Idiot Proof PGP Guide * 7
    #21549376 - 04/14/15 11:19 PM (9 years, 1 month ago)

PGP is important to know for those who like to engage in potentially illegal activites, erhmm, online. I'll try to make this as simple and easy as possible to understand. Mods, please consider NOT moving this to the security subforum, if you must, I understand... but this is important information for a not insignificant number of members on this site.

What is PGP?


PGP stands for "Pretty good Privacy", it is a cryptography standard used to communicate securely without the need to exchange a secret password. It can also be used to authenticate communications between individuals. It is secure, and currently adequate protection for highly sensitive information.

Why use PGP?


Using PGP eliminates the possibility of a third party eavesdropping on your conversations, including the NSA. You can speak to other PGP users with complete freedom from the fear of prosecution or arrest. If you get into trouble with the law all of your communications will be absolutely useless to prosecutors, they will only see scrambled text.


How does PGP work?


Instead of using one password to encrypt and decrypt files, PGP generates two keys, one being your private key, which only you should have, and the other being a public key, a key which is public and is needed by anyone that wants to send encrypted data to you. If someone encrypts a file using your publicly available key, it can only be decrypted by your private key, which no one else should have access to but you. It does this using trapdoor functions and operates on the P vs NP problem. 

How difficult is it to use?


Not that difficult, anyone capable of posting on this site will not have a problem if they follow this guide. Commands lines can be scary to non techies, just roll with it... it's not rocket surgery.

On Absolute File Paths


If you need to find the absolute path of a file follow these instructions:

MAC

Just drag the file you want the path of into terminal, terminal will echo the absolute file path. Copy it and store it in a temporary text file for further reference.

Windows (Vista, 7, 8)


Hold down Shift and right click on the file you want the path of, click "Copy as Path". Your file's path is now stored in your clipboard, save it to a text file for further reference.

Getting Started


Step one: Download GnuPG

Windows
Mac
Android

Install it.

Creating your private and public key


Open the program "GPG Keychain Access" you previously downloaded.

Click on the button "New"



Enter in a fake name. Do not use your real name. Do not enter your real email. Change the keylength field to to 4096.



Enter in a secure password, it should be random and look something like this: #jP0_5*d@ejNk^8Mn!_&Is. Save this password in a secure place, do not type it online, ever, and do not share it with anyone.



Now, your "GPG Keychain Access" program should look something like this:



Note the left column designations. Across from the account you created it will say "sec/pub" meaning you have both the secret and public keys for this account. Notice the default contact labeled "GPG Tools Team", it is only designated "pub" as you only have this account's public key. You can encrypt information with this public key, but you can't decrypt it as you don't have the private key.

Next, on the right you can see the column labeled "Short ID", this column will be extremely important later.

Ok, so now you have a public and private key pair. How do you share/obtain your public key?

Right click on the key pair you have just created and click "Export":



Name the file whatever you want, I usually just keep it as a default ID, but make sure you have the ASCII option selected:



Now you have a text file somewhere labeled (whatever you chose).asc. ASC files contain plain text. The one I created for this example looks like this when opened with TextEditor:

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----



If you want to send someone your public key, just copy the text from this ASC file and send it to them. It doesn't matter if anyone gets ahold of this text, it can only be used for encryption.

Importing a Public Key


To import a public key first create a text file, it doesn't matter if it's plaintext (.txt extension) or a rich text file (.rtf extension). Paste the receiver's public key block (as shown above) into this blank file and save it. Its label doesn't matter.

Click "Import":



Select the file which contains your friend's public key block:



The program will automatically create a short ID, pay attention to this, it will be important. GnuPG will also add this account to your list in the main program panel, it will be saved until you choose to delete it. 

Encrypting Plain Text


To encrypt plain text, first create a plain text file (in TextEdit this is Format->Make Plain Text), type your message in this file and save it.

Next, open up Terminal if you're on a mac or CMD if you're on a PC, if you use Linux you already know what's up.

Type into the command line:

Code:
gpg -r [RECEIVER'S SHORT ID] -ea [COMPLETE FILE PATH]



Example (On mac -- windows/linux use the same commands):



This outputs the file /Users/myusername/Desktop/shroomyman.txt.asc. When opened, this file looks like this:

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----



If the short ID of the person you're sending a message to is 01010101 and the path of the file you want to encrypt is C:\user\docs\Letter.txt the proper command would be:

Code:
gpg -r 01010101 -ea C:\user\docs\Letter.txt



A new file will be created with the path "C:\user\docs\Letter.txt.asc".

The file "C:\user\docs\Letter.txt.asc" will contain a block of text which you can view with a text editor. You can now send this block of text to the receiver, at which point he will decrypt it using the following steps. How you get this block of text to him is not important. Email, filedropper... privnote... etc.

