We all know about PRISM. The Surveillance Program allowing the U.S Government to access private user information. Such as,Google Searches, Tweets, Facebook Posts, Private Images, and other private user data."Hiding" yourself can be very difficult, but it is possible. I'm here to show youHow to Become Anonymous & Browse the Internet Safely.Step 1: Deleting Old Email & Social Accounts.Removing your real identity from social media sites and website databases is important when keeping your real identity Anonymous. If that is not possible (for instance, email accounts or other) change the name of said account to a random name, thus making it seem like a different person. (If your email is something like: "JonDoe123@email.com" then deleting the account would be better for you)Step 2: Worry Free Site BrowsingUsing a normal browser such as, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and others won't work in terms of staying anonymous. These browsers don't encrypt the users data, leaving it open to phishers and keyloggers. If you want to stay anonymous, then you need to downloadTor.Tor allows full privacy and encryption. It has many features, some include,Automatic IP Changing (allowing you to make accounts without being traced)NoScript (disallows certain "suspicious" scripts and cookies from showing and saving your data)Anonymous Networking (allowing encrypted browsing)and many more...Tor also includes a cracked version of Mozilla Firefox, all plugins included. The downside to Tor is that, it disables mandatory plugins such as, Flash, Java, and other important scripts. These can be re-enabled by installing them manually in the Tor Directory.Step 3: Precautions for Signing Up on Website'sIf you're like me and like to use sites like, Gmail, YouTube, Twitter, and others, then you'll need to use a Fake Name, Fake Date of Birth, and Fake Profile icon. These factors are the most important when masking your real identity. Using your creativity can benefit you most of the time, but if you can't think of a Name, Username or Password then Name Generators can do the trick. Websites like:ListOfRandomNames.comDate Time Value GeneratorFilecrop's usernames.txt listAll of these can benefit you when making a new Email, YouTube Account, Twitter, or even Facebook.Please NoteUse these tips in line of other tips such as, Encrypting your files, passwords and others.P.S This was my first post here so please be gentle with criticism.Want to start making money as a white hat hacker?Jump-start your hacking career with our2020 Premium Ethical Hacking Certification Training Bundlefrom the newNull Byte Shopand get over 60 hours of training from cybersecurity professionals.Buy Now (90% off) >Other worthwhile deals to check out:97% off The Ultimate 2021 White Hat Hacker Certification Bundle99% off The 2021 All-in-One Data Scientist Mega Bundle98% off The 2021 Premium Learn To Code Certification Bundle62% off MindMaster Mind Mapping Software: Perpetual LicenseRelatedHow To:Stay Anonymous on Your Nexus 7How To:Browse securely with SSH and a SOCKS proxyHow To:Bypass School Internet Filters to Unblock WebsitesHow To:A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Internet: Today and Now, How It All ConnectsHow To:Stay as Anonymous as Possible OnlineHow To:Browse the Internet anonymouslyTypoGuy Explaining Anonymity:Who Is Anonymous?How To:Make Google Chrome open in Incognito Mode by defaultHow To:Browse the Internet Safely for 10 Years with This VPNTypoGuy Explaining Anonymity:Your Real IdentityAnonymous Texting 101:How to Block Your Cell Phone Number While Sending Text MessagesSamsung Internet 101:How to Password-Protect Your Private Browsing SessionsNews:A Rundown of the Privacy Policies for Major Mobile Carriers & ISPsNews:Opera's Android Browser Just Got Native Ad-BlockingHow To:Who Is Anonymous?
