They already have my fingerprints from 33 years ago.
They know where I live, my number aint unlisted.
[ I figure I am so on the list it doesn’t matter at this point. When they start rouonding up people to take to the re-education camps I just need to be elsewhere. :-) ]
Just leave your powered on smartphone at home and bug out elsewhere, they will assume you are still home with your cell phone...
Bingo
How could anyone make it through the puckerbush reading topo maps and a compass without GPS and a dang ol CELL phone that targets you? ☺
Could you put me on your conspiracy theory ping list please?
Maybe the ones on government lists are the ones who don’t have Facebook or Twitter accounts.
“So, what good does it do the kgb to “scoop up your computer’s IP address”?”
Plenty. They can match the IP address up to your computer NIC’s MAC on your ISP’s routers. That way they have a current validation of your IP to your computer. Then when you visit websites and your IP is recorded they have a positive ID on your visit and activity.
TOR is just a distraction. They can most likely de-crypt connections in real time so there’s probably no real anonymity. Additionally, having TOR installed just let’s them know to monitor your data once you connect.
Running TOR in a secure hypervisor VM or having a dedicated computer is better obscurity but they’ll still know it’s your computer, your session and your usage. It just makes it a bit harder to obtain your session data.
Best bet is “John Doe” at your local Internet Gambling café or public library via fake ID. TOR on a boot CD with Everyone permission for execution run via a public computer with fake ID isn’t a bad idea. You could also try this via a boot USB drive. Both CD and USB may be enabled for boot devices for recovery purposes. Some techs are afraid of needing to go into BIOS to change the boot order during a recover operation because they lose the BIOS password. So they leave the CD or USB boot priority to the hard drive.
But if you’re not breaking the law, what do you have to fear comrade?
Only if you follow the rule.
well that and posting on a site like the notorious Free Republic
Then apparently I and many I know are on this list!
i knew it!
Seriously, if you don’t put me on the ping list I’m going to call in the artillery.
