using a wireless air card to be anonymous?

Really? From what I have heard it can be worse than just going through your ISP.

 

As someone suggested above, buy your computer from a crack head.

Xerobank separates your purchase from your account. But if you do not trust that, open up an anonymous Xerobank account and never use it for anything that is identifiable, and never use it at home. From what I understand, it defeats traffic analysis. If you are not Charlie Manson Jr , the Hidden Imam , or the anti-Christ , then I doubt Xerobank will try to track you.

I guess changing your MAC address would be another step.

Don't connect from a public hotspot by driving up in your own vehicle. In fact, wear a disguise.

You could go as Ethel Merman and when you get there, start singing, "There's no business like show business, there's no business I know...." That way people will be sure to avoid you and give you some space. And if there are cameras, they will have something interesting and entertaining to watch.

Use a computer that is pristine. Run Sandboxie over Returnil, and have Sanboxie configured to wipe the remnants when you are done. Better yet, use XB Machine. Then put on the nastiest clothes you can find, disguised as a crack head , and sell your stolen computer on the streets. And of course wipe all of your finger prints.

 

Can you explain more about this? What does this do? Any good threads you could link me to?


Thanks

 

Hi Guys,

Was looking through this thread and it's really interesting. Just as a clarification, when you say that you can triangulate a wireless air card like you do a cellphone, wouldn't that mean you'd have to track that person while that person is online using the air card? Otherwise, I don't see how it can be done. Sorry, I'm kind of a newbie here but I also have one of these wirless air cards (it's pretty popular nowadays) and I was wondering how anonymous I was.

 

Free or very cheap older and non uniquely traceable cells phones are given away by local charities (churches included) so that a 15 dollar charge for 90 days of limited service via Virgin and other carriers go without any personal information (if you are willing to give false info) and thus a single call will cost you 15 dollars.

If you are not stupid enough to keep the phone you can call with almost complete anonymity.

That's why Osama is still laughing at us!!

 

If you are connected to Xerobank, the person on the other end will not know if you are using a wireless connection in your home, a direct cable connection, a local library, or PeeWee Herman's Playhouse. In fact, you could be the Queen for all they know. So no, using a wireless card will have absolutely no effect one way or the other. They will see Xerobank.

 

So what if they can triangulate a card? What does that have to do with anything? How would they know that you were using a card? How would anyone know what connection they are looking for if you are using Xerobank? The person on the receiving end will most certainly not. Nor will anyone who monitors that person's connection. Unless you tell them who you are by giving them some clues, how would they know what part of the globe to even search. There are no dots to connect unless you give them some info that lets them know who you are.

 

I have asked about MAC addresses before, and so far no oone has been able to show me that a website or anyone else can see your MAC address.

 

Let's assume that someone got through Xerobank and was able to get your real IP address. Then they would be able to check with the ISP you're using right? Theoretically, couldn't they triangulate your signal the next time you login? I just want to confirm if you can only be triangulated while you're using the card. Can they actually pinpoint your exact location (not just the country) without you being online?

 

As far as I know, it is not possible to get your IP address while connected to Xerobank. And I would think that it would take a lot to find you even without it....unless you were connected at your home.. You would have to be doing something really bad before they would go to those lengths, as far as I know.

 

This is part of the use of a service like Xerobank: hiding your IP address. So, yes: it is not easy at all to get your IP address if you are using Xerobank.

 

I guess that answers that question. Thanks guys!
