How Tor Users Get Caught By Saying Too Much

In this video I discuss how Hackers using Tor get caught by divulging too many details about themselves and how they conduct their operations in chats.

The greatest security risk is the one between the keyboard and chair

TDLR: Hackers should get a life outside of hacking so they don't feel tempted to make friends with other hackers.

[skkman]

Thanks, as a tor user, I've been having trouble getting caught. But this "how to" video helped! Typing this in the gulag rn

Bottomline: Don't brag in public about how much money you are making as the neighborhood's unlicensed pharmeceutical salesman.

Tor is a great aid in my illegal ex-yugoslav arms smuggling operation 👍🏻

[jaimeortega]

You don't ever say anything to the cops without an attorney present and you never give consent to search anything again unless your attorney is present. Common sense.

This reminds me of that scene from the Simpsons where Mr. Burns and Smithers go through very elaborate security to get to a special room, only to find an old ratty screen door open.

The thumbnail shows how much Jerma's physical health has deteriorated after he got caught managing that black market drug operation :(

[TheTraveler]

It never ceases to amaze me the mistakes that otherwise brilliant hackers make. As for the guy that got caught by saying he was busted for weed, give out info like that, but make sure it's a lie. That way they will spend time chasing lies and not find anything.

Whether you're a hacker or just a standard citizen, I've always been of the opinion that more people need to follow the old internet rule of never giving any personal information out online. It seems like ever since the rise of social media, and now every website requiring you to sign up with email and other verification info, people have completely forgotten this.

First rule of F̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ Tor Club: Don't talk about F̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ Tor Club

[dfccece]

100% agreed. Best OpSec is to not say anything at all. And if you really need to say something, make sure you lie about everything and occasionally contradict yourself about your personal information.

Today I'm from Germany, tomorrow I'm from Vietnam.

Look, the cops don't really do much police work. Those insipid cop shows, where there's an investigator who investigates? Copaganda.
No, cops get lucky when somebody shoots their mouth off, then they threaten that person and get them to violate their own civil rights by snitching on themselves, and then they make you snitch on your friends. Worst part? They'll promise that if you cooperate you'll get less time in the Scumbag Warehouse, which you'll find out at your sentencing was a total lie.
Thanks for pointing out Basic Opsec.

i once ordered 400 oz of black market eucalyptus on the dark web. good shit.

[Robot-Overlord]

The way I explain it to people is imagine youre on a shopping website and you go over to a filter and select your options for a new pair of shoes. Every specification for those shoes limits the total options. Blue/white, Running, adidas, slip-on. After you put all those in you go from 100 brands to 10.

Well this is how say the FBI finds you. You tell a story or talk in bits with people every bit of information narrows you down. "I went to wegmans with my parents and grandparents after I got off work at the autobody shop, theyre used to shopping at publix, but they liked the store"

Thats narrows down their list of suspects drastically. We're looking at someone who probably lives in the northeast because he shops at wegmans that has family in the south/southeast because they shop at publix, works as an automechanic, parents are likely not divorced, grandparents are alive, so likely younger than 50, etc etc.

Besides creating an impression of great import, saying little avoids the risk of saying something foolish, which can be costly

[AngryWoodenFork]

Hahaha, I can't believe folks have to learn this the hard way when it is common sense. Always make an opsec plan and stick with it. If you have to say anything about personal stuff, always go with a total random non related answer. Hello from Nauru, love your channel!

[thewhitefalcon]

Anyone who's considering using a VPN with Tor out of paranoia would be better served by just adding one more hop to their Tor circuits, which is a setting you can change. It's allowed to be up to 8, that's like 5 VPNs!

note: the extra hops can see the circuit is longer than normal

[TrickyNekro]

Choosing prison to end loneliness is rather an odd one and very unfortunate also.

Most people have an ego and need to brag about their stuff, that lies in the nature and only the most disciplined can come over that and become true Chads. They won't be praised, they won't be recognized, but most importantly, they won't get caught.
