    Correct, but the other stuff is still relevant.

    Also do these trackers have a way of tracking you through your laptop too? Like a network card or MAC address something? Do I need to get a new laptop?
    Haha, no. The MAC address thing is a myth. And if you needed to buy a new computer every time you want to create a dupe, DarkSaibot would own enough processing power to run the Matrix

    Anyway, I've been meaning to make some updates to the first post for a while, since its age shows somewhat ("Google Chrome 4", "What.cd and x264"). But if you think about it in terms of tasks to do rather than exact steps to follow, you'll be fine.

    Makes sense. The reason why I asked is that I got permabanned or "IPbanned" on twitter for an inflammatory post I made. So I cleared browser history, created a new email, changed my country as I moved from the US back to India. Lo and behold I'm banned in like 5 mins after registration. I was like wtf happened. How did they find out I'm the bad guy? Luckily they gave me an option to enter my phone number and confirm my account and I was like ok I'll do it, can I login in peace now? I don't know what kinda scripts they're runnin but damn it's bad.

    Big mainstream services are known to suspend accounts (both new and old but especially new) that engage on any kind of "suspicious activity", in a way that often can't be distinguished from picking them at random. I lost my first Gmail from when they were invite-only that way: one day Google decided they needed to verify my identity before letting me in, and since no recovery options were available (they weren't mandatory on 2004), it was essentially equivalent to having the account closed.

    Anyway, this is no promise, but I still want to make the aforementioned updates. I would appreciate feedback on what you all think should be added, clarified or removed. After having a quick look at the first post, I can think of at least a few points.

    • Editing or removing references to now-obsolete sites or procedures (e.g. cmyip.com, What.cd, Flash cookies, Extreme Mod custom ID).
    • Removing step-by-step instructions for programs, as those have changed (and will change) and their documentation is a better reference anyway.
    • Add an explanation regarding VPNs and proxies, as private trackers' stances on those are generally more permissive than 11 years ago.
    • Add more details about which account data trackers log, how, and for what purposes, because know thy enemy and stuff.

    yes they know everything about you, all sites with images are fingerprinting you, to know what fingerprint means you can check julesjordan with torbrowser, they will know your browser language, ram, video card, that is enough for marking you

    Hah! I daresay most of this forum had to become acquainted with such matters by force, and very early on. So can you, if you read our extensive discussions, particularly anything posted by Renk (https://www.sb-innovation.de/showthread.php?t=32755 and https://www.sb-innovation.de/showthread.php?t=34774 are good starts).

    The problem is, the usual countermeasures and paradigms do not apply here. Tor Browser's primary goal is to deter individual user tracking by giving everyone an identical fingerprint, routing all traffic through Tor to make IP addresses irrelevant, and not retaining browsing data across sessions by default. However, on a private tracker, this screams "dupe or suspicious account". IPs in particular are far more entropic identifiers than on the "normal" Internet, due to the rules governing account sharing, connections from proxies and VPNs, and usage of mobile Internet (or to be precise, disallowing or heavily regulating all of them).

    Basically, you need to look different from your previous identity, and simultaneously similar to an average member.

    you said they don't know mac adress, they don't need to know, they fingerprint and with this is enough for mark anyone, probability to have similar pc in your ip range is very low, maybe in big countries where the pt activity is bigger you could hide your identity but if your country have small pt activity you are done, and disable javascript is not an option because all buttons and functionality needs it

    But you can change your fingerprint.

    True to an extent, but I acknowledged as much in my previous post where I mentioned IPs are considered more specific identifiers. If you were the only guy in Mozambique or the Falkland Islands with a RED account, you may need to think about potential workarounds.

    What if you simply format your computer? Doesn't that remove all "fingerprints" (besides hardware fingerprint)?

    Also how do you know you've removed your entire fingerprint? Is there a checklist? Also is the OP comprehensive?

    I wish there was a way to delete your entire account info from the given tracker's database.

    All of this can be answered by reading posts #469 and and #471

    I wish there was a way to delete your entire account info from the given tracker's database.
    I've been wishing for that since 2010, and not because I want to make dupes more easily... obviously won't happen in any case.

    I am very interested in this, as I recently got banned.

    Main thing I d be interested to know is which account data trackers log, how and for what purposes. For example if I had a seedbox, would it be wise to change that too, and do seedboxes re-use ips, so would someone else potentially have issues with my ip later on, which is obviously something I would not want.

    And obviously all the new ways trackers would be able to link me to my past account.

    the amount of plain text data retained is wild, this was really informative. I’m sure there’s more people interested. They must be just paranoid of posting. I’ll keep an eye out if you ever have the energy to update the starting post with the newest info and recommendations.

    I know anon (is / might be / who knows ?) working on an updated version of the guide specific to reregistering on trackers, but as I m going through the motion of learning that stuff myself, I have also been very curious about minimizing my digital footprint, which in turn helps with anonymity while torrenting and the likes.

