What is a crypter? how it work's

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">What is a crypter?</span></span><br /> A Crypter is a software used to hide our viruses, keyloggers or any RAT tool<br /> from antiviruses so that they are not detected and deleted by antiviruses.<br /> Thus, a crypter is a program that allows users to crypt the source code of their program.<br /> Generally, antivirus work by splitting source code of application and then search for<br /> certain string within source code. If antivirus detects any certain malicious strings,<br /> it either stops the scan or deletes the file as virus from system.<br /> Thus a crypter basically makes an infected file FUD or UD by encrypting it.<br /> <br /> <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">What does UD and FUD mean?</span></span><br /> UD means undetectable, so only a few antivirus programs detect it.<br /> FUD is acronym for Fully UnDetectable, so no antivirus detect it. I reccomend to scan all the<br /> files you crypt on <span style="color: red;"><b></b></span> .Also make sure you check the box<br /> "Do not distribute sample"<br /> <br /> Also as a headsup please DO NOT scan your crypted servers on "Virus Total" as they<br /> send over all the infected files to the antivirus companies,thus spelling doom for the<br /> "FUDness" of your crypter.<br /> <br /> <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">What does a crypter really do?</span></span><br /> A Crypter simply assigns hidden values to each individual code within source code. Thus,<br /> the source code becomes hidden. Hence, our sent crypted trojan and virus bypass antivirus<br /> detection and our purpose of hacking them is fulfilled without any AV (Anti Virus) hindrance.<br /> Not only does this crypter hide source code, it will unpack the encryption once the program is<br /> executed.<br /> <br /> <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">How does a crypter really work?</span></span><br /> As some of you must be wondering,how does a crypter do the wonderful job of hiding your<br /> infected servers,away from the preying eyes of the antiviruses?<br /> Well, the basic working of a crypter is explained below.<br /> <br /> The Crypter takes the original binary file of you exe and applies many encryptions on it<br /> and stores on the end of file(EOF).So a new crypted executable file is created.<br /> <br /> Original Exe Crypted Exe<br /> (ORIGINAL)001————- (CRYPTED)010<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="" border="0" height="217" src="http://i.imgur.com/T9VIo.png" width="400" /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="" border="0" height="176" src="http://i.imgur.com/RTh5c.png" width="400" /></div> <br /> The new exe is not detected by antiviruses because its code is scrambled by the crypter.<br /> When executed the new .exe file decrypts the binary file into small data small pieces<br /> at a time and injects them into another already existing process or a new empty one,<br /> OR it drops the code into multiple chunks in alternative data streams(not scanned by most a/v)<br /> then executes it as a .txt or .mp3 file.<br /> <br /> <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Can I hide my crypted files in another program?</span></span><br /> The simple answer to this is yes.For this we can make the use of file binders.Some crypters come<br /> inbuilt with binders,some are not,but we can easily use a binder program to meet our purpose.<br /> A file binder is very self explanatory.It binds,or puts two files together as one,hence when one<br /> opens this "binded" file,two files will execute at once. A binder makes a server look even more stealthy,<br /> than just a simply crypted file.<br /> <br /> <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">What are the parts of a crypter?</span></span><br /> Generally a crypter has two parts<br /> <br /> °A client,<br /> °A stub.<br /> <br /> The client is the interface where we may upload our file and use the options it brings,<br /> according to the programmer that made the crypter and crypt our files.<br /> <br /> The stub is an executable file(.exe) or a. Dll some times.<br /> This file is used as a filter for files that are uploaded to the client crypter<br /> <br /> <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">What are the types of crypters?