56A History of Doxing
57
58[1]Doxing is a term believed to have roots in the age of the BBS.
59
60It describes the action of finding information on a target from an initial set of data in the form of a screen name or email. Many people find this information through search engines or other services offered online.
61
62Take note that doxing can take place anywhere, even offline. Individuals can and will try their hand at social engineering. They'll do this by asking businesses or groups for more information on a target. It's accomplished through the claim of being someone they're not or through asking questions.
63
64The word comes from ‘document tracing,’ which has a past in web 1.0.
65
66Regardless, doxing's a neutral act that is free of political and moral responsibilities. It's used by many groups and individuals that range in religious and political beliefs. So, the person committing the act is the one that places politics or morals onto it. 
67
68The target can range from possible racists or sexists to an innocent person or a victim of some scheme.
69
70Remember: Anyone can become a target and victim of doxing.
71
72The truth is that no one is un-dox-able.
73
74It’s speculated this is the end result of mob justice and social justice on the internet.
75
76Doxing is just something that won't go away. And just like its rise to infamy in the early 2000s, it'll always have its ups and downs. We just have to learn to co-exist with it and guard ourselves.
77
78
79• Clarification on the spelling of Dox – One X only, not two. Dox is the proper, original spelling.

91Weaponizing Dox
92
93The internet is quite like a middle school’s playground. It's filled with immature individuals void of any real emotional or mental maturity. Just like in middle school, and some higher education, gossip is common. People will use your past against you. They’ll work on every tiny flaw and mistake to isolate you from others. And, like a lion singling out an ill gazelle from the herd, some people are quite opportunistic.
94
95Though, we’ll note that’s where the similarities end.
96
97People online, at large, have no means of coping with opinions or views that don’t match to their own. They’re so afraid of something of theirs being spoken badly of, that they seek to silence. Doxing is currently the most common form for silencing this supposed dissent. It's used to shame, blame and emotionally or mentally scar someone into censoring themselves.
98
99This self policing on tone and content isn’t something that many will see as a reason to prevent dox. Many will see it as a nuisance that’ll not happen to them.
100
101Why would anyone target you, right?
102
103You don’t matter, right?
104
105You’re right. You don’t matter. You’re just another pseudo-anonymous individual. That’s why it matters, too, though. By being online, you’re already a target for doxing. You frequent social media, the threats doubled.
106
107If you dare speak your mind, entire legions of perpetually angry individuals see you. They’re mad at you for existing. They’re mad at you for simply being an individual with their own views and voice. You said something they deemed bad. Maybe it's a "Micro-aggression" or wrong think. Either way, you are just another bump in the road for them. They're on an endless jihad to wipe out anything that might "trigger" them.
108
109They don’t care about you, either. Your family and friends will be targets, too. They’ll lay in wait until you’re at your highest or lowest. It doesn’t matter to them; they just want to make you into an example for stepping out of line.
110
111The line will shift and change constantly, yet it matters not to them. They want to ruin you and yours. Your job will be on the line. Human Resources will be harassed continuously with emails and phone calls. Your employer will wake up to their own social media accounts blasted with comments.
112
113And, again, you aren’t truly the target but what they perceive you as representing. It could be anything, honestly. But, you should still worry nonetheless. We may have stated in “The History of Dox” that doxing is a neutral act—and it is—but it’s being weaponized.
114Why You Should Fear Doxing
115Many believe doxing is something not to worry about. These people believe that by not posting their names, they're safe. It’s just not that easy anymore as we’re no longer a part of Web 1.0. We’re in more danger than ever before when it comes to our privacy. This is due to the interconnectivity of Web 2.0.
116
117You've things like tracking cookies, which is common knowledge. But how many users are aware of Facebook spying on its userbase and non-users alike?
118
119What about the fact that Google and its services are connected?
120
121The average users shouldn’t worry about the above, though.
122
123What will affect the average user is cat-fishing.
