Now I can be as invisible on the internet as I was in high school

He didn't only tell us how to be anonymous. He also taught us the basics to be safe on the internet that most of the people don't know about.

"I can remain unseen if I wish, but to disappear entirely: That is a rare gift." - Aragorn

Been in IT since 1982 and in theory this is an excellent video and I commend Kalle for doing so especially unlike a good deal of IT KZfaqrs on here, who mainly want to show off, get attention and aim for sponsorship plus he does not hide it requires having the knowledge, effort and time to do so. Unfortunately as is with so many IT professionals I taught in my time, simply can't grasp that non IT people just want to 'use' IT to do what they want, as oppose spending additional time and effort in being able to do so. That is why even though we have so many utilities and techniques to make passwords more secure, people as I even do (and I used to teach security) now keep a small book with them all written down as we have to change them on an irregular basis. Just like a neighbour I once had, who never actually used his car (driving his wife mad) as he was always tinkering with it, in his garage, to make it run better. The other thing is that most users who wish to use all the aspects of the Internet now find to do so, have to abide by the rules, wishes and requirements that are for the benefit of the provider not the user. A classic example is how banks have totally reversed the relationship, where once customer was king to them now. Kalle's suggestions are valid but most major websites know this and have paid IT software and hardware developers to creat 'hoops' that we must jump through to use them which if you have sensibly carried out what Kalle has stated you 'AIN'T GETTING IN'.

This video went from basic internet safety to getting away as a crime boss real quick...and I like it!

Plot twist: he is a government agent making it easier to track us

I needed the part three of your video . Thank you soooo much

It is so important to police yourself online - never use your real name anywhere, never post a photo of yourself, never give out your exact location. If you use social media, again, use a "sounds like a real name", keep everything turned to Private.

Just wanna say I appreciate that Kalle keeps in a lot more of his verbal mistakes and even jokes about them at times. Definitely makes him a lot more personable and he comes off a lot more relaxed. He’s come a long way!

Wow, multiple book level knowledge condenced into a 24 min video. Absolute legend.

Couple things not mentioned is to shut off your telemetry data inside your OS. Normally a stealth system requires this and should read "Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet - solicited or otherwise - was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice." You can also shut off netbios over tcpip in your adapter settings so you are not broadcasting, and hiding your ssid so you are not broadcasting your connections name through wifi discovery.

Am not gonna lie, i sat and watched this whole video and this guy spoken everything pertaining to becoming truly invisible online. He didn't miss anything out, this is literally the sauce explained yo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well fu*king done❗️

10 year olds that feel like being a hacker would be awsome be watching this vid over and over. 😂

It's crazy how much privacy people give up for convenience..

It is tough to prevent data being tracked and hide info. Literally just whatever it may be related to the person (especially personal information) that is used for any purpose can blow one’s personal information and status. So far this is the best video I’ve seen and one of the many that is useful which I learned from.

Nice upload, succinct yet easy to follow.... Highly recommended for anyone else with a short attention span or others who may have naively spent years feeling they have nothing to hide.... subsequently allowing many years of social-media voyeurism erode any belief in, or concerns for online privacy in 2022. Much appreciated!

Really great and helpful video. Online anonymity has become more and more important for me over the last couple of months.

Can you show us how to remove ourselves from all these websites that show your address, phone number etc...?

Extra added layer of security you can add to your passwords is to have your passwords in a foreign language, like Spanish or (romanized) Chinese. The further from your mother tongue and the less popular, the better. Good example is to find a band like The Hu that sings something like Mongolian, use a romanized version of a line from one of their songs, and then encrypt it.

I REALLY LOVE this video, explains everything I’ve really wanted to know and extra I didn’t even think about

really great video as always! I love how you trigger the interest with some general interesting thumbnail and proceed to explain it in detail in the video. Keep up the good work man! Love from Italy

Analogies are on an another level 🔥

Super excited to listen to this!

thanks for the tips man ! nice job

You taught us the whole thing to be anonymous. Your all videos, vlogs are amazing 😍. I'm in love with your content.

I've had a crap week, but you saying "visable" is just making me smile, this is why I love your content !