</span></span><br /> Well crypters can be broadly classified into the following types:<br /> Types of Crypter<br /> <br /> ° External Stub<br /> ° Internal Stub<br /> ° Runtime<br /> ° Scantime<br /> <br /> External Stub : Well most of you have downloaded a public crypter by now and when you open the<br /> folder you have seen 2 things:<br /> <br /> 1.Client.exe and 2.Stub.exe<br /> <br /> These type of crypters are called External Crypter in which the functionality of the crypter pretty<br /> much depends on the external stub.<br /> You delete the stub and the crypter is useless.<br /> <br /> Internal Stub : The crypters that contain only Client.exe fall under this category.<br /> In this the stub is coded within the crypter. <br /> <ins style="border: none; display: inline-table; height: 60px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 468px;"><ins id="aswift_0_anchor" style="border: none; display: block; height: 60px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 468px;"></ins></ins><br /> <br /> Runtime Crypters : The crypters that crypts a server that remains Undetectable upon running in the<br /> memory of a PC is called a runtime crypter.A Runtime crypter encrypts the specified file and when it<br /> is executed,it is decrypted in the memory.This way the antiviruses are not<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red;">please use what i post for legal things   </span></div> </div>

Everything is computerized or tied to a network, making the Internet a huge playground.</div> IMAGINED TO BE super-high-tech geeks deciphering ridiculous lines of code or pimple-covered glass-wearing nerds hiding in their moms’ basements, these hackers have been orchestrating damaging attacks on the networks of governments, corporations, and other large organizations while simultaneously helping with the development of the World Wide Web and the founding of major tech companies.<br /> Here are 10 of the most audacious hacker attacks in the past years<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h5> 1. Kevin Poulsen</h5> Known as “Dark Dante”, Poulsen gained recognition for hacking L.A. radio’s KIIS-FM by taking over all of the station’s phone lines and “winning” a Porsche during a contest. <br /> He ultimately ended up pissing off the FBI after wiretapping a Hollywood actress and hacking into the US Army and FBI computers.<br /> After months on the run, he was eventually ambushed in a supermarket, and sentenced to 51 months in prison, ordered to pay $56,000 to the radio stations, and banned from using a computer for three years. <br /> Today, Kevin Poulsen is a senior editor for <a href="http://www.wired.com/" target="_blank">Wired.com</a> News and has helped identify over 700 sex offenders with MySpace profiles. <br /> <h5> 2. Adrian Lamo</h5> Dubbed the “homeless hacker,” Adrian Lamo used Internet connections at Kinko’s, coffee shops, and libraries to infiltrate major organizations like The New York Times and Microsoft.<br /> His intrusions consisted mainly of penetration testing, finding flaws in security, exploiting them and then informing companies of their shortcomings. His targets include Yahoo!, Bank of America, Citigroup and Cingular. <br /> Things started heating up when, in February 2002, he broke into the New York Times’ intranet, added his name to a list of Op-Ed contributors, and spent countless hours searching himself on <a href="http://www.lexisnexis.com/" target="_blank">Lexis-Nexis</a>. The FBI claimed the Lexis-Nexis searches cost the Times $300,000 and Lamo faced 15 years in jail for the breach. <br /> In the end, he was sentenced to two years probation and ordered to pay $65,000.<br /> <h5> 3. Michael Calce</h5> While other teenagers his age were thinking about parties and girls, 15-year-old Canadian Michael Calce (also known as “Mafiaboy”) spent his afternoons on his computer and became famous for executing the first major distributed-denial of service attack (DDoS) responsible for crippling some of the Internet’s most popular websites. <br /> He set out to make a name for himself in February 2000 when he took down the website of the no.1 search engine and second most popular website at the time: Yahoo!<br /> As if that feat wasn’t enough, he went on and hammered the servers of CNN, eBay, Dell, and Amazon in a wave of highly-publicized attacks that were the first to show the world how easily one kid can knockout major websites.