Penetration Testing Video Tutorial

Tor is a must I guess. I love the idea of rerouting your connection trough other users/volunteers.

And I'm sure there are other ways, probably disabling Java, JavaScript, cookies, Changing Mac Address, physical location like doing it from an internet cafe, clearing logs after the hack is complete leaving a back door.

I'm not sure if this is correct but maybe someone can add more stuff.

And thanks for the video. I love it.

Are you into security? Linux? Programing?

Dude, you must be lucky. I wish they implement open source in my company. I just use it at home (sometimes).

I'll see ya in the next meet-up ... You can tell me more about your experience

I agree with you man... Iron Geek is just amazing ... and yeah about all Etisalat stuff but I would suggest not to put in public ...

I've got 2 questions:

1/ Since you are an expert, why don't you elaborate on the anonymity part and what we should do to be 110% anonymous
You can also be kind to post a new topic about it.

2/ What do you think of below, do they make any difference in security?

Thanks for your input Alexander. That's interesting and appreciate if you explain these ideas with more details.

What other software can be used?
I would imagine that a combination of different technologies will make it even better. If you agree, what do you recommend?

I don't get you here. Check number 2 & 3 in the warning section: https://www.torproject.org/download.html.en#Warning
What do you think?

I don't get this either. As far as I know, location is very important. Can you explain why you don't agree?

Why these advanced gurus didn't "own" those Blackhats who screw around without being tracked?
Are you going to blame the gurus for not being as guru as they should be or it’s just that the hackers/crackers were really good?

Thanks.

I never stated Linux was a required pre-requisite. I merely implied that the average Linux user is bound to be aware of that option. I publicly claim they're incompetent just to tick them off, but they're generally stupid anyway. There are a lot of exploits that are capable of being used against Etisalat, but those that do take such kinds of action usually are never apprehended unless they do something serious because they have too many people to go after. Etisalat messes up a lot with proxy caching and such, and we all remember that incident where people could log into other Gmail accounts.
Of course, no ISP, hacker, programmer, corporation, or any such entity is without fault, it just happens that we conveniently blame Etisalat because we hate them for blocking completely rational sites and being the most expensive telecommunications company in the world.

I agree with xaitax on most of his points about anonymity. Strictly speaking, there's no need to bother with anonymity unless absolutely required. Often, being paranoid in situations that don't require paranoia are the situations that trip you up.

Uh, yeah, and most of these 'gurus' that you claim aren't really gurus at all, just living, breathing textbooks. The second they encounter a situation they haven't studied about before, they hyperventilate.
There are very few people, as xaitax said, who are actual experts at hacking and/or forensics, and they tend to get the majority of their knowledge from practical experience. The best way to learn is by doing, not by imprinting photocopies of the book in your head. Seriously, very few of white hats that you encounter, regardless of the stack of certificates they possess are actually *knowledgeable* in their field.

Remember, folks, the number of books you study and certificates with your name branded of them are *not* a measure of knowledge.