Amazing video, very well put together. Keep it up :)

I found this channel and this video from the main page of KZfaq on the safari version on my iPad Pro! Nice video!

No one is safe online.. But good thing there are online angels like you. Thanks for sharing these tips 😊👍

This Is The Man I Have Been Searching To Mentor Me. Hail Kalle Hallden🙌🏼🖤

This is great! Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic video Kalle - keep doing the ice baths they put you on fire!! I have always wondered about how to do this.

Wow, I'm overwhelmed and impressed!! Thank you

Unsurprisingly it ends up like Kevin Mitnick's: The Art of Invisibility. Well done! Hope to see more of this well presented content.

Great video, and Everything is very great, the explaination, the Editing of the video and everything, thanks a lot from Egypt

I really like this new format of videos you've been doing (like the NFT video) - while they're longer they're also a lot more informative and I feel like I've learned something after watching.

you should definitely make a video on setting up a proxy by ourselves at public wi-fi's..like starbuck,stations,etc...

You mentioned keepass!❤️ Subscribed..

The longer videos are amazing! you’re such a good editor and great speaker

I have never seen such a professional and transparent video in my life

A couple of other ways: post letters; communicate with people by going to see them; shop by going to local stores; bank by going to the bank (if there are any left); grow what you can (salad stuff is easy and you can even grow it in an apartment); slow ourselves down, get off the click-shop, rebuild communities. Get on two wheels to move around: scooter for short distance, then pushbike, e-bike, motorbike. All good for the planet and us (careful on the motorbike). The internet has only been around for a tiny amount of time yet we now spend all our time on it (like me now). We could try getting out a bit more. Might be good for our mental health too as well as physical. For all internet uses though, do what Hallden says.

Daammmnnn!!! Awesome video!!! This must be the dude behind the scenes running "silk road". Lol....seriously though. Great video

looks like this will help me a lot! THANKS, Kalle!

No caps, no numbers, 6 digits 13 year old password, still works to this day and never rest And it's such a simple word

informative and nuanced did his research and gave layers of op sec- good vid

I like your layered approach to online opsec.

Here we go!

This went from 0 to 100 real quick 😂 Like from tips to be secure on the net to outright being a cyber criminal. Like tips on how hide your face and stuff lmao

I used a password system where you think of a word and just add the date of that day in front and the state you're in(as in drunk, happy, sober, etc). This worked for me so far

The video is great! Just want to add that you can create Gmail accounts without phone number. On signup on a new (or after factory reset) Android device, while setting up, you can create a gmail ID without giving a phone number. Also temporary disposable email accounts can be of great help where you only need to create account and use only once

I used to do my passwords like you describe. I had a handwritten list of 1/3-passwords for every site or service. Another 1/3 of the password was derived from the hostname or domain name of the site, and the last 1/3 of the password was a constant I had memorized. I had a mental algorithm for mixing them together. Then I found a better way. I just had raw passwords written down for each site. I would then truncate its 256 bit hash down to size, and use that as a high entropy "random" alphanumeric password. Then I discovered offline password manager. Their database is encrypted with a main password (which I handled as before). But each sites individual passwords contained therein were randomly generated ascii passwords. They also store TOTP keys to generate 2FA codes as an authenticator app. They also store direct url links so phishing becomes an impossibility; never sign in through any link other than the one you stored in the manager. You can also get creative and have an independent, memorized password (just a character or two) that you can prefix to the password stored in the manager. Ive even encrypted my entire password manager into a veracrypt volume.

I'll try the multiple email and longer password, thanks Kalle 🙂

I upvoted because you mentioned the final countdown

Finally a video that even I, a non-IT-expert, could understand.

