Keep Anonymous

What a great tip for "Dark Tech". Ok, in a previous post I stated that there was "almost" no way to keep annonymous. Well this particular company Steganos has a product to hide your tracks while you surf online and download, I mean "acquire" music files for you enjoyment. What a lot of people don't know or realize is that when at work you're often monitored by the IT dept, or regular users are trying to be tracked by the MPAA and RIAA. When you're connected to the internet you're given an IP addresses which are allotted to Internet service providers (ISPs) and distributed to your PC each time you connect to the Internet. It's how you communicate online, and it's also how you are tracked. What you should try (when at work) is to use a proxy. By using a proxy, you can keep your manager from busting you if you're looking at sites during working hours (sports, news, anything non-work related). A proxy is a server that requests a webpage on your behalf and then deliveries it to your machine. You basically need to use an encrypted proxy. An encrypted proxy makes network data indecipherable to packet-capturing software.

You can either try Anonymizer.com (which are encrypted proxies on the net, it's a free service). Anonymizer.com then encrypts the webpage you request and sends it back to your computer, which decrypts it in real time. Any packet-capturing software trying to catch all of the data which is already encrypted, none of it is legible. Or, just download and use the Steganos program. You'll bounce around (time can be set by the user) to anonymous proxies all over the world, and even use IP Locators such as IP Chicken to track your movements/location. Anonymizer.com then encrypts the webpage and sends it back to his computer, which decrypts it in real time. Iris captured all of this, but since the data is encrypted, none of it is legible.
