What’s This About?

This chapter digs into the grimy world of online security and anonymity, focusing on setting up a Virtual Machine (VM) as your cloaked command center.

Breakdown:

1. Security Basics
2. VM Setup for Browsing, Communication, and… Specialized Tasks
3. Storage & Funds Management

Security Rules You Don’t Break

Before you even think about logging on, commit this to your thick skull:

Certain actions are always off-limits. No exceptions.

Absolute Taboos:

• No Personal Info

• Never, EVER give out your real name, location, family details, or personal data.

• Even “friends” might be foes.

“What’s personal stays personal. What’s work-related stays strictly business.”

• Unique, Untraceable Nicknames

• No using gamer tags, email aliases, or Insta handles.

• Fresh names only. Burn your old ones.

Virtual Machine Setup: Your Digital Fortress

Why use a VM?

1. Safe browsing & communication
2. Dodgy business—like carding (but I’m sure you’re just doing “research”… right?)

VM Configuration Essentials:

1. VPN (Virtual Private Network)

• Always use a VPN, preferably Double VPN for double encryption.

• Connect through third-world countries or remote continents.

• Zero-log policy VPNs ONLY.

• Verify your new IP with tools like Whoer.net.

Install VPN on your host machine, before booting the VM.

2. TOR Browser

• Access .onion sites securely.

• Maximum anonymity for sensitive browsing.

Rule of thumb: If you’re not using TOR, you’re doing it wrong.

3. Secure Comms: Jabber with OTR

• Jabber + OTR Encryption = Secure AF messaging.

• Forget Skype. That’s for grandmas and Fed honeypots.

Additional Security Measures

• Strong, unique passwords for every site, forum, or shop.

• Two-Factor Authentication wherever possible.

• Keepass or equivalent for encrypted password storage.

• Dedicated VM for sketchy software and unverified files.

Never run them on your main system, genius.

Anonymity & Internet Hygiene

You can’t smell like a noob out there. Here’s how you clean up your digital trail:

DNS Overhaul

• Swap default DNS for Google DNS, OpenNIC, or use DNSCrypt for encryption.

• Stops lazy tracking attempts dead.

Disable WebRTC

• WebRTC leaks your real IP, even with VPN/TOR.

• Turn it off in Firefox and Chrome.

Because even one leak is one too many.

TL;DR – Your Anonymity Game Plan

By following these steps:

• VPN → On

• TOR → On

• Jabber + OTR → On

• VM → Locked Down

• Internet hygiene → Spotless

You’ll be a ghost in the machine—or at least harder to track than your average fool.
