🥷Anonymity
If you want to actually survive, read on.
Anonymity isn’t about hiding your IP. It’s about not being identifiable — behaviorally, technically, and operationally.
🖥️ Core Architecture: Isolation & Compartmentalization
✅ The Only Working Setup: Qubes OS + Whonix (or Kicksecure)
Forget VirtualBox + Whonix on Windows. That’s entry-level. It’s fragile, detectable, and one misstep exposes everything.
Setup:
Qubes OS (Xen-based, security-by-isolation)
Whonix-Gateway running in a dedicated NetVM
Whonix-Workstation as AppVM, forced through Tor
All sensitive tasks (drainer, wallet) in separate, disposable VMs
Why Qubes? Because your browser, wallet, and Telegram client shouldn’t share the same kernel. Qubes isolates them completely — even if one gets compromised, the others stay clean.
🌐 Network Layer
✅ Do:
Use Tor Browser in Whonix-Workstation
Enable Safest Security Level (JavaScript off)
Use onion services when available (e.g., ProtonMail onion)
Route all traffic through Tor
❌ Don’t:
Use bridges unless you’re in a censored country (obfs4 breaks fingerprinting)
Touch “Tor alternatives” like I2P or Lokinet — they’re dead or trivial to deanonymize
Assume DNS or WebRTC leaks are your biggest problem — they’re not
🧬 Fingerprinting
Your browser fingerprint is more unique than your face.
Websites collect:
Canvas, WebGL, font rendering
Screen size, timezone, language
AudioContext, battery status
Client hints, TLS fingerprint (JA3), HTTP/2 signatures
Even in Tor, you stand out if you don’t blend in.
Minimize Fingerprint Drift:
Use Tor Browser — it’s the only one that actively resists fingerprinting
Never resize the window (Tor uses fixed size)
Disable custom fonts, extensions, or scripts
Avoid WebGL-heavy sites (they increase entropy)
🔍 Test yourself: https://browserleaks.com If your fingerprint isn’t identical to other Tor users — you’re exposed.
💾 Data Protection: Full Disk + Memory Security
Use VeraCrypt
System encryption, not just file containers
Hidden OS with plausible deniability
No auto-mount, no saved passwords
Wipe RAM on shutdown (Qubes does this)
Never store decrypted data on SSD — wear leveling leaks data even after deletion.
🕵️♂️ Operational Security (OpSec)
Tools don’t protect you. Habits do.
Critical Rules:
No reuse
One identity per campaign
One email, one VM, one wallet, one exit
Burn after use
No cross-contamination
Never copy-paste between VMs
No shared folders, no USB passthrough
Use Qubes qrexec for secure inter-VM comms (if absolutely needed)
No personal info anywhere
No real names, no birthdays, no photos
Even metadata (EXIF, document author) can burn you
Time & behavior masking
Don’t log in at the same time every day
Don’t use the same typing rhythm
Whonix includes
kloak— use it to randomize keystroke timing
Physical security matters
Webcam covered?
Microphone disabled?
Are you being watched?
This is the baseline. Anything less is gambling with your freedom.
