<h1>How to remain Anonymous during a protest</h1>
|
|
<p>You just turned on your TV and saw that there is a <strong>protest</strong> near the white house
|
|
because the government decided that end to end encryption leads to terrorism and are passing a
|
|
law to ban it. You feel patriotic and know that it isn't right. <strong>You show up to the
|
|
protest without telling anyone</strong> for a few hours and you get back home proud that you
|
|
showed your support to the people. However, the police bangs your door and <strong>arrests you
|
|
for taking part in the protest</strong>.</p>

<h2><b>Phones are tracking devices for Law Enforcement</b></h2>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Government</strong>, <strong>Internet Service Providers</strong> (ISPs), <strong>Cellular
|
|
network providers</strong> can all <strong>find out where you are</strong> with the help of
|
|
your device emitting and receiving radio waves. These entities use various methods to track you
|
|
down at <strong>any given time</strong>. This is called <strong>Geofencing</strong>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
<h3><b>Tower Triangulation</b></h3>
|
|
<img src="tower-triangulation.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
|
|
<p>This is where multiple cellular towers are used to geometrically locate devices connecting or
|
|
pinging them by measuring the strength of the connection from each tower.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>more towers present around you = more accurate location</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Towers even at a distance of 5 miles from you can be used to triangulate your
|
|
location precisely.</strong></p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
<h3><b>Wifi Triangulation</b></h3>
|
|
<img src="wifi-triangulation.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
<p>Wifi routers often interact together especially when they're from the same ISP. When your
|
|
device recognizes a wifi network nearby (as seen in the wifi details option of your phone)
|
|
which also allows them to determine the <strong>signal strength</strong> of each router.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This can be used to geometrically determine your device's location based on how strong the
|
|
nearby signals are, <b>even when you're not connected to it.</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Two routers are enough to track you precisely upto a 6 feet error. You're surrounded
|
|
by tens of them.</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On Android and Apple devices, wifi can also be used to geofence you with GPS through Google
|
|
or Apple Network Location Provider (NLP) service. Making it even easier to geo-locate your
|
|
device.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
<h3><b>GPS/A-GPS</b></h3>
|
|
<p>Your phone constantly searches for satellites to connect to Global Positioning System (GPS)
|
|
signals.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Both Android and Google devices use Google-SUPL service for gps queries -
|
|
[supl.google.com:7275]. This <b>happens even if you do not connect your phone to a WiFi or
|
|
Cellular data</b>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Blocking this service greatly impacts cellular data connectivity and disables location
|
|
services on your device.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>(A-GPS stands for 'Assisted GPS'. It is when the SUPL GPS service works with the on-device
|
|
GPS module to be even efficient in location tracking.)</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<h3><b>TLDR; Unless if your phone is powered off in a faraday bag, wherever it goes, there exists a
|
|
permanent record of where phone has been and that record is known by Law Enforcement
|
|
entities.</b></h3>

<h2><b>Prevention - staying Anonymous.</b></h2> </br> </br>
|
|
<p><b>Reminder: Anonymity is when you are amongst a group of people, and you are indistinguishable
|
|
from the other members of the group.</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<hr>
|
|
|
|
<h3><b>Look the same</b></h3>
|
|
<p>To minimize the risk of being identified by police or surveillence devices like CCTV, protestors
|
|
including you should adopt a uniform. The best way to do this is implementing the following.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Wearing all black - (<u>long sleeve tshirts</u>, pants, socks, shoes, <u>gloves</u>,
|
|
<u>glasses</u>, and <u>masks</u>.)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>No jewellery - necklaces, watches, earrings, bracelets, etc.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Dress up such that you're always ready for a run.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Do not touch surfaces with your bare hands and leave potential fingerprints.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Do not carry any weapon that might get you in trouble in the court.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>

|
|

|
<h3><b>Internet and you</b></h3>
|
|
<p>To not be identified using the geofencing methods above, you should take some precautions before
|
|
and after you join the protest.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Leave your phone ACTIVATED at YOUR HOME.</b></li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Use sites like <a href="https://openwifimap.net"> Openwifimap</a> <i><u><strong>through
|
|
tor</strong></u></i> to pre-scan and find free WiFi around the protest to
|
|
use in a secondary phone.<br><br>[WARNING: Do this only if you read the end of the
|
|
article to know more about secondary phone].</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Use a Faraday bag at all times to store your secondary phone when you don't
|
|
<u><strong>need</strong></u> to use it.

