Hello and welcome.

My name is Zaid.

I'm an ethical hacker a computer scientist and I'll be your instructor in this course.

Now before diving into the course content let's talk about the main topics that we're going to cover

in this course.

So we're going to talk about privacy anonymity the dark web and security.

I chose to cover all of these topics in one course because I think they are very related and sometimes

on the Internet it's very difficult to achieve one of them without the others.

So starting with the first one privacy means that no one knows what you do.

For example when you go and enter your house people can see that you entered your house but they don't

know what you do inside the house.

Therefore your private anonymity on the other hand means that people can see what you're doing but they

don't know who you are.

For example let's say while you're inside your house you put a mask on and then you leave the house

and start washing your car.

Now people can see that there is somebody washing the car so they can see what you're doing.

They can see the activity but they don't know who is that person washing the car because you have a

mask therefore you're hiding your identity.

So when your private people know who you are but they don't see what you do when you're anonymous.

People see what you do but don't know who is that person doing that activity.

So they don't know your identity.

Now on the Internet usually we just want to be private so we don't want other parties to be able to

see the messages or the e-mails or whatever we do on the Internet.

Unfortunately though it is very difficult to be private on the Internet because in order to use the

Internet you have to use resources that are not owned by you.

So you have to use an internet service provider.

And when your access in Web sites or use using services you're using servers owned by these services

or by third parties therefore you can't really control how your data is being handled.

For example let's say you try to go to Google dot com.

This request will first of all pass through a number of stops or a number of routers.

It will go to your Internet service provider again.

It'll pass through a number of routers and a number of stops and eventually reaches Google's servers

which again are not controlled by you.

And then you get your response through a similar out.

Therefore both your request and the response will pass through a number of stops that you don't own

or don't control.

So anybody operating or working on these taps will be able to see your traffic.

You will be able to see your activity.

Not only that but hackers and government agencies and other entities can possibly intercept these requests

and responses at any point and therefore see what you're doing.

Therefore your privacy is gone so we use encryption whenever possible in order to improve our privacy.

But like I said there will be some points and some situations where it is just not possible to be private.

Therefore the best solution is to try to become as anonymous as possible.

So if anybody manages to intercept our data they won't be able to link it to ourselves or to our identity.

Now there are some situations where people actually want to be just anonymous.

For example journalists usually prefer to publish sensitive posts anonymously so that everybody can

see the post.

So it's not hidden.

It's not private.

But at the same time it can't be linked to their real identity.

This way the posts will be linked to some kind of identity.

So it will be linked to a fake name or simply just numbers or a ghost profile.

But it is linked to some kind of identity.

Therefore this is known as pseudo anonymity.

Now in order to achieve the above two things to become more private and more anonymous we're going to

need two things.

First we're going to need an anonymous raising service that'll allow us to become more anonymous and

to we're going to need to change our habits when it comes to using online services and use different

services that are more private and more anonymous because the search engines that you're used to for

example Google and being the e-mails that you're used to Gmail and the others and all of the other services

that you're used to use are simply not private and not anonymous.

They profile you.

They collect data about you.

And sometimes even sell it to third parties unfortunately.

On the clear net there aren't a lot of useful online services that are private and anonymous.

Luckily though the anonymous raising services that we're going to use from point one in order to become

more anonymous also contain a number of services and Web sites that only exist within this anonymous

rising service or network.

Therefore these are referred to as DarkNet or dark web web sites or services.

So I'm going to show you how to properly access the darknet and then use these services to carry out

our day to day tasks in a more anonymous and more private manner.

Last but not least I also wanted to cover security in this course because you cannot be private and

anonymous if you're not secure even if you're using the best privacy methods.

The best anonymity methods the best VPN ends at multiple proxies and so on.

If somebody manages to hack into your computer then first of all they'll be able to see all of your

files and see your activity.

So you're not private and will also be able to bypass whatever methods you used to become anonymous

and these anonymize you.

That's why like I said you can't really be private and anonymous without being secure and by being private

and anonymous you're going to have to use some darknet services.

Therefore I'll have to teach you how to access the darknet and use it.

So the four topics really click with each other.

And when you learn these topics you'll be able to use them and apply them in different situations.

You might be at a scenario that I can't think of that requires you to be a little bit private or anonymous.

So you'll be able to learn whatever techniques I teach you in here in terms of anonymity or privacy

and apply them to whatever situation that you're in.
