Total Anonimity

there is a  way to get anonymous on the web while surfing. Use proxy. but using proxy doesnt mean that u are total anonymous. if u do something illegal, cops can trace u back and put u where u should belong, to the jail!!!!Well what should be done for total anonymity then? Use VPN or virtual private network. So what is the difference between VPN and proxy?
Well the main difference is that proxies dont encrypt ur packets. on the other hand VPNs use SSL or secure socket layer to encrypt ur data. Its basically a 128 bit encryption. So whatever u do only ur browser can read.No person inbetween through which the traffic is passing can read it. Well OK its good enough. But there is a problem!
VPNs are not free or atleast not free without adds. Also they limit downloading. What should we do then?
Super VPN Service which provide all thing u want for anonymity. Here are some things that this site provide:
  • VPN account is for unlimited period of time
  • Connection using PPTP&L2TP protocol. For OpenVPN you must order our SSL/Deluxe VPN package
  • Servers are located in United States and Germany
  • Unlimited amount of traffic
  • High speed internet connection
  • 128 bit encryption
  • Bypasses your ISP’s firewall
  • No provider logs or any trace of your Internet activates
  • Your IP is hidden while using Super VPN services

Window's Tweak: Hack Your Start Button


1. download Resource Hacker. You'll need this to edit resources inside your Windows shell.
2. Locate explorer.exe in your c:\Windows directory. Make a copy of the file in the same directory and rename it explorer.bak.
3. Now launch Resource Hacker. In the File menu, open explorer.exe. You'll now see a tree of collapsed folders.
4. Expand the String Table folder and then find folder No. 37
5. Click on resource 1033 and locate the text that says "Start." This is your Start button, and now you've got control over what it says! Change the "Start" text to your text of choice.
6. Click on the button labeled Compile Script. This updates the settings for your Start button. But nothing will happen until you complete through step #20, so keep going!


Change your hover text:
7. While you're here, why not also change the text that pops up when your mouse hovers over your Start button?
8. Right now it says "Click here to begin."
9. Open folder No. 34 and click on resource 1033.
10. Find the text that says "Click here to begin" and change it to something else. Might I suggest "Click here for a good time, baby."
11. Click on the Compile Script button to update this resource.
Customize your Start icon
12. For an added bonus, you can also change the Windows icon to the left of the text, too.
13. Collapse the String Table folder and expand the Bitmap folder at the top of your folder list.
14. Click on folder No. 143 and click on resource 1033. You should see that familiar Windows icon.
15. Go to the Action Menu and select "Replace bitmap." Select "Open file with new bitmap", and locate the replacement image on your machine. Note: The image must have a .bmp extension and a size of 25 pixels by 20 pixels. Then click the Replace button.
Here's the image I've been using instead of the Windows icon, in case you want to use it.
16. Now that you've made your changes, save the file in your Windows folder with another name, such as newstartbutton.exe. Don't name it Explorer.exe, because that file is already being used by your system. Close all open programs and restart your system.
17. Boot into Safe Mode With Command Prompt by pressing F8 on startup. Then choose Safe Mode in the command prompt.
18. Log on as administrator and enter your password.
19. When the command prompt comes up, make sure you're in the right directory by typing "cd c:\windows" (without the quotes).
20. Now type "copy c:\windows\newstartbutton.exe c:\windows\explorer.exe" (no quotes). Type "yes" (no quotes) to overwrite the existing file, then restart your system by typing "shutdown -r" (no quotes).

PROXY BASICS:


What is a Proxy Server?
A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resources you are accessing. The data you request come to the proxy first, and only then it transmits the data to you. I know many are looking for IP Maskers or Scramblers, but honestly, it aint real easy for the simple fact that any website that you visit needs your IP to send the info packets too. If its scrambled, you will get alot of errors and crazy redirects :P My solution? Read on........... for a good list of Proxy servers try here:
http://www.multiproxy.org/





Why do I need to use proxy servers?
1.Transfer speed improvement: Proxy servers accumulate and save files that are most often requested by thousands of Internet users in a special database, called “cache”. Therefore, proxy servers are able to increase the speed of your connection to the Internet. The cache of a proxy server may already contain information you need by the time of your request, making it possible for the proxy to deliver it immediately.


2.Security and privacy: Anonymous proxy servers that hide your IP address thereby saving you from vulnerabilities concerned with it.
Sometimes you may encounter problems while accessing to web server when server administrator restricted access from your IP or even from wide IP range (for example restricting access from certain countries or geographical regions). So you try to access those pages using an anonymous proxy server.


What is a public proxy server?
It is a proxy server which is free and open for everybody on the Internet. Unfortunately most of them are not anonymous.
Free service trying to provide list of public HTTP proxy servers, Usually provide small list of proxies with low percent of functioning servers due to hosting restrictions on CPU time (they simply can't allow themselves to check many proxies every second especially in parallel).
The Solution?
When using an anonymous proxy server you don’t give a anybody chance to find out your IP address to use it in their own interests. ;) If there is a need to make an (inner) proxy connect to the outside world via another (outer) proxy server, you can use the same environment variables as are used to redirect clients to the proxy to make inner proxy use the outer one:
http_proxy
ftp_proxy
gopher_proxy
wais_proxy
E.g. your (inner) proxy server's startup script could look like this:
#!/bin/sh
http_proxy=http://outer.proxy.server:8082/
export http_proxy
/usr/etc/httpd -r /etc/inner-proxy.conf -p 8081
This is a little ugly, so there are also the following directives in the configuration file:
http_proxy http://outer.proxy.server/
ftp_proxy http://outer.proxy.server/
gopher_proxy http://outer.proxy.server/
wais_proxy http://outer.proxy.server/