I use hash encrypted passwords. For example I want to use "the final countdown" as password, then I encode it with sha512 or sha256. Then get a long hash and I use it as password. Only I know the "real password", which I am easily able to remember and to encode with sha512/256 to the password I use on web. Cool video! 👍🏻

Let's be real if you clicked this video you need to apply these skills immediately, cuz your getting put on a list after clicking this video

Great video. I've learned a lot. Thank you

Exactly what i needed

2:10 they also track stuff you don't allow them to track explicitly, via their integration and data sales with other companies

Liked the video. The password creation system was good. I was taught a system many many years ago. Name Number symbol(s) First step is choose four names. They can be a name of anyone you know preferably, the first names of Grandparents or Aunts or Uncles or long lived pets like cats or dogs. The names must be at least 6 character's or longer each Look at the four names and notice which letters are common between the four. Each name must have at least one character common to the two we will choose (for example the letter O or E) If one of these names does not fulfill this rule then find another name. With all four names you have the first part done. Second step - Pick four numbers you can remember They will represent the year and month that someone was born that is in your family network. Look at the four numbers and notice which characters are common between the four numbers such that each number has at least one character (for example the number 3 or 2) Third step - Choose two special characters. Pick ones that are in the same place with the most common types of keyboard that you will use. In this example we will have ? and > Avoid using things like full stops and commas as they are difficult to see Next you need to establish a substituion rule for the characters so you can disguise the passwords. For my example I will choose - o and 3 and ? will be replaced by ** e and 2 and > will be replaced by == Always use two or three substitution characters together. Never just the one. I now keep a small notepad with the four names and four numbers. But use the disguise substitiutions in those names and numbers when writing them down. When a password is created it will always consist of the name first, followed by the number with the special character(s) at the end. Now we will say that we have made up a password from my grandad's name and my fathers birthday with the special character ? from my choices Fredrick0259? On the website I will enter Fredrick0259? To keep a record of this I would write Fr==drick0==59** Now, if anyone comes across Fr==drick0==59** in my house, work (or on my phone) they do not have the actual password. You will need to create at least two passwords. The first one is for social uses such as email and Facebook. The second one is for cash websites such as paypal or banking. Once a year I change out the passwords. Although I have gone longer. The names and numbers are writen in a small notepad. I also keep a copy of this in my phone. The special characters are kept in my head This notepad will also have the old passwords in case I forget to change out a password for a site after not having been their for years. To create a new passsowrd I pick another name from the list and a number (they are chose at random). Then choose the special character(s) to end it. The final trick with this system is that I can create shorcuts on my PC with the name editied to include the disguised password to act as a hint. The shortcut might be labelled as My Gmail - Fr==drick0==59** With these shortcuts copied to a memory stick I can have online access at any PC with the passwords easily to hand. I have been using this system now for nearly 15 years. The same four names and numbers. Once you get used to it there is no need to worry about remembering passwords current or way in the past. To show how well this works - Using the example above. What is Ge**rge0==64**== It is worthwhile noting that this whole system can be reversed and still achieve the required list of passwords and maintain security. You would now write the undisguised passwords in your notepad and on your shortcuts. The disguised passwords would now be used at the website.

this was VERY useful! THANKS

Fantastic video bro thank you so much 👌👍

As you have mentioned the trade-offs of enhancing security at the expense of user experience is what will keep people away from these practices. I find myself in that group of people because I want a good time and I have nothing to hide. Anyways, I do use a password manager (because it’s just easier) and a vpn (to get content from the other side of the world). Thank you for the suggestion about multiple emails I could use it for separation of concerns purposes

Every time I watch your videos, don't know why I feel next video will be music production video😅 such a versatile guy

Good video man!

I enjoyed this very much. Thanks!

I recommend changing your email occasionally too, it's very easy with outlook/Gmail to add an alias email, make it primary, and delete your old one. So if your email has appeared in any data breaches, it's gone. But you still have access to everything with very little effort

I thank U so much for this information & with that I'm pretty much a beginner to the information.but i'm really determined to give it a GO! Thank you for your time & information. Mr. Hop....

Great video as always! I'd like to add to the email part in that Simplemail can be used to create email aliases, which essentially allows you to create "new" emails that people can send mail to, but it will get forwarded to your actual email address, thus allowing you to in reality still only manage one email. Gmail has this built in as well I believe.

i mean the last level could be used against some creeps from like darkweb or someone you made mad. For example if you knife someone in csgo he wont be able to trace your home

Thanks the knowledge

Thanks for this video

Using the plus symbol + for concatenation in email addresses IS actually formally part of the standards, making it easy to create one purpose email addresses. But major ISPs like Goggle will reject these. Goggle also ignores using a period . as a separator despite that also being a required standard.

