Over the last 16 months, as I've debated this issue around the world, every single time somebody has said to me, "I don't really worry about invasions of privacy because I don't have anything to hide." I always say the same thing to them. I get out a pen, I write down my email address. I say, "Here's my email address. What I want you to do when you get home is email me the passwords to all of your email accounts, not just the nice, respectable work one in your name, but all of them, because I want to be able to just troll through what it is you're doing online, read what I want to read and publish whatever I find interesting. After all, if you're not a bad person, if you're doing nothing wrong, you should have nothing to hide." <strong>Not a single person has taken me up on that offer.</strong></p>

<p>The UKUSA Agreement is an agreement between the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand to cooperatively collect, analyze, and share intelligence. Members of this group, known as the <a href="http://www.giswatch.org/en/communications-surveillance/unmasking-five-eyes-global-surveillance-practices" target="_blank">Five Eyes</a>, focus on gathering and analyzing intelligence from different parts of the world. While Five Eyes countries have agreed to <a href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/an-exclusive-club-the-five-countries-that-dont-spy-on-each-other/" target="_blank">not spy on each other</a> as adversaries, leaks by Snowden have revealed that some Five Eyes members monitor each other’s citizens and <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jun/21/gchq-cables-secret-world-communications-nsa" target="_blank">share intelligence</a> to <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/jun/10/nsa-offers-intelligence-british-counterparts-blunkett" target="_blank">avoid breaking domestic laws</a> that prohibit them from spying on their own citizens. The Five Eyes alliance also cooperates with groups of third party countries to share intelligence (forming the Nine Eyes and Fourteen Eyes), however Five Eyes and third party countries can and do spy on each other.</p>

<p>Services based in the United States are not recommended because of the country’s surveillance programs, use of <a href="https://www.eff.org/issues/national-security-letters/faq" target="_blank">National Security Letters</a> (NSLs) and accompanying gag orders, which forbid the recipient from talking about the request. This combination allows the government to <a href="https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/08/more_on_the_nsa.html" target="_blank">secretly force</a> companies to grant complete access to customer data and transform the service into a tool of mass surveillance.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>An example of this is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit#Suspension_and_gag_order" target="_blank">Lavabit</a> – a discontinued secure email service created by Ladar Levison. The FBI <a href="http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/lavabit-founder-ladar-levison-discusses-his-federal-battle-for-privacy" target="_blank">requested</a> Snowden’s records after finding out that he used the service. Since Lavabit did not keep logs and email content was stored encrypted, the FBI served a subpoena (with a gag order) for the service’s SSL keys. Having the SSL keys would allow them to access communications (both metadata and unencrypted content) in real time for all of Lavabit’s customers, not just Snowden's.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Ultimately, Levison turned over the SSL keys and <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/20/why-did-lavabit-shut-down-snowden-email" target="_blank">shut down</a> the service at the same time. The US government then <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/100962389" target="_blank">threatened Levison with arrest</a>, saying that shutting down the service was a violation of the court order.</p>

<h3>Key disclosure law - Who is required to hand over the encryption keys to authorities?</h3>
|
||
<p>Mandatory key disclosure laws require individuals to turn over encryption keys to law enforcement conducting a criminal investigation. How these laws are implemented (who may be legally compelled to assist) vary from nation to nation, but a warrant is generally required. Defenses against key disclosure laws include steganography and encrypting data in a way that provides plausible deniability.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Steganography involves hiding sensitive information (which may be encrypted) inside of ordinary data (for example, encrypting an image file and then hiding it in an audio file). With plausible deniability, data is encrypted in a way that prevents an adversary from being able to prove that the information they are after exists (for example, one password may decrypt benign data and another password, used on the same file, could decrypt sensitive data).</p>

<p>A warrant canary is a posted document stating that an organization has not received any secret subpoenas during a specific period of time. If this document fails to be updated during the specified time then the user is to assume that the service has received such a subpoena and should stop using the service.</p>

<p>When you visit a web page, your browser voluntarily sends information about its configuration, such as available fonts, browser type, and add-ons. If this combination of information is unique, it may be possible to identify and track you without using cookies. EFF created a Tool called <a href="https://panopticlick.eff.org/" target="_blank">Panopticlick</a> to test your browser to see how unique it is.</p>
|

<p><a href="https://panopticlick.eff.org/" target="_blank"><button type="button" class="btn btn-warning">Test your Browser now</button></a></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You need to find what <strong>most browsers</strong> are reporting, and then use those variables to bring your browser in the same population. This means having the same fonts, plugins, and extensions installed as the large installed base. You should have a <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/random-agent-spoofer/" target="_blank">spoofed user agent string</a> to match what the large userbase has. You need have the same settings enabled and disabled, such as DNT and WebGL. You need your browser to look as common as everyone else. Disabling JavaScript, using Linux, or even the TBB, will make your browser stick out from the masses.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Modern web browsers have not been architected to assure personal web privacy. Rather than worrying about being fingerprinted, it seems more practical to use <a href="#addons">free software plugins</a> like Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin and Disconnect. They not only respect your freedom, but your privacy also. You can get much further with these than trying to manipulate your browser's fingerprint.</p>

<h1>WebRTC IP Leak Test - Is your IP address leaking?</h1>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert">
|
||
<strong>WebRTC is a new communication protocol that relies on JavaScript that can leak your actual IP address from behind your VPN.</strong>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>While software like NoScript prevents this, it's probably a good idea to block this protocol directly as well, just to be safe.</p>
|
||
<p><a href="webrtc.html" target="_blank"><button type="button" class="btn btn-warning">Test your Browser now</button></a></p>
|
||
<h3>How to disable WebRTC in Firefox?</h3>
|
||
<p>In short: Set "media.peerconnection.enabled" to "false" in "about:config".</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Explained:</strong></p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Enter "about:config" in the firefox address bar and press enter.</li>
|
||
<li>Press the button "I'll be careful, I promise!"</li>
|
||
<li>Search for "media.peerconnection.enabled"</li>
|
||
<li>Double click the entry, the column "Value" should now be "false"</li>
|
||
<li>Done. Do the WebRTC leak test again.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>If you want to make sure every single WebRTC related setting is really disabled change these settings:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>media.peerconnection.turn.disable = true</li>
|
||
<li>media.peerconnection.use_document_iceservers = false</li>
|
||
<li>media.peerconnection.video.enabled = false</li>
|
||
<li>media.peerconnection.identity.timeout = 1</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>Now you can be 100% sure WebRTC is disabled.</p>

<h3>How to fix the WebRTC Leak in Google Chrome?</h3>
|
||
<p>There is no known working solution, only a plugin that is easily circumvented. Please use Firefox instead. </p>
|
||
<h3>What about other browsers?</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Chrome on iOS, Internet Explorer and Safari does not implement WebRTC yet. <a href="#browser">But we recommend using Firefox on all devices.</a>

<p><strong>uBlock Origin</strong> is an lightweight and efficient blocker: easy on memory and CPU footprint. The extension has no monetization strategy and development is volunteered. OS: Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chromium. AdBlock Plus is not recommended because they show "acceptable ads". The system behind that white list is lacking transparency.

It's important for a website like privacytools.io to be up-to-date. Keep an eye on software updates of the applications listed here. Follow recent news about providers that are recommended. We try our best to keep up but we're not perfect and the internet is changing fast.
