This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Irl they'd just refuse to leave, and maybe shoot your dog.

[–] Vile_port_aloo@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Irl they've already bugged your home and the train arrives 0800 tomorrow morning, you will never be seen again.

If there's not a thermite microcharge hovering above your crime drive are you even really posting? Ctrl-Super-M (for melt) and that sucker's a puddle

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 5 hours ago

Anon needs a bugout bag plan, which also would have him wipe his computer when he leaves. He needs to have some drills tho.

But like other people said in the comments, it is not the smartest legal move.

Step 1: Back up important files
Step 2: boot from live Linux USB
Step 3: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvmeX && dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/nvmeX Repeat as many times as you wish

[–] hodgepodgin@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 minutes ago

If you have nvme use secure erase first.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Use a live Linux ISO that can run entirely in memory, and run step 3 in an infinite loop. Take the USB with you and leave the PC running.

[–] agingelderly@lemmy.world 2 points 42 minutes ago (1 children)

I'm dumb, what does this do?

Runs step 3 in an infinite loop

congrats for torrenting the latest disney movie off their honeypot

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 points 2 minutes ago

Thanks for seeding Disney

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago

Their fault for torrenting without a VPN

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 61 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (2 children)

They already showed their cards so they'll not come back with a warrant. This is more about intimidation than anything else.

I've had the same thing happen to me. "Can we search your house? It will help you if you have nothing to hide". Fuck off cunts. They didn't try again.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 9 points 3 hours ago

Pretty much.

If OP had something incriminating, they would already have the paperwork they need to grab it.

Police knocking on your door is hoping you would give them information to arrest you. Proper swat team breaking down your door means they already had it.

ICE doesn't count. They're not cops.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 23 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

“Can we search your house? It will only help you if you have nothing to hide”.

Help me how, to get arrested faster? lmao

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" remains at the top of my list of bullshit lines of "reasoning" I've ever heard in my entire life.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

I removed the "only" from my text because it was a bit ambiguous.

But yes it was exactly that. It's like they consider themselves to be the law. "You're either with me or against me". Typical BS.

It's mostly cops that think they have something to prove and try to do stuff by themselves.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 19 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

What did anon even do to be on the radar, this is just not credible. They would never show up for a chat if that was the case, they would collect evidence quietly.

[–] LordFireCrotch@lemmy.today 34 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

4chan green text? Not credible?

No way!

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Green and gay of whatever

[–] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 88 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Fake: cops obeying the law and following due process? Really?

Gay: Anon clearly took “be gay, do crimes” seriously… too bad he didn’t take his opsec as seriously…

Would it be possible to wipe some files off the PC without leaving any traces?

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, but there will be a trace that something was wiped if you use certain tools and didn't then fill that empty scrambled space with a bunch of games or something.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 5 points 4 hours ago

"Why do you you have 47 installs of Roller Coaster Tychoon anon?"

"I was multiboxing."

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

I don't believe any local law enforcement, at least where I'm at, has a cyber crimes team capable of knowing this and pursuing it even if they did. Federal level? Sure. But if they're coming they already have warrants and you're fucked. Local doesn't invest money in stuff like that.

burn the ssd/hard drives

[–] mech@feddit.org 68 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

If the cops actually had anything real on him, they could get the warrant over the phone while stalling you at the door, or even storm your place and get it later.
And even if they don't get it, no cop can get in trouble for the raid if they "suspect" you might destroy evidence, and anything they find can still be used in court.

It completely invalidates your 4th amendment rights, but congress felt this was needed to protect you against "terrorists" 25 years ago.

So if there is anything on your computer, deleting it just destroys the file directory to it, they can find it still, you have to delete everything, then rewrite over it with new information.
