SIMPLE ANONYMITY
If you're an AOLer, go download a copy of Netscape 3.04
LEVEL 1
If you are wondering how to disguise yourself and your ISP, here's that story. First, Go to
I CAN SEE YOU . See what any web site can tell about you as soon as you go there:-( It's not too cool ).
I'm not saying every site you visit collects this much info (or more), only that it is possible.
First, I should tell you that "I am Not an Anon-Guru". After many, many months I figured out a little here and a little there until I had actually figured out enough to be 'very' anonymous. From there it was just a case of backtracking to come up with what follows.
Please try to do things in order so you can get a little foundation. This stuff's kinda like math...if you miss something here you might not be able to figure out what comes down the road :-(
In order to disguise the origins of where you come from you'll need to use the services of a firewall, or Proxy. Essentially a proxy serves as an intermediary ISP you go through on your way to your real destination. Like flying to New York City from Los Angeles with a stop in Chicago. To anyone watching you land, it would seem that you were coming from Chicago and not LA.
The same thing works on the Net. Here's how.
Want to see the results of this action?
Go back to I CAN SEE YOU and compare the data found with what it found the first time. If you'd like to see the whole sheebang, go here Analize 1 or Analize 2 with the proxy off and then on.
If they still found you, turn off java etc. or try another proxy
NICE huh, I thought you'd like it.
Now, if you'll go to a freemail site like YahooMail
and register while your proxy is in effect, they will not really know who you are.
IF YOU ARE SERIOUS, Choose 1 freemail service to use as your conduit for anonymous E-mail and to post to newsgroups and NEVER go to it without going through your proxy first.
( The 1st time you go there without using the proxy they will have your addy forever [GOT IT]
( The 1st time you go there without using the proxy they will have your addy forever [GOT IT]
( The 1st time you go there without using the proxy they will have your addy forever [GOT IT]
Do you think that I think this is important.

Freedom of Speech or 1984, you choose for yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: I 'NEVER' surf without it. It may add a second or two to your surfing but you save that over and over because your E-mail box doesn't fill with Spam you will need to delete over and over again.
FREEMAIL
Some of these services are:
AltaVista, DeJaNews, EudoraMail, Hotmail,USING REMAILERS
OK, you've got your browser, been through your proxy, entered your freemail, and are ready for step 4 on the road to Simple Anonymity. You can actually send e-mail or Usenet posts to another place where all the information (Yes, even the fake stuff) about you is removed and then forwarded to the place you want it to go.
Does this sound good to you ?
Yes, I thought you'd like it :-)
Here's how to do it:
LEVEL 2
ANONYMOUS USENET POSTING VIA 'CHAINED' REMAILERS
(1) Open e-mail program like you would if you were sending a normal e-mail.
(2) In the "To" field, put "nightmare@uni-muenster.de " (without the quotes).
You can also use "senshiremailer@gmx.de" in the "To" field :-))
(3) Leave the Subject in your e-mail program blank if it will let you.
Put whatever you want. The remailer will discard this subject, so it doesn't really matter.
(4) Copy everything between (but not including) the cut lines below and paste it into the body of your new message. The (::) go in the top left corner of your message field.
-----<cut line>----------<cut line>-----
NOW, SAVE A COPY OF THIS FORM IN YOUR DRAFTS FOLDER
with ANON USENET POST in the Subject: line
A few rules that must be observed:
- Every line must start at the first column with no leading spaces.
- The double colon (::) must be on the first line of your new message.
- There must be ONE blank line between "Request-Remailing-To:" and "##".
- There must be ONE space after EVERY 'single colon'(:) and whatever follows.
- There must be ONE blank line preceding the text of your message.
(5) Complete the From line in your new message with a simple nickname.
Here's an example:
-----<cut line>-----
::
Anon-To: FrogRemailer@frogadmin.yi.org
::
Request-Remailing-To: mail2news@anon.lcs.mit.edu,mail2news@dizum.com
##
From: Nickname
Subject: Testing SHINN
Newsgroups: misc.test
X-No-Archive: Yes
Produces a header like this:
Subject: Testing SHINN
From: Anonymous-Remailer@See.Comment.Header (Nickname)
Date: 6 Apr 1999 07:48:35 -0000
(6) Complete the "Subject" line in your message (NOT in your e-mailer).
(7) Complete the "References" line if you are following up another post.
About the References line:
This line is only used when following up another post and then only to
ensure proper threading.
If you are NOT following up another post, delete
this line entirely and move everything below it up one line.
Do not leave a blank line where "References" used to be.
If you ARE following up on another post, insert the full message-ID of the message you are replying to on this line, including the angle brackets. eg. <erzP.61$lm4.105583@news.giganews.com>
Also, when following up another post, copy the exact subject line of that post to the Subject line in your message (not the Subject line of your mailer) and precede it with "Re:" and a space,
ex. "Re: Original Subject". If the subject line already begins with "Re:", do NOT add it second time.
If you include text from the message you are replying to in your message,
precede each line of the included text with a "greater than" symbol (>).
(8) Complete the "Newsgroups" line with the name(s) of the newsgroup(s) that you want your message posted to.
About the Newsgroups line:
This header must be the plural "Newsgroups", even if you're only posting to one group. You may enter more than one group (crosspost) by separating them with commas,
ex. "alt.test,alt.flame,alt.my.favorite.newsgroup", but the line should not exceed 80 characters. The only space allowed on this line is the one after the colon (:) and before the first newsgroup name.
About the X-No-Archive line:
Including this line will prevent DejaNews from archiving your post for future retrieval. If you want to have your post archived for posterity, delete this line entirely. As before, always maintain one and only one blank line before the first line of your message.
(9) Replace "[message goes here]" with your message.
(10) That's it! Now mail the whole thing to "nightmare@uni-muenster.de" without the quote marks.
If the Remailer Gods happen to be in a good mood that day, your post will eventually show up in the newsgroup with your "Nickname" in the From field instead of "Anonymous" and it will be impossible to trace the message back to you from the information provided by your message and its headers.
If it doesn't show up within a day, the Remailer Gods will have to be appeased with another offering of the same message, so it's always a good idea to keep an extra copy until it shows up on your news server.
LEVEL 3
ANONYMOUS E-MAILING
This same method can be used to send anonymous e-mail with your nickname in the "From" field by replacing "mail2news@anon.lcs.mit.edu,mail2news@dizum.com" with the recipient's e-mail address and deleting the References, Newsgroups and X-No-Archive lines. Or you could send fully anonymous e-mail by deleting
the "From :" line as well.
*Copy everything between the cut lines as before and paste into the body of another blank e-mail message. Put, nightmare@uni-muenster.de in the To: line and ANON E-MAIL in the Subject: line.
NOW, SAVE A COPY OF THIS FORM IN YOUR DRAFTS FOLDER
Enjoy!
If you have problems, shoot me an e-mail :-)
The Usenet Newsgroup:
Alt.Privacy.Anon-Server is a great source of knowledge,
if you can figure out what they're saying :-)))
