Lessons learnt so far:
Is anyone really successfully able to be anonymous online all of the time, giving up the modern conveniences of a fast browser, using google and allowing cookies etc all seem to make it not worth it. Posted from my parachute account.

Oooor you could do something more constructive with your time instead of committing several crimes just to...troll some idiots online.

It’s an interesting thought experiment as long as you accept the Mossad will always be able to find you. E: what crimes?

i've got a few thoughts but why are you approaching this as a single person? the group's going to be active on other sites as well so how far are you willing to go in infiltrating? how long as you expecting to spend per-day? how long for? what's the end goal?

Fun Fact: There haven't been anonymous prepaid credit/debit cards in the US since the Patriot Act in 2001. You can buy them, but they have to be activated with a valid ID before they can be spent. Good luck with your money laundering efforts, I hope you teach those incels how wacky they are!

instead of tor just drive to a place with free wifi (mcdonalds, starbucks) etc and maybe change your mac to something random if you're feeling really paranoid before connecting. if you need to make a burner facebook account, you don't need a sim card - a VOIP number will work and you can get those for free (e.g. google voice, skype) or just use a service like burner which lets you make a temporary fake number for the purpose of activation.

The end goal is not a take down of some lame facebook group, but was the catalyst for thinking about how difficult it is to genuinely be anonymous online. Turns out not very for what I thought would be a simple enough task. The purpose was to consider online anonymity. ymgve posted:Oooor you could do something more constructive with your time instead of committing several crimes just to...troll some idiots online.

You can buy them, but they have to be activated with a valid ID before they can be spent. I didn't know that. I wonder if you could pick up prepaid CC cards in another country for use where no ID was required? From my extensive experience watching The Wire, money laundering at any plausible scale seems much easier using semi-legitimate businesses that handle a lot of cash, e.g. arcades, launderettes and printing shops.

Because those things are important and effect the world, done by people making a difference, not some loser to scared to "gently troll" some group of idiots online. How many times a day do you say "owned, epic fail or lol"?

Personally I think you're putting too much effort into this. Put tails on a flash drive and pop it into a computer, run macchanger and either openvpn to your vpn and go right for it. or use tor. You're better off using a fake number to set up a fake account rather than trying to buy an account. You could always try ParrotSecurityOS (I'm a fan). Then you could boot from usb also and pop on anonymous browsing and then start tor or vpn > tor. As far as obscuring computer identity that's a fairly good way, if you ever got traced back too it'd be a good effort. Also as suggested previously, doing this on a laptop on free wifi somewhere would be a good approach. Just make yourself a facebook account the regular way with any method that doesn't end up pointing to you, google voice numbers would be linked to the google account btw. But yea, there's fake number verification sites and you can still buy cheap phones if that needs to be done. It really shouldn't be too difficult.

Unless you're hiding/stealing top secret stuff or doing something illegal... a VPN should be enough for your purposes. Everything else is overkill. Really, You really don't even need a VPN really unless you think you would be sued by this facebook group. You're being really paranoid and there's no reason to use virtualization for this and you don't even need a VPN. The Tor browser, wasn't that hacked by a government agency? I don't remember the details though. DropsySufferer fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Sep 9, 2018 |

https://theintercept.com/2017/02/20/how-to-run-a-rogue-government-twitter-account-with-an-anonymous-email-address-and-a-burner-phone/ But the two things you are trying to do at the same time:
in reality facebook does not give a poo poo about fake people, which is why the russians have thousands to sell to an idiot who bought linden dollars and bitcoins. those russian facebook accounts will be paper-thin fakes that are useless for anything but likes and follows and other social media manipulation, which facebook turns a blind eye to because it makes their platform seem bigger and more engaged. unless you are "trolling" so hard that a judge will sign a subpoena against your troll account, you should just abandon all the idiotic cloak and dagger poo poo and sign in to facebook from home. use your existing account to invite "a friend" (ie your fake troll account) to the platform -- facebook doesn't do all that ID poo poo in that case. they don't care.

They cover a lot of the stuff that the OP is asking about in The Complete Privacy & Security podcast. inteltechniques.com/podcast.html It'll take you a while to go back to the start and get through them all. I used to listen to it quite a bit when I was in a dull factory job. Not so much now. There's some interesting tips throughout the series.