<h2><b>How to have a phone for anonymous use?</b></h2> </br> </br>
|
|
|
|
<p>WARNING: Best preferred Android ROM is GrapheneOS. If you REALLY NEED a secondary phone and
|
|
it is compatible with LineageOS, you can proceed with it, but remember, you WILL NEED to
|
|
make changes to the LineageOS firewall (+ block supl.google.com:7275) for it to be even
|
|
close to Graphene in terms of security.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>WARNING/TIP: If you're proficient with linux and have experience using ubuntu touch, you can
|
|
proceed with the same steps of setting up and precautions after you have secured its
|
|
firewall.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><b>SETTING UP:</b></h3>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Get yourself a <a href="/opsec/graphene/index.html">grapheneOS</a> phone.
|
|
Only proceed if you get one. Otherwise, don't use a secondary phone at all.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Get a decently reviewed <u>Faraday bag</u> on amazon. However its recommended to buy
|
|
it physically with cash
|
|
or learn how to make Faraday bag <a
|
|
href="https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=sQ_V9LYfiUg">here</a>, <a
|
|
href="https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=jfSe-xyQQzg">here</a>, or <a
|
|
href="https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=PYHvMXAXGE4">here</a>.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
WARNING: Make sure to check whether your faraday bag works on not at your
|
|
home prior the protest by putting your or someone else's phone inside it with
|
|
cellular data and gps/location enabled and trying to call/track it.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Back up any important data and flash your phone with grapheneOS or LineageOS after a
|
|
factory reset and check if it booted in your new ROM. DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY WIFI OR
|
|
CELLULAR NETWORK. Now switch your phone off and immediately put it in a faraday bag,
|
|
making sure its completely sealed.
|
|
Its is good to disguise the faraday bag as a normal envelope or put in a bag to
|
|
avoid high-level suspicion.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<!-- <li>When you're about to leave for the protest, go far away from both - your home and
|
|
the protest site; and factory reset your Graphene/Lineage ROM phone again and
|
|
connect to nearby wifi from the WiFi list you got from openwifimap.</li> -->
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
Next steps (a) & (b) are for accessing internet anonymously ONLY AFTER you have completed
|
|
the above steps.

</h4>
|
|
|
|
<h4><b>a. Accessing internet anonymously - eSIM</b></h4>
|
|
|
|
<h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Dress up all black and go to a random place insignificant to you, get your phone out
|
|
of the faraday bag, and connect to a public wifi.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Download <a href="/opsec/MobileTor/index.html">tor browser</a> in your grapheneOS
|
|
phone.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Via the tor browser, with some monero, purchase an eSIM from https://silent.link,
|
|
and activate it on the secondary phone.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Make sure that while you're doing this, you're not under any security surveillence
|
|
(cameras, law encorcement buildings, etc).</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Once you validate that the eSIM works, disconnect from and forget the public WiFi
|
|
network, power the device off, and put it in the faraday back again right away.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</h4>
|
|
|
|
<hr>
|
|
|
|
<h5 style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">⚠️ Although eSIM method works well, you need to remember that
|
|
the moment you activate it, the systems <u>start tower-triangulation right away</u> and
|
|
doing it anywhere close to your
|
|
location of interest might be <u>potentially risky</u>. You also need to be careful NOT to
|
|
switch it on at your own home by any chance,
|
|
or you could hear the <u>bang on your door soon</u>. This is why its best to use open public
|
|
wifi.⚠️</h5>

<br>
|

<h2><b>Anonymous Communications</b></h2>

|
|
<h4>A trusted, decentralised communication platform for discussing things about the protest is the most important thing. Despite having all

|
the proxies and anonymization tools in your hand, if the Law Enforcement already knows about the people going to protest, they can arrest them prior the protest.
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
This is why you need a secure, decentralised, end-to-end encryption based messaging platform.
