so loads of people enjoy their alone time but you don't necessarily want
people knowing about what you watch while wasting kleenex polishing your
trophy so what can you do if you're streaming online you can always use
private browsing but there's ways to attract your activities in spite of that
and if your preferred medium is locally stored on your computer there are many
dangers there as well so in this video we'll show you ways to keep your sausage
flicking material private whether you stream your content or watch it locally
give the video a like if you want to see us test how modern hardware plays old
hardcore games like crisis one and witcher one
so i'm sure a horde of chicken chokers are going to comment about how they will
run their browser in private mode whenever they want to watch content
while peeling their bananas and they're right to a certain degree in today's day
and age streaming your content or holding physical pictures documents or
even video in say a cloud storage account is often the best way to go if
you're trying to hide it from friends and family because it largely keeps the
data off your computer but it isn't perfect there are a number of ways to
track this however like key loggers stealthy background applications that
can record your typing and transmit it externally to someone else and packet
sniffers like wireshark that analyze your network traffic now to be fair
these things could only really be in place if someone with a fair amount of
technical prowess had access to your computer or your network but it's
something to consider nonetheless comparing a packet sniffer is rather
simple you can just run a vpn encrypting your traffic but if someone has direct
access to your computer for almost any period of time they can easily install
something like a key logger or in the event that your carelessness left your
incognito browser window open simply look at your screen and see what you'd
been up to so how do you avoid all that without
being obvious and paranoid about people touching your computer here's a cool
idea use a separate device for that a laptop tablet phone or even desktop can
all be used and if you follow our three tenets when it comes to said device you
shouldn't have any problems it should be one fast to access two anonymous by
logging in with throwaway accounts and using a vpn and three private through
physically hiding it by the way we don't really recommend under the mattress it's
kind of obvious it's from these principles that we derive our names for
these devices fap tops phablets fapones
and fappooters now onto local storage protection stage
one of this is to just hide it put it somewhere people don't commonly go like
system folders or app data another simple way to do this is to just
technically hide it go into folder properties and click the hidden check
box but as many of you know this is still very easy to find so another minor
step that you can make is to make it invisible by going into properties
making its folder icon blank then renaming it to blank by holding alt and
then typing zero one six zero what this
does it is it removes the name and the icon for the folder or file the problem
with that is that it leaves a blank spot which may actually stand out more than a
clever name and realistically people can still find these pretty easily if
they're looking for them you can go through the process of changing the extensions and names for all your files
through a batch process but that's frustrating doesn't completely protect
them anyways and it's time consuming which is a violation of our fast to
access tenant but there's more that can be done beyond simple smoke and mirrors
misdirection first up is encryption which is a way of using a tool to
require password access to the files or folders that you mark for protection
compression tools like 7-zip can encrypt archives or if you want something with
more options than that you can use truecrypt 7.1 a yes the truecrypt
project was more or less abandoned but research into the code continues from
the gibson research corporation who insists that truecrypt is actually still
safe to use and through two phases of an audit still have not found any
significant cryptographic problems next is the method of using a virtual machine
a completely separate operating system running from within a host operating
system this is still susceptible to certain key loggers and packet sniffers
but as long as you have a habit of shutting down your virtual machine when
you walk away to the bathroom it can't hurt
one issue with both encryption and virtual machines is that if the
individual searching for your files is familiar with tools like spaceniffer and
winderstat they can easily see the large single files associated with virtual
drives and encrypted folders so next is a form of physical security this would
keep your data on a storage device that isn't always attached to your computer
either a flash drive that you can easily hide these are available in astonishing
capacities these days and can be encrypted as well or an internal storage
device like a hard drive that sits inside your computer and is just usually
unplugged the hard drive solution can be quite easy to do if you mix it with the
hot swap feature which is probably found on your motherboard which allows you to
hot swap SATA devices while your computer is running this would result in
the awesome situation of having the data be impossible to find unless someone
plugs in an internal drive which is pretty sneaky so whatever your preferred
method of content consumption while whacking your meat there's some way to
help hide it if you feel you need to and of course most of these methods can be
used for any type of file so whatever you're into i'm sure there's some way to
accommodate that thanks for watching guys if this video
