00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.799
so loads of people enjoy their alone time but you don't necessarily want

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:11.679
people knowing about what you watch while wasting kleenex polishing your

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:14.719
trophy so what can you do if you're streaming online you can always use

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:19.199
private browsing but there's ways to attract your activities in spite of that

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.119
and if your preferred medium is locally stored on your computer there are many

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:27.119
dangers there as well so in this video we'll show you ways to keep your sausage

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:30.960
flicking material private whether you stream your content or watch it locally

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:36.079
give the video a like if you want to see us test how modern hardware plays old

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:45.520
hardcore games like crisis one and witcher one

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.200
so i'm sure a horde of chicken chokers are going to comment about how they will

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:55.440
run their browser in private mode whenever they want to watch content

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:59.520
while peeling their bananas and they're right to a certain degree in today's day

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:04.080
and age streaming your content or holding physical pictures documents or

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:07.280
even video in say a cloud storage account is often the best way to go if

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.159
you're trying to hide it from friends and family because it largely keeps the

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:16.640
data off your computer but it isn't perfect there are a number of ways to

00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:20.479
track this however like key loggers stealthy background applications that

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:24.799
can record your typing and transmit it externally to someone else and packet

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:28.400
sniffers like wireshark that analyze your network traffic now to be fair

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:32.000
these things could only really be in place if someone with a fair amount of

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.680
technical prowess had access to your computer or your network but it's

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.600
something to consider nonetheless comparing a packet sniffer is rather

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:43.439
simple you can just run a vpn encrypting your traffic but if someone has direct

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.000
access to your computer for almost any period of time they can easily install

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:52.560
something like a key logger or in the event that your carelessness left your

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.360
incognito browser window open simply look at your screen and see what you'd

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:59.439
been up to so how do you avoid all that without

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:03.439
being obvious and paranoid about people touching your computer here's a cool

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:08.479
idea use a separate device for that a laptop tablet phone or even desktop can

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:12.480
all be used and if you follow our three tenets when it comes to said device you

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:17.280
shouldn't have any problems it should be one fast to access two anonymous by

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:22.319
logging in with throwaway accounts and using a vpn and three private through

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:26.480
physically hiding it by the way we don't really recommend under the mattress it's

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:31.920
kind of obvious it's from these principles that we derive our names for

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:33.280
these devices fap tops phablets fapones

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:37.599
and fappooters now onto local storage protection stage

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:42.239
one of this is to just hide it put it somewhere people don't commonly go like

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.519
system folders or app data another simple way to do this is to just

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.360
technically hide it go into folder properties and click the hidden check

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:53.200
box but as many of you know this is still very easy to find so another minor

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:57.360
step that you can make is to make it invisible by going into properties

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:02.879
making its folder icon blank then renaming it to blank by holding alt and

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.360
then typing zero one six zero what this

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:09.920
does it is it removes the name and the icon for the folder or file the problem

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.720
with that is that it leaves a blank spot which may actually stand out more than a

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:18.159
clever name and realistically people can still find these pretty easily if

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:22.800
they're looking for them you can go through the process of changing the extensions and names for all your files

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.680
through a batch process but that's frustrating doesn't completely protect

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:32.239
them anyways and it's time consuming which is a violation of our fast to

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:37.280
access tenant but there's more that can be done beyond simple smoke and mirrors

00:03:34.640 --> 00:03:41.599
misdirection first up is encryption which is a way of using a tool to

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:46.319
require password access to the files or folders that you mark for protection

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:49.599
compression tools like 7-zip can encrypt archives or if you want something with

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:54.799
more options than that you can use truecrypt 7.1 a yes the truecrypt

00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:59.040
project was more or less abandoned but research into the code continues from

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.040
the gibson research corporation who insists that truecrypt is actually still

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:07.280
safe to use and through two phases of an audit still have not found any

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:11.120
significant cryptographic problems next is the method of using a virtual machine

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:15.120
a completely separate operating system running from within a host operating

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:19.280
system this is still susceptible to certain key loggers and packet sniffers

00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:22.720
but as long as you have a habit of shutting down your virtual machine when

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.160
you walk away to the bathroom it can't hurt

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.759
one issue with both encryption and virtual machines is that if the

00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:34.240
individual searching for your files is familiar with tools like spaceniffer and

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.880
winderstat they can easily see the large single files associated with virtual

00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:43.360
drives and encrypted folders so next is a form of physical security this would

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:46.960
keep your data on a storage device that isn't always attached to your computer

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:50.479
either a flash drive that you can easily hide these are available in astonishing

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:54.880
capacities these days and can be encrypted as well or an internal storage

00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:59.919
device like a hard drive that sits inside your computer and is just usually

00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:04.160
unplugged the hard drive solution can be quite easy to do if you mix it with the

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:07.440
hot swap feature which is probably found on your motherboard which allows you to

00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:11.680
hot swap SATA devices while your computer is running this would result in

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:16.720
the awesome situation of having the data be impossible to find unless someone

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:21.120
plugs in an internal drive which is pretty sneaky so whatever your preferred

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:25.680
method of content consumption while whacking your meat there's some way to

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:29.919
help hide it if you feel you need to and of course most of these methods can be

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.759
used for any type of file so whatever you're into i'm sure there's some way to

00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:36.560
accommodate that thanks for watching guys if this video