124
125Cat-fishing, in some ways, is like doxing and identity theft. You use someone else's information and identity to masquerade as that individual. You then, as this individual, take part in what many refer to as a "romance scam". This can be to try and stalk someone, milk them of their money, or to gain trust to commit a more atrocious act.
126
127Cat-fishing, although like doxing, isn't actually doxing nor the biggest possible threat. Doxing to many is just [1] pizza boxing and flooding a mailbox with [2] literal junk. There are also prank calls, theft of mail and many other acts that can, to some degrees, become worse.
128
129The issue isn’t that some use doxing a means to gather information for identity theft. It isn't just ruining your credit or stealing your money, either. There are some individuals out there who'll use doxing as a form of abuse. 
130
131It isn't the stalking or physical abuse you should worry about, but the mental and emotional abuse.
132
133That stress alone can damage your less-than-mature victims. 
134
135This is why many should fear doxing in its current form. Web 2.0 isn't just pranks and unwanted food. It's now a form of vigilante justice or revenge. It'll be done by those who see themselves as fighting for social justice. They'll ruin the livelihood of many due to any perceived wrong. They’ll continue their antics until the person they’re targeting is destroyed.
136
137• Pizza-boxing is the act of sending pizzas or other unordered food.
138• By literal junk we mean boxes, junk mail and similar items.

150Why You Should Care
151
152Information is the new form of currency that transcends borders and time. It’s used by both the governments and corporations of the world. Due to this simple fact it’s not only a valuable resource but also an important one.
153
154Personal data is sought after, regardless of your worth as an individual. You aren't the one they're interested in--your information is worth more than you. Even when dead, your information is valuable. You can remain apathetic about your information as no one needs to worry when they’re dead. It's just that the truth is quite scary. While you read this, someone is organizing your information into a dossier and selling it as a product.
155
156Corporations and government sponsored alphabet agencies are putting your information into lists and dossiers. These lists and dossiers rest in the dark corners of some data center in Utah (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center).
157
158Every like, tweet, snap and chat saved.
159
160Every bookmark, account and login time noted.
161
162They track everything you say and view.
163
164It’s just the government, nothing to worry about… right?
165
166Well the government's known for ruining things you love; you should know this by now. You should be wary not of the government as a being but as an entity composed of individuals:
167
168• An individual can track an ex-lover (https://www.cnn.com/2013/09/27/politics/nsa-snooping/)
169
170• A group of individuals can target another group based upon their political beliefs (https://dailycaller.com/2014/12/22/bombshell-report-irs-targeted-icky-conservative-groups/)
171
172• A group can view your pornographic viewing habits and use it against you (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20131127/00243625384/nsa-spied-porn-habits-radicalizers-planned-to-use-details-to-embarrass-them.shtml)
173
174The US government is but one of the major concerns for a person that's privacy minded. They not only spy on everyone, but they receive help from many corporations. These corporations make money off you and your information. They will buy, sell and trade with both the government and other corporations.
175
176Sites like Been Verified (https://www.beenverified.com/), Smart Zip (https://www.smartzip.com/) and Intelius (https://www.intelius.com/) will gather and place your data on not only their sites but sell it to others.  Even search engines like Google or Bing have your personal information. These sites can have anything from your name to your address or even pictures of your house and vehicles
177
178It may seem like fear mongering and a lot of fuss about nothing, but your information is used for anything and everything. Anyone can find it now. No one can be too prepared when it comes to their privacy and personal safety.
179
180=========================================================================================================
181
182The Need for Privacy
183
184It doesn't matter if you believe in conspiracies or not, we're not here to judge. It's just that if there was an actual shadow group looking to control the world… then they've done it well. In the West, especially the US, fear is now law and so is the removal of freedom.
185
186We’re exchanging privacy for so-called security. The millenials recognized this early on and completely fumbled the ball. They prefer instant gratification and "karma culture" instead of personal responsibility. Their calls for government transparency were nothing but a forced meme. 
187
188We regurgitate the catchphrases and trends force fed to us on news feeds and dashboards. We wallow in instant gratification and the infinite supply of praise we can get from the internet.  All this has done for us is made us blunt to the concept of having some dignity. We air out our business to any and all who listen in the name of acceptance and progressiveness.
