You're supposed to use your real picture on a fake ID, that way you can actually use it. That had absolutely nothing to do with Ross Ulbricht getting caught.
Good point. However, it did. He used nine fake IDs, all with different names, etc. He used these IDs to sign up for server rentals across the world. He didn't have to use a real picture of himself to gain access to these servers, he could have provided any type of ID. If it really did come down to having to use a real photograph, it could have been more use to limit his exposure. Nine fake IDs with the same picture, different names implies someone is hiding their real identity. He could have limited his evidence. It ended up catching up to him in the end.
@@collinsinfosec ehhh yes and no...it does look bad but when they found the 9 IDs package Ross said he had no knowledge of it and refused the package and didn't get arrested... Although at that point they were alrdy on his trail so it didn't matter much regardless
If you take a basic scenario of a simple machine setup, xp service pack 3 with no anti virus or firewall and a basic connection to it, what are the chances that a remote connection would be identified. The example given here is top level, not an isolated machine in some dead beat dump of a one person band business. It is probably unlikely that any connection over the net would even be known by anybody.
Loved the vid I think you really summarized everything really well. I did want to say though I’m still new to the cybersecurity world as I’m really in robotics, but assuming I an attacker could use some sort of small pi like device to connect to virtually with it running a live os like you described I could have it connect directly to the victims network, or even just as a dummy ip in case of middle man failure. I was thinking about this with some of my own applications on a defensive standpoint luckily I’m able to hard wire everything so they’d have to literally tap in without me knowing.

Objective and Useful video! Thank you Grant!
It’s quite fun to be a Ukrainian “military guy” (a conscripted software engineer) and to see another Ukrainian military guy in a video like this at 0:33
guy I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe.
I got it in my about tab.
wow i was *literally thinking of this rn!*
One could yield the same results utilizing a virtual machine and deleting the OS

My dear FBI agent,
I am watching this video only for education reasons, please don't barge into my house.

I love this comment 😂
You're supposed to use your real picture on a fake ID, that way you can actually use it. That had absolutely nothing to do with Ross Ulbricht getting caught.
Good point. However, it did. He used nine fake IDs, all with different names, etc. He used these IDs to sign up for server rentals across the world. He didn't have to use a real picture of himself to gain access to these servers, he could have provided any type of ID. If it really did come down to having to use a real photograph, it could have been more use to limit his exposure. Nine fake IDs with the same picture, different names implies someone is hiding their real identity. He could have limited his evidence. It ended up catching up to him in the end.
@@collinsinfosec ehhh yes and no...it does look bad but when they found the 9 IDs package Ross said he had no knowledge of it and refused the package and didn't get arrested... Although at that point they were alrdy on his trail so it didn't matter much regardless
IN THE CLOSET!
Lmao owner of silk road : they think i am dumb enough to use mine when i can just use someone else's😂
dont forget to destroy your memory (RAM) and Hard Drive, always use fresh hard drive or buy second used
I’m just trying to protect myself I’m scared
If you take a basic scenario of a simple machine setup, xp service pack 3 with no anti virus or firewall and a basic connection to it, what are the chances that a remote connection would be identified. The example given here is top level, not an isolated machine in some dead beat dump of a one person band business.
It is probably unlikely that any connection over the net would even be known by anybody.
Using you photo on a fake id is something most if not all would use. If you need to use it why use someone's else photo 🙄
You need your face to match the id thats the point of it.
Dont blame yourself your not a criminal so you wouldn’t understand
Very grateful, everything works perfectly. Keep it up!
seriously tho, if you are learning how to become a hacker, there is no way you do not know what an IP address is...
Loved the vid I think you really summarized everything really well. I did want to say though I’m still new to the cybersecurity world as I’m really in robotics, but assuming I an attacker could use some sort of small pi like device to connect to virtually with it running a live os like you described I could have it connect directly to the victims network, or even just as a dummy ip in case of middle man failure. I was thinking about this with some of my own applications on a defensive standpoint luckily I’m able to hard wire everything so they’d have to literally tap in without me knowing.
*Mentions to use Tails on a live USB then shows using Kali.
>shows how to harden opsec onlin
>uses windows as the host OS
Since a live session won’t save downloaded software a hacker wouldn’t use Tails.
They would use something like Kali or ParrotOS.

Vpn is on side of those who pays more
thanks brother. basic but good
You forgot about a dozen unique identifiers that firefox logs with your header
Great video man. New subscriber ✌🏻

Offensive security...love that term ✌️
great video with some useful tips i have never thought about before. thanks grant!
8:31 I knew it: logs! I think i heard this on Jack Rhysiders podcast with some who did the forensics after the case…