<br /> Calce was ultimately picked up by the Canadian police and faced 3 years in jail, but was sentenced to eight months in a juvenile detention center and forced to donate $250 to charity. <br /> <h5> 4. Jonathan James</h5> In 1999, Jonathan James broke into military computers and installed a backdoor into a Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) server, part of the Department of Defense, and collected sensitive emails and employee usernames and passwords.<br /> Just for fun, he also hacked into <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/pulse/ten-best-nasa-photos-from-2010/">NASA</a> computers, stealing approximately $1.7 million worth of software that controlled the living environment on the <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/pulse/catch-a-glimpse-of-the-space-station-wherever-you-are-in-the-world/">International Space Station</a>, forcing the agency to shut down its computer systems for three weeks, and costing thousands of dollars in security upgrades. James later explained that he downloaded the code to supplement his studies on programming, but claimed that “the code itself was crappy [...] certainly not worth $1.7 million”.<br /> He was arrested and banned from recreational computer use and was sentenced to serve 6 months under house arrest with probation. However, he served 6 months in prison for violation of parole. <br /> But unlike other hackers, his story has a tragic twist: He committed suicide in 2007. In his suicide note, he denied having anything to do with a hacker attack he was being investigated for. The last words were: “I lost control over this situation, and this is my only way to regain control.”<br /> <h5> 5. Robert Tappan Morris</h5> <div class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_157548" style="width: 260px;"> <div class="img-share-wrapper"> <a class="cboxElement" href="http://cdn1.matadornetwork.com/blogs/1/2011/10/Morris_Worm2.jpg" rel="lightbox[157343]" title=""Morris Worm" source code."><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-157548" height="333" src="http://cdn1.matadornetwork.com/blogs/1/2011/10/Morris_Worm2.jpg" title=""Morris Worm" source code." width="250" /></a></div> <div class="wp-caption-text"> "Morris Worm" source code. Photo source: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Morris_Worm.jpg">Wikipedia</a></div> </div> In 1988, while enrolled as a graduate student at Cornell University, Robert Tappan Morris created a monster: the Morris Worm.<br /> He designed the first self-replicating computer worm and unleashed it in the world wide web to check how deep the internet hole goes.<br /> He surely didn’t expect it to backfire, replicating itself beyond control as it infected thousands of computers, costing millions of dollars in damage, and inspiring the U.S. government to create a emergency response for computers known as the <a href="http://www.cert.org/" target="_blank">CERT</a>. <br /> Morris was eventually charged for his accidental crimes and ordered to pay $10,000 and do 400 hours of community service.<br /> He is currently working as a professor at the MIT, and the worm’s source code is archived on a black 3.5-inch floppy disk on display at the Boston Museum of Science.<br /> <h5> 6. David Smith</h5> In 1999, David L. Smith, pleased by a stripper’s performance in Florida, decided to immortalize her memory by creating a computer virus baring her name. <br /> Using a stolen America Online account, Smith posted a Word document infected with “Melissa” to a discussion group on America Online, purporting it to be a list of usable log-in information to pornography sites.<br /> Smith’s virus spread like wildfire through email, forwarding itself to fifty email accounts on every infected computer, and which, over time, overloaded email servers and forced companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Lockheed Martin, and Lucent Technologies to shut down their email networks.<br /> In the end, more than one million PCs were infected, causing $80-million dollars in damage worldwide. For his idea of a virtual lapdance, Smith faced 10 years in jail, $5,000 in fines, but served just 20 months behind bars.<br /> <div class="wp-caption alignright" id="attachment_157551" style="width: 310px;"> <div class="img-share-wrapper"> <a class="cboxElement" href="http://cdn1.matadornetwork.com/blogs/1/2011/10/800px-Lamo-Mitnick-Poulsen.png" rel="lightbox[157343]" title="Adrian Lamo, Kevin Mitnick and Kevin Poulsen."