| As the name would suggest, Anonymity is one of the most relevant and important things any Anon should know about. Your 7 proxies will prevent you from being banned from your favourite chatroom, your ISP cutting off your connection for all that CP you look at, and the police coming for a v&.
| | #REDIRECT [[Anonymous]] |
| | |
| Maintaining Anonymity can be divided into two categories- Interweb and IRL
| |
| | |
| | |
| =Interweb Anonymity=
| |
| | |
| ==IP Address==
| |
| | |
| Your IP (Internet Protocol) address (namely external) is the thing you need to most worry about. Through it, you are traceable to the very place you are sitting now. When you enter a chatroom, you are recorded. When you enter an online game, you are recorded. When you enter a website, you are recorded. It is therefore important to hide it, to remain Anonymous.
| |
| | |
| [[Tor]] is the most effective for this. When used properly, even the FBI would have a shit-hard job tracking you down. | |
| | |
| For quick anonymous website browsing, you can pick from a variety of online proxies [http://proxy.org/cgi_proxies.shtml here]
| |
| | |
| [[Proxifier]] is a useful application that forces any online programme running to go through tor (or whatever proxy you configure it to).
| |
| | |
| ==MAC Address==
| |
| | |
| MAC (Media Access Control) address is a quasi-unique identifier assigned to most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) by the manufacturer for identification. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number.
| |
| | |
| MAC Address is something that most websites don't usually pick up, though sometimes chatrooms/websites/online games will have ways of finding it. It is near impossible to trace an actual machine simply from a MAC Address, but it is also something unique to your machine, and bonus points are given to anyone who [[User:R3x/MAC Address Changer|spoofs]] it.
| |
| | |
| ==User Agents==
| |
| | |
| Slightly trivial, but websites tend to pick up on which web browser you are using (Firefox/Internet Explorer/Safari etc), so it can throw people off the trail if you appear to be using a [[User_Agents|different web browser]] to the one you really are.

| | |
| =IRL Anonymity=
| |
| | |
| When out in public, for example at an organised event, meetup, convention:
| |
| | |
| *Never give out personal information to anyone you don't trust, i.e. everyone.
| |
| *Never allow yourself to be followed to a place then my compromise your Anonymity, eg to your car, place of residence etc
