Welcome to Sealth VM’s blog.

For the impatients:

Download the VirtualBox image. (torrent uploaded to TPB, with OpenBittorrent as tracker). Load the image into VirtualBox. Password is “newcomer”.

This VM is pre-loaded with 3 anonymity tools that you may try.

I2P is an anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive applications can use to securely communicate. All data is wrapped with several layers of encryption, and the network is both distributed and dynamic, with no trusted parties.

Many applications are available that interface with I2P, including mail, peer-peer, IRC chat, and others.

Usage:

1) Start the Start_I2P.sh script on the Desktop, select Run in Terminal. If asked for the root password, enter “newcomer”.

2) Browse : Open Firefox, then navigate to “http://127.0.0.1:7657/index.jsp” or by clicking the IRP Router Console bookmark in firefox. Be sure to enable FoxyProxy in the top right corner of firefox. (It should be enabled already)

Since then, every url ending with .i2p/ will be redirected through the I2P proxy.

TOR + OnionCat

Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.

Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol.

Usage : start Firefox. (Tor is started at boot time).

Every .onion url is redirected through onion cat

Every URL is redirected through TOR, excepted google url’s.

Some useful bookmarks to start with, are in Firefox, like :

Anonet

In early 2005, a few people fed up with the way the Internet was heading, began in earnest to create a large wide area network that was secure and lived in its own space. On this new network anyone would be free to do as they saw fit – roam about, host services, or just be social without fear of being monitored or even worse censored. The first step to bring this network to fruition was to encrypt the information that normally travels across the Internet. What they ended up with is known as anoNet.

This network was inspired by MetaNet, another “dark” network on the Internet, that used similar techniques to reach their goals. A few “core” members of anoNet were once a part of MetaNet but due to their strict nature, peering with MetaNet was lost and they became an “island”. anoNet has already surpassed what MetaNet had in membership, and is on its way to being a viable alternative to the “Internet” you currently know, whether you love it or hate it.

If you are feeling adventurous check it out. If you are feeling really adventurous you can help; there is still lots to be done.

Usage: Start AnoNet (openvpn) by launching Start_AnoNet.sh on the Desktop (select Run in Terminal). If asked for a password, enter “newcomer”.

Once connected, launch firefox and visit http://wiki.ano to learn more about this darknet. The DNS of AnoNet is not used, but /etc/hosts is full of known hosts for this darknet. Feel free to add more at your convenience.