I see you're experimenting with longer form content...I'm not complaining though😂

Great content, thank you

Thank you, Very Awesome video!! All the best!

When I make really long random passwords I just memorize the rythm of movement that I make when I'm typing the password out. I don't know half of my actual passwords but I know the hand movements for them :)

Another way to save your password is saving it inside of an image on another device, this allows you to use a very complex password. While being pretty safe to use.

Dude, THANK YOU. What a great video. This should be mandatory viewing and taught in schools.

Anonymity is very hard to reach and you have to avoid most forms of technology. But there are things very powerful that help your real identity to be not that prominent:: Build up a fake identity and spread logical but not real information over the net. Try to make this identity transparent so that it seems to be real. And then use your real personal data only if really necessary. And avoid meta-data. I was working in big data projects and it is scary what you can do with information that seems to be "useless" to the public.

Snowden: *takes notes

Cool lil thing for emails, you can sign in with all your emails on mobile (up to like 10), and search all inboxes when looking for something.

For those of us living in certain countries like the Philippines for instance, using Tor trades hard tracking for slow speed. Not all of us have the bandwidth to use Tor without being slowed down to nearly nothing.

To create your own proxy you can rent a VPS server somewhere in the cloud and all your internet traffic will appear as if it came from that VPS server.

I'm constantly trying to keep myself private bc i've encountered ppl who hacked and it's scary tbh. The good thing is I've done most of these things, and I started doing multiple email thing since last year. However, I do only use one mainly even though I have multiple, so I should really fix that. I really need to try what he said about creating an email for shopping and one for personal so that it's separated, that's smart ngl.

I do the email one kind of. I have a variety of emails for various things that all forward to my actual email. Not entirely secure since if someone gets into one of the sub emails they'll be able to see where it is forwarding to but it also means that if something gets compromised I can just drop that email, make a new one, and set it back up. Its also handy for when they get flooded with spam and stuff from subscriptions/newsletters.

Great video!

One day i will be an outstanding programmer and i love your videos. A big fan of your videos.😍

Becoming anonymous is really, really hard. All that things you said works only if you're trying to avoid corporate companies. YES corporate companies. They will have a hard time figuring who you are and making your profile stronger. But government and sometimes other companies will track you down anyways. It might be the way you type or other patterns you follow. And avoiding cameras are also very much impossible. Remember you walk in a certain way. You have favorite coffee or drinks. It's not hard to track you down.

It's so funny. Digital is now so cumbersome I need to go back to my paper notebook to store all my data. Thank you digital revolution!

Legendary Video 👏

Strong password is like sheldon creating long password for pennny. 😂

At point 17.01 you missed a golden opportunity for all the Tolkien fans. I was SO sure a few times you will say it: "but to disappear entirely, that is a rare gift". Very instructive video by the way. I especially liked the part about replacing a letter with a group of special characters. Very simple and useful.

man, doing a research for my comic. now my brain is burning from all of that information.

I used KeePass for a long time, then Dashlane and then I finally migrated to Linux, made an RSA key pair and stored all passwords with GnuPG. There is a useful "pass" script working on top of GPG. The passwords are simple binary files (encrypted) and can be easily transfered between machines or synced with Git. Of course, it's better not to show your files - then a LUKS-encrypted file system on your OS drive and thumb drives comes in handy. There is also a great password generator utilities like "apg" and "xkcdpass" that can make rememberable passwords for you that are strong against dictionary attacks. If you are really paranoid, there are privacy-oriented distributions like Tails.

What we see: How to become invisible online What hackers see: How to track invisible people online

Kalle: How To Become Invisible Online Anonymous: *laughs hysterically*

I'm glad to see I already do most of the Tier 1 security! the emails weren't even for security, it really really helps keeping a clean inbox to have separate emails for separate thinga. never again will this personal email get buried under shipping notifications!

as a writer, i thank you for your work.
