    Vpn & Security

    in Security

    Posted · Edited by bigdog2626

    i having been reading & searching all day & nite for answers for what vpn would be a good one to go with & this is the best ones from my understanding for online anonymity best to worst IMO from searching & reading

    AirVPN

    mullvad

    perfect-privacy

    ivpn.net

    incloak vpn

    VPN4All

    Ipredator

    BTguard

    but i still have ?s to be answered like does a vpn work with http & https normal web browsing

    does it protect me from being unmasked &/are from my isp viewing any data received & sent while connected vpn

    & if anyone has used these vpns how often does disconnection happen during my online connection

    i have read that happens which is not good for security reasons

    & this might be a noob one but what is a Fixed IP is that a static ip

    Fix Bad Sectors Or Clusters On Hard Drive

    in Questions

    Posted

    Took me awhile to sort out my registration so I could post on this Thread, alas I now can.

    I read through all the comments on repairing HDD and would say this:

    1. If a HDD has a mechanical failure, i.e. makes a clunking or clanking type noise (similar to a knocking noise) while you are attempting to use it,

    or it does not power on or spin at all, then the HDD most likely is "Kaput"

    2. If however the HDD is recognized by the BIOS and it does spin, then there is hope.

    I have used Spinrite 5 and 6 from the Steve Gibson site as well as the HDD REgenerator both v1.51 and v1.71 from Dmitriy Primochenko many a time with success. The URL's I have provided are the defaults for their location.

    Yes HDD's can be repaired and Bad Sectors can be recovered ! - It just takes a long time to do so and may not be economical to do so.

    When I say a long time I mean an 80GB HDD can take a week or more depending on the number of bad sectors found that need to be recovered.

    3. another point to remember, is that after the repair, and can be attempted before, is to download the "Low Level Formatter" from the HDD's manufacturers web site and load this on a bootable media (HDD, USB or CD or DVD) to be able to test and perform the low level format, and then run the fdisk to see if the failed HDD can accept partitioning , followed by a re-boot and then attempt a normal format with the /u (unconditional) option.

    E.G. at the cmd prompt type format ?: /u (replace the ? with the drive letter on which the HDD is mounted)

    If it performs and does complete the tasks in item 3, which is good and you have your HDD back.

    If attempts in item 3 fail, then you can try the Spinrite or the HDD Regenerators, as the sectors must be in working order before any partitioning or formating can be applied.

    I am currently running such a repair on an 80GB HDD (Seagate) with the older HDD Regenerator v1.51. It has so far run for 3+ days (continuously) and is at the 2352Mb of the 80000 (80GB) and has so far discovered and repaired 29428 bad sectors.

    This is not the first time I have used these utilities to repair HDD, this one is the 63rd HDD with the previous attempts being successful with 51 out of the 62 attempts.

    In closing, I will say to all the sceptics that they are wrong and HDD's can be repaired, if you have the know-how and patients to do so.

    BTW: I also do forensic file recoveries from HDD's and recently recovered a file that the User had deleted 9 month ago.

    I must try the Flobo HDD Bad Sector Repair 1.5

    i found this after searching
    lost clusters with bad sectors
    on google it was the 2nd link at techarena

    lately i have been having hdd issue's which made my windows 7 completely mess up & not load to the desktop just to a black screen no water mark nothing i checked disk right before that & got tons of errors and after that i installed a 2nd hdd to bot from but xp not 7 :angry: :(

    is the a way you guys here would maybe recommended

    1. If a HDD has a mechanical failure, i.e. makes a clunking or clanking type noise (similar to a knocking noise) while you are attempting to use it,

    or it does not power on or spin at all, then the HDD most likely is "Kaput"

    which this hdd isn't making no load noise it powers on & is recognized by windows

    im thinking it might not want to spin sometimes but it does spin since using this 2nd hdd to boot from everything seems to work i ran check disk in cmd & this is what i got

    2. If however the HDD is recognized by the BIOS and it does spin, then there is hope.
    which it is recognized by the bios & does spin with no load clunking sound

    Centralize All Your Files With A Nas

    in Questions

    since i got a new desktop pc my older pc just sits and collects dust

    ive been thinking of making it to where i can access my video files threw it on my win7 pc and xbox one

    http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?showtopic=11525

    3) Centralize all your Files with a NAS. Your old computer may be too slow to do anything of value, but it is probably more than capable of functioning as a File Server. There are many good free and open source NAS systems that are relatively easy to install such as FreeNAS and OpenFiler.
    would that do the trick

    and would i need a 2nd monitor or is there a way i can view what's happening and going on

    on the older pc threw my win7 pc

    Deep Web

    in Questions

    Posted · Edited by bigdog2626

    .onion sites and stuff that can only be accessed threw tor

    underweb darkweb

    here is info on the dark web i found on a different forum

    (Some of this was copied from BB.com, I'm just bringing it to TBN)

    THIS IS LONG, BUT WORTH THE READ.

