The Stash No Comments

This is a repost of a post by Miseryland from tM back in early 2008, which was then reposted again on tM sometime last year. Despite the reposting, it still works, so I thought I’d throw it up here. Unfortunately the images are broken, but if you know anything about computers you should still be able to follow the tutorial successfully. This is posted WITHOUT his permission, because I’m a badass motherfucker.

Upon another short inspection, it would seem that the grammar used in this guide resembles that of a small child. I went through and fixed the links myself, and tried to polish things up a little, but it’s still fairly basic and lame. Read it if you wish, and good luck with getting a result.

This is a short writeup on how to anonymise your intertubes with tor.

Warning: Want Tor to really work?…then please don’t just install it and go on. You need to change some of your habits, and reconfigure your software!
– Tor by itself is NOT all you need to maintain your anonymity. There are several major pitfalls to watch out for:

* 1. Tor only protects Internet applications that are configured to send their traffic through Tor
— it doesn’t magically anonymize all your traffic just because you install it. We recommend you use Firefox with the Torbutton extension.

* 2. Browser plugins such as Java, Flash, ActiveX, RealPlayer, Quicktime, Adobe’s PDF plugin, and
– others can be manipulated into revealing your IP address. You should probably uninstall your plugins
– (go to “aboutlugins” to see what is installed), or investigate QuickJava, FlashBlock, and NoScript if
– you really need them. Consider removing extensions that look up more information about the websites you type
– in (like Google toolbar), as they may bypass Tor and/or broadcast sensitive information. Some people prefer
– using two browsers (one for Tor, one for unsafe browsing).

* 3. Beware of cookies: if you ever browse without Tor and Privoxy and a site gives you a cookie, that cookie
– could identify you even when you start using Tor again. You should clear your cookies frequently.
– CookieCuller can help protect any cookies you do not want to lose.

* 4. Tor anonymizes the origin of your traffic, and it encrypts everything inside the Tor network, but it can’t
– encrypt your traffic between the Tor network and its final destination. If you are communicating sensitive information,
– you should use as much care as you would on the normal scary Internet — use HTTPS or other end-to-end encryption and authentication.

* 5. While Tor blocks attackers on your local network from discovering or influencing your destination,
– it opens new risks: malicious or misconfigured Tor exit nodes can send you the wrong page,
– or even send you embedded Java applets disguised as domains you trust.

The good thing is while tor is INTENDED to anonymise general internet surfing, it can me made to anonymise all/some traffic with some effort.

  • Install the whole package, and run tor INDEPENDENTLY of the vidala bundle

START>Programs>Vidala bundle>tor>tor.exe

This means that the tor client is running, YOU ARE NOT ANONYMOUS YET!

So you have a working tor client, now what?

When you search for tor you will find plugins, but these things are application sensitive, ie tor plugins for Firefox, and whatnot. What you want is to torrify specific applications that you specify, ever seen a tor plugin for lindens SL client? didn’t think so!

So you want proxifier, a purely epic win product that will torrify any software you specify, get it here or torrent it.

Install it normally, and set these settings to it…

Quote:
Options>Proxy settings.
hit the add button and add these settings.
server address= localhost
Port = 9050
Protocol= socks 5

So now you have the tor client installed, and proxifier configured to tors default settings, you think your ready to hax the planet? enjoy your V&!

While tor is running and proxifier will torrify any application you specify, we havn’t specified any applications yet!

ok, so now you should have the tor client running and proxifier configured to your local tor clients settings, time to torrify some applications
For simplicity’s sake im going to torrify ie here, but this applies to any program, remember though, that its specific to the app you configure.

ie torrifying internet explorer will torrify internet explorer and that’s it.
If you torrify ie, and go to a site that inits flash, it will show your ip because flash is a separate program to ie and is being executed
independently to ie.
Know your target first, then configure your torrification rules appropriately.
if it calls flash, then proxify both ie and flash.

Proxifier rules being written for IE
OPTIONS>PROXIFICATION RULES
then ADD>name rule>ADD>APPLICATIONEXECUTABLE

NAO ITS TIME TO START THE SERIOUS BUSINESS MACHINE!

  • Close ALL things thats going to be used, in this example TOR PROXIFIER AND IE.
  • Start tor and when it is running like so
  • Good, now MINIMIZE TOR, and start PROXIFIER
  • OH look, tor and proxifier working hand in hand to torrify ie!

Proxifier and tor is now running, so lets fire up IE and go to…

The results?

You are now anonymous.