><img alt="" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-157551" height="200" src="http://cdn1.matadornetwork.com/blogs/1/2011/10/800px-Lamo-Mitnick-Poulsen-300x200.png" title="Adrian Lamo, Kevin Mitnick and Kevin Poulsen." width="300" /></a></div> <div class="wp-caption-text"> Lamo, Mitnick and Poulsen. Photo source: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lamo-Mitnick-Poulsen.png">Wikipedia</a></div> </div> <h5> 7. Kevin Mitcnick</h5> No hacker article is complete without mentioning Kevin Mitnick, one of the most notorious hackers in the last two decades. His mischief was hyped by the media but his actual offenses may be less notable than his notoriety suggests.<br /> Described as “the most wanted computer criminal in United States history”, Mitcnick started out exploiting the Los Angeles bus punch card system to get free rides, then dabbled in phone hacking.<br /> Mitnick’s mischief got serious when he went on a hacking spree targeting Motorola, NEC, Nokia, and Fujitsu Siemens systems, stealing corporate secrets, scrambling phone networks and infiltrating the national defense warning system.<br /> He ultimately made his biggest mistake by breaking into fellow hacker Tsutomu Shimomura’s home computer, which led to his undoing.<br /> After a well-publicized pursuit, the FBI arrested Mitnick on <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/nights/6-drink-recipes-for-a-special-valentines-day/">Valentine’s Day</a>, 1995. He served five years in jail and about 8 months of it in solitary confinement thanks to law enforcement officials who claimed he could “start a nuclear war by whistling into a pay phone”. <br /> Today, Mitnick is a computer security consultant, famous author and speaker.<br /> His exploits were detailed in two movies: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0309614/" target="_blank">Freedom Downtime</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159784/" target="_blank">Takedown</a>.<br /> <h5> 8. Stuxnet</h5> The most audacious hacker attack on this list was most likely committed by a nation, according to experts, which perpetrated against a very specific and sophisticated target.<br /> Discovered in June 2010, the worm Stuxnet spread out, mainly in <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/destinations/middle-east/iran/">Iran</a>, and shut down a fifth of the country’s nuclear centrifuges causing them to self-destruct by spinning wildly out of control.<br /> Researchers all agree that the worm was built by a very sophisticated and capable attacker and designed to harm computers and networks that met specific configuration requirements. The worm also avoided being detected by creating “situation normal” messages on computers monitoring centrifuges while it was in fact busy destroying them. A real marksman’s job.<br /> The source of the worm was never discovered.<br /> <h5> 9. Sony and the Playstation Network</h5> One of the most recent hacker attacks that <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/226128/sony_makes_it_official_playstation_network_hacked.html">made the headlines</a> this year, thanks to thousands of angry geeks unable to access their favorite games online, was perpetrated on Sony’s Playstation Network database. <br /> More than 100 million Sony customers were affected last year when an unknown group of hackers breached into the network and scooped up data on their names, addresses, emails, login IDs, passwords, and credit-card numbers.<br /> Nobody to date knows who was behind the massive attack, even though many pointed fingers at one of the biggest hacker groups in the last few years, which finally leads us to number 10.<br /> <div class="wp-caption alignright" id="attachment_157553" style="width: 310px;"> <div class="img-share-wrapper"> <a class="cboxElement" href="http://cdn1.matadornetwork.com/blogs/1/2011/10/750px-Anonymous_Flag.svg_.png" rel="lightbox[157343]" title="The Anonymous group's flag."><img alt="" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-157553" height="200" src="http://cdn1.matadornetwork.com/blogs/1/2011/10/750px-Anonymous_Flag.svg_-300x200.png" title="The Anonymous group's flag." width="300" /></a></div> <div class="wp-caption-text"> The Anonymous group's flag. Photo source: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Anonymous_Flag.svg">Wikipedia</a></div> </div> <h5> 10. Anonymous group</h5> I couldn’t end the article without mentioning the most famous and active group of hackers in recent times.