WEBVTT 00:00.690 --> 00:02.100 Hello and welcome. 00:02.550 --> 00:03.640 My name is Zaid. 00:03.660 --> 00:06.120 I'm an ethical hacker, a computer scientist. 00:06.120 --> 00:08.490 And I'll be your instructor in this course. 00:14.680 --> 00:17.410 Now before diving into the course content. 00:17.410 --> 00:21.730 Let's talk about the main topics that we're going to cover in this course. 00:21.940 --> 00:28.000 So we're going to talk about privacy, anonymity, the Darkweb and security. 00:28.690 --> 00:34.870 I chose to cover all of these topics in one course because I think they are very related. 00:34.870 --> 00:40.660 And sometimes on the Internet it's very difficult to achieve one of them without the others. 00:41.050 --> 00:46.600 So starting with the first one, privacy means that no one knows what you do. 00:46.720 --> 00:52.960 For example, when you go and enter your house, people can see that you entered your house, but they 00:52.960 --> 00:55.450 don't know what you do inside the house. 00:55.450 --> 01:03.160 Therefore, your private anonymity, on the other hand, means that people can see what you're doing, 01:03.160 --> 01:04.990 but they don't know who you are. 01:05.230 --> 01:10.840 For example, let's say while you're inside your house, you put a mask on and then you leave the house 01:10.840 --> 01:12.580 and start washing your car. 01:12.700 --> 01:17.530 Now people can see that there is somebody washing the car so they can see what you're doing. 01:17.530 --> 01:23.500 They can see the activity, but they don't know who is that person washing the car because you have 01:23.500 --> 01:26.200 a mask, therefore you're hiding your identity. 01:26.850 --> 01:32.490 So when your private people know who you are, but they don't see what you do when you're anonymous, 01:32.490 --> 01:38.850 people see what you do but don't know who is that person doing that activity so they don't know your 01:38.850 --> 01:39.720 identity. 01:40.350 --> 01:46.590 Now, on the Internet, usually we just want to be private, so we don't want other parties to be able 01:46.590 --> 01:50.730 to see the messages or the emails or whatever we do on the Internet. 01:51.300 --> 01:57.990 Unfortunately, though, it is very difficult to be private on the Internet because in order to use 01:57.990 --> 02:03.090 the Internet, you have to use resources that are not owned by you. 02:03.810 --> 02:06.570 So you have to use an Internet service provider. 02:06.570 --> 02:12.330 And when you're accessing websites or using services, you're using servers owned by the services or 02:12.330 --> 02:13.580 by third parties. 02:13.590 --> 02:18.090 Therefore, you can't really control how your data is being handled. 02:18.780 --> 02:22.050 For example, let's say you try to go to Google.com. 02:22.200 --> 02:26.940 This request will, first of all, pass through a number of stops or a number of routers. 02:26.940 --> 02:29.910 It will go to your Internet service provider again. 02:29.910 --> 02:35.370 It will pass through a number of routers and a number of stops and eventually reaches Google servers, 02:35.370 --> 02:41.130 which again are not controlled by you and then you get your response through a similar route. 02:41.820 --> 02:47.670 Therefore, both your request and the response will pass through a number of stops that you don't own 02:47.670 --> 02:48.690 or don't control. 02:48.690 --> 02:54.320 So anybody operating or working on these tabs will be able to see your traffic. 02:54.330 --> 02:56.200 You will be able to see your activity. 02:56.220 --> 03:02.940 Not only that, but hackers and government agencies and other entities can possibly intercept these 03:02.940 --> 03:07.950 requests and responses at any point and therefore see what you're doing. 03:07.950 --> 03:10.200 Therefore, your privacy is gone. 03:11.070 --> 03:15.970 So we use encryption whenever possible in order to improve our privacy. 03:15.990 --> 03:22.230 But like I said, there will be some points and some situations where it is just not possible to be 03:22.230 --> 03:22.900 private. 