189
190What we’re doing is making ourselves ignorant to the fact that our privacy is dying.
191
192Without privacy, there is no security.
193
194Why do we need privacy?
195
196Why is it important?
197
198Well, without a natural set of social graces and respect... we’ll see what every country under a budding tyranny sees before conflict begins.
199
200Knocks at the door begin and men demanding a simple task: If you see something, say something.
201
202Think of the recent ads on TV and online, or look at the news-paper or even a magazine. They'll have the same thing to an extent—don’t trust people who aren't on Facebook (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/08/06/beware-tech-abandoners-people-without-facebook-accounts-are-suspicious/).
203
204Look around you; we’re now in a continuous state of fear.
205
206We may soon see propaganda in our cities telling us to report people for not socializing the correct way.
207
208This is why privacy is important and needed.

217Compartmentalization and You
218
219When it concerns information security, compartmentalization is the act of limiting access to information to persons or groups who need to know it in order to perform specific tasks. The concept originates from the military when handling "classified information" and intelligence applications. The basis is that if fewer people know the details, the less likely a mission or task will be jeopardized and be risked. This helps limit the chance that data could be compromised or fall into the hands of enemies.
220
221This also explains the varying levels of clearance within organizations, like "TOP SECRET" or the highly restricted "TOP SECRET ULTRA".
222
223Like a well-oiled military machine, one must treat their online life like a separate entity that's in no way, shape or form, related to their offline life. This is to prevent cross contamination of accounts and information.
224
225One such example of compartmentalization in cyber security, for the average internet user, is never using the same username or e-mail address for an account.
226
227Another example would be purchasing a subscription to a good, secure VPN to prevent your own IP and ISP from being detect.
228
229One other example is the use of add-ons to sanitize your referral links and randomizing browser's user agent.
230
231In the end, the best practice is to treat each and every account as a separate entity isolated from your other accounts. A new e-mail address, username, persona and style of typing will be needed for each and every account you create to prevent possible cross contamination.
232
233Please remember these simple steps when creating your accounts:
234• A different username
235• A different e-mail address
236• A different password
237• Always ensure you never use real world information
238• Always ensure your avatar and/or signature is of an image you've used nowhere else
239• Where you can, use a P.O. Box
240• Where you can, use a pre-paid card instead of your credit or debit
241• Where you can, use a burner phone (pre pair cell) instead of your landline or cell number
242• Use a word processor to double check your written content before posting
243• Try to limit the use of words you most commonly use
244• Try to limit your account's profile in what information you provide
245• Try to limit your overall account count to 10 or less
246• Never link accounts to each other
247• Never publicly post e-mail addresses or passwords
248• Never share or link your chat, instant messenger or social media accounts to people you don't trust
249• Never use your real name, nor should you ever post your real world information

253Find your Digital Footprint - Introduction:
254
255Transparency for the sake of online socialization and interaction is a threat. This trend won't die anytime soon, mind you. There are many reasons for this, such as the alarming growth of social networks. You've also the demands for online passports (https://www.wired.com/2012/07/ff_kaspersky/) or services like Klout (https://www.wired.com/2012/04/ff_klout/3/). 
256
257It's obvious the need for privacy is in increasing demand, but the biggest setback for privacy is you.
258
259All those accounts you made in your early internet years? They have most likely left a nice trail that many can follow and use to learn about you. 
260
261You see, it’s true; everything on the internet lasts.
262
263Unlike now, we weren’t taught to be as privacy-minded.  Governments and corporations are fighting to wave privacy off as a paranoid's fantasy. 
264
265Many privacy groups exist and claim to fight for your rights against the invasion of privacy. But how many actually do help? Many are in bed with corporations and/or the government. Many just demand donations because of a believed slight. Others... others just steal content from each other.
266
267The Paranoid's Bible (http://paranoidsbible.tumblr.com/)?
268
269We just want to spread knowledge.
