Tracking protection and anonymity

One of the key points in setting up a combat phone for use on the darknet is to ensure the user's anonymity.
To do this, we recommend using virtual private networks (VPNs) and anonymizers to hide the real IP address. This will prevent possible snooping and ensure that the transmitted information is encrypted.

Example: Installing and configuring a VPN service.


  1. Choose a reliable VPN provider.
    Choose a provider with a good reputation for anonymity and security. You need to choose a provider that provides maximum anonymity. Ignore the standard recommendations and consider alternative, less well-known virtual private networks. Please note that not all VPN services are equally anonymous, and some may keep logs of user activity. Examples include NordVPN, ExpressVPN, or CyberGhost.
  2. Install the VPN app on your phone.
    Download and install the appropriate app for your device. After installation, enter the necessary connection details. Choose an app that offers additional features, such as double encryption or the ability to select a server in a specific country. Use settings other than the standard ones to strengthen your connection.
  3. Activate the VPN before using the darknet.
    Enable VPN before entering dark to ensure reliable protection. Remember that activating a VPN is only the first step. You also need to get familiar with the functionality and capabilities of your chosen VPN in order to use it as effectively as possible in the darknet environment.

Secure interaction on the darknet

To ensure safe interaction on the darknet, it is important to take additional measures to protect data and anonymity.

Example: Using secure messengers .


  1. Select a messenger with end-device encryption.
    Use instant messengers that support end-to-end encryption, such as Signal, Telegram,and Element.
    This ensures that only you and the other person can read the messages. Ignoring the common messengers, consider alternatives with improved encryption systems.
    Decide how far you are willing to go in ensuring the security of your communication, and choose a messenger accordingly.
  2. Automatic deletion of messages.
    Set up the function to automatically delete messages after a certain time after reading them to minimize traces of your activity.
    Please note that automatic deletion of messages may cause inconvenience during interaction, but it is an integral part of ensuring your anonymity.
    Your choice depends on the balance between security and convenience.

Avoiding tracking by operating systems

Operating systems can collect information about users, which can lead to a security compromise.

Example: Using customized operating systems.

Install secure operating systems.
Consider custom operating systems, such as GrapheneOS for Android or iOS with Jailbreak. These operating systems provide additional layers of security. Customized operating systems open up new horizons in security. You should consider installing non-standard operating systems that do not support unnecessary features and services.
When installing the operating system on a combat phone, you need to abandon the standard versions and pay attention to customized alternatives that provide a high level of security and anonymity.

Examples:


-LineageOS:
LineageOS is a customized, open source version of Android. It provides the user with control over the installation and removal of components, which improves security.

-GrapheneOS: GrapheneOS is an Android fork designed to improve security and privacy. It includes improved security mechanisms and regular updates.

Disable unwanted services and features.

Perform a thorough configuration of the operating system, disable the services required for your use, and manage app permissions.
Additional steps to disable unnecessary services and features will help you improve the security of your installed operating system.

Examples:


  • Disabling GPS and Wi-Fi: In the darknet battle phone, you can disable GPS and Wi-Fi to prevent possible location tracking.
  • Disabling Notifications: Disable notifications or configure them so that they are not displayed on the lock screen, reducing the risk of leakage of confidential information.

The security of a combat phone on the darknet requires active control over the security settings of the operating system.

  • Data Encryption: Enable data encryption to provide an additional layer of protection in case your phone is lost.
  • Password and Biometrics: Use strong passwords and biometrics features to protect against unauthorized access.

If you disable unwanted services and features on a combat phone on the Darknet, we recommend that you choose carefully so as not to affect the stability and functionality of the device.

Below is a list of services and features that you can consider disabling:



1. Geolocation Services:

  • GPS: Disabling GPS may prevent possible tracking of your location. However, keep in mind that this may affect the functionality of some apps.
  • Wi-Fi Location Scanning: Disabling the Wi-Fi auto-scan option can also reduce the risk of location disclosure.

2. Notifications and Screen Lock:

  • Notifications: Set up notifications so that they don't appear on the locked screen, reducing the risk of confidential information being leaked.

3. Telemetry and Reports:

  • Sending Error Reports: Disable automatic error reporting to avoid sending sensitive information to development centers.
  • Using the Device ID: Disable the transmission of your device's unique identifier to reduce the possibility of tracking.

4. Advertising Ids:

  • Advertising ID (Android ID): Disabling the advertising ID can reduce personalized advertising and data collection about your behavior.

5. Running Apps in the Background:

  • Automatic App Launch: Disable automatic app launch in the background to monitor their activity and resource usage.

6. System Updates:

  • Automatic Updates: Turn off automatic system updates to have control over the update process and avoid possible conflicts.

7. Backups and Syncing:

  • Cloud Syncing: Disable automatic syncing with cloud services to reduce the risk of data leakage.

Using Cryptocurrencies for anonymous transactions

The darknet often uses cryptocurrencies to ensure anonymity in financial transactions.

Example: Using private cryptocurrency wallets.

Select an anonymous wallet .
Choose a cryptocurrency that provides a high level of anonymity.
Such as Monero or Zcash. Ignoring popular cryptocurrencies, pay attention to the minority offering improved anonymity mechanisms.
Choose a cryptocurrency with a focus on privacy to ensure secure financial transactions.
Choosing the right anonymous wallet is a key step to ensure safe and unobtrusive financial transactions.
Ignore the widespread cryptocurrencies and consider the less popular but more privacy-focused ones.

Examples:


  • Monero (XMR): Monero is the leader among cryptocurrencies that provide complete anonymity of transactions. Thanks to the use of ring signatures and an anonymous exchange mechanism, Monero hides the sender, recipient, and transaction amount.
  • Zcash (ZEC): Zcash uses zero-knowledge zk-SNARKs technology. This allows you to conduct transactions with anonymous data, while maintaining confidentiality.
  • DASH: DASH offers a PrivateSend feature that mixes your coins with other users ' coins, making them difficult to track.
Cold wallets are physical devices that are not connected to the Internet, providing an additional layer of security, as they are inaccessible to online attacks, but are closely linked to your device and access to your finances.

Examples:


  • Ledger Nano S: This hardware wallet provides secure storage of private keys, allowing you to sign transactions offline. It provides maximum protection against hacker attacks.
  • Trezor: Another popular hardware wallet that supports many cryptocurrencies. Trezor can also be used to sign transactions without an internet connection.
  • Paper Wallets: Paper wallets can also be considered cold wallets, since private keys are generated offline. These wallets provide a physical form for storing keys and are easy to store offline.

Use of private keys .
Store your private keys in places where even the most skilled hacker can hardly get access. Avoid transferring keys over the network by using alternative exchange methods to minimize risks.

Self-storage of private keys is an important part of ensuring the security of cryptocurrency ownership. Ignore standard practices and consider alternative ways to store your private keys.

Hardware Wallets : Hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S or Trezor provide a physical device for storing private keys offline, providing maximum security against hacker attacks.