    For those who don't know, the deep web represents a gargantuan part of the internet which is not accessible through regular searches via google or other search engines.

    Searching on the Internet today can be compared to dragging a net across the surface of the ocean. While a great deal may be caught in the net, there is still a wealth of information that is deep, and therefore, missed. The reason is simple: Most of the Web's information is buried far down on dynamically generated sites, and standard search engines never find it.

    Here are some facts on The Deep Web:

    · Public information on the deep Web is currently 400 to 550 times larger than the commonly defined World Wide Web.

    · The deep Web contains 7,500 terabytes of information compared to 19 terabytes of information in the surface Web.

    · The deep Web contains nearly 550 billion individual documents compared to the 1 billion of the surface Web.

    · More than 200,000 deep Web sites presently exist.

    · Sixty of the largest deep-Web sites collectively contain about 750 terabytes of information — sufficient by themselves to exceed the size of the surface Web forty times.

    · The deep Web is the largest growing category of new information on the Internet.

    · Deep Web sites tend to be narrower, with deeper content, than conventional surface sites.

    · Total quality content of the deep Web is 1,000 to 2,000 times greater than that of the surface Web.

    · Deep Web content is highly relevant to every information need, market, and domain.

    · More than half of the deep Web content resides in topic-specific databases.

    · A full ninety-five per cent of the deep Web is publicly accessible information — not subject to fees or subscriptions.

    What lies beneath the surface is a who's who of hackers, scientists, drug dealers, astronomers, assassins, physicists, revolutionaries, Government officials, Police, Feds, terrorists, perverts, data miners, kidnappers, sociologists, etc. As you can tell, the party goes across the entire moral spectrum.

    I find this subject to be utterly fascinating which needs to be studied further. Whilst there are tons of bad seeds who inhabit this deep web, there's also good seeds who wish to spread their information quickly and most often anonymously, to avoid legal or ethical ramifications.

    In order to access the deep web you use the Tor browser in addition to the Tor extension for Firefox. This is a good starting point.

    And then access the Hidden Wiki which is a small but useful reference point to start on your journey of the deep web. kpvz7ki2v5agwt35.onion

    They got folks who literally can go toe to toe with Anon on there. Dudes who are really dangerous in the sense they are near omnipotent. This is where the serious computer viruses are made and where plots are made. They have security viruses and everything.

    SCREENSHOT OF THE HIDDEN WIKI: http://i.imgur.com/Xq7ih.png

    The reason the "Deep Web" is the way it is is because only about 10 percent of what's on the internet is generally/commercially interesting. Sure you could dig deep into the annals of the information superhighway but most if it is raw information. It's not packaged and easily digestible like stumbleupon or tumblr. They are websites that purposely don't get pinged to search engines so they are harder to find.

    To sum it up, it's basically a private section of server space to share data off record. All that wiki leaks stuffed that leaked a couple months back? That's been on deep web for years. Ever seen a movie and see the bad guy or hacker loggin' into some weird looking private server? that's all real. Generally, terrorist networks, spy agencies, drug dealers, assassins-for-hire, and those looking for child porn lurk around those parts. There's a Hidden Wiki, there, and on the wiki they're categories of links. There are things like blogs, forums (from normal to revolutionary to blatantly illegal), Tor-enabled instant messaging and chat, anonymous file hosting, anonymous financing, anonymous tipping and information exchanges, information on computer security/anonymity, info on warez/cracks/hacking, all the books, music, movies you can possibly imagine, even links to sports betting and trade information, links to international drug markets, prostitution rings, assassin markets, black market products, child pornography, Some of societies most deviant people use this network. Not just those that browse the sites on there but also those who create it and manage them..and it's almost impossible to find either of the offenders.

    Even underground fighting tournaments to the death (I'm not joking very real very organized). Very Real trained professional fighters. It may seem surreal but they are guys that train with the best and want no part of UFC or any fight league. Dudes who really enjoy fighting to the death. It's just crazy explaining it it's not some barroom brawl. These things happen and alot of millionaires pay big money to see them. Modern Gladiator battles. I heard there are some with humans vs animals.