270
271We believe your various accounts should be like any good camp fire: Well planned.
272
273You need to not only think it out but, also plan it out and have an emergency plan in case is spreads too far, too fast. Plus it doesn't hurt to have a plan to extinguish it.
274
275Your online profiles and accounts shouldn’t just rot. They need to be removed and all traces proving its existence also doused out. Like any good Woodsman or woman will tell you: A single campfire can destroy a forest.
276
277This is why you must always plan your accounts and profiles out. Like a campfire left alone in a forest, a single account or profile can destroy an entire life.
278
279Any one account and/or profile can decimate an entire person’s image.
280
281Yes, in theory, everything will remain cached, copied or saved on some server till the end of days.
282
283And you may think that just deleting an account will wipe all traces of it, but that isn’t the truth. Everything, even after deleting an account, is still there. By law, most sites and services have to keep everything on their servers for a few months to a year or more. So, in a sense, you can never delete an account, hence us saying you need to think.
284
285
286There are services for doing background checks on everyone and everything for any reasons.
287
288You have an online footprint and anyone can find it, there’s nothing else to say.
289
290You have a digital trail dedicated to all your old fanfics, photos or images and online debates. 
291
292There are steps that you can take to prevent your online footprint from growing. But nothing short of doxing yourself ([1] self doxing) and learning just how much of your information is online can help.
293
294One issue is how you interact with others online.
295
296Another issue is how much information you post on the internet.
297
298All we can do is give you some simple suggestions before providing you the tools needed to self-dox.
299
300Once done, save this information somewhere on your computer or a USB where other's won't find it. Hold onto this until you've read the rest of this guide. This information will help you delete and opt-out of as much as possible.
301
302• Self doxing isn’t the act of doxing oneself and posting dox for all to see. It’s the opposite. It’s the act of using the tools, tactics and knowledge often used in doxing to “meta-dox” oneself.  This act's done in private, not in the public's eye. You're to find and delete any traces or information that's found through the “self-dox”. This is to prevent possible doxing in the future. (E.G: Opting out and having your information deleted from Spokeo. Or deleting an old account you’ve associated with your real name).

318Find your Digital Footprint - Dossier:
319
320The reason to why we’re opting to use a dossier is because it’ll allow you to sort the information that you find on yourself. It's an easy-to-use format, too. This serves as your go-to document, which I recommend that you save in a .txt.
321
322We know many will not believe this to be useful. Many will say you can't stop the government or corporations from spying. But corporations or government aren't out to ruin your life or financial security. The people you have to worry about getting a hold of this information are civilians. They'll contact employers, family and friends all under the guise of social justice. With the right combination of information, they can guess passwords and security questions. They can even discover information you don’t have on the internet with the proper combo.
323
324The below contains some simplified descriptions of why each piece of information is useful.
325
326Name: Even if common, a person’s name (first and/or last) can help verify information. It can lead to more private information found through Google and other services.
327
328Age: Like their name, their age can confirm certain information.
329
330Birth date: Used to verify age and name, plus other information.
331
332Location: A general location, like a city or state, can help locate an address. It can confirm their identity on social networking sites and application sites (among others).
333
334Phone number: Verify name and location
335
336Home address: What else to say? The home address can usually turn up images and misc information through Google.
337
338Possible relations: Mother, father, brother, sister, boyfriend, girlfriend, friends…ETC. This can confirm other pieces of information.
339
340Usernames: Using the same username over and over again can create a trail. By leaving one and telling others where you’re going, you can create a trail, too.
341
342E-mail addresses: A key to tracking people down, the e-mail address leads to many things.
343
344Accounts: Links to accounts found on various websites, used to keep a list of where you’ve been.
345
346Websites: Most likely has information you don’t realize. Information can be found through a "whois" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHOIS) search
347
348Misc information: Miscellaneous pieces of information that may seem crucial or of interest. For example: Mac Address, IP address, IDs, SSN, birth certificates...ETC.
349
350Possible accounts: Similar username or other items that makes you believe an account's related.