03:22.920 --> 03:28.260 Therefore, the best solution is to try to become as anonymous as possible. 03:28.260 --> 03:36.030 So if anybody manages to intercept our data, they won't be able to link it to ourselves or to our identity. 03:36.870 --> 03:42.000 Now there are some situations where people actually want to be just anonymous. 03:42.000 --> 03:48.870 For example, journalists usually prefer to publish sensitive posts anonymously so that everybody can 03:48.870 --> 03:49.500 see the post. 03:49.500 --> 03:55.410 So it's not hidden, it's not private, but at the same time it can't be linked to their real identity. 03:56.190 --> 03:59.670 This way the post will be linked to some kind of identity. 03:59.670 --> 04:04.680 So it will be linked to a fake name or simply just numbers or a ghost profile. 04:04.680 --> 04:07.480 But it is linked to some kind of identity. 04:07.500 --> 04:10.620 Therefore, this is known as pseudo anonymity. 04:11.430 --> 04:17.040 Now, in order to achieve the above two things to become more private and more anonymous, we're going 04:17.040 --> 04:18.390 to need two things. 04:18.420 --> 04:24.100 First, we're going to need an anonymizing service that will allow us to become more anonymous. 04:24.120 --> 04:31.890 And two, we're going to need to change our habits when it comes to using online services and use different 04:31.890 --> 04:35.220 services that are more private and more anonymous. 04:35.520 --> 04:40.410 Because the search engines that you're used to, for example, Google and Bing, the emails that you're 04:40.410 --> 04:45.840 used to, Gmail and the others and all of the other services that you're used to use are simply not 04:45.840 --> 04:47.680 private and not anonymous. 04:47.700 --> 04:48.930 They profile you. 04:48.930 --> 04:53.910 They collect data about you, and sometimes even sell it to third parties. 04:55.220 --> 05:02.060 Unfortunately, on the clear net, there aren't a lot of useful online services that are private and 05:02.060 --> 05:02.730 anonymous. 05:02.750 --> 05:09.050 Luckily, though, the anonymizing services that we're going to use from 0.1 in order to become more 05:09.050 --> 05:17.090 anonymous also contain a number of services and websites that only exist within this anonymizing service 05:17.090 --> 05:18.020 or network. 05:18.320 --> 05:23.270 Therefore, these are referred to as Darknet or dark web websites or services. 05:23.420 --> 05:29.840 So I'm going to show you how to properly access the darknet and then use these services to carry out 05:29.840 --> 05:34.010 our day to day tasks in a more anonymous and more private manner. 05:34.700 --> 05:42.260 Last but not least, I also wanted to cover security in this course because you cannot be private and 05:42.260 --> 05:48.440 anonymous if you are not secure, even if you're using the best privacy methods, the best anonymity 05:48.440 --> 05:52.420 methods, the best VPNs, multiple proxies, and so on. 05:52.430 --> 05:58.280 If somebody manages to hack into your computer, then first of all, they'll be able to see all of your 05:58.280 --> 06:01.070 files and see your activity so you're not private. 06:01.070 --> 06:08.630 And they'll also be able to bypass whatever methods you use to become anonymous and anonymize you. 06:08.720 --> 06:13.790 That's why, like I said, you can't really be private and anonymous without being secure. 06:13.790 --> 06:18.110 And by being private and anonymous, you're going to have to use some Darknet services. 06:18.110 --> 06:21.680 Therefore, I'll have to teach you how to access the darknet and use it. 06:22.040 --> 06:27.890 So the four topics really click with each other, and when you learn these topics, you'll be able to 06:27.890 --> 06:30.560 use them and apply them in different situations. 06:30.560 --> 06:36.440 You might be at a scenario that I can think of that requires you to be a little bit private or anonymous, 06:36.440 --> 06:41.900 so you'll be able to learn whatever techniques I teach you in here in terms of anonymity or privacy 06:41.900 --> 06:45.470 and apply them to whatever situation that you're in.
