BROWSER

GNU ICECAT

Download from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnuzilla/
Unpack the tarball
As ROOT, copy and rename the folder as /opt/icecat
ln -s /opt/icecat/icecat /usr/bin/icecat

ADDONS

These addons worked excellent to cover any fingerprinting, until Mozilla decided to break things since Firefox 52.

(Cross-)Site Request, Anti-XSS, Trackers, Referer, Cookies: uMatrix
Security Settings: Privacy Settings
User-Agent: Random Agent Spoofer, User-Agent JS Fixer
Plugin Enumeration: Disable plugin enum (see Mechazawa's script, and install with greasemonkey)
Content Delivery Blocker: Decentraleyes
URI Leak: No Resource URI Leak
Canvas-Fingerprinting: Canvas Defender
SSL (strict HTTPS): HTTPS by default
URL Deobfuscator: Pure URL
Google Redirection: Google search link fix

ABOUT CONFIG

These tips prevent overflow your root directory or getting constantly write and delete to try and kill your drive.

Go to about:config
Put a 0 to everything that can write to the disk.
Limit ram memory and also turn off syncing ect.
Make it read only.
If you need to save things have a seperate chroot with a seperate physical drive and make that your downloads folder.

E-MAIL

TODO:

Set cock.li
Configure mutt
Create account.
Set mutiple accounts
Send mail
Send attachment
To cancel an action in mutt hit CTRL+g
Use notmuch
set i2p-bote

E-MAIL STORAGE FORMATS

MAILDIR = several files
MBOX = one file for everything

MUTTRC

Example config with cock.li and gmail. Not quite complete but can work if tweaked.

#---------------------------------------
# ~/.mutt/muttrc settings mutt 1.5.20
#---------------------------------------
#
#---------------------------------------
# One-Time Previous Steps
#---------------------------------------
# Generate keys with proper user
# $ gpg --gen-key
#
# Make proper directory with file:
# $ mkdir ~/.mutt && touch ~/.mutt/.passwd
#
# Put the following inside ~/.mutt/.passwd:
# set cock_pass="password"
# set gmail_pass="password"
#
# Encrypt with proper user:
# $ gpg -r USER1 -e ~/.mutt/.passwd
# $ shred ~/.mutt/.passwd
# $ rm -f ~/.mutt/.passwd
#
#---------------------------------------
# Process the password file first (the "|" pipes to Mutt)
#---------------------------------------
#source "gpg -d ~/.mutt/.passwd.gpg |"
#
#---------------------------------------
# Account Hooks
#---------------------------------------
account-hook . 'unset imap_user imap_pass' # unset first!

USENET

The software used is slrn ( with slrnpull and + slrnface).

1. Create slrn.rc:

set username "desired_username"
set hostname "desired_hostname.invalid"
set replyto "some_name <email@example.com>"
charset display utf8
charset outgoing utf8
setkey group "set_prefix_argument(4); () = select_group();" " "

1. Set $NNTPSERVER to usenet provider (set in config file):
  NNTPSERVER='server_name' && export NNTPSERVER
1. Set $EDITOR to preferred text editor (set in slrn.rc file):
  set editor_command "vim '+set tw=72' +%d '%s'"
1. Create .jnewsrc
  touch .jnewsrc
1. Create configuration slrn --create
1. Download a list of newsgroups
  slrn -d

I2P

I2P is a darknet like Tor but with more services like e-mail, IRC, torrents, and others. Once you install it you can configure it by its web interface at http://localhost:7657/home.

INSTALLATION

Make directory that will contain I2P
mkdir ~/.i2p
Go to directory
cd ~/.i2p
Download (replace with the newest version)
wget -c https://download.i2p2.de/releases/<VERSION>/i2pinstall_<VERSION>.jar
Run the installer (and select options like the current path)
java -jar i2pinstall_<VERSION>.jar -console

To uninstall simply delete the directory.

I2PD

I2PD is a version of I2P based on C++ instead of Java. Currently with limited support (no torrents). Therefore is OPTIONAL and its funtion is separated from the rest of the guide.

Dependencies:

libboost
cmake
make

Download.
git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd.git
Go to directory.
cd i2pd/build
Build.

cmake
make

Install

mkdir $HOME/.i2pd
cp i2pd $HOME/.i2pd
cp -R contrib/certificates $HOME/.i2pd
cp contrib/i2pd.conf $HOME/.i2pd
cd $HOME/.i2pd
ulimit -n 4096  # optional file limit

To run:

cd $HOME/.i2pd
./i2pd --datadir .

To stop:
kill -INT $( cat /var/run/i2pd/i2pd.pid )

REMOTE ACCESS

To access your I2P router from another computer.

On ~/.i2p/clients.config replace
clientApp.0.args=7657 ::1,127.0.0.1 ./webapps/
with
clientApp.0.args=7657 ::1,127.0.0.1,<REMOTE_IP> ./webapps/
where <REMOTE_IP> is the IP of the computer running I2P.
Restart I2P.

BASIC COMMANDS

See status
~/.i2p/i2prouter status
Start
~/.i2p/i2prouter start
Stop
~/.i2p/i2prouter stop
Stop nicely
~/.i2p/i2prouter graceful
NOTE: In case you get an error, instead of all the above commands, you'll be able to start I2P using the next:
~/.i2p/runplain.sh

You can stop the program from inside the web interface.

BROWSING I2P EEPSITES

Configuration to browse I2P eepsites. To be used with GNU IceCat. Make sure your list of peers is seeded on the web interface configuration page. Address Book is a list of eepsites.

OPTION A

Go to "Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection (Settings)".
Check "Manual proxy configuration".
Fill with the address:
127.0.0.1 and port 4444 for HTTP
127.0.0.1 and port 4445 for HTTPS
127.0.0.1 and port 4444 for FTP
In the "No proxy for" add:
localhost, 127.0.0.1
Mark "Proxy DNS when using SOCKS".

OPTION B

Download FoxyProxy.
Click on the FoxyProxy icon.
Click on "Add New Proxy".
On the "General" tab add I2P as the name.
Go to "Proxy Details" tab.
In "Host or IP Address" field add 127.0.0.1.
In the "Port" field 4444.
Click on the "URL Patterns" tab.
In the "Pattern Name" field add as I2P.
In the "URL pattern" field enter *.i2p*.
Click "OK".
Right click on the FoxyProxy icon.
Select "Use proxies baed on their predefined patterns".

YOUR OWN EEPSITE

Your own eepsite is already active but invisible, the directory is located at:
~/.i2p/eepsite/docroot/
The I2P Tunnel Manager contains the setting of your eepsite.

IRC

Add the I2P network
/server add -network i2p localhost 6668
Connect
/connect i2p
Save configuration
/save
From now on, to connect simply type
/connect i2p

TORRENTS