351
352Images: Can verify accounts; find Exif data…ETC.
353
354
355Make two dossiers.
356
357One with the information you know and recall, then a second one with the information that you've found online through the use of this guide.
358
359Keep the two separate once done.
360
361Compare them only after you've read this guide fully.
362
363=========================================================================================================
364
365Find your Digital Footprint—Resources
366It’s important to keep track of the information found through the use of the provided dossier. We suggest that you also keep track of how each piece of information was found, as well as what led you to that discovery. This way you’ll be able to *provide us with more insight and knowledge on how to prevent information from leaking. You also will be able to help us figure out how to remove it.
367
368Remember, though, it isn’t who you are. It's who you used to be and what you’ve once said. This is what most people look for when they wish to dox someone. It's the key to ruining someone, no matter how liked they are online. Knowing what someone said or did in the past will help ruin their present self.
369
370Now, before you start, put yourself into the shoes of a stranger. You should think back to previous scenarios or cases where you’ve heard of doxing. The reason I ask this is simple: To see just how varied doxing can be and just how unethical it can get at times.
371
372Think of it like this: Someone you’ve argued with. Think of someone who wished nothing short of a pox upon your genitals or the death of your dog. This person has decided to track every piece of information possible on you that exist online.
373
374This hatred is what usually drives people onward toward their goal of doxing. They need to find information on someone and put them in their place. Or it’s because they believe it’s their moral right to track down those who wander away from the hive mind.
375
376Once you get into this frame of mind, don’t think of the information you know, but search for what you don't. Search for items posted in the present and past. You must find this information and use it. Add it to your dossier. You'll get a glimpse of what others see when they comb through your blog and internet past.

You could've even seen it on some social justice blogger's anti-bigotry how-to. But these links...? They're actually well known and have been the staple of a lot of lists and guides on how track a person or persons down.
499
500These links will help you find your own information and thus help you dox yourself.

521Find your Digital Footprint – Tactic
522
523When one looks for information online, there isn’t just a single way to go about it. It’s a mess of tactics, resources, and Googling until one’s fingers are raw from typing. Because of this, we’ve created a series of simple tactics for you to track down your information online. We also wish to show you how to counteract these tactics.
524
525We’re going to start with a simple tactic and lead onwards from there.
526
527==Applies to Tumblr only==
528
529> About me leads to about you:
530Simple and fast, always the first thing you should do.
531
532Look at the about me, see what information is there?
533
534A name?
535
536An age?
537
538What about nicknames, or links, or a list of tags or posts…?
539
540Whatever there is, it leads to valuable information that can pad out the dossier.
541
542Counteract: Never use your real name online, nicknames, or anything of value. This should apply to any and all accounts you own.
543
544
545> Tumblr cataloging:
546This is simple, in all actuality, as it only requires time and patience, and lots of reading.
547
548To start out, one goes to the target blog. Then you comb through the /archive/ link or by finding the last page of a blog. In theory, you need to find the oldest/first post made on the blog.
549
550From there, working your way up to most current, you go from page-to-page. You skim posts for key pieces of information that can be used to find information elsewhere or used in any Search Engine.
551
552Things you'll look for:
553• Exif data from images
554• Linked image albums
555• Alternate blog or account links
556• E-mail addresses
557• Wish lists
558• Personal rants
559• Family or pet names
560• Real life locations or school names
561
562The older the blog, the more likely there are pieces of information used to find their accounts elsewhere online.
563
564Counteract: Simply put—don’t be ignorant or rash. Think, watch what you post, don’t leak real world information, save images as PNG and always scrub the Exif data.
565
566Be careful and post smart.
567
568
569> Tag hunt:
570The trend of having to tag every post caused people to be obsessive with certain tags.
571
572To profit from this, one has to check for a “Tag list,” or commonly used tags like “My face” or “Me”. Depending on whether Tumblr pulled an Imgur and removes Exif data, images can lead to real world information. Certain tags can end up leading to accounts and personal information. These can accounts are found through simple reverse image searches.
