Police plant their own nodes inside Freenet, log IP's, make arrest

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Good riddance but also chilling reality bcos those same techniques can be used to deanon anyone. I always think of the pedos as the canaries in the cole mine

The ICAC: Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force."
Why does this sound just as fucked up and corrupt as actual crimes against children?

TOR dosent works this way.
Exit nodes know the traffic but not the origin. Only entry node knows that (and it dosent knows the traffic). So they aint getting who views what unless they have both nodes

I really hope they get help instead of them just being put in jail. I've personally known pedophiles (not child rapists or consumers of porn, VERY big difference) and the second people find out about it they're instantly cast aside. Heck, it wasn't until recently that their therapist's office stopped their policy of arresting them instantly if they admitted to it.

So what's the trick they use to determine whether a freenet node is the ultimate destination for a download?

Dont worry kiddos you can still order your drugs semi-safely! Even from reading the article it seems it took them awhile to even get that 1 person. Only people that should be worried are vendors as there is a possibility that LE does have nodes in TOR.

They visited a certain person's house(not saying :P) and did a thorough search. This was early in 2015. The person had been experimenting with i2p, freenet, tor, and examining many different hidden sites, having no particular moral preferences with regard to content. They've masturbated to literally everything imaginable.
The person in question witnessed an unusual looking vehicle with a lightbar drive by their house about a month ahead of time.. so that was enough for them to pretty much delete and erase the required sectors, although they were already privacy aware and kept a clean computer. Tools that were useful - comodo uninstall keeps track of all hidden folders. Any cache files that need to be removed, it helps remove. Windows will trim deleted files. However, only INTEL ssd's completely set trimmed sectors to 0. Other SSD's will have garbage content that can be carved to recover evidence. A lack of encrypted drives made it difficult to pre-emptively incriminate.
Don't keep anything you care about in encrypted files. Not your access keys, not your information, nothing. If you want to look for content or purchase drugs, just use a vpn or tor. Never download things people send you on the internet. Numerous friends of this person were active paedos (although the association was more or less involuntary, through a shared social community) that would regularly send everyone in the community their illicit content, get banned, come back under a new name, and repeat their activities. If even a little bit of the content had been saved, it could have wound an innocent person in prison.
Don't use standard browsers. Don't use java. Minimize your attack surface from the nsa, from snooping people and more. I hope this helps you, from one privacy enthusiast and libertarian socialist to another, from one person who intends to be a productive member of society with a partner, kids, a nice house, and interesting past-times someday, to another dysfunctional young individual growing up in a time of increasing social dysfunctionality, with autistic boys and precocious sexual girls, desperate old feminist women and insecure old chauvinism men.

Our time is coming. Society as we know it is collapsing and being reformed on community frameworks. Find your friends, find your future, and give up on the glorified quests of our predecessors. The time may come that you are grateful to have electricity- or even be alive.
It was someone who downloaded child porn regularly, good riddance. I, for one, am not gonna lose sleep over the police doing the work of good for once.
