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!
account-hook 'imaps://mail.cock.li:993/' "\
             set imap_user=USER1@cock.li imap_pass=`cat ~/.mutt/.cock ` " # imap_pass=$my_cock_pass "
#account-hook 'imaps://USER2@imap.gmail.com/' "\
#              set imap_user=USER2 imap_pass=$my_gmail_pass "

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();" " "

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

I2P

INSTALLATION

• Make directory that will contain I2P
  mkdir /path/to/.i2p

• Go to directory
  cd /path/to/.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

• In case you get an error you'll need to use the next script to start every time
  ./runplain.sh

To uninstall simply delete the directory.

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
  i2prouter status

• Start
  i2prouter start

• Stop
  i2prouter stop

• Stop nicely
  i2prouter graceful

EEPSITES

Configuration to browse I2P eepsites. To be used with GNU IceCat.

• 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".

Address Book is a list of eepsites.

• Your own eepsite is already active but invisible, the directory 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

• Paste the magnet URL on the field "From URL"
• Start the torrent.

OPTION B

• Download the .torrent file.
• Move torrent file it to destination ~/.i2p/i2psnark/.
• Go to i2psnark in browser or refresh page (http://localhost:7657/i2psnark/).

CREATING

• Place data in i2psnark directory.
  mv <TORRENT_DATA> ~/.i2p/i2psnark/
