How to escape the all-seeing eyes of corporate America and the government in 15 steps

[leavesoftrees]

Lopp, a self-described libertarian who works for a bitcoin security company, had long been obsessed with the value of privacy, and he set out to learn how thoroughly a person can escape the all-seeing eyes of corporate America and the government. But he wanted to do it without giving up internet access and moving to a shack in the woods.

Fascinating! Let’s hope someone tracking him doesn’t start filing false liability claims against the LLC he formed, as registration with most sos require the owner to list the nature of the business and file annual reports. Some hacker might start filtering registrants by date of application and if the guy that was blackmailing him knew the date range of the blackmail, it could lead back. Eventually. Maybe.

Really cool, it still pretty much possible by registering some corporation in a country island somewhere in Caribe and living in some other country since residence in these country island are not a requirement to open a corporation.
The other parts are not that hard to do, one can even use a proxy to register a property or a vehicle, no big deal people actually accept money to let someone use their names. Beware certain websites can track people by the way they type, specially internet banking systems, today people need to go through KYC sort of things, it is getting hard.

Was reading another day something attonishing, some researches in US, Austria and France found out a way to locate anyone on internet even when Java Script in their browser are OFF, and it was proved to work, the side-channel attack is called "CSS Prime+Probe" constructed solely using HTML and CSS (Here are the articles about it: https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.04952 and https://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.06955v1.pdf).

Here some interesting resources on the net:

Buy giftcards without providing identity (by the way any 7/11 do it, but they have cameras)

I recommend any book written by Kevin Mitnick, specially the one called "The Art Of Invisibility" (here is the book https://www.pdfdrive.com/the-art-of-invisibility-2017-d200993311.html).

I used for quite a while a GNU tool called Womb.Hacks (it is a Perl and Shell script), it basically grab any url from email (Fetching web pages using email) you just download a static copy of that information in html or pdf with little adjustments (here is the tool free to download https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/womb/hacks.git/tree/).


But really, the best way to not be tracked on internet is not to use the internet of course. :)
