Malicious Life Podcast episode on 2FA / MFA
** Apologies for the mic being a little "hot" on this episode, I am in a new space and working out the production kinks.
Correction on Tornado Cash Tornado Cash was a DeFi app for mixing Ethereum. I said on the previous episode that it was for Bitcoin but I want to be clear that it was being used for Ethereum mixing. Essentially the system worked using smart contracts to send and receive ethereum. When you deposit your funds, it issues a receipt to withdraw the same amount. It breaks the chain of ownership or anonymize your funds by breaking the connection to the original wallet. So because the US Treasury has sanctioned the use of Tornado Cash then anyone who has received any ethereum could be sanctioned. But Tornado Cash is still functioning because it runs on the block-chain and is accessible via IPFS network. IPFS is a peer-to-peer (p2p) storage network. Content is accessible through peers located anywhere in the world, that might relay information, store it, or do both. IPFS knows how to find what you ask for using its content address rather than its location.
There are three fundamental principles to understanding IPFS:
- Unique identification via content addressing
- Content linking via directed acyclic graphs (DAGs)
- Content discovery via distributed hash tables (DHTs)
These three principles build upon each other to enable the IPFS ecosystem. Let's start with content addressing and the unique identification of content. Mental Outlaw Breakdown Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7gaqhF-wrQ

Patreon Launched !! - https://www.patreon.com/closednetwork Follow Me On Twitter - https://twitter.com/closedntwrk I'm trying out a new privacy service called "PGPP by INVISV. - https://invisv.com/articles/pretty-good-phone-privacy.html New Privacy Products - INVISV - PGPP What Is Pretty Good Phone Privacy?
Mobile Network Privacy: Mobile Pro and Mobile Core
Pretty Good Phone Privacy (PGPP) is a fundamentally new type of service that gives you private mobile connectivity. In traditional mobile networks, you are identifiable by your IMSI, a permanent, globally unique identifier that is stored in your SIM card and sent to mobile towers when your phone is on. Because your IMSI never changes, and your phone connects to towers based on location and signal strength, mobile networks can track who you are and where you are located at all times. Because of this, the IMSI leaves an indelible location history, which has been used by mobile providers and numerous others, for virtually every person on the planet. IMSIs are also targeted and captured by third-party attackers using devices known as IMSI catchers, also known as Stingrays, to track a user’s presence and activity in a given location. Because the IMSI number is tied to the SIM and used during communication with cell towers, it can also be used to track the movements of the user. In that case, the cell towers’ location is used to triangulate your position. Theoretical experiment I"m going to try. Purchase a used Pixel with crypto or cash Register Silent Link eSIM - paid in BTC (after running through Whirlpool) Install PGPP - register with a prepaid debit card in cash after it's been sitting for 3-6 months. Alternatively, one might be able to use a Mint SIM - bought in cash at a Best Buy, and topped up with prepaid cash debit cards.

Benefits of running a full bitcoin node
-
When you run a Bitcoin node, you bolster security and enhance your privacy. Also, running a node enables you to prove that nobody manipulates the network or changes the rules.
-
Creating transactions with your Bitcoin node can enhance security by eliminating or reducing the need to expose private keys.
-
What's more, running a Bitcoin node enables you to complete and broadcast transactions from it, thereby avoiding services that can compromise personal information. A node eliminates the use of a block explorer in verifying a transaction status. A block explorer allows a third party to track transaction history while linking it to an IP address. Thus, it can leak physical location details, Bitcoin balance, and financial counter-parties. Running a Bitcoin node can help you avoid such issues.