<br /> “Anonymous” is a nebulous collective of hackers who, for the past few years, have been engaged in various types of protests and civil disobedience and have been orchestrating campaigns against institutions and governments who seek to censor the web and hinder free expression. <br /> They are famous for their attack against the Scientology church, the Westboro Baptist church, the HBGary Federal, and the Bay Area Rapid Transit shutdown, as well as their support to <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/change/wikileaks-follows-brilliant-mastercard-parody-with-a-lawsuit-against-mastercard/">Wikileaks</a>, the Iranian Green Revolution and <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/abroad/running-as-sanity-in-syria/">The Arab Spring</a> revolutions.<br /> Their public statements are generally rife with mischief, often mocking their targets for their lack of security, but the bigger picture is that their actions are increasingly conscientious and pointed, <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/change/anonymous-joins-the-99-in-occupywallstreet/">supporting social movements</a> and fighting for a bigger cause. <br /> Will this new brand of cyber activism referred to as “hacktivism” help tip the balance in favor of Change around the world?</div>

Explanation of internet logs and VPN's/VPS's

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Okay so there has been a LOT of misconceptions, half-truth's, and flat out lies concerning internet logs, VPN's, VPS's and YOUR anonymity. <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqO-mRzLiq72vXTx-p6K44jReFjvxaVMIRcWyDoYgQ185LLLEmanmiZezcJrSrjwHbAGz5hW43iokodbQ2kphGOTQMwCgJsDZ-oUDg1V7G27vHogZ0yIisFLJVzN-T56C0-51xqD7Rgm63/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqO-mRzLiq72vXTx-p6K44jReFjvxaVMIRcWyDoYgQ185LLLEmanmiZezcJrSrjwHbAGz5hW43iokodbQ2kphGOTQMwCgJsDZ-oUDg1V7G27vHogZ0yIisFLJVzN-T56C0-51xqD7Rgm63/s1600/images.jpg" /></a><br /> What I plan on covering in this : <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <ul> <li>What exactly are logs?</li> <li>What information is logged?</li> <li>How does that information link to you?<br /> </li> </ul> <br /> The safety and details of (clearing all misconceptions):<br /> <ul> <li>Google</li> <li>Websites</li> <li>ISP</li> <li>VPN'S</li> <li>VPS's</li> <li>Proxies <br /> </li> </ul> Other logs and risks. <br /> Questions/Answers</div> <br /> Alright so lets get started :)<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: mediumblue;">What exactly are logs? </span></span></span><br /> Now this is a simple question with a very complicated answer.<br /> <br /> What exactly are logs? Well they are obviously records, chances are they are on what you have been up to! (the simple answer).<br /> <br /> Logs are created by a computer service or program to record "events". Events can be a rather large list of things : From you turning the computer on, to you typing and saving a text file, to someone connecting to your computer. <br /> <br /> Lets make a text diagram shall we ?<br /> a basic opening of an application.<br /> <br /> (your input) --> (the system)-->(application)-->result<br /> <br /> Input : You click it. <br /> System: Gets the event's "mouse clicks here"->"Application is here"->"open application".<br /> Application: gets the event's "Start loading code"->"Started code"->"Done loading check if loaded correctly"<br /> <br /> Now for each of these events (except for perhaps the mouse click) there is a new log created. <br /> <br /> an example of a log would look like <br /> <div class="codeblock phpcodeblock"> <div class="title"> PHP Code:</div> <div class="body" style="color: red;"> <div dir="ltr"> <code>date[20013, Jan 1] Time 21:02  :<br />Action :: Application Virginity was started by user $4EverAlone ;<br />  date[20013, Jan 1] Time 21:07  :<br />Action :: Application Virginity Loaded by user $4EverAlone ;<br />date[20013, Jan 1] Time 21:07  :<br />Action :: Application Virginity ran successfully by user $4EverAlone ; </code></div> </div> </div> <br /> Remember this stuff, it will come up later. <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What information is logged?</span></span><br /> <br /> There are many different types of logs, it all depends on who's logging the information. <br /> Generally though whats logged is the action done, the time, who did the action, and any information pertaining to the action. <br /> <br /> Websites: who did what - when - what url - the user/ user info . <br /> <br /> you sortah get the idea right?