There's several way to protect your anonymity while hobbying. 1- Protection from SO / family / friends: - Simple and enough in 99% of the case, unless your gf is a sysadmin a- Internet: Use Chrome or Firefox on "private browsing" to visit the web. Do not save files, pictures & password or bookmark. Once you close your browser, there will be absolutely no trace on your computer about what you surfed. Nothing will be saved on YOUR hard drive. The site you visited will still have a trace of your visit through IP. This is safe enough for your SO / family / friend. None will serve your ISP to track your web history. b- Handle & password: create a new identity, don't be lazy! And the password should be unique...Do not use your hotmail password, it is estimated than over 20% of Microsoft logins services are "public" #justsaying. c- Twitter: turn off geo location… d- Phone: Pre-paid cell and public phone are your friends! e- Email: Set up a Tormail account or a low volume email provider. There's tons of them f- Skype is a big NO NO! It's now owned by Microsoft and the privacy is gone in a big way. 2- Protection for paranoid people VPN + Tor. If you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it. Now about LE intercepting communication. This is a long video, but worth it, lot of infos, statistics. Mostly about ISP, but also about Sprint, AT&T... The best 50mn you'll spend to learn about security.
