After recent shenanigans... I feel it's appropriate to write about some precautions you should take while on the forum.
Thanks for reading!
- Water asf, but use a VPN. You may click a link accidently, or fall victim to a wireshark/nmap attempt (or some equivilent, I doubt anyone will find anything will just port scanning jfl). I reccomend Mullvad (I use dis), Proton or Surfshark. VPNs aren't entirely foolproof, sites detect them using VPN blacklists, shitty DHCP, tracking nodes, etc. It's just good to have.
- NEVER click on any links straight away, always copy and paste elsewhere to see the actual true link. You can fake a link to take someone else where. For example, this link will take you to YouTube, all while saying that it's @Randomized Shame profile: https://forum.looksmaxxing.com/members/randomized-shame.27841/
- NEVER click any photos, the exact same thing can happen. Right click the photo first, to ensure that there are no hidden links. This photo will also take you to YouTube:
- REMOVE YOUR METADATA FROM YOUR PHOTOS (@hannah). Use an application like ExifCleaner (for PC), or Metapho (for IOS). This is something that many new users don't know about. Everything can and will be used against you.
- Whenever you send face pictures (not advised to do so in the first place), add some subtle marks in the corner (make it different for each receiver). This'll allow you to know who doxxed you.
- Use a fingerprint-augmenting browser, like Clonbrowser (I use dis). If people get your fingerprint, they can track you across sites, you de-anonymize yourself and put yourself in potential danger. Stay vigilant.
- Use a specific browser for your forum activity. Something that you can clear all data from quickly (Firefox, etc). Make sure to regularly clear cookies and cache, also consider disabling Javascript (the site mightn't work, actually I doubt it would work at all).
Always have blackmail on other people (especially potential doxxers). Make yourself scary, don't go with their demands. I doubt anyone here has the resources (or knowledge) to ddos you, so don't be scared of people find your IP. IP is useless, the geolocation isn't even that precise. One last thing, never trust anyone completely. Yes, make friends, share your face and talk about life struggles. NEVER share your address, real name, school name, etc. That's quite literally how most cases of online extortion start. You never truely know who's on the other side of the screen, nor do you know their true intentions.
Thanks for reading!
