What security/privacy measures do you go through while on the Shroomery?

Do you only use a VPN for browsing and posting on the forum site? Or maybe a proxy, Proxy-chain, tor, tails, or maybe all the above thrown into a VM? What's over kill and what isn't?

Just a VPN, but all my traffic goes through that. No need for anything more secure.

I switch between 2 VPNs. Both of them are free and work well.
I turn off my wifi when not in use. I use a long wifi password. I changed some settings on my router to not allow one-touch wifi protected setup (this is how hackers get into your network).
If you want more protection than that, try a Virtual Machine or burner computer.
If you want something to research and be afraid of... check out evercookie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evercookie

Unless you work at a place where someone watches the internet, or live in a country where the government gets people for going to "bad" sites, any security precautions are probably overkill.
For most people, no one cares which websites you visit as long as it's not child porn.

Your internet service provider (ISP) is logging everything you do with their IP. They are gathering information on what you do and they are selling it to 3rd parties. This could be prevented by using a VPN.
some more info here: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/your-internet-history-is-now-for-sale-heres-how-you-can-protect-it/
I don't want 3rd parties to gather information on me for profits and targeted advertising.
If you use Wifi, please disable your WPS button by logging on your routers page and disabling in the settings. If someone in your neighborhood knows basic wifi security they could easily get into your network from the WPS feature on your router. It's best to disable it.
Did you know that the Facebook app for iPhone allows the microphones in the phone to turn on and listen for keywords to "give better ads".
other than that... the Shroomery does it's part in keeping users secure.

You get gay dating ads? I use an addon to block ads called uBlock Origin.
Why do you need ads for a site you already visit? I guess if you like being judged, profiled, labeled, and targeted by advertising agencies and artificial intelligence.
Your linked article really white-washes this.
Quote:
The feature Facebook is referring to is designed to tag a music or television show in the background when you're writing a status. It requires you to opt-in and was marketed as similar to music-tagging service Shazam.
If you're paranoid, however, and really don't want Facebook listening to anything you say at any time, regardless of its supposed utility to advertisers, you can turn off the app's access to your microphone. In iOS, go to the Settings panel, find Facebook, and slide off the "microphone" option. On Android, go to "Privacy and Safety" in Settings, find the microphone section under the app permissions panel, and toggle off Facebook's access.
By downloading the app you have opted-in, it has access to the microphone by default and admits it listens to background noise.
You know, some people like glyphosate... Others (like me) hate it! Some people like their personal information gathered and sold... Others (like me) hate it! To each there own!

It's personal preference and opinion if it's "needed".
Check out cyber ghost and tunnel bear software. Both are free and have their own pros/cons.
cyber ghost has a short wait time to use and 3 hour limit per use (unlimited uses) I think it doesn't require an account also.
tunnel bear has nearly no wait time but limits on data per account.

When I need to tunnel my connection I use "ssh -D" and bounce through a Linux server elsewhere in the world by setting my SOCKS proxy to localhost.

Alan, can I ask you how you can post photos of picked psilocybin mushrooms online and not be afraid of being arrested? Do you have special permissions to gather these for displays or scientific research?

VPN to get past my ISP. It's a paid VPN to avoid spying (See: Hotspot Shield
Operational security. I never post pictures, information, or stories that can connect this online identity to my offline identity. I even worry about posting things that only a close friend could connect to me. For example: Someone asked to see a picture of one of my knives in the "Post your blade" thread, and I never replied.
The VPN is automatic, and keeping personal details to myself is habit. So really, I'm not doing much.

No one cares about my mushrooms, and the photos are in nature anyway. There is little evidence that I have them.
And in fact I don't have them in my house - I leave them in herbariums which have permission to have them.
They are illegal from the time I pick them to the time I drop them off at the herbarium, but no one really cares about that. I'd be a possession charge anyway, I'd get probation and I would laugh at their silly attempts to stop me. No one is going to track me down on the way from a spot to the herbarium just so they can find a couple grams of mushrooms.
If they wanted to find people who possessed a couple grams of drugs they could just pull over a few drunk drivers at bar time, much easier.
Also I don't travel with a bag of dried mushrooms, I travel with 500 bags of dried mushrooms - 498 or so are not active.

Hard drive nuke CD's aren't a very good idea because they take a long time to overwrite all of the data.
A much better strategy is to either not write the data in the first place and keep everything in memory/online, or use an encrypted partition.

The data would still be there and recoverable. But since you're not a Hollywood movie drug kingpin they're not using digital data against you in the first place. They have all they need on you by the time they get permission to break into your residences

Short circuiting the computer and hard drive would not erase any data.

That would not destroy the data either.
It's best to use strong encryption, so they can get the data all they want, but it'll be gibberish.

I don't tell people where I live or my name or any personal info. I keep to the topic at hand. I don't do dumb things IRL to get the cops looking at my PC. That's the #1 safety precaution you can take.

Most kiddie porn consumers are caught because they do things like hand their phone over to the Geek Squad while there's kiddie porn on it. The FBI isn't nearly as powerful as they want people to think that they are. They want people to think that they can run overbearing surveillance on everything, but they really can't. It's the same sort of logic behind using polygraph tests.

