Anonymous downloading??

2021-12-07 at 4:03 AM UTCSwim wants to download info and doesn’t want people to know that it was them.
How?
Like a vpn of sorts but for downloading.
The only problem with that is, there is always the “end-of-the-line” right?
…The end IP being the downloader, right?
Like how are people downloading info they’re not supposed to have from tor, or places like tor, and staying secure/remaining anonymous? -
2021-12-07 at 4:34 AM UTCdepends on where you're downloading from
if you're downloading directly from a tor hidden service you should be fine
if you're using tor as a proxy to download from a regular site you're vulnerable to timing attacks but that's pretty hit or miss and unlikely to be an issue unless you've already got their attention anyway -

even if their wifis are free, which most are not, because they require you to buy their coffee before giving you their router pass, most have CCTVs in and around their properties.
You can use it outside in your car...the passwords rarely change...and yes, their wifi is free. Same with a lot of highstreet places. The car dealership I goto hasn't changed their wifi password in the 6yrs I've been going there -

yea but you can pay for their coffee with cash and wear a covid mask plus how could they pin it on you vs all the other people inside also using it? -

2021-12-08 at 1:26 AM UTCThe correct answer is no method or means of data transport is untraceable. The authorities have the resources to crack everything currently out there.

MAC addresses can easily be changed too on a lot of equipment, you can make one up and reflash the firmware. If you are using a device with a fake mac address on a wifi network that isn't yours...away from CCTV cameras...it's pretty much foolproof. -
2021-12-08 at 5 PM UTC10 years ago I said on Totse they could get your MAC ID and everyone scoffed. They ain't laughin' so loud now.

How on earth do you retrieve that sort of info? And does it survive a reboot? I doubt it.
Modern devices use random MACs anyway.

2021-12-08 at 5:30 PM UTCThere's a million tricks you can use to retrieve the hardware MAC IDs.

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Again those can be changed…we program MAC addresses onto a few of the product we make…I can easily change it if I wanted/needed too to some bogus address…they are not HARDWARE.
what device are you talking about? they're typically written to ROM, drivers can just be programmed to ignore itThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2021-12-09 at 3:36 PM UTCTo get the real MAC IDs, all you need is full local access. Spoofing won't help you then.

I'm not going to name the devices we build as it would obviously be divulging PI.
But, as the manufacturer we have a "backdoor" where we "program"/enter/change/ the MAC address via an RS232 connection and a "hidden" back door. The devices have NO hardware/software/anywhere MAC address on them till WE put them on there...anyone who had access to the backdoor could change that. The circuit board is our own design or own designed hardware and firmware.
Our devices are also used in Gov/military installations just as an FYI.
If you had one of our devices and I told you how to access it..you could change the ONLY MAC address on it to whatever you liked. We are not the only company in the world who programs MAC addresses this way.
Part of the reasoning for that ability to dynamically change the address was several of our customers request we use THEIR MAC addresses so in that instance we have to "reprogram" them using their MAC address vs ours....(you buy MAC addresses in like batches of 2k or something as I recall...last time I bought them we got a decades worth so that figure may have changed).
ETA: the first few hex blocks are the identifier of the MAC address owner (who bought that string of MAC addresses)...You'd basically just need to change those to whatever.... 00 20 E1 to 00 C3 F5...done..MAC address faked and untraceable.
