't use the information and advice.
    6) Because of time restraints, I cut off the part which expanded on Coinbase cryptos. This is NOT an anonymous method of purchasing cryptos, but just send it through a BTC mixer or convert it to Monero for much more private transactions. Shouldn't have cut that part out 😒
    7) Don't type your password into any site. Not a good idea, my mistake in the video.
    8) Google 2FA doesn’t contact Google, but feel free to use something like andOTP or Aegis instead!

      I realize I am not an expert in internet security... but...
      Why in the ever loving bloody hell on earth would you recommend ANYONE to use a password manager? Aren't they notorious for getting hacked easily and thus releasing everyone's "Safe" passwords?
      I mean sure it's easier to use one than keeping yours on paper...
      But there is this neat trick called using your brain to remember things. If you don't have a good enough memory to do this, then it's time to work on that.
      Because that is the most secure password manager out there provided you aren't a moron who shares their password.

      Dude, you're so full of shit you need to like, go back to preschool. Everyone knows incognito is the insurmountable, 100% most private protection method on earth. Take this anecdote for example. You're a master hacker using all of the tools mentioned in the video and some more that very few people know about. You're about midway through your hack, when all of a sudden, you get a text from the FBI for whatever reason. They've on their way. What the hell are you going to do now? They're inching closer and closer. You realize the one method no one ever bring up anymore - Incognito mode! You open an Incognito browser, and *poof*! You've disappeared off the map. The FBI agent can't find you anymore. Boom.
      That's what you call a verbose explanation of a meme. There's a reason why people say a picture is worth a thousand words.

      You can't unless you delete your account is my understanding.
      EX: You delete your account "User@yahoo/aol/hotmail.com" or any other account that feels better off dead I can now create a "new" account with that username but I will still receive all the mail you used to get. Possibly someone could forget to disassociate an account with the email and I would then own that too. I was always taught to leave them inactive to die rather than actually deleting them. Things change though and I'm open to additional information.

    I listened to the video and you missed one important fix. Do not use Wireless. Even if you turn it off with your software, you are still vulnerable. Take your wireless card out and disable everything associated with it. Us a hard wire connection such as Ethernet. If you don't have an Ethernet socket, you can use a USB to Ethernet adapter. Do the same to Bluetooth.

      Well you're doing an outstanding job at it! I would like to throw it out there to do a more in-depth video on stock iPhones and Androids and also custom ROM'd Androids (like you run) pros and cons. I am trying to get myself prepared for what I am going to give up to run something like what you have. I run an iPhone 6S as of right now (NordVPN, locations off, alphanumeric password), but am looking into a custom ROM with the Pixel 2 now after watching your video. Just throwing it out there as an idea.
      I have been searching all day and can't find anyone that has any videos on these subjects where it's laid out as well as you did. You're a heck of a teacher my friend! You are teaching this old dog some new tricks for sure! I had gotten kind of slack on my security awareness after I switched to Linux. My browsers are pretty solid but I am quickly seeing that I am not as "well rounded" as I thought I was. Again- thanks for taking all the time and effort to put this together. I will continue to send this to others so they too may benefit from your teachings.

    • @techlore
      @techlore  6 лет назад +1

      I will definitely add those to my list of videos to make in the future :) Privacy ROMS are an excellent topic which fit extremely well with the channel so I would be happy to do them.
      I would definitely try out the custom ROM on a Pixel if you are okay switching to a whole new OS on a new device. I moved away from Apple a few years ago and couldn't be happier with the switch! (I can't stand iOS) But honestly if you were able to switch to Linux from Windows, you are clearly tech savvy enough to switch to Android...and in my opinion, Linux is a MUCH bigger jump from Windows than Android is from iOS. I say give it a go!

    • @travisandmissydog
      @travisandmissydog 6 лет назад

      Thank you and can't wait!
      I switched from Android back in 2012 to iOS. I enjoyed Android a lot because they were open source and most of the apps were free (back then at least). I am ready to go back though. Tired of Apple's BS games with there phones and batteries not lasting etc... Probably going to be another month or two before I can make the switch back. Got the news today that I have to go in for round two of back surgery so I am having to make plans and be smart with my finances while I am out from work.
      Looking forward to seeing more videos in the future!
      Stay safe!

