ACT 0 - OPSec
The Conclusion
You should now have a much better understanding of OPSec and be somewhat comfortable with what has been discussed in this course. It's a good idea to read through this course fully before deciding on what to implement. Take the time time to brainstorm on what you require and what is needed for your operations. Reading over this course multiple times will help solidify some points and hopefully spark some ideas into your own mind as well.
Becoming a cybercriminal does not happen overnight. Make sure you practice these new found skills so you're comfortable with them before doing whatever it is you plan on doing. You crazy fuck.
Remember, as soon as you start getting complacent and relaxed that's when bad things happen. So, when you're operating in the wild thinking you're invisible just remember the picture below of everyone laughing you as you leak your real IP to the world.

You want to stay in the know if you're planning on operating at a high level. What I mean is just because you downloaded Tor, Whonix, or Tails last year doesn't mean it's secure so follow cyber related news on Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, or whatever social media you have available to you. Keep your applications, OS, passwords, systems, etc. updated and to current versions. You need to ensure everything keeps updated and pay attention to Dark Web news websites, Tor project, cyber security news, and especially arrests surrounding cybercrime as this is where you'll learn the newest methods used to catch cybercriminals and what's not safe anymore should something be compromised (Tor, Tails, PGP, etc.).
Now that you know how to remain anonymous online, we can begin to build on this foundation and move onto the next course offered at HackTown, ACT I - Wi-Fi Hacking.
The next course will teach you how to hack the Wi-Fi networks around you so you can use them for your own needs. This is another key piece when increasing your OPSec because moving forward your "work" laptop will use other Wi-Fi networks and not your own. We don't want to use our own Wi-Fi network since we know this is a bad idea now yes?!
Lastly, if you're looking at becoming an effective hacker it's best to research "Ethical hacker", "penetration tester", and "pen tester". These are search terms that will allow you to follow up on the "professional" careers in hacking. The point of doing that is to see how professional hackers test certain websites/organizations and begin to adopt their methodologies for your own goals in hacking. You can download the "Certified Ethical Hacking course" from any torrenting website and read at your leisure. It's highly recommended to do so to fully grasp the hacking knowledge used today and will help you greatly.
Hopefully you've learned something from this course and can add another key piece of information to your cybercriminal mind set before unleashing into the wild. Like any course or tutorial this is not perfect so if you see typos, spelling errors, or have any other useful information to add please contact me.
To hammer home the points:
Your "work" computer should never ever have anything personal on it.
Ideally should be using Tails or Whonix, for anything questionable.
If you're using Windows or macOS then:
Your host machine should have Anti-Virus or Windows Defender enabled.
Your host machine should always be kept up to date with current updates.
Your host machine should have full HD encryption.
Your host machine should have Glasswire, LuLu, RadioSilence, or Littlesnitch installed.
Your host machine should have booting from USB disabled in the BIOS settings.
Your host machine should have a VPN running on it.
Everything should be saved to the USB and never the HD.
A password manager should be used for storing your passwords.
VM should be saved onto on a USB/Micro SD and encrypted.
Spoof your MAC and Computer Name every time on start-up and shutdown.
Use CCleaner, Bleachbit, or similar programs on your host machine before each shutdown.
This concludes ACT 0 - OPSec.
Until next time my friends. Stay safe.
