How to be Invisible Online (and the hard truth about it)...

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?

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."

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.

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

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.

[Picsio]

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!

[tjmarx]

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.

Banger of an interview! We must have more OTW content David. Fulfill your destiny!

[JJ-swrm]

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!

[ryanqvincent]

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. :)

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!

[MaxWinner]

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

[TheOriginalJohnDoe]

Besides quality content, this really feels like a thriller podcast I'm watching. I absolutely love it.

Spent my young years finding people, before internet. So Groan.

[pimpampet]

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....

[ronigbzjr]

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..."

[vILLmatic]

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.

[Aluminata]

Like an insect trying to stay anonymous from a spider as it jiggles around in it's web.

[JeremyMcMillan]

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.
