How to use a proxy?

[Schtekarn]

Hi

I've been searching for how to use a proxy, to surf anonomisly on the web in BT3, but found nothing.

Witch tool is best? and a good tutorial would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

I can't believe I'm still awake to type this but I had luck with running tor and getting the foxyproxy addon to firefox.

#tor

be patient it'll eventually have success

open firefox goto tools addons get extensions and find foxyproxy there. restart browser and enable foxy proxy (it'll prompt you with some simple questions)

You will need a good proxy list for FoxyProxy. So dig one/some up on Google. 50% of the proxies wont work but work on building a list of ones that do. Also use Tor. So get those together and go buy a cup of Starbuck (cash only, prefer coinage) so you can legally use thier wifi. But wear a disguisio hat. Park several blocks away and change clothes three or four times in route and you should be fairly anon.:eek:

Just make sure you use gloves and have wrapped every inch of your body in cellophane, so no fingerprints or DNA is left behind :D

Gotta go Gattacca style too, shave EVERY hair on your body...... Every one.......

And scrub your skin till you bleed of course....*duh*

Oh yea, and dont bring you're cell phone. "they" could pull toghether a gps map of all cell phones in the area at that time.

I have a question for all you folks that feel the need to use these 'anonymous' proxies.

How do you know that whomever is running the proxy isn't actually someone who's sitting there monitoring all the traffic to begin with? Whether it be scammers or government officials, how do you know that it's actually trustworthy?

Especially when you're just downloading some list off of google.

And for the love of God make sure you bring your tinfoil hat.

I guess this is where the difference between anonymity and security comes into play. Tor is widely considered to be secure as far as your anonymity goes, but this doesn't mean that the person hosting the exit node could not sniff all the data going through him. As long as you do not transmit any compromising information about yourself your identity does however remain unthreatened.

And definitely wear clothes that the "microdot" won't stick to.. they can tell "them" where ever you are. *mission impossible* anyone? better yet, don't wear clothes :cool:

Well Streaker, I dont use a proxy, although I have tested the FoxyProxy which I was pretty satisfied that it does work because, like I said I tested it. As for the proxy list you're absolutly right, this is not for logging into you're bank account. Proxy lists are somewhat of a gray area, as there is no real way to verify who's who. But if you want you're IP to appear to change every few seconds, then so be it. Foxy will do it. And Tron is absolutly right about TOR. Sunapi they dont need a microdot if you have a cell phone. Right now all kinds of research is being conducted with cell phones that is not public. And without consent. And I am absolutly right about that.

[sunapi386]

I would vpn into my own network, then surf from that.
At least ssh into your computer @ home.
I was referencing to a person w/o a cell. Whom should be naked, so that you can "feel" if someone puts a microdot on you. :cool:

Lot's of fun is being had right now behind closed doors with cell phones and tracking. Not to mention the probability that your phone calls are being monitored.

Just use a prepaid connection if you are feeling paranoid, which you have good reason to. At least in my country there is no need to provide your real credentials when signing up for this service so there is no way, apart from voice recognition ;), to track you.

Which phones do you think are probably monitored 100% of the time? I'd think the prepaid ones exactly because of that.

As long as you are not going to use them to plan any terrorist attacks I feel quite certain that you do not have anything to worry about. Alas, my point was more about the whole fact that cellphones can be pinpointed down to an pretty accurate location at any time. Using one of these subscriptions would result in "them" not beeing able to keep track of your location.

Apart from this I am glad that my country does not allow wire-tapping/phonecall monitoring/etc. to the same degree as is legal in the USA. Not saying I believe that there is none of this going on, just considerably less.

Who says your country is not doing such things?
BTW I do not know which country you are in but, who's to say that it is not being done behind closed doors.

And yes I would agree that B.B. is probably watching those throw away fones just like the others.

Sure I admit that there is no way to actually know whether this kind of privacy breach is going on behind closed doors where I live. What I am saying is that there are pretty strict laws protecting the privacy of us and on top of this our government simply doesn't have the resources to conduct an surveillance operation of this scale.

Neither do we have any other large single entity with the resources needed for this process, so once you do have a tap on your phoneline there is a pretty good chance that there actually is a good reason for it being there.

Interesting.......

"Does that mean that as soon as you were under suspicion, your phone company would give up location data that could potentially incriminate you?

Actually, they already do. Phone companies are required to keep location data for a certain period of time for just that purpose. That fact is, cell phones have to talk to cell towers, and that means they always know where you are."

"The units measure signals from the consumers' mobile phones using unique technology that can locate a consumer's position to within 1-2m. The units feed this data (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) to a processing centre where the data is audited and sophisticated statistical analysis is applied to create continuously updated information on the flow of shoppers through the centre. At anytime the shopping centre management can access the data via PI's secure web-based reporting system."

Perhaps the Mods could move this thread to General IT? This is not BT3final support

Technology sure can be a scary thing at times, George Orwell here we come :eek:

This post got me interested to further investigate the laws and proxies determining what phone companies can and are allowed to do with this information where I live. It turns out that they naturally using the same basic technology are able to pinpoint a cellular phone connected to their service at any time.

This information may however not be stored, accessed or given over to a third party without the consent of the owner of the phone or a court order. An exception to this is if you call 911 for help and the call gets interrupted before you can give your position. At this point they may track down your position and send out help, since you practically were asking them to come over anyway.

As for where I live, in a small country in the northern Scandinavia, but after this discussion my tinfoil hat is feeling a little to tight to give out any more exact information on my whereabouts :D

EDIT: Well it seems that the same does not apply to our close neighbour and the home country of Piratebay anymore, since Sweden recently voted through a law allowing the government to monitor both web traffic and phone calls, without a court order:

Ok. As you can see about Tor comments, Tor maby is a 'secure proxy', easy configuration but normaly very slow!!

There are a lot of sites with proxy propose. From the http/https protocols to socks 4, 5, irc_ssl, etc.. you want http and maby https proxy suport.

As rule of this forum I can't post any URL before the 15 post.

I still need more 3 post.. :(

Ok. lets post in other way.

As I say there are lots of proxy support sites and foruns and blogs:

www freeproxylists com/anonymous html
www freshproxy com/forum/login php
proxiecentral proboards79 com/index cgi?
parked backtrackbox com/
www proxyblind org/

Those site / foruns / blogs above they upgrade every day list of proxys that you can use. and import to your firefox.

there is one more proxy style:
webroxy com/domains php
the google dork > proxy:cgi show you lots of this kind of proxys.
If you have a site with cgi support you can use it as your personal proxy.

If you need a proxy tool, I guess bt3 have some, anyway I use this litle soft: yaph sf net/ .. is a litle bit old, but works fine.

Hope it helps.