573
574Counteract: Post smart, save images as PNG and always scrub Exif data. Be general and misleading about thing in reality (when discussing online). Swap real names for generic names or handles—High school is now your High school, not Mt. Rush High.
575
576
577> Tag search:
578Search the blog’s username and/or title on Tumblr search and Tumblr’s tag search. You can also search previous or past usernames/titles.
579
580You can find a lot out on a blogger and who they hang out with by searching them on Tumblr. If they have a previous blog name/title, it can be found by using the “Tumblr cataloging” tactic. 
581
582Example: 
5831. Party H re-blogged and responded to Party B.
5842. The post Party B re-blogged was from Party A. The post from Party A is on Party H’s blog.
5853. Party H is the “Source,” but older posts show it re-blogged from Party A.
5864. This means Party H and Party A was one in the same and Party H changed the name/title.
587
588Searching their previous names/titles on Tumblr can and will usually lead to excellent information. Remember though, you’ll need patience and to take some time going through these tags.
589
590Counteract: Don’t change your title/name, or do so often.
591
592
593> Statcounter surfing:
594Use a publicly displayed counter or your own to track someone’s IP down and blog(s).
595
596To do this: Check for a Statcounter or tracker made public, or use your own and bait the target. Now look at what information is displayed and/or look for /blog/username links. Use these to find meta data like: 
597• Blogs
598• IP address
599• General location (ISP or host’s location)
600• Referral information
601
602Counteract:  Many add-ons help prevent this, like Umatrix or Ublock Origin. Always use one or more of these add-ons.
603
604You’ve done all that you’ve could on Tumblr; you’ve gotten some information… now what?
605
606Well, it’s time to breakout Google or some other search engine. Now start using various combinations of the information that you’ve found.
607
608
609
610==General information and searching==
611
612> Username searching:
613Search the Username using a search engine or one of several username check websites.
614
615Just find any and all accounts with a similar username. You then check its information against that in the dossier. 
616
617Counteract: Never use the same username twice. Always change it, no matter what. Never share your accounts with anyone or announce your accounts elsewhere. Never inter-link accounts.
618
619
620> E-mail address surfing:
621 Using any number of websites or search engines, one can enter an email address to lookup. Using its variations (@gmail, hotmail, yahoo…ETC) you can find miscellaneous accounts. This can also lead to information and possible dead-accounts or addresses.
622
623You could use an address and resurrect it anew to claim accounts to learn information like passwords.
624
625Counteract: Use a different E-mail address for each account. Having a “Main” that acts as the secondary account for the others one. Don’t display your E-mail. Never give it out, or at least use a secondary-secondary as a fake for public display.
626
627
628> Account hopping:
629The older an account, the more likely it will link to another account somewhere else.
630
631Like a few of the Tumblr tactics, one just has to search tags, keywords, and comb through the accounts. Usually it’s a comment or even a keyword itself. Better success on Wordpress or Blogger accounts, also in descriptions on profiles.
632
633Counteract: Always wait a month before deleting an account. Remove any and all posts, texts, and information. Before deleting the text or posts, first fill them with random characters/text. This is to force a new cache from various search engine and services. This should render previous ones inaccessible and only leave traces of nothing.
634
635Example: Instead of a lengthy diatribe against your old SO, it’s sldknlskndlfkndlkslfksldkfndslksdnflksklnfdslkfsdnklds). Also, for images or videos, upload blank images or static filled videos.
636
637
638> Photobucket jumping:
639Just searching usernames against account links like ‘photobucket.com/user/-username-‘ or ‘photobucket.com/profile/-username-‘ to find an account.
640
641Once an account is discovered, people can search parts or the whole URL of any direct image link. This allows people to find where you’ve posted your images and thus your accounts.
642
643Counteract: Delete your images and photobucket account. Don’t put a password on it and don’t let it idle…it’ll lasts forever.
644
645
646> CTRL + U sourcing it:
647
648Check custom layouts on various blogging platforms for websites and links.
