How to keep yourself safe from hackers.

Hey guys here's a little thing I have gathered over my adventures.

Resolvers:
There's many things you can do to prevent people from Resolve your IP I'll give you a couple of ways to prevent it.

Option 1: Be logged into a VPN 24/7, may cause lag dependent on computer and VPN.
Good Free VPNs
http://www.hotspotshield.com
http://getprivate.software.informer.com

Option 2:
Step 1: Log onto Skype
Step 2: Hover over "Tools"
Step 3: Click "Options"
Step 4: Click "Advanced"
Step 5: Click "Connection"
Step 6: Check "Allow direct connections through contacts only"

What this does that people can't resolve you UNLESS they're added as your contact.

Option 3:
You will need TOR Browsor, no the FBI doesn't track you on it.
(https://www.torproject.org/)
Step 1: Quit Skype
Step 2: Open Notepad and Copy this VBS Script.

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ss= objShell.RegRead ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Skype\Phone\SkypePath ")
ss= """" + ss + """"
'Add Block rule
objShell.run "netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=""SkypeBlockTCP"" dir=out action=block program=" + ss + " enable=yes protocol=any profile=any"
'Add Allow rule
objShell.run "netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=""SkypeAllowToProxy"" dir=out action=allow program=" + ss + " enable=yes remoteip=127.0.0.1"
'Turn On firewall
objShell.run "Netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on"
msgbox "Skype Is Patched Successfully."

If you get an error message use this one instead.

If WScript.Arguments.length =0 Then
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
'Pass a bogus argument with leading blank space, say [ uac]
objShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", Chr(34) & _
WScript.ScriptFullName & Chr(34) & " uac", "", "runas", 1
Else
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ss= objShell.RegRead ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Skype\Phone\SkypePath ")
ss= """" + ss + """"
'Add Block rule
objShell.run "netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=""SkypeBlockTCP"" dir=out action=block program=" + ss + " enable=yes protocol=any profile=any"
'Add Allow rule
objShell.run "netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=""SkypeAllowToProxy"" dir=out action=allow program=" + ss + " enable=yes remoteip=127.0.0.1"
'Turn On firewall
objShell.run "Netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on"
msgbox "Skype Is Tored"
End If

Step 4: Save this as dafaq.vbs
Step 5: Hold the Windows key and type r. Use the browse button to find your file, select it, and click run.
Step 6: Disconnect from Internet
Step 7: Reset IP, either by contacting your internet provider your unplug modem and router for a certain period of time.
Step 8: Before logging in hover to "Tools"
Step 9: Click "Connection Options"
Step 10: Enter these in EXACTLY http://puu.sh/fb8mf/4ef052ea2f.png

Use a resolver and bam your IP is different.

DDoS:
Step 1: Download Tor link is above.
Step 2: Download Proxifier
http://www.proxifier.com/distr/ProxifierSetup.exe
Step 3: Configure Proxifier
Add a Proxy Server using these settings
Address: localhost (or 127.0.0.1)
Protocol: SOCKS Version 5
Test is using "Check"
Step 4: Now you'll want to make some new rules to redirect connections through Tor
For this to work, you need a rule that redirects hosts localhost; 127.0.0.1; %ComputerName% to Direct
Then you can redirect any (or specific programs) through Tor just by adding a rule for it, and setting the Action to the Proxy SOCKS5 that you made a minute ago.

What will happen when someone tries to ddos you instead of hitting your IP it will go towards one of Tor's servers. Making you UnDdosable and UnRessolveable.

While being DDoSed:
Option 1: Walk to your router/modem and unplug it for a period of time
Option 2: Call your Internet Provider and change your IP
Option 3:
Step 1: Log into your router
Step 2: Find your Mac address
Step 3: Change one of the numbers to another number
Step 4: Reset Modem.

Tips for preventing Keyloggers and other crazy things:
Use "Sandboxie" while browsoring. Website explains it all.
http://www.sandboxie.com
Use common sense (Not a program)
Do DAILY Full Computer Virus Checks
Get Spy Bot - Search and Destroy if already have it run it daily.
Don't click links through Skype unless using Sandboxie.

Tips for Passwords:
Passwords like basketball, qwerty1234, password, are SUPER easy to Bruteforce. It literally takes minutes. Passwords that are just a jumble of Letters/Numbers are also very easy to BruteForce into Ex: AJ951KGA95ASG5KGN. If you want a good password look around your room see that chair, pillow, and water. In proper English the password would be "Chairpillowwater" but to make it hard for people to hack into do this "CcH4I1RrrP1ll1L0WwW4aAt3eEER" it makes the password longer and ALOT hard to hack into.

Don't use the SAME password for ANYTHING!
If you can't keep track of your passwords write them somewhere Ex: Back of door, wall, calender, anywhere. What I do is that I have a spare phone that I never use I take pictures of the passwords on that phone and keep it in a lock safe in my room with my weed and shit. Change your passwords over 1-2 months. Even just switching up the words so instead of "Chairpillowwater" have "waterchairpillow".

Emails: If you have a main email have that's linked to all of your accounts do what you did above but extremely longer. My email password is around 40-60 characters long. Because I can't remember this and would take my like 8 years to type. I have it saved on my Computer which is extremely risky. But it's saved as something completely different then what it is Ex: Fav Music, Awesome Videos, Minecraft Friends, Cool Games. Something so lame that anyone that hacks/gets access of your computer wont even look at it. I also have all my Emails linked to my Cellphone. Saying if I try to log into my main/fake emails it sends a text to my cellphone with a verification code (After I have entered in my password) I then enter that in and I have access. If it's not me I know someone knows my password allowing me to change it immediately. Have 3-4 fake emails you use for shit you don't care about, or not as important things. Things emails would all be linked to the main so if someone gets in one you could reset using the backup emails.

Use this website to check security on passwords: https://howsecureismypassword.net

Just a precaution because you never know when there's a keylogger on your computer unless using a program to find it. Only enter passwords using CTRL+V being that Keyloggers don't pick up the password if it's been pasted.

Hope you enjoyed, sorry for spelling mistakes 3am for me.

well, firstly, for the script, plz use code tags.. would neaten everything up. Second, free VPNs are quite crap. Suggestion would be to get a good VPN instead of a shitty one which would probably keep logs and stuff. Also, how high do you need to be to keep a second phone with all passwords in a safe? Are you hiding top secret military files somewhere from the FBI or GCHQ?

For the DDOS, who would friggen bother actually getting a botnet to ddos a singular person who plays minecraft. Its not like youre trying to achieve a buffer overflow trick with a crappy coded server now are you?
If you do not have a static IP address set, simply turning the router / modem (whichever country you are in), the ISP will simply reassign a different IP address.
I see no reason why MAC address should be changed. Changing MAC addresses either change your MAC address, download lots of unwanted programs or bricks your device. Unless you are hopping to inject payload into TCP or UDP or whichever packet you are spamming of the desired MAC address, in the packet, the MAC address constantly changes. Firstly, your PCs MAC, then the routers, then the ISPs, then some relay station or something and before you know it, the header of the packet has changed atleast 4 times.

Email password 40 - 60 chars long?

Lets say Google Gmail uses AES-512 or SHA-512 encryption for passwords, that would be 10^64 years to actually brute force the password. Unless you are lucky and get a collision.
I am not saying that having a password such as cakeisalie is good, all i am saying is that if you have a decent enough password (not 40-60 chars) is good enough since all that would lead to is trouble when you are either typing that in or loosing the file which it was saved on.

A* for effort, B for content. (Comp Sci + EEE with Security Uni for 4 years.)

Thanks for tutorial