<br /> <br /> Don't worry, I know this is a really short section. I plan on getting back to all of this in more details in the safety and details portion.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">How does that information link to you?</span></span><br /> <br /> ok so this is the important part: LISTEN UP. <br /> <br /> 1. Every computer that is logged in, has a user. <br /> The user can be admin, system, anything. But they have a userID also. <br /> This will link all local logs (logs that your computer stores) with the account. <br /> <br /> 2. MAC address (Media Access Control address). This was made to be able to uniquely identify any device that would be "networking". Your cellphone,Itouch,PDA,laptop,DSi. All of it. <br /> Originally the MAC address was intended to be a permanent individual identifier, it is quite easy to spoof. <br /> <br /> 3. IP address . Well this everyone should be somewhat familiar with, right? just incase you missed out on this :<br /> An IP is assigned to each individual device on a network, or the internet. It is used to identify(be used as a name) and locate(send packets to/from).<br /> <br /> Now here is the fun thing, IP's are created by the IANA (internet assigned numbers authority...Yeah they had to put authority in there because saying "IM WITH THE IAN" left the ladies with the wrong impression). <br /> The numbers are then distributed around the world to five different regional internet registries. <br /> From they are given to ISP's (internet service providers). Then to you. <br /> Just one look at your IP will tell them which area of the world you are in. <br /> <br /> Then they go to the registrar who gives them the ISP's number, who gives them your number, who is already being dragged out the front door by two FED's in black jackets carrying a briefcase and a giant purple dildo. <br /> <br /> 4. Cookies. No not the ones Nana makes. These are baked in the depths of satans loins. <br /> Its a piece of data stored from a website in your browser, and can be retrieved by the website.<br /> <br /> Alright *few* <img alt="Pinch" border="0" src="http://cdn2.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/images/smilies/pinch.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" title="Pinch" /> all that typing is done. Now that you get the basics of whats going on, lets get down to what you really want to know. <img alt="Oui" border="0" src="http://cdn2.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/images/smilies/oui.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" title="Oui" /><br /> <br /> ARE YOU REALLY ANONYMOUS/SAFE ? <img alt="Ohmy" border="0" src="http://cdn2.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/images/smilies/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" title="Ohmy" /><br /> You sure you want to know? <img alt="Non" border="0" src="http://cdn2.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/images/smilies/non.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" title="Non" /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">Google</span><br /> <br /> Ah, our best friend (besides our right hand). Big brother google is always watching out for us, or better phrased is always watching us. <br /> <br /> They log EVERY single search you make, and even more. <br /> When you go to a website, they log your information. When you get an add from google, they log your information. <br /> Google is your worst nightmare. <br /> <br /> a "log" from google search archives:<br /> <div class="codeblock phpcodeblock"> <div class="title"> PHP Code:</div> <div class="body"> <div dir="ltr"> <code><span style="color: red;">123.45.67.89-1/Jan/2013 10:11:32-http:</span><span style="color: #ffcccc;"><span style="color: red;">//www.google.com/search?q=do+feds+really+carry+around+dildo's-Chrome 2.0.0.7;WindowsNT 5.1-740674ce2123e969 </span></span></code></div> </div> </div> <br /> Now what this says is this <br /> "123.45.67.89 " - IP adress (OH HEY . I KNOW WHO YOU ARE NOW ) <br /> <br /> "1/Jan/2013 10:11:32 - Time (Yes, we need to know the very second that you looked up porn )<br /> <br /> "http://www.google.com/search?q=do+feds+really+carry+around+dildo's" - The search that you used (Incase your wondering. Yes, yes they do. )<br /> <br /> "Chrome 2.0.0.7; Windows NT 5.1 " - Browser and operating system (Hey I bet if we all use IE that they will just think their systems messing up). <br /> <br /> "740674ce2123a969" -The Cookie * <- evil. As google says "Like an IP address, a cookie doesn’t tell Google who a user actually is or where they live – it only identifies a computer" (Well shit, it wasn't me officer. The computer did it ). <br /> <br /> Although google claims to anonymise the IP addresses after 9 months and alter the cookies after 18, it is still a VERY large risk. <br /> They claim the ip address will look like "123.45.67.XXX" Unfortunately, this still will give the general location and your ISP provider.