  1. Secure Imap/Smtp + SSL in browsers by icebike · · Score: 1 · on Encrypting Phone Storage and Transmission? (2011 Version)

    About the best you can do with off the shelf phones is to use an email client that supports secure communications, and visit
    web sites using ssl only. (not Slashdot).

    You could try some of the secured proxy browsers such as https://www.the-cloak.com/ (self issued certificate - so due diligence required)
    as a way to browse sites like Slashdot that don't offer secure connections.

    On /. there is no such thing as a true "anonymous" post.

    Not in NZ using a Clear/Paradise connection are you?

    For some reason thier transparent proxy sometimes craps itself over that domain name (and only that domain name).

    While it's fine from elsewhere...

    Oh, you're right.

    It's just that apparently blogger lets you have an (invalid) hostname with an underscore. Apparently I can recompile my nameserver and proxy web server with support for it, but instead I just read it through The Cloak

    The-Cloak is by far the best service out there. It is not a proxy, but rather an SSL connection. This means your ISP can't see the URL of webpage nor it's content: only that you're surfing through the-cloak. They have a free trial service with every feature the real service has, and they're pretty cheap. They also have special rates for people on broadband (they charge per MB).

    Check them out: the-cloak.

    I rarely have to, but when I need to surf anonymously, I use The-Cloak.

    Because I was a very, very bad boy/girl/entity. Don't worry, keep working at it and you'll get there too someday. Right now I'm posting through The Cloak, because Anonymizer won't work right for posting Slashdot comments.


    If you can guess who I am, I will buy you $4 in text ads (any content, any text, anywhere). But you only get 12 guesses!

  12. Anonymity for the Common Man (non-hacker) by yibyab · · Score: 1 · on Privacy vs. Anonymity
    1. Create a "pseudonymous" account with Netzero, Freeinet, Bluelight, FreeWWWeb and dialup. For the truly paranoid, go mobile and jack into someone else's phone system.

    2. Pay the $50 and get a quiver of Freedom nyms (or abuse the free 30 day trial over and over again if you're a cheap skate or don't want to register your payment information).

    3. Even with your Freedom nym in place, use the URL-based, CGI-type proxies at Anonymizer, Clandestination or the-Cloak (I found a great listing of proxies at WebVeil.Com.)

    4. Finally, be very aware of any information you provide voluntarily. Even references to geography, personality, employment, etc. may, in the aggregate, offer more clues than you want to reveal. Turn off Java, ActiveX, and scripting languages just to be sure. Make sure your cache and history files are clean at the end of your session.

    These are pretty restrictive measures and not the suit of armor I care to don, but if you are a alt.privacy type, there certainly is real anonymity online. With these measures in place, I'd be impressed if the FBI could locate and identify you.

  13. Other options by sonnerbob · · Score: 1 · on MSIE's Cookies Are Public
    Hadn't heard of Proxomitron before. Thanks.

    Other options:

    1. Use another browser. I recommend Opera.
    2. Install IDcide. Seems to work for me.
    3. Use a "cookie managing" anonymizer like PrivadaProxy or Freedom. They aren't free...I prefer Freedom...and not just because the link includes my affiliate ID :-)
    4. Use a "cookie managing" Web-based proxy. If you are going to surf promiscuously (whatever that means) where this exploit might rear its head, you can use The Cloak which is distinguished from Anonymizer et. al. in that it caches cookies remotely. Bandwidth limiting and you have to remember to use it, but it's free of charge.
    5. Live with it until the fix is in.
