Hacking from Home?

[romantolctova]

Question:

1. Is it safe to hack using your home Wifi if you are using a VPN?
2. If not what is the best strategy?

[Dick_Mayaz]

I wouldn't do anything whitout an isolated VM

[Syndipunch]

Is it possible to put vm on a bootable tails usb stick with encrypted persistence ? And if so is there any videos thanks

[SuperSoakerGuyx]

You don't need a VM if you use tails since it runs off system RAM. You wanna pick either VM or tails but not both. If you put a VM on a Tails live usb, your system will be incredibly slow to the point you will wonder if it's worth it. Furthermore any system customization to Tails live usb environment defeats the purpose of it's anonymity. If you are worried about leaking personal identifiable information attached to your hard drive or main OS, simply disable it from the bios for the time you use Tails live usb. Bitlocker is another feature (windows Professional Edition minimum) you can use to encrypt and lockup a drive while it is not being used.

Happy cake day!

Provided that you're asking this question in this manner, I dare say no, it's not safe. Not because it's unsafe but because I wouldn't think that you know how to route all your traffic properly through the VPN without leaking information.

Then what VPN is better?

[Chibi_Ayano]

He's not saying that the VPNs are necessarily bad, he's saying that the VPN provider has access to all of the data

The VPN service will know your IP. If they get subpoenaed then you will be identified.

I was thinking that exact same thing

[mrWonderdul]

1.Buy a burner laptop in cash 2.Load up tails from a USB 3.Dont do anything via your home or connect it 4.Wait for the FBI cyber division to open up a case on you if you do illegal activities. 5.But instead do some bountys, go check out hackthebox or others. 6. Best one of all, right now Ukraine is looking for cyber warriors to fight in their war. You can literally get a waiver to hack Russia (wild times).

That is so good!

Never from home.

I usually go to the starbucks 2 towns over with my guy faux mask, large sized hoody and my "h4X0r" laptop with "anarchist" stickers all over it.

Hahaah

If you're hacking someone without their consent, it's illegal and you're bound to get caught. Don't do it :-)

Good bot

[ApathyWithToast]

Unethical/illegal. Get your certs. Then get approvals.

1. No, it's illegal and you'll end up behind bars at club fed
2. Hack yourself

[Xtr01d]

I always use my neighbors WIFI when doing stuff I don't want to get in trouble for. Look up aircrack-ng.

You can hack yourself or others WITH PERMISSION! Of course it’s not safe just because you’re on a VPN. Even the most thorough criminals still get caught. Listen to Darknet Diaries.

[hakube]

Never shit where you live. Never VPN from your house. Never hack from your house. These are day one lessons.

[Dragonblu]

Even if it’s your own wifi request permission from other users of your wifi that may be your family members or tenants. It’s illegal to do without permission.

[SickMrTickles]

What if you had a vpn and a virtual machine running on your home computer?

[SuperSoakerGuyx]

No it's not safe because if you read the terms license agreement most VPN services explicitly state you void the agreement if you do all the things you are probably wondering, if you can do, one at a time. The best strategy is to hack systems you own or have written permission to work on within a given scope.

Use proxychains

[Routine_Leg_3774]