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">Websites</span><br /> <br /> The damnation of us all. Web logs. <br /> These can be extremely annoying due to the extent of the information they gather. <br /> <br /> When you connect to a website, its generally logged for two purposes. 1. Security. 2. "Statistics". <br /> How do they log this/what do they log? <br /> They can log MANY things. IP, MAC, and unfortunately they generally drop a few cookies into your browser. <br /> <br /> (taken from the apache website) lets say you open a gif <br /> here's the log <br /> <div class="codeblock phpcodeblock"> <div class="title"> PHP Code:</div> <div class="body"> <div dir="ltr"> <code><span style="color: red;">127.0.0.1 - frank [10/Oct/2000:13:55:36 -0700] "GET /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.0" </span><span style="color: #66ccff;"><span style="color: red;">200 2326 </span></span></code></div> </div> </div> What do they have ? <br /> "127.0.0.1" - IP <br /> "frank" - your user if you are logged in, or they could use a cookie instead. <br /> [10/Oct..etc] - Time and date<br /> "Get /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.0" - What you opened with what protocol. <br /> the 200 and 2326 aren't important but summ'd up they say if it worked and how big it was. <br /> <br /> They can also include where you were referred from, what bowser you were using, your OS system. <br /> <br /> They get the same type of log when you open a link. <br /> ESPECIALLY MISSING PAGES OR PAGES YOU HAVE ERRORS ON.<br /> <br /> They will also use cookies, these can track your history of browsing. Where you went after. What you did, how long you were on. What you searched for. <br /> and pretty much EVERYTHING about you.<br /> <br /> Here's something the NSA did "he National Security Agency's Internet site has been placing files on visitors' computers that can track their Web surfing activity despite strict federal rules banning most of them.<br /> <br /> These files, known as "cookies," disappeared after a privacy activist complained and The Associated Press made inquiries this week, and agency officials acknowledged Wednesday they had made a mistake.<br /> Until Tuesday, the NSA site created two cookie files that do not expire until 2035 — likely beyond the life of any computer in use today.<br /> "<br /> (that's right NSA. We are onto you and your habit of watching our porn <img alt="Nono" border="0" src="http://cdn2.hackforums.net/images/blackreign/images/smilies/nono.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" title="Nono" />). <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">ISP</span><br /> <br /> Ok so I will put this pretty simple for everyone. <br /> Your ISP practically is videotaping your every move. <br /> <br /> Ok no not literally, but they have EVERYTHING. <br /> Here is a list leaked in 2010 of some info<br /> <br /> <div> <div class="spoiler_header"> Spoiler </div> <div class="spoiler_header"> </div> <div class="spoiler_body" style="display: block;"> <img alt="[Image: bt-infringer-list.png]" border="0" src="http://static.arstechnica.com/09-29-2010/bt-infringer-list.png" /></div> </div> <br /> Scared yet? <br /> They have ALL your information, they record EVERYTHING. <br /> Depending on where you live they are required to hold logs for a long time. <br /> <br /> They know where you have been, what page exactly. How long you were on it, every download you make. <br /> They even record your emails. Not the actual content (per-say) but they are recording who contacted who. (I would suspect google does this also). <br /> <br /> How can they do this? <br /> Easy IP. Not your IP address but: <span style="font-style: italic;">Internet Protocol</span>. <br /> <br /> Communication between two computers (websites are on servers which are "computers") is formed up of "packets" .