Guess I'm living under a rock

I used to be very good in doxxing when i was younger and this is one tip i want to share as well.

Most of my breakthroughs comes from an email address. Email will usually lead me to an online profile, where a little digging can get me your real name which can lead me to your address/phone numbers/SSN and more. Use multiple email address for every purpose and mix them up. Tough work but it is worth it in the long run. I got one email account for Playstation services, one for work, one for Facebook, one for webspams, one for family/friends etc etc.

I'm all for taking steps to separate identity, but it's getting ridiculous. There need to be some shining beacons of light for people to see, and follow their example. I'm coming to the point where I don't give a fuck about RP association in real life... just work/go places where people don't give a fuck about stupid internet shit. If somebody harms me, that's what the police are for. If they explode my inbox, who fucking cares? Collectors are already doing that anyway. Yea I used to make a quarter mill a year, now I make a little less... fucks given: way fewer. sleep: way easer. And I live at the heart of Antifa weenie 'territory' and work with Cal students. Fuck cowardice... fuck stupidity obviously, but it's a fucking website and this conspiracy stuff must be self perpetuated to a degree.

In my book, if i say nothing illegal then maybe I want a degree of separation via handle that I'll never admit is real no matter how much people assume... then not say things that would be illegal.

I've been PMed by two different young hot girls in the past month who wanted to exchange picks with me. One even sent me pics with the instructions I required so I knew it wasnt a troll usin somebody else's pics.

They were very insistent and convincing.. Once they realized I wouldn't divulge any info or pics they stopped trying. Obvious attempts at doxxing. Be careful

Right now there's probably a Latino Software Engineer in Seattle reading this and praying he doesn't get raped

Now that I think about this, it might be time to close this account and create a new one. That's scary that CNN freaking did it to that guy. Just proves that CNN sucks. I loved that video.

This ties back into a lot of the push-back I saw in the community in regards to the "TRP App". A lot of people don't seem to understand how easily anonymity can be compromised on the web, or further don't understand the havoc that can be wreaked once they lose their anonymity. When it comes to TRP, your life can and will be ruined by zealous feminists and most liberals.

This CNN situation is a great example of why you always need to use a separate account strictly for TRP and is not used in any other sub, especially ones that can compromise your identity. And this second account needs to be tied to an email address that in no way can compromise your identity. Make no mistake, reddit has a cesspool of SJWs and hardcore feminists who have nothing better to do than ruin your life simply because they disagree with your views.

He should have used a throw away account. And you are right about this sub being controversial, society in general hates it when the cold hard truths are revealed.

Never hurts to have a throwaway!

One thing that wasn't mentioned: it is very likely CNN was aided by Reddit admins. Reddit hates this sub and hates the_donald more due to its sheer size and influence. Anything that happens to this sub WILL happen here whenever that sub is 'contained'

Almost all of my feed is CNN related. All negative. Don't apologize to the bully and you'll be better off. People are starting to let go of the PC garbage.

With regards to the VPN, how important is it?

Do reddit moderators of a subreddit have the power to see user IP's?

I would assume no, but I have seen forums in the past which showed all users IP addresses. It is obviously stored somewhere in the reddit server, but how easy is this to access?

do what most slebs do, work through a trusted agent

CNN are unbelievable idiots and the only thing worse than the dishonest, misleading bullshit they get up to is the denying and playing innocent over the dishonest, misleading bullshit they get up to.

They are the very definition of a news network that seeks to "influence rather than inform" and they're going down the drain fast, or at least they would be, if Google weren't throwing them a life-line with a juicy YouTube embedded channel.

As for Doxxing, I don't know, is this place really all that controversial? It's no worse than 4Chan that's for damn sure, and there's only so many people that are going to have the requisite skill and 'trigger-level' to waste their time with this.

Use two accounts when on Reddit, sure, because it's better to keep it 'clean' and not have others accuse you of peddling Propaganda (oh, the irony) but as for VPN's and that...hmmmm, not sure that's really necessary unless you're going out of your way to be prominent/outrageous.

Can someone explain how they figured our who the guy was? Something about looking at FB but what exactly was it.

I really can't believe CNN is stooping this low. Wish this guy would have stuck to his guns and made CNN look bad cause it sounds like he can probably be doxxed pretty easy anyway so he really didn't buy that much security with the apology.

Also, motion to require everyone to use archive when linking to CNN

Its important not to panic - if you do something stupid like post key biographical details about yourself, then you deserve to get slammed like what happened to the guy in the original post.

I mean c'mon - they were able to attach his reddit name to his facebook profile - there must have been some glaring giveaways. Good luck trying to do that with me

Use temporary mail for sites like this!

My stupid phone went and memorized my username, too. If you type "ba" it "helpfully" tries to autocorrect to bastardstepchild. The only way to make it stop is to periodically reset the entire keyboard dictionary.

What about going a step further and making a fake identity on reddit. So if you're a Latino software dev in Seattle, join some subreddits about Boston and running a restaurant and being black.

Honestly it couldn't have happened to a worse kind of person so I don't give a fuck in this instance. It's wrong for CNN to come at someone like that, but I couldn't care less for racists.

Edit: here's this dude's posts

Be aware that reddit have your IP address and quite likely info from your google cookies,etc. If you're high profile enough, reddit can/will leak this info.

Do not click ANY links sent to you in private or in a deep thread where very few other people are viewing: their servers will show your IP address and farm your cookies for private info.

Do not read TRP from work if you are high profile - again your IP will trace right to your employer.

Limit personal info to rough age (20's, 30's), gender (male or gtfo), country. Definitely not down to city, don't give away your profession, talk in general terms about all personal info.

Don't use the same or similar username for anything else, don't comment on other subs.

Obviously don't share any contact details (email, skype, etc) with anyone.