    If you want to start your journey into digital privacy, here are the steps and recommended resources I have found :

    1. THREAT MODELING - this means, looking into your desired level of privacy for each part of your life, I d recommend looking at the tutorial first and then checking out the tutorials
    1.
    2. [The New Oil](https://thenewoil.org/threatmodel.html)
    3. [Your Security Plan ](https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/your-security-plan)

    2. GO AND DELETE + SLIM DOWN YOUR ACCOUNTS - this steps is a drag. Basically you will probably want to check if any of your emails / phones got leaked via [Have I Been Pwned](https://haveibeenpwned.com) and then, depending on the level of leak, change passwords if they have been used in other places and eliminate the emails that have leaked. Also going into each account and only give the information the account needs, and eventually delete said accounts and / or if you live in EU, you will be able to email the company directly and ask to be deleted from their database. The link below is a helpful place to see a lot of accounts and how to delete them all at once.
    1. [Just Delete Me](https://justdeleteme.xyz)

    3. WHAT EMAIL PROVIDER - open an account with a private, secure email provider like [Tutanota](https://tutanota.com) or [Proton](https://proton.me) make sure you have different ones set up depending on your threat level and the way you want to use them, for example you might want an email specific for online shopping / services and another one social media, etc..

    4. WHAT BROWSER - In my opinion, having a few browser that are used for different purposes would be a good idea here. Recommended browsers are Tor, Firefox, Brave, Safari (in this order). Make sure you download the latest versions, and follow guides to harden your browser, here are two excellent ones for [Arkenfox (Firefox)](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/) and [Brave Browser](https://anonymousplanet.org/guide.html#brave-1). Following that, the recommended modern extensions to install are the following ones:
    1. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock (MUST INSTALL)
    2. [Skip Redirect ? Get this Extension for ?? Firefox (en-US)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...skip-redirect/) (MUST INSTALL)
    3. [LocalCDN](https://www.localcdn.org) (MUST INSTALL)
    4. [CanvasBlocker ? Get this Extension for ?? Firefox (en-US)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...canvasblocker/) (OPTIONAL)
    5. [Header Editor ? Get this Extension for ?? Firefox (en-US)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...or/)(OPTIONAL)
    6. [Firefox Multi-Account Containers ? Get this Extension for ?? Firefox (en-US)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...rs/)(OPTIONAL)
    7. [Request Control ? Get this Extension for ?? Firefox (en-US)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ol/)(OPTIONAL)
    8. [Redirector ? Get this Extension for ?? Firefox (en-US)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...or/)(OPTIONAL)
    9. [Smart Referer ? Get this Extension for ?? Firefox (en-US)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...er/)(OPTIONAL)
    10. [Behave! ? Get this Extension for ?? Firefox (en-US)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ve/)(OPTIONAL)
    11. [Extension source viewer ? Get this Extension for ?? Firefox (en-US)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...er/)(OPTIONAL)

    5. PASSWORD MANAGER - While this step isn?t *technically* privacy related, properly securing accounts can lead to much better privacy by reducing the amount of data leaks and hacks you experience as a result of stolen or leaked credentials. Password managers make it extremely simple to manage usernames and passwords across all of the sites and apps you use, without needing to re-use password (or username or email!) in order to remember them, recommended ones are:
    1. [Bitwarden](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...sword-manager/)
    2. [KeePassXC Password Manager](https://keepassxc.org)

    6. SEARCH ENGINE - This step can seem extremely annoying at first as none of the privacy-preserving search engines are quite as fast or complete as simply using Google, but the data you provide to a search engine tells *a lot* about you, and removing that data point is a key step towards reducing your digital footprint. Each of the alternatives have some key pros and cons, and are really up to personal choice ? I?d recommend trying them each for a day or more as your default and see what solution fits you best:
    1. https://search.brave.com - Brave is building their own search engine from the ground up instead of just proxying results from Google or Microsoft.
    2. [Searx](https://searx.github.io/searx/)
    3. [whoogle](https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search)

    7. VPN PROVIDERS - VPNs often get a bad rap as there are *so many* malicious and predatory VPN providers out there with tons of money throwing around bad advertisements. Using a non-logging and trustworthy VPN is a great way to shift the trust from your network provider (home ISP, mobile carrier, etc.) to a 3rd-party you trust more than them (and that don?t have your personal information or address). When selecting a VPN it?s *extremely* important that you do your own research and come to your own conclusions, here is a resource to do so :
    1. [Techlore | VPN Chart](https://techlore.tech/vpn)

    8. DESKTOP OS - If you are on mac, there is an awesome tool for virtualization [UTM | Virtual machines for Mac](https://mac.getutm.app)

    Oops, almost missed this. Unfortunately (and as I said on post #471), a lot of advice from privacy guides does not apply in this context, due to the intricacies of the torrent world. You'll have to either compromise or not use private trackers. Also, here's another link for you to read.

    https://www.sb-innovation.de/showthread.php?p=338839

    The only places whose logging policy aimed to protect staff and users were UK-T, TS and OT. The first took it to its logical extreme and self-destructed as soon as trouble became imminent; the others closed for unrelated reasons.