<br /> Imagine packets as a piece of paper, your computer hands the other a piece of paper saying "give me porn". The other computer replies by drawing you a picture, and giving it back. <br /> <br /> Well your ISP keeps every little piece of paper.<br /> <br /> Now your thinking "BUT I HAVE PROTECTION". Every girl can vouch for me as I say NEVER trust that there's any protection. <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">VPN'S</span><br /> First lets just get what a VPN : Virtual Private Network. <br /> Its an internet within the internet, right? <br /> <br /> Ill spare you all the technical jargon and sum it up like this (then give you the technical jargon): Remember the paper analogy? <br /> Well you give the VPN your paper, the VPN then hides it under its black trenchcoat until it reaches the website. The website takes the paper, gives it back to the VPN. Now the VPN returns to you. <br /> <br /> It "masks" who's sending the data. It encrypts it so if someone grabs it, they can't read it. <br /> Which is GREAT ! <br /> <br /> but still not exactly safe.<br /> <br /> The VPN services may CLAIM to not hold logs. But their ISP will. <br /> <br /> It will say "User gave VPN this paper". The reason VPN's are so safe is because it can be harder to narrow down which user the request came from, but its still VERY possible. <br /> <br /> And your computer will say "I connected with VPN :D " <br /> Their vpn computer will say "yeah, that dude connected to me -.-" <br /> Everything has a log. <br /> <br /> Honestly, ISP has the power to see everything. They just don't have the time. <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">VPS</span><br /> Okay so lets not use a vpn...LETS USE A VPS ! (Virtual Private Server). <br /> Its a computer, that you connect to and control. The same as VPS, their ISP will have logs. <br /> But not only that, remember the computer logs I told you about earlier ?<br /> <br /> When you log into a computer there is a log, when you remotely log into one it also holds what IP you connected from. <br /> When, where from, how long , EVERYTHING is stored. <br /> <br /> So when the feds see the VPS's IP doing something at 3:45 AM. <br /> They go to the computer, they check "what ip was logged in at 3:45 AM" and BAM your IP address pops up.<br /> <br /> Its the same as a VPS, you may be a bit more "anonymized" but its not anonymous. <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">Proxies</span> <br /> Proxies and proxy chains/services (such as tor) are the same as the previous, if not more vulnerable (Tor is a different story, which I am not going to delve into at this point. It is one of the most secure ways to "travel"). <br /> <br /> Its pretty much the mix between a VPS and VPN. <br /> You connect to it, tell it to do something. It does it, and brings you the reply. <br /> <br /> The only problem is, it doesn't encrypt your data (generally). And it doesn't hide that you are the one sending the message (to everyone who know's how proxies/vps/vpn's work in detail. Please forgive me for the really crude explanations. I am trying to get the overal concept across. ) . <br /> <br /> It still hides YOU, but not that you are controlling it. <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">Hacking a wifi/ other people's wifi</span><br /> <br /> Yes this can be REALLY good. And yet still bad.<br /> <br /> When you connect to an internet router you leave logs of your MAC address, which yes you can spoof it. But even so, still a log. <br /> Especially if you try to crack the password, then your leaving your fingerprints all over the place. <br /> <br /> Public Wifi normally has security measures to record who you are, AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS. <br /> <br /> Find personal home's that have unprotected wifi in a public place. That will help you out. <br /> <br /> I new a person who did something called "war dialing" .<br /> Well the newer version anyway. He drove around and cracked a bunch of wifi passwords.<br /> <br /> Well the fed's ended up tracking him down because he left a trail, literally. <br /> Each cracked wifi was in a specific 'zone' and he lived in that zone. <br /> <br /> Using his browsing habits from the hacked modems, they pieced together a lot. <br /> <br /> all it takes is one cookie to say "oh hey im sending from this IP ** . Oh hey now im from This ip ** " <br /> and you are DONE.</div>
