Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

Hey Austin66, What part of no reviews or commentary couldn't you read? Oops.

[QUOTE=Admin2;2039331][BLUE]I thought about this and decided to post it in blue, it's my professional opinion. If you're a techy guy and have better info, feel free to jump in.

We get these kind of things often so here goes; If you're using the forum correctly, anonymous email addy ect you should be fine.

If it's an issue, take your phone to a coffee shop and do it there. They aren't ever going to get our IP info. It's out of the country and no Cincy DA is going to serve an international warrant to bust a monger, that's just not going to happen.

Now the router at the coffee shop will save you're mac addy on it's routing table but that seems pretty extreme to me. I'm not 100% sure, but I would be very surprised if the routing table on a coffee shop router kept a log of what IP your packets were addressed to. I mean they would have the local 192.168 IP addy but that's meaningless, 100 people a day could use a local IP addy at a busy coffee shop.

Let me simplify this. The network card on your phone has a specific number called a MAC address, it's unique, it does identify a device. When you log into a network it associates your MAC addy with your local IP addy. However since it's local and using a 192.168 scheme, to then use NAT to get the message out, once you leave that address is then available again. The number of available address locally is 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.255.255 (sort of remember each octet only goes from 0 to 255) less the numbers reserved (probably blocks if the network guy knew his shit) for stationary devices locally (security cams, access points, ect) so they might only have 50-100 allotted for guests.

A little paranoia is good, but doing that through a VPN would have me real happy.

Of course the NSA can get it anytime they want but they don't care about hookers.

A2[/BLUE][/QUOTE]Gentlemen, the bottom line is that most local / county / state LE departments would have no idea what's being discussed with regard to a MAC address, etc., and it's highly likely they don't even care about trying to obtain such information. Think about it, it's really hard to request, demand, or otherwise investigate information that they don't even know exists, or what to do with it if they were to get it -- besides all that, obtaining a MAC address (which can be faked) does NOT, in fact, meet the burden of proof for proving anything. If a "pop quiz" were given right now, most local / county / state officers would fail, that is, would not be able to explain anything A2 said -- it's all Greek to them. YES, there are exceptions to every rule BUT, for the most part, at least in terms of right now today, they simply have no training or understanding of most tech issues. They are more concerned with obtaining "video" because it's something they understand and almost every establishment has it.

The Feds, however, are a completely different matter; they get it and they know it -- forwards, backwards, and sideways -- they are true tech gurus, for the most part. Fortunately, though, they are primarily concerned with "real" and serious crimes, not victimless local vice BS like pussy being for sale (where they really don't have any jurisdiction, unless it violates some federal law, and 99%+ of this hobby does not). I mean, after all, lest we forget anytime soon, it is a well-known fact that even Secret Service agents need and want to get laid periodically! Who doesn't, really! --SA007.

With everything being said about LEO and Remmy etc. Has anyone asked how she's doing? I can't imagine leaving my "Safe Haven" under such scary circumstance's without wanting to. I hope you're doing ok Remmylynn. If you need anything, Call me 513*264*6864.

Good luck with that when you reply to senior members who PM asking for info on some skanky ho you supposedly saw:

Dude, my contact list is the same one most everyone uses. It under, "Escort Classified Ads. Posted by Escorts. No Reviews or Commentary". Just look there.

If I did have direct unpublished numbers given to me by the provider, sharing them would violate the trust they put on me. Unpublished numbers are unpublished for a reason.

Jack was good enough to share utr numbers with me and I returned the favor. I think his reviews are good and info he has given me has always been spot on. Just 1 Sr to Another.

LOL I didn't know grown men used the term skanky ho anymore I thought only guys in high school still said that.

[QUOTE=SecretAgent007;2039970]besides all that, obtaining a MAC address (which can be faked)[/QUOTE]I did not know you could do that. So to my other post I amend, download the app to spoof your MAC address and you're bullet proof.

Hence the reason that many companies are now using MAC address based access control. It not only provides better security but also lets you zero in on those trying to do things they are not supposed to.

BTW, a really easy way to help cover your MAC address tracks is to use a burner wireless network card rather than the one built into the laptop, you can get cheap ones for $20 at MicroCenter and toss them or use them based on your needs.

Then, after they gain access to a particular network, the Hackers are able to SPOOF MAC addresses for all kinds of devices including laptops, cell phones, etc., which can result in doing some real damage. When MAC SPOOFING occurs, it pushes the responsibility for any illegal activity onto authentic network users. Consequently, the real offenders quite typically go undetected by LE, which really sucks because the system owner and authorized users are almost always the last to find out -- and they usually find out when the Feds come knocking at the door. --SA007.

Same goes for burner phones. HOWEVER, once again, there are prospective problems to consider and a few obstacles to overcome. . .

First, make sure you wear your Ball Cap with your Wig, Fake Glasses and Big Nose disguise, and then only pay in cash, because the in-store video and credit card data are retrieved all the time by LE. The problem with this approach is that you'll likely be taken to the local yocal's HQ and interrogated for attempted robbery for wearing such an alarming disguise into the store (except if you shop at Walmart. For more information, please Google "People of Walmart" to see some good disguise ideas), or maybe you'll be carted-off to the local nut ward for three days of observation for impersonating BOZO.

Second, as an alternative, you could send one of your so-called trusted friends into the store to buy it for you and, once again, they must use cash only, but, unfortunately, I believe this is a worse option than no. 1 above. When a person chooses to use this option no. 2, and after the proverbial shit hits the fan (and it usually always does), its how LE solves about 80% to 85% of its cases, that is, any time more than one person is involved in anything shaky it usually turns, sooner or later, into something akin to a Mongolian ClusterFuck because the so-called trusted friend inevitably rolls over and cuts a deal to save his / her own ass -- and then refers to you as a dumb fuck for coming up with the idea in the first place. So don't be a dumb fuck! In a really serious situation, never think your so-called trusted friend will remain a trusted friend when he's faced with a choice of either going away for awhile to the big house or giving you up in a heartbeat.

The third and best option, IMHO, is just old-fashioned planning ahead. Purchase all your needed merchandise about 8-12 months in advance of actually needing to use any of it and, as always, only pay for it in cash. By the time you start using your merchandise for whatever purpose you intend to use it, the in-store videos are typically long gone and, since you only used cash, there is no record of you EVER being there -- UNLESS, of course, you're so fucking horny and out-of-control that you actually cause a scene by humping the obese cashier's leg or pulling some other stupid, attention-getting stunt like PeeWee Herman did when he was caught choking his chicken in public.

So much to think (and worry) about, so little time. . . --SA007.