    *Information Security Content*
    FYI, you can still use a good phone and ghost. Using a archaic tech could do more harm than good.
    The Samsung Galaxy S5 is still a great device that is readily available to buy nearly anywhere as an unlocked device to flash to a carrier of your choice. You could also fairly easily modify a Nexus 5 to have the same capability that the S5 does, which is a removable battery.
    Regardless of what phone you're using, you can be tracked by the gps service on your phone, WiFi usage, background data usage over the network, and by your carrier quasi-abusing imsi privileges. Any time you place a call, your position could be triangulated by use of multiple towers providing service to your area.
    To get around these other methods of tracking, remove your battery from your device and keep it out until you're ready to use it. When you make a call, try your best to stay in one place to stay connected to as few towers as possible. If you use the phone on a consistent basis, mix up your schedule a bit. Be sure that your battery is disconnected from your device /and not just powered off/ when not in use.
    With an S5 or Nexus 5, you'll be well off rooting your device. However, this does not prevent your information from being compromised through remote access of your camera or microphone. One viable option that would set a user leaps and bounds ahead in regards to safeguarding their privacy would be to disconnect the attached camera*S* and microphone*S* on their device, of which there will be multiple. Use an external mic for speaking into. You won't have to worry about this as much if you're practicing good opsec and removing your battery, but it's a solid method.
    Security through obscurity is an important factor when it comes to protecting your real identity. It's always best to blend in. Because not enough people practice good security right now in this early era of security consciousness, practicing good opsec can actually do the inverse of what you'd expect and make you more obvious. Tor usage has actually gotten many people arrested for the simple facts that 1) not enough people use it in general, and 2) they never stopped to consider how few others may be using Tor on the intended website.
    The same reasoning applies to how you use technology in public. Am I more or less obvious in a crowd if I'm using T9 messaging on a flip phone while everyone else has touchscreen keyboards?
    Anyways, these are just more topics and more options to consider for the security conscious folks out there. OPSEC is a lifestyle. It's hardly stylish, but it can cost you your life if you practice bad OPSEC. Just ask the CIA.

    Alternatively, just don't do anything dodgy online and stop being paranoid.
    Also, two very useful tools that weren't mentioned but a lot of people swear by are Tails Linux and virtual machines. Tails is a complete privacy and security-oriented operating system that has Tor built-in and is a step above using just the Tor browser within your own OS. Virtual machines not only contain malware and hacking attempts but also give false information as to what your PC specs are in case anyone tries to track you down using data correlation and also to mitigate browser fingerprinting.

    Nord VPN is good but I had a lot of problems with it. Stability issues, compatibility issues so I asked for refund after 2 weeks. Tunnelbear is also fine but not ideal. Constantly disconnects on my phone but it is still the best on the market I think. Keep in mind that they all say they don’t keep logs but are required by law to start doing so and not inform you if the government asks them to.
    More and more of the public WiFi networks are starting to block VPN traffic anyway because they are free only because you pay with your data and they can’t sell it if it’s encrypted. Even some governments are thinking of making VPNs illegal or strictly traffic-regulated.
    Never buy crypto on coinbase, they need a photo of your ID or passport to allow you to withdraw which is killing the point.
    Also bitcoin transactions are pseudo anonymous and the exact opposite of private. If you buy your BTC from coinbase it’s linked to your identity and everyone can track how much you spend, where and when. Only buy crypto OTC if you want anonymity and only use Monero if you want privacy.
    For tier 4 privacy PC operating system the best choice is Tails. It routes not only your browsing history but absolutely all the data through tor, that’s updates and everything. Also had built in MAC address spoofing.
    For hardware - laptops and phones check puri.sm
    Another more customisable than Tails operating system is CubesOS. A bit odd to get used to, every file, every program can be opened in its own virtual machine but you need good cpu with many cores and lots of ram, at least i5 or ryzen 5 and 16gb for a daily use and motherboard with 2 usb controllers or pcie usb card so that you can map ports to VMs and you might need a KVM or second mouse and keyboard as well. Shitty, I know, but that’s tier 4 stuff, learn to like it.

    Also... tip for the smartphone section. Basically, if you don't have or buy a Google pixel/nexus phone and live in the U.S.... forget about installing a custom ROM. I mean, you can try and find an older phone thats vulnerable to a privilege escalation exploit (i.e literally what "rooting" is), but your chances are slim, specifically in the U.S. Been searching for Google phone alts that are rootable and haven't found one in over a decade. If you can't unlock the bootloader, you can't root. And if you can't root, you cant install a custom ROM. Figured I'd save a lot of people the trouble.
    Still salty towards our cell carriers for their bootloader locking shenanigans.

    Good video, I agree with most of what you said. One thing to note is hiding the ssid for you WiFi network might have connectivity issues especially with apple products. I recommend flashing a 3rd party firmware for more privacy. Well done!

    Having a secure email, txt messenger, ect doesn't really work because the people you're communicating with are probably using something like gamil. This means google can still see your email even if you used a different email provider

      You don't need a Google account to watch RUclips, plus this video is geared towards viewers who mostly are unaware of privacy invasion and what to do against it. The goal is to convert people to non-Google users who want to avoid internet tracking.
