hey it's me lucid you know the one that makes real dark web videos this video is
made in collaboration with opal heart the person that made the site hidden
answers on the Deep Web he's showing us today how exactly to stay completely
safe while you're on the dark web and we should take his advice because he
obviously owns the site on there and he knows what he's doing
step 1 never ever use windows I know I'm a big fault in this because I used
windows for all of my previous videos a lot of you guys called me on the
comments and I hear you I know that I'm wrong but using Windows is extremely bad
especially for accessing the dark web if you want to be completely anonymous
because windows itself is probably the most if I'm not mistaken the most
unsecured operating system that you can ever use so Windows has a lot of
security vulnerabilities and using it will not keep you safe on the dark web
instead you're going to be using something called tails
you see tails is the safest operating system it is based off of Linux and
tells will refresh itself every single time that you use it in the best part is
it won't even run off of your computer and will actually run off of a USB stick
now let's get on off the USB stick and every time that you start it up it's
literally running off of a small memory drive and if something happens to that
drive you just throw it away and buying one for ten dollars better yet you can
still run tails on a virtual machine so that you can still be on your regular
Windows computer just in a virtual machine that is running tails this is
actually easier to set up so that you don't have to restart your computer
every single time that you want to go on tails it will always be on your computer
as a program so this will take about four or five minutes to set up stuff
with the actual tutorial later on in this video the next step is to turn off
the JavaScript before you enter a site that may contain malicious content I had
again messed up for this one on my first dark web video I had a chat room with a
bunch of links and if I were to click on those links I would have saw something
that would have been extremely illegal so if you are ever in the case where you
don't know what is behind the link there's no description for it there's no
one telling you what's behind the actual link that you're gonna click on you have
to turn off the JavaScript this is because javascript is a programming
language that actually runs automatically as soon as you turn on or
access that site if you have JavaScript off then you won't be able to see the
images that lie behind the site this will keep you more safe in case the
image is illegal or it is harmful or it's malicious or it may even scar you
this is actually a must because if you're going to an illegal site and you
have JavaScript off the chances are you actually seeing anything illegal is
going to be very very slim to none also the chances of you actually being
scarred is gonna be slim to none as well on the other hand if you do know what is
going to be on the site if you've seen somebody else on it if you've seen it in
a dark web link review web page or video then you probably don't have to be
worried about this but just again if you're getting a link from anybody that
you don't trust or that you don't know always be skeptical and always always
turn off JavaScript before you enter a site that you have not been to yet the
next step is a Virtual Private Network VPN you've heard about it everyone's
heard about it if you haven't you've probably been living under a rock
especially if trying to get into a dark web come on now all the VPN is going to
do while you're on tour isn't keep you more safe but it's going to not let your
internet service provider know that you're on the dark web or that you're on
tour this can be beneficial if you're gonna do anything like buy things in the
dark web that aren't necessarily legal not only as a VPN useful if you don't
want anybody knowing that you're on tour or the dark web but on the regular web
things can be just as scary if somebody gets your IP address kind of like how
mine got leaked before I was using mine properly so the VPN that I use is
private Internet access and I'll show you guys exactly what it's like so this
is my real IP address and this is my VPN IP address right here I can go to
Chicago I can go to Toronto Montreal Vancouver literally anywhere in the
world I can change my IP to any country and let's say I want to go to Toronto I
let that connect and I am in Toronto with this VPN IP address one cool thing
about my VPN is that it has a VPN kill switch this prevents leaked IP addresses
by not even allowing me to enter a website unless my VPN is on this
actually turns on by itself with my computer startup at all times so once
you have P ia downloaded this is the maximum protection that you can get just
following these little things that I have right here is the handshake the
authentication and the data encryption you're gonna want to use these if you're
doing any risky business on the dark web but if you're just your average user
this is gonna be perfectly fine because it's still safe and it's still extremely
fast I've been using private Internet access for over two years now and I
really love what they do so I got it foliated with them if you want to
support me and the channel you can use the link in the description below to get
signed up or if not you can just watch at their site and sign up that way first
download VirtualBox then download tales after you download tales put them side
by side so you can see them together then press machine new
put any name of your choice for type press Linux for version press other
Linux 64 they say to put two gigs of RAM I say four because four is more and why
not more then press do not add a virtual hard drive create continue right click
on your machine press settings press on system enable IO API C is on then go to
storage press on empty click on the CD button to the right choose ur virtual
optical disk drive now pick up tales drop it in there and press on it press
on applications then tor browser and that's all so that's all that on the
software side of things but no you aren't finished just yet yes you might
be pretty secure and yes your computer might be as safe as it possibly can be
but if you don't know what to do up here then you can just as easily leak
yourself by Exodus so right now we're going to change your behavioral process
on the dark web or on the Internet in general so you don't leak your own IP
address or so you don't give anybody too much information that you shouldn't so
now since your computer is that it's a maximum security they can't hack your
machine but they can hack your brain through social engineering social
engineering because when somebody uses their words to manipulate you into
giving out information that you probably should have given out it seems like yeah
I'm not gonna be an idiot give out my address but little by little they can
ask for some information and if you give it to them that can build up to identify
you and who you are without even having to hack anything or attack you at all a
lot of people especially opal Hart the owner of the hidden answers site that I
was telling you guys about earlier he doesn't give anybody his domain yes
opal heart is not his name he's been going by the alias for I'm guessing many
many years now and nobody knows his real name on the internet and that's honestly
the best way to be and just use fake names use fake everything fake birth
dates names and don't give anybody anything that can be remotely traceable
back to you the easiest way to nog is socially engineered is to not press any
links from anybody unless you have your VPN on this is how I got my IP address
leaked a couple times back when I was stupid
I actually clicked on a link and it was a grab a file link when you press on
that link people can instantly see your IP address and anybody can do it a
seven-year-old a nine year old a 10 year old can do it so if they can do it just
imagine what these older guys they have a little bit more brain power can
actually do to you click on any links unless your IP
address is completely secure or if you're using tor browser that's going to
be just as safe the next tip that I can give you is to be skeptical of everybody
even though they may seem like the coolest person in the world they may
seem like they can be your best friend ever people that practice social
engineering are really good at that the person behind this camera right now can
even be an amazing social engineer and trick me into being that person this
friend which is hopefully not true but you don't want that to happen so just be
skeptical of everybody and think twice before you send them a message or before
you click on a link or before you give them any kind of information like that
Sharon oh you know Bill yes I put John blessed yeah you're an engineer am i
your best friend yeah the next step is to not take orders
from anybody on the Internet if anybody's asking you to do anything for
them or to open an app for them or to go on a site for them or just to do
anything that seems kind of odd that you don't know the purpose behind them
asking for it it's probably malicious like 90% is going to be malicious don't
be a troll do not be a jack on the Internet don't give people a reason to
want to attack you or to be malicious towards you even though they probably
can't do anything even if they can do it it's it's not gonna be a good time for
you so do not piss anybody off don't call people mean names on the dark web
especially because you never know if there are seven-year-old script kiddie
or they're a 25 year old pissed-off cyber criminal big difference hopefully
these tips will keep you a lot more safe on the dark web if you do not while your
internet service provider knowing that you're on the dark web or on tour then
you need a VPN also that will support the channel don't forget that thank you