649
650Various sites allow individuals to add their own custom flair to things.  For example a layout and separate page designs. You can find links to storage accounts or image upload services by checking the source. This usually leads to photobucket accounts, imageshack accounts or personal servers. It could also expose a cloud storage account that can be searched or forced into exposing more information.
651
652Counteract: Use the month rule and random text/character trick before deletion. You should also name all images randomly instead of using actual words. Don’t put anything in obvious order.
653
654Note on passwords:  8 to 12 characters long with random letters, numbers and characters. 
655
656
657> Forum scouting:
658Found an account on a forum; search the forum for more information.
659
660Most forums have a search function that allows you to search a username plus keywords. It’s simple and quick.
661
662Search specific things like:
663• Social network names
664• Usernames
665• E-mails
666• General keywords (example: email, account, art, location, school)
667
668Double check posts for signatures or avatars that can be traced back to other accounts.
669
670If that isn’t possible, then check the user’s profile for a post counter that may or may not be clickable. This will usually lead to all their posts.
671
672Counteract: One month wait before delete plus random characters. Also request the owner/mods/staff to delete account and all posts.
673
674
675> Gaia Whoring:
676Go to their forums and search them, or profiles for similar usernames and information. Check against a search engine with things like “Username,” “Gaia,” “E-mail” and whatever else.
677
678This usually leads to various forums and other accounts.
679
680This tactic can also be applied to Neopets, among other sites.
681
682Counteract: Follow the deletion trick of random characters…Etc. Don’t giveaway your items. Don’t donate your gold or cash. Just delete everything within the month rule.
683
684
685> Face snipping:
686Find a picture of someone online. Crop out everything but their face. Using the (cropped) image of just their face and/or head, go to Tineye and see if you can find results. Usually you’ll be able to find accounts. You can find account belonging to friends and relatives. You may also find a school websites or similar item where your target is photographed.
687
688Counteract: Never post your image online, ever. Also scrub exif data.
689
690
691These tactics are but a sampling of what many people do on a daily basis to find the information of others. We just list the most common and easiest to do for you to help you find your online footprint.
692

694
695Find your Digital Foot print--Things you should know and do
696This chapter is dedicated to providing you with various steps that you can take to prevent cross-referencing through multiple accounts. A single piece of information posted in one location can be used against you and lead to another account. If not taken into careful consideration, something as simple as your first name could lead to your inevitable doxing.
697
698Imagine, if you will, that you have an account on a site about model trains. You signed up with your first name and used your old AOL e-mail address. Someone looking for you discovers you like trains; however all they have on you is an old username. They search this username, which is used in your old AOL e-mail address. They discover your model train account and first name. Search with various variations of your e-mail address and name, they discover a newsletter of your town’s local hobby shop and model train group.
699
700They now know your full name, your hobby group, your old e-mail address and several other pieces of information that, when combined, lead to your home address.
701
702Congratulations, you’ve been doxed.
703
704
705When leaving an account:
706o When leaving, don’t announce it.
707o Tell no one that you’re deleting your account.
708o Delete your account only after a month of inactivity. And delete it only after switching it to a *‘Dead E-mail address’.
709• Note: An e-mail address used to take ownership of an account that you’re deleting/deactivating.
710
711
712Steps to take before deleting an account:
713o Before deleting anything, wait a month.
714o Anything you can edit, do so with random characters and text.
715o Image should be replaced with a blank temp image (pure color image).
716o Once a month is over, you can delete that account.
717o But before doing so, delete the account’s items one by one.
718o If you can’t delete something, ask the staff/owner/webmaster/mods to delete it for you.
719o Stating that someone is stalking you is usually enough to remove the information.
720o If they won’t remove, try to edit it once again with random text.
721o If you can’t edit it, ignore it.
722o If it’s a blog, change titles and/or usernames.
723o Preserve the original URL or username on a blank blog.
724o Never leave your old username or URL up for grabs.
725
726
727On removing an old E-mail address:
728o Never delete an e-mail address, simply switch accounts and other items accordingly.
729o Mark everything else in it as spam, but only if you can’t unsubscribe.