I think it's more like when they bust a site they go and bust all the users, either via IP addresses or credit card numbers. Tor will stop them from busting them via IP address, if they are dumb enough to pay for child porn with a credit card, nothing will stop them from being busted.

It is enough to get a search warrant - it is not enough for a conviction. What they do is find the ISP with a whois lookup, then send a subpoena to the ISP to find out which customer was using that IP address at the time the child porn was downloaded. If it's a cell phone they subpoena the phone company for the phones location and then go get it. If it's a house they raid the house, seize all the computers and drives, and search them for child porn.
Most child porn aficionados are too stupid to use encryption, most of the people in jail for it would not be if they had used it since the cops have a hard time seeing the screens of child porn viewers.
I've had to work on a few child porn cases, what would happen is that the FBI would contact my work and give us the IP of someone who was downloading child porn while at work. I'd find out which office used that IP, then go in to the office after they went home for the day, remove the drive and clone it. Then I had to look through their files for child porn. If I found any I'd send it to the FBI, and a few days later the person would be arrested at their house and I would never see them again. The whole process isn't very fun for anyone involved.

An IP address isn't even enough for a search warrant. It's not illegal to communicate with a server that hosts kiddie porn and the FBI doesn't even come close to having the sort of resources that would allow them to monitor connections like that. It's not like the FBI is run by some super badass blackhat ninjas who can just peruse a server's logs either. Usually they catch people downloading kiddie porn because they're doing things like downloading it via torrent.

The sad reality is the government seems to focus on drug related sites more than CP sites. Anonymous seems to have done more to combat the rampant pedophilia on the web than the government has.

An IP address is enough for a search warrant, because the standard of evidence necessary to obtain a warrant is probable cause. It's not a very high standard of evidence, and just means that they have some evidence that a crime may have occurred.
It is not illegal to communicate with a server that hosts kiddie porn, but it is illegal to download kiddie porn from that server. By default the web server access logs keep track of which IP downloaded which images, if your IP downloaded an illegal image then it's very likely that image is on your device, allowing them to get a warrant to search for it.
The FBI doesn't monitor connections much, what they do is bust kiddie porn websites and then use the webserver access logs to find the IP's of the people who downloaded illegal content.

I agree that they have very few to no blackhats, but what they do have is the ability to waltz into a colocation facility and physically grab a server. Most of these places don't use full drive encryption because if they do, then they need to enter a password to boot up the server, and that becomes a pain in the ass. Also child porn sites are probably not too concerned with covering the asses of their clients.

Getting a search warrant is a lot more difficult than you seem to think that it is, in part because of the fact that the standard for probable cause is a lot higher than you think that it is.
And no, the FBI can't just waltz into a building and seize a bunch of stuff. Unless they go through some very specific procedures that the bureaucracy condones then nothing that they discover as a result will do them fuck-all good as evidence.

I agree that they have very few to no blackhats, but what they do have is the ability to waltz into a colocation facility and physically grab a server. Most of these places don't use full drive encryption because if they do, then they need to enter a password to boot up the server, and that becomes a pain in the ass.
They have an increasing number of capable hackers, but moreover they are willing to spend a lot of money paying even more capable consulting groups if the target warrants it.

Also child porn sites are probably not too concerned with covering the asses of their clients.
The academic and legal literature on the war against child pornography has been a very interesting read. One of the reasons why they have been such a troublesome adversary for LE is that the communities seem to place a heavy emphasis on security and looking out for one another. As a result, they are hard to bring down even when infiltrated. In other words, they are actually particularly concerned with protecting their clients. This is why LE has long favored a reverse bust approach setting up honeypot mail order or internet websites or turning a seized one into a honeypot if they get that lucky. Yes, your government has long sent out real child pornography via mail in order to bust people. Due to the long history of reverse busts, these groups have placed a much heavier emphasis on anonymity and decentralization and minimizing exposure and evidence. Unlike darknet marketplaces which transact physical goods, CP groups seem to be more organic like a community based illegal filesharing (i.e. torrent) website and thus relatively immune to many of the techniques used against DNM vendors and users.

The legality of honey pots was still in question until recently in which the FBI can now obtain a warrant for simply using Tor.

The government has superior technology to the public. It is unlikely that identities and posts here on the Shroomery are completely concealable. I'm sure they would like you to believe that you can hide, but IMHO that is doubtful.

It's not technology they need it's evidence and a subpoena or warrant. But that costs money, at least in manpower, so you have to be worth it to them.

I don't get it while people still come up with this bullshit. YES, there is the NSA who might have superior technology. But you're not Fidel Castro so chill. As for "normal" police work....well obviously you never met people working for state agencies.
Also: Most of the cryptographic work is open source. Go check AES or SSL or TLS. Download the source files and have a look inside. But please stop distributing such untrue information.
If someone wants to fully anonymous then they should install a Debian like linux distribution on a USB stick with full encryption. From there you are only using Whonix in a virtual machine.
