IP Addresses, Tracing, and Why You're An Imbecile

[GeNine]

If you bounce around using non-logging, encrypted, VPN's you can remain safe. And they do exist.

Wardriving is the best option for carders and like minded criminals though. You are truly safe when your bouncing through someone elses connection, as long as your online identity is tight and you don't give away anything about you. Oh and spoof your MAC address.

Usually I will use TOR and run through some VPN's at the same time. All my emails are encrypted with PGP.

Most carders get caught when it comes to laundering the money they make, rarely do good carders get caught via their IP address or tracing. Unless your single identity online has massed millions of pounds the police have no time, resources or money to try to catch the skilled criminals. Each time you commit a single crime you have to basically create a new identity on the net. So if you get caught for 1, your not going to get caught for the others.

Also involves clearing hard drives and evidence regular!

I know a few carders that DBAN their machines every night and backup important documents to encrypted USB sticks that are then hidden away. Don't assume that the government are all powerful. Yes they are, but you can evade them if you know what you are doing.

Yea man its true.. If ANYONE wanted to track someone thru tcp/ip THEY CAN!! especially those arrogant 'tards that say they hack this and that.. You will get caught!! the reason people do get away with it. its bcuz they are lazy.. and takes patiences... I dare anyone to piss off the wrong "agent"... Proxys work but will not "hide" you.. from "them" :/

If the Feds wanted to chase up someone on these forums, for example, they could either go through the legal process of getting that log information (which is hopefully what they do most of the time), or they could employ counter-security experts (aka. crackers, or "hackers" as the media has misconstrued, but I won't get into that) to break in and get the log information directly.

Yeah like those "White Hat Ethical Hackers"... those guys are technically worse than the real crackers out there. They are certified in the counter-security business.. Alot of ppl are lazy thats why alot of shit happens on the net.. If the CIA and FBI wanted to, they could monitor every packet on those cray4 computers.

the SHITBOOK is damn near undetectable by all means unless your George Clinton.

(p.s. If You Can't Smile For Whatever Reasons, Dont Read This.)

I dont encourage bad things, I only tell you how to do them.
so first, dont hack from home(unless you're a script kiddie, then by all means Please, no, MAKE SURE you hack at home. im totally kidding)

alright

The almighty Untraceable Shitbook.

buy the cheapest ugliest lamest netbook making sure it has at least a usb hub, and a card reader.
hard drive size doesnt matter what so ever. go for the small ones if possible.(for the shitbook you should have no reason for a 160 gig hard drive)
open it up and take out the wifi card, bluetooth(if it has it), and webcam.
go to a computer store and stock up on anywhere from 1-10000 usb wifi cards depending on how many illegal internet operations you plan on doing.
also buy a few cheap 128mb or less sd card.

NOW
wipe the hard drive and make sure you get EVERYTHING deleted.
get basic operating systems or build your own BUT IT MUST BE DONE FROM SOMEONE ELSES COMPUTER and put those minimalist operating systems on your netbook.(e.g. windows 98, windows 2003, small linux distro's whatever you want.)
using a diff computer download the drivers for your wifi cards, put them on the sd card.
plug it in install drivers, etc.
take out the sd card, put gasoline on it and watch the bitch burn and make sure you smile.
using other peoples computers get everything you are going to need to work with and put it on the usb stick.
now use your netbook to create, program, install your "tools" [you're on your own with that and if you know what you're doing you know exactly what to use, otherwise I can't wait to read about you getting caught on Google News ] and everything your gonna need.(WITHOUT CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET)
pull out another one of those little sd cards you got. install the best hard drive wiping tool onto it. your going to always want to keep this sd card with you, you should just leave it in the internal card reader.

now your shitbook should be ready.

DONT PLUG IN THE USB WIFI CARD
AND DEFINITELY
DONT CONNECT IT TO THE INTERNET YET.

now you hide your stupid shitbook in the darkest, most unlikely, ugliest, place hidden from all light, air, and moisture you can think of. Why? because light is not Dark. that's why.

okay when you believe your ready for the "funtimes". pull the shitbook out.

Here's Where You Can Be Slick And Sly and live a hidden life, Or Go to jail and cry.

now plug in one of those usb wifi cards. hopefully you didnt forget to install the drivers.

if your smart when i said get all your tools, you got all the best proxy programs, created some great set of tools [not used some off the internet, although there are some good ones] set up a virtual machine to use. otherwise..your taking a risk of getting caught for trying to beat the system.

now depending on what super computer powers your gonna be exposing, you can either use a public place's wifi, or use some idiots wifi, or crack into someones computer and use his or her computer to upload your programs on and pull it off from their computer. make sure you have the proxy set up already and the virtual machine open with another proxy program.[it's not neccessary, but it helps].

do your business, try not to take longer then about 3 minutes.

now leave that place. as fast as you can. RUN. no just kidding.

okay.

now if you just did some small things, go home. boot the sd card, wipe your hard drive. encrypt the blank harddrive, just because your paranoid for doing nothing. burn the sd card[make sure you smile] and the wifi card too. store your shitbook away with the rest of the supplies for it. in the darkest coridor of the brightest hall.

now, if your a bad bad person and "did good things for the enviornment"[aka the worst things possible], burn everything!! delete your records, create a new identitiy and move to antartica for a year.

now whatever it is you did. you should be smart enough to never say anything about it.

use another computer to do your forum posting and browsing[if you're really trying to be uh "cool" i guess, then you should have no business posting in a forum for advice, you should truthfully just keep to yourself like a loner and never talk.

keep nothing illegal on any computer in your possession other then the IMAGINARY SHITBOOK THAT NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT.

if you need to do bad things pull out your shitbook and wifi card and sd card.

prepare it up.

leave your house.

do your business.

and delete.

and hide yourself and burn away with a smile, or hide your tools.

so the moral of the story. live in the dark corners of the sunshine world, or be stupid and think your methods will never get you caught.
or for you people with a closed mind. "Dodge the big E and live free."

-jajinbonsu

and i leave you with this last thing. "If you're not paranoid, you're not doing it right."

[jixxxer]

The only way not to get caught is to never do anything or if they don't notice or want to catch you. If you are small time sometimes they are going after bigger fish, like being intoxicated in public some places when its illegal, but there is a guy next to you breaking into a car. The cops want the car thief; not you. You are never safe!

[Black1986]

Absolutely correct....CCTV rarely catches anybody (do the research) and identity theft is fucking rife now; the resources don't exist to chase every con.

You can:
Change your mac and use someone elses wifi.
Or
If your connected to a wireless network with many others (coffeshop), then you might want to encrypt your traffic so noone can sniff it. You can use a vpn to do this. I like secretsline because they "supposedly" don't keep logs and they accept anonymous payment (liberty reserve).
Or
If your worried about information being recovered from your laptop then you can always run a livecd and vmware off of an encrypted usb drive. Running a livecd means no information touches your hard drive, so there is no need to constantly erase your files (i.e. DBAN). Other advantages of running a livecd/vmware combo are portability (you have your files files and os with you that can be used on any machine leaving no trace), and anonymity (a lot of live cd's have mac changers).
Or my favorite.
If you wanna get really technical and keep everything on one usb instead of having to use a cd+usb drive.
