Untraceble email back to my computer/identity ?

May 25, 2005 18 Replies

Hello



I live in a non-US country and would like to report something illegal via email, however I am fearful of the email being traced back to me somehow.



Does anyone have a recommendation on how to do this?



I was planning on the below, from an internet cafe or hotel business center or library:


  1. Configuring web browser to connect via proxy in another country
  2. Use web-based Type-II remailer such as RIOT or PARONIA to send email. Links below

is this a good plan? I do NOT have access to my own computer, allowing me to run Quicksilver or Jack B Nymble.



Another idea is use Anonymizer (paid for with cash) and launch HushMail while Anonymizer is active, and send the email. This can be done while connected to a proxy server located in another country, altho this may or may not be necessary for anonyminity.



comments, thoughts?



Thank You

Use Hotmail.

Please don't place much value in Beavis' verbal outbursts. He's been dropped on his head, as a child. Several times.

Your original suggestions appear sensible.

Beavis, I post something every day. But thanks for noticing.

Really, Beavis?

You use slrn. I dare you to post a link to the patch to slrn that does anything like this. Come on, Beavis. Here's your chance to prove that you've been properly toilet-trained; that you're actually telling the truth and not whistling through your ass.

Post the link, Beavis.

But, we all know that you won't. Your problem is not just that you're a dumbass. Your problem is that you religiously believe that nobody realizes that you're a dumbass.

And that's precisely why you're a dumbass. Figure it out.

Tell the jerk to f**k off. However keep the racism out !

Sure you do. And you are stupid enough to expect us to believe a word you say after going on (snipped part below) about using proxies and anonymous remailers, which you are obviously very familiar with.

Right.

If you want to report something illegal anonymously, use snail mail.

That's what people with brains do.

Trolls, not having any brains, are always looking for ways to post to various servers anonymously.

They don't realize that the only reason that no one has tracked them down (or rather, bothered to do anything with that information) is that no one has any reason to do so: Trolls don't DO anything but run their ignorant mouths on the Internet.

No one is going to take information that comes via an 'anonymous' email seriously. Unlike trolls, most people have functioning minds.

Spealing of trolls, I see that "Sam" has posted something again.

174:[Sam ] XXXXXXX

My newsreader strips the body, and extraneous headers from the posts of known trolls, and changes the Subject to XXXXXX as above.

I suppose that he is complaining about his Mommy not changing his diapers often enough again.

Hmm, that kind of goes against the whole concept of wanking, eh?

I can't think of any better example of a troll post. You've illustrated your point very well.

Not if they know they are a suspect and know anything about modern forensic document analysis. If you are sure you are not being followed and can get access to a computer then I would suggest that you would be safer using email than post if you wanted to be a whistleblower.

Yes they do, they live under bridges......

Actually, I'd tend to disagree with that. It's like saying that nobdy takes what comes in an unsigned note seriously and law enforcement organizations do that all the time.

Since when is 'Hispanic' a race?

....alright you guys win the "gross me out" contest. Congrats...

Gross? We haven't even brought hamsters into this thread.

What's this, Craw's version of a domesticated squirrel? ;p

heh it was just the first general foreigner offensive word that popped into my head.

Perhaps he was just a really clean wanker?