Encrypting a Document
 

Command:
Code:
 gpg -e -r  [RECEIVER's SHORT ID] [PATH TO TARGET FILE]



Say a file with the path of "/path/to/file.zip" exists.
If this command is entered:
Code:
 gpg -e -r  01010101 /path/to/file.zip



A new file will be created with the path "path/to/file.zip.gpg".

The GPG extension means it is encrypted, and can only be decrypted by the receiver's private key.

This command will work on all types of files, however I recommend using the plain text commands for sending text.

Decrypting a Document


Code:
gpg -o [PATH TO OUTPUT FILE] -d [PATH TO ENCRYPTED FILE]



[PATH TO OUTPUT FILE] is arbitrary, just make sure the extension is correct for the type of file you're decrypting. E.X. If you are decrypting "/path/to/file.bz2.gpg", your output file should be "/path/to/file.bz2", or you can rename it like "/path/to/newfile.bz2".

If you have the private key to the target file GnuPG will prompt you for the password you used to create the keypair. It will then create a file you specified in [PATH TO OUTPUT FILE]

Decrypting a Plaintext File


Create a plain text file and paste the encrypted PGP block to it. Save is as whatever.txt.asc and use the commands from "decrypting a file".

EX:
[ENCRYPTED FILE] = "/path/to/whatever.txt.asc"
[OUTPUT FILE] = "/path/to/whatever.txt"

Resulting in the command:

Code:
gpg -o /path/to/whatever.txt -d /path/to/whatever.txt.asc



This will create the file "/path/to/whatever.txt" which will be decrypted plaintext.

If anyone has any questions please ask away, I'm here to help... well... I mean if I'm still sober enough to type in one hour. I'll be available throughout this week, and perhaps indefinitely. So seriously, if you are having trouble or need some help, let me know.

This guide could be the difference between freedom and imprisonment if you're Darknet inclined.

Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky

You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by

I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me

I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

Short answer: yes. If you use TOR keeping it up to date is an absolute must. If you buy from established and highly rated vendors (good stealth, shipping etc..) and only send your personal info via PGP you should be golden. I also use a VPN to mask TOR activity from my internet service provider, but it's probably overkill.

Is using a public hotspot just as good as the VPN service pretty much? I've always been curious about pgp, I really do thank your for this tutorial +5.

I would say yes, if you're only using TOR on that public hotspot. Public wifi is notoriously hackable and non-secure.

Hey, no problem man, I'm just trying to bring PGP to the masses. :bigjoint:

no because of time stamps, doing that actually ruins your privacy.  With a time stamp, and a public ip address (the hotspot) they know when and where you were when you typed your message.  So, they go there, find a camera somewhere, then they can figuer it out, with enough time.

On OS X if you go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services

it's nice to make keyboard shortcuts for OpenPGP: Decrypt, OpenPGP Encrypt, OpenPGP: Sign, and Open PGP Verify

Enable "OpenPGP: Decrypt" and set its shortcut to ⌃⌥⌘- (i.e., control option command minus)
Enable "OpenPGP: Encrypt" and set its shortcut to ⌃⌥⌘= (i.e., control option command equals)
Enable "OpenPGP: Sign" and set its shortcut to ⌃⌥⌘[ (i.e., control option command open bracket)
Enable "OpenPGP: Verify" and set its shortcut to ⌃⌥⌘] (i.e., control option command close bracket)

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

You have a very good tutorial, but recommending using a public hotspot as good as a VPN service is actually a pretty bad idea, and if anything, makes you more likely to get caught.

I commend you for writing this tutorial, and doing it in a very easy to follow, yet covers a lot of information. Please however unless you know anything about Internet protocols, how the Internet works, and if you don't know what the OSI model is, you REALLY shouldn't be giving the advice of using a public hot spot over a VPN, as you could very well get someone arrested.

No this is a terrible idea, when you're on a public hotspot you have no idea who else is on it, recording who accesses the network, and perhaps even sniffing your traffic, or even worse launching MITM attacks.

Not to mention that whoever owns the hotspot, could record your MAC address, could have video cameras recording you, and notice that you're using TOR, etc...

Using a public hotspot is incredibly risky, and opens you up to more threats that you would face simply using your home internet connection.


edit:

For example right now I could trick anyone on my home network into thinking my laptop is my router, and/or launch a variety of attacks such as privilege escalation, MITM, packet sniffing, etc.. Without you even realizing.

If you were using Tor when doing this, there is a chance I could reveal what you are doing, and gather enough information about you to identify who you are.

Also if you're using darknet markets, or the TOR network for any activity use this https://tails.boum.org/

If you're host system is compromised in any way, using TOR is essentially pointless.

I misspoke, I meant it was adequate change your IP address, which it is. That's all, nothing more. I wrote the OP and subsequent responses on a cocktail of xanax, kratom, and alcohol.

Yes hotspots are notoriously nonsecure, I believe I mentioned that.

I agree with everything you have said by the way.

I'm weary. For people that have done this did u get any threats from this and which programs do u download and in which order?