730o Log into it at least once a month to prevent deletion.
731o You can, most likely, delete it, after not using it, around a year or two later.
732o Always make sure the e-mail is no longer tied to any accounts or personal information. 
733o Always wipe it out like any other account by changing as much as possible to randomized text.
734
735

777
778
779On behavior:
780o You’ll most likely have to change the way you behave online.
781o Sharing interests is fine, but getting too obsessed is bad.
782o Never admit to liking any specific thing
783o This can help people tie other accounts to you.
784o Admitting to things, like, your favorite food can be used to trace too.
785o In general, you need to keep yourself and your information limited when on the Internet.
786o Instead of admitting to liking a song, just say you like the band.
787o This applies specific bands in a genre.
788o Or any form of entertainment that you specifically like.

842
843The Paranoid’s Rules
844The below is a mix of “common sense” rules that don’t have any real place in the above chapters, yet have proven to be somewhat useful.
8451. Don't ever use your real name online
8462. DO NOT EVER POST YOUR REAL NAME ONLINE
8473. Never use the same username, ever, anywhere online
8484. Never interlink or make mention of your accounts anywhere online
8495. Always use a different e-mail for each account, never mention them online
8506. Always use a 10 to 15 character length password
8517. Always use a mix of random characters 
8528. Always change your passwords, if you've logged in recently, at least weekly
8539. Never post your IRL location online (state, city…etc)
85410. Never post your IRL address online
85511. Never give out your phone number, ever
85612. Never give out your cell phone number, ever
85713. Never post your photos online, ever
85814. If you break #13, at least scrub as much Meta-data as possible from your images
85915. Never post anything that you, yourself, haven't gotten over
86016. If data exists, you are at risk
86117. Anonymity is your greatest offense, defense, weapon and friend--don't lose it
86218. Never post your e-mail addresses anywhere online
86319. You are nothing more than another random user online. Disregard everything that makes you an individual.
86420. Choose your battles carefully. There may not be many geniuses out there, but there are plenty of smart idiots.
86521. Avoid Social Networks and media
86622. If you break #21, remember the previous 20 rules
86723. Don't sexualize the Miku
86824. Disregard #23; never sexualize anything, ever, you perverts
86925. Getting involved in anything pornographic or erotic will lead to your doxing, eventually
87026. E-drama isn't drama; it's a temporary temper tantrum
87127. Disregard E-celebs, get a personality
87228. Don’t drink and surf, or blog, or post, or anything, ever
87329. /b/ may be the asshole of the Internet, but Tumblr is the cancer of everything good in the world
87430. Doxing and Tumblr go hand in hand, avoid Tumblr
87531. Internet dating is a scam, go buy something from Bad Dragon
87632. Seriously, don’t E-date, you nerd
87733. A fetish is a disorder, and the word misused
87834. @#33, a kink is what you have, not a fetish
87935. @#34, preferences can be both kinks and/or a fetish
88036. @#35, if you can’t get off without something specific or it interferes with your life—it’s a fetish
88137. @#36, if you have trouble telling the difference between a fetish, a kink, or a preference—seek professional help
88238. Children are smart idiots; don’t let children have their own computers
88339. If you ignore rule #38, don’t let them have an active Internet connection
88440. In regards to #39, don’t let them have a device with WiFi capabilities
88541. Never share an account, ever, with anyone
88642. Always logout of an account, if you get up for any extended period of time
88743. ALWAYS LOGOUT OF YOUR ACCOUNTS, EVEN IF YOU AREN’T ON A SHARED COMPUTER
88844. SERIOUSLY, ALWAYS LOGOUT OF YOUR ACCOUNTS, ESPECIALLY ON A SHARED COMPUTER
88945. NEVER LOG INTO AN ACCOUNT IF THE DEVICE YOU’RE USING ISN’T YOURS
89046. Don’t bank online, or use your cell phone, or a borrowed device—bank IRL
89147. It’s FREEDOM OF SPEECH not FREEDOM OF HARASSMