Fellow Pedes, now is not a time to worry, unless you are a cuck... and if that is the case, change, learn and equip yourself.

I've been in Cybersec many years and all things IT even many more years. I thought I'd share some a couple of general pointers with you on information security. As time goes on learning how to conduct yourself with information is going to become even more important as we shift from living in a Representative Republic to Democratic Communism. None of this is new and I didn't come up with any of it but it bears repeating.

1st things first, Credential management You need to get away from alpha passwords (all alphabetical). You need to get away from your mentality that adding a number, a special character or changing your name to leet turns you into an uber hacker (ea. [email protected]). In 2021 passphrases are the way to go... instead of salting passwords, or adding complexity your passwords should be sentences. (ea. 1Adam1$chiff1is1a1raging1HOMO) on top of that quit worrying about how you're going to remember your password. Have one extremely complex passphrase as your master password and use it to access an encrypted password vault (like Lastpass or Keepass locally, though I recommend a cloud based password vault so you can access from anywhere). Password vaults are really the only way you can handle the next step...

2nd thing, vary your online presence We live in a fucked up technocracy. If you haven't figured that out you may figure it out the hard way. Say the wrong things online, get cancelled. Post the wrong thing in anger, might get a visit. Add the wrong thing to your profile, might get fired. Stop being a brash boastful moron. Be two-faced. You can be cordial with the sheep and cucks but be a revolutionary online if you know how to manage it. You've already passed the first step. Every online social media account should be different if you plan on fighting bastards with those accounts. Don't fall prey to trying to make a commonality across them. Its hard, its human nature, but use a random generator or search for something random and pick the first word you see to select a user name. Try not to have any joining threads between them. Join your credentials to an encrypted secured e-mail (Protonmail). If the accounts power levels are really high use a throwaway e-mail account (like mail.com) At some point you have to connect back to something real... you, just make sure there are layers to get there.

e-mail communications Stop using gmail. Gmail is the largest honeypot on the planet. You stupid fucks... gmail harvests everything about you using meta-data. Of course Google isn't using it to hunt down Patriots but they could given the right people get a hold of that power and take that step. If you want to use gmail just link a bunch of bullshit to it, but don't buy things online with accounts using gmail. Google learns a lot about you from your buying habits. Just take a look at your e-mail and imagine sifting through there for keywords and try to play a game to see if a script could ID you as a Trumpster by processing your e-mail... yeah that's what I thought. "Oh you're a Trumpster? Here's a -20 on your social credit score... catch my drift? Oh here's a confirmation e-mail for a purchase from gunbroker, or a plate carrier purchase? PAY FOR YOUR E-MAIL HOSTING. Its magical! We fucking did it for years. If you are getting some for free you are the product. "uuummm waaaa wwaaaa I can't get off gmail" Well then you deserve everything coming to you. Get a Protonmail account and do a little work to rehome your accounts to it and quit fucking whining.

What browser should I use? Chrome browser is riddled with Google telemetry and analytics. The Chrome browser has a update service that runs at the system level of your computer and I have concerns that in a SHTF situation might be used for malicious purposes, considering it contacts Google servers on a regular basis and could be used to locate you (I'm not sure what all is in an update request, I haven't reverse engineered it). Firefox has recently come under fire. Honestly the app itself isn't as historically nasty as Chrome. Mozilla Foundation's politics certainly are. Use with caution and pay attention to the Moz Foundation. Brave has been very popular lately. Just so you know, Brave is based on Chromium. The same open source browser that Chrome is built on. Brave has adblocking and script blocking features built in. For that reason its a very good browser for the casual user. Personally I'd skip Brave and just go to Chromium since I'm a power user. Its open source so you can inspect its source if you want (many devs have) and it'll work with Chrome plugins. Just selecting the correct browser is only half the battle. To truly be secure online you need something like Noscript to block scripts from harvesting information, you need a good adblocker. You need your SSL/TLS settings to be setup properly. You need to clear your history regularly to protect yourself from discovery as well and make sure certain artifacts aren't left on your system. Edge? Honestly I haven't looked into it much.

How do I stay anonymous online? This heavily depends on your habits. A book could be written about this. For starters if you are on sites like this don't re-use your user names across multiple sites. I've already told you this. That ad blocker you're using.. it'll keep tracking cookies from tracking you across sites (you know like Doubleclick, owned by Google... the largest tracking system in the world) Don't leave a footprint online. Its hard not to reach out or share something personal about yourself and try to make a personal connection.... don't. I tell everybody I'm from Kentucky. There are 4 million people in Kentucky. Everybody knows I'm in cybersec. There are thousands of Cybersec guys in KY. That's about where I leave it. You start getting more in depth than that and you are screwed. Of course I could be totally lying and I might be a Network admin from Indiana. Just be smart and don't fucking dox yourself. Anonymity is largely tied to habits. Things like private browsing don't make you anonymous, all they do is keep your wife from knowing you surf porn. Using the Onion browser doesn't make you anonymous if 25 other processes and services aren't proxied through it. If it gets to the point where they are rounding us up the only way to go will be something like a Tails live USB flash drive that will proxy the entire kernel through the Onion router. Lord help us if it gets that bad because most people aren't going to be able to stay low in that situation.

what OS should I use? Keep in mind that your desktop operating systems talk to the mfg constantly. You can disable auto-updates on the kernel. This is a 50/50 play because you need to stay secure against outside threats but at some point the threat of detection could become greater than the threat of attack. Windows 10 has a ton of telemetry built into it. ATM its mostly MSFT trying to make their product better. You can turn it off in the local security policy with no ill effect. Mac OS11 also has a bunch of telemetry, once again used for product improvement. I recommend turning off voice helpers in both. This isn't a discussion of security, its a discussion of anonymity and detection mind you. I would recommend getting versed in Linux. If you are a noob go to ubuntu.com, download the ISO and use Rufus to burn it to a flash drive. Insert and reboot your machine. Welcome to Linux. If everyone wouldn't have given away all their knowledge and power to make things easy we may not have made our techno overlords so powerful.

Mobile comms Our mobiles are the nastiest tracking devices this world has ever seen. Any dumbass can pull up their google account and see what telemetry data is being used to create a profile of your actions. The easiest way to break out of this jail is to simply not participate in it. Get a flip phone (or any non-smart phone) and use a desktop for your online presence. If you just can't handle that you are going to have to do a lot more work. You're going to have to make sure you don't tie a gmail account to your mobile kernel (on Android). Honestly not that sure on the iPhone what you need to do, but I'm sure the concept would be the same. You'll also have to keep location services off, though I'm pretty sure certain parts of the kernel re-enable it or utilize it for beacons. With a smartphone in your pocket you are providing them a complete profile of who you are, who your family is, what you do, where you go on a daily basis... all based on metadata with no room for doubt.

Areas of operation Some of you need to think about what you do at work, at home and mobile. If you were on my network I can figure out anything you do. I'm in charge of monitoring everything that goes in and out. Some folks like me don't just watch the Websense proxy to see what sites you were banned from visiting... we watch for onion router access, we know what IPs your executables connect to, we know all the stuff your appdata files are connecting to. Network packets tell folks like me everything and if you work for a large organization there is probably a person like me watching everything. Keep that in mind if it gets to the point where laws are changed and certain behavior is illegal and can get you fired. On that note, those VPNs that you think are so safe... they may not be. If you are getting one for free you're a fucking dumbass... the other side of that VPN is an endpoint. How do you think they are paying for their hosting space? They are inspecting all your traffic and selling that telemetry info to someone. If you're going to use a private VPN BUY IT from a reputable vendor.

Well that's about it for now. I'd be glad to answer questions or just shut the hell up. Really depends on what the rest of your Pedes want me to do.
