    4:50 something worth mentioning is that installing your own vpn server on some random vps could be a security risk depending on your threat model. Federal agencies can detect your ip address is the only one connecting to that server and thus deduce the outgoing traffic from that server is effectively yours. Also, wireguard should be prefered over openvpn if you actually need to setup a vpn server for some reason.

      Great point. Especially if you had parents, family, employers who posted photos and info about you online. There are digital privacy laws where you can request for your information to be taken down. But this is dependent on where live and even then there will still be an online footprint you left. Best possible option is to never make the online trail in the first place. That's not easy nowadays.

      Waay late to the party but here's an explanation:
      Any internet service provider, vpn company or other internet service owner based in the 14 eyes (basically NA, West EU, Australia) is legally required to comply with proper orders from law enforcement.
      In such cases they WILL demand all logs and any relevant information pertaining to their investigation.
      And the laws do allow businesses to lie about keeping no logs if it's for the sake of complying with said laws.
      Conversely, countries outside of the 14 eyes may have more lax laws around that stuff (think Sweden and the MulvadVPN cases).
      In short: if you're hoping that your vpn will allow you to escape those pesky glowies, ensure that the vpn is either a decentralized service (Tor/IP2P) or based outside the 14eyew

    Ross didn't build silk road to sell drugs. He built the marketplace which was genius. It's the users who started buying and selling drugs etc. Which they should be dealt with by their local community but since the feds couldn't or wouldn't go after users for crimes, they just arrested Ross.
    Allegedly and my opinion from what I remember but it's been awhile.

      @collinsinfosec  2 роки тому +7

      Good question and concern. I agree in some cases. I will use a quote from TheGuardian which helped assist me with the conclusion to this answer.
      "Why did Ulbricht need nine fake IDs? An earlier posting on the Silk Road forums may explain it. Dread Pirate Roberts explained that he “needed a fake ID [to] rent servers”. Tarbell adds that “server hosting companies often require customers to provide some form of identity documents in order to validate who they are”.
      Which is fine, except that if you are posting a photocopy of a fake ID to a server hosting company, you don’t need to put your real face on it. And if you’re running an international multimillion dollar drugs marketplace, keeping your real face away from the public is probably a good idea."
      Article Here: www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/03/five-stupid-things-dread-pirate-roberts-did-to-get-arrested
      If it really did come down to having to use a real photograph, it could have been more use to limit his exposure. Nine fake IDs with the same picture, different names implies someone is hiding their real identity. He could have limited his evidence.

    • @collinsinfosec
      @collinsinfosec  2 роки тому +42

      Good point. However, it did. He used nine fake IDs, all with different names, etc. He used these IDs to sign up for server rentals across the world. He didn't have to use a real picture of himself to gain access to these servers, he could have provided any type of ID. If it really did come down to having to use a real photograph, it could have been more use to limit his exposure. Nine fake IDs with the same picture, different names implies someone is hiding their real identity. He could have limited his evidence. It ended up catching up to him in the end.
