In an online world where everything requires signing off on novel-length terms of privacy that no one ever reads, the concept of anonymity can seem absurdly unachievable. Thankfully, computer whiz and security expert Scott Mayer is here to share with you the tips and tricks of dark net hacker forums.
In Operational Anonymization: Regain Your Privacy and Anonymity, Mayer lays out the basics of completely private web use, explaining everything from Tor and virtual private networks to Bitcoin and encrypted e-mail servers. The book is organized into easy-to-read topical chapters, meaning you can easily find the information you need and skip over the sections that don’t apply to you or your business.
Mayer says, “Whether you are an activist, whistleblower, or just a citizen who both likes the idea of anonymity and deserves the privacy and security that the Constitution of the United States of America has promised you, you too can be a master at operational anonymization.”
Don’t let hackers and Internet spies have the upper hand. Learn the tricks of their trade with how to hide your identity, cover your tracks, and keep your data safe and secure.