    However, 0.00000001% of all data on the dark web is stuff normal people will be able to access, understand and use. And even a small fraction of that is illegal stuff.. its not like some hardcore underground network of spies, killers, pedos and criminals. The rest % is used by their respected authorities.

    Don't be an idiot and start clicking on links you see on the hiddenwiki, but poke your head in the door you'll see its not modern anarchy in there.

    While the information on the deep web is vastly overwhelming, it should not be feared. In most aspects, the information is just there, it's what you choose to do with the information that can lead you to trouble and imprisonment. Producing, storing, exchanging, transferring information.

    Before you begin I suggest learning how the deep web works and what you can do to better protect yourself against intruders and anything that can compromise your true anonymity

    I'll post how to get on the Hidden Wiki next.

    Here is a screenshot of a typical source in the Deep Web: http://i56.tinypic.com/241wnj5.png.

    This is like some post apacolyptic world where they only accept the bizarre currency bitcoins and all the websites look like they are from 1990's era geocities.

    BTC's are the deep web's form of currency.. bitcoins.

    This **** is hilarious, bizarre, and terrifying..

    half the time the sites dont work and result in the most cryptic jargon filled errors. the other half, you wait ten minutes for it to load only to see something which shocks you because of how serious it is. this is where the hackers hang out. The can use your own webcam to spy on you. (srs)

    I know what you're thinking some of the best hackers around and the server is slow as. The servers are probably used to a pretty small amount of traffic. With the attention deep web has got from niketalk and anon. in the last few days they are probably struggling a bit I reckon. Could be wrong on that but basically patience is a necessity in the deep web.

    Now I'm just a cog in the machine. A really big machine. And really just relaying information found on other fora as mentioned already. I'm just trying to find people that are in it already. I want to know what they're saying on current events, Libya, Nasa investigation on that metorite, higher alien life forms, where Adrian Wojnarowski gets his trade information from etc

    While the information on the deep web is vastly overwhelming, it should not be feared. In most aspects, the information is just there, it's what you choose to do with the information that can lead you to trouble and imprisonment. Producing, storing, exchanging, transferring information.

    Before you begin I suggest learning how the deep web works and what you can do to better protect yourself against intruders and anything that can compromise your true anonymity

    Here, you can read up more about the deep web: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_web

    This has information on what the .onion network is and how it works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.onion

    Here is where you can read up on TOR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)

    GUIDE TO GET ON DEEP WEB

    If you don't have already, download firefox at www.getfirefox.com and once installed, search for the tor extension for Firefox.

    From there, you can get the tor bundle at http://torproject.org

    Click Start Tor Browser once you have completed the steps.

    Firefox will open up with this as the main page

    From there, you are now somewhat anonymous and can now access .onion and the hidden web.

    Keep in mind that Tor is not 100% anonymous...multiple proxies are needed in addition to tor, of course a firewall and Antivirus as well. I'd disconnect or put tape over my webcam , disable javascript cookies, temp data, use ccleaner...

    Hope this helped.

    i know you said entire drive would erase every thing including my os but

    then you don't belong messing with these tools until you have a better understanding of what you are doing. Entire drive
    thats what i thought it would do but wanted to be for sure

    im here to learn more about these tools and much more

    im new to win7 and all these new tools so i guess that makes me a noob when it comes to some of this sh!t

    ive been using ccleaner for about a month R 2 and all i really use is the cleaner but used the registry cleaner like 2 times to clean stuff i know i can clean if i dont know i ask maybe get answer who know right

    If you are looking to destroy data, for security reasons to remove things you don't want recovered, use boot and nuke bootable linux disc like dban. Know though, that all data will be wiped and not recoverable, including the OS itself.
    if that was the case why not just reformat the drive and install windows R whatever os you choice
    Actually I recently read somewhere that zeroing out data isn't as secure as it seemed, even a 7 pass DOD standard. The article was saying that the only real way to "securely" delete data was to irrevocably damage the drive physically... Let me see if I can find the source I was reading.
    that would be a good read

    so my main ? now is

    in ccleaner free space only what does that delete

    Eraser

    thanks found it

    now im not

    but i have tampered in it from time to time reading tut's and all was good ccleaner pick's up alot of errors in that department

    also inside the ccleaner cleaner what box's would you suggest for me tick to clean
