[05:02:48] Nimko/rizon Hey guys since you all have been on the internet a lot longer than I have what ways do people usually end up getting doxxed on the internet? I know people can look up your IP but what exactly do they do to figure out where you live and stuff?

[05:05:18] Nimko/rizon Huh

[05:05:39] Nimko/rizon interesting I see

[05:05:50] Nimko/rizon I always thought it was like a data breach thing

[05:06:21] Nimko/rizon like they find your ip or email in a databreach

[05:07:46] Nimko/rizon So would the best course of action would be to keep the information you use to interact with people limited?

[05:08:33] Nimko/rizon Like any social media you enjoy you use a new and specific email/password/username

[05:08:39] Nimko/rizon *use

[05:09:08] Nimko/rizon ugh *Like any social media you use to interact with people

[05:10:13] Nimko/rizon You have known anyone who was doxxed before?

[05:10:43] Nimko/rizon I know this IRC so I'd think there would be a lot of old internet drama and hacking on this older networks I guess

[05:13:42] Nimko/rizon I see. places Facebook seems to invasive even to me

[05:14:44] Nimko/rizon In order to have an account they actually have to verify your identity which is kinda extreme to me to be honest

[05:15:32] Nimko/rizon but I guess connecting to real people is the point of it I guess

[05:19:31] Nimko/rizon yeah definitely seems that way lol

[05:19:51] Nimko/rizon thanks

[05:19:59] Nimko/rizon goodnight NiniGeo2

[05:29:16] Nimko/rizon tr_ What about it?

[05:29:28] Nimko/rizon Isn't it just for people looking for jobs?

[05:29:41] Nimko/rizon ohhhh

[05:30:05] Nimko/rizon you post where you work and stuff yeah that's bad lol

[06:14:01] Nimko/rizon oh

[06:14:08] Nimko/rizon weird

[06:14:49] Nimko/rizon are people with your ips able to tell what websites you've visitied?

[06:15:03] Nimko/rizon like where your IP has been

[06:16:51] Nimko/rizon hmmm

[06:18:11] Nimko/rizon ohhh okay I see what HTTPS and TLS is supposed to do know

[06:18:25] Nimko/rizon the S part is to mean that it secure for your DNS right?

[06:18:35] Nimko/rizon or something like

[06:19:05] Nimko/rizon I've been to websites where my browser would warn me that it doesn't use HTTPS but just HTTP

[06:19:41] Nimko/rizon So where exactly does the danger of that come in?

[06:20:05] Nimko/rizon isn't the hosters of the website able to see everything already?

[06:22:51] Nimko/rizon so if someone had my IP and just so happened to know what website I've been on and that website also had happend to not be secure with HTTPS, they would be able to see what I did on there?

[06:25:56] Nimko/rizon I also heard that with IPs they can do something(?) with the ports and get access? tr_

[06:26:11] Nimko/rizon sorry my client only gives tr_

[06:27:52] Nimko/rizon ohh I see

[06:28:18] Nimko/rizon Yeah lots of zoom bombing in 2020 and 2021 lol

[06:28:21] Nimko/rizon but

[06:29:34] Nimko/rizon ohhhh yeah isn't what they call remote code execution? tr_

[06:31:45] Nimko/rizon hrmm would the best course of action be to get a specific router that isn't just the standard one by the ISP and get those open source firewalls softwares on Github?

[06:31:51] Nimko/rizon tr_ yeah true

[06:32:13] Nimko/rizon I never had much of a presence on the internet

[06:32:25] Nimko/rizon Pi hole?

[06:33:06] Nimko/rizon O_o I thought a firewall was just software on the router already or something like that

[06:33:42] Nimko/rizon ohhhhhhh sorry I'm being stupid

[06:33:50] Nimko/rizon like Windows Firewall

[06:33:55] Nimko/rizon right

[06:35:41] Nimko/rizon hmmm so what could you do with multiple firewalls together? tr_

[06:37:30] Nimko/rizon So your normal router isn't the end all be all? if someone gets past your router's firewall wouldn't don't they kinda have everything?

[06:37:58] Nimko/rizon like since its connects to your computer and everything else

[06:43:48] Nimko/rizon I see interesting

[06:43:59] Nimko/rizon what would a pi-hole do?

[06:44:09] Nimko/rizon well prevent I guess

[06:45:05] Nimko/rizon Ah i see now

[06:45:40] Nimko/rizon Your computer wouldn't be connected to the router but to the pi-hole

[06:46:09] Nimko/rizon so if they got past your router firewall it would be the pi-hole's turn

[06:50:00] Nimko/rizon is there a solution to it?

[06:50:55] Nimko/rizon ah sorry I read your post wrong lol

[06:51:29] Nimko/rizon so I SHOULD get a another router rather than my ISPs standard ones

[06:54:26] Nimko/rizon wow

[06:55:33] Nimko/rizon hm if I ever decided to get fiber optic plans from my ISP does that changes things?

[06:56:19] Nimko/rizon I feel it may not but I'm just curious because I thought about getting them one day

[07:01:43] Nimko/rizon O_o woah

[07:02:23] Nimko/rizon I assumed it was just faster connection that required some physical installation cause the cables are different and whatever

[07:03:59] Nimko/rizon so firewalls and pi-holes would be even more difficult? Are most ISPs known to lock things down so much (outside of censorship)?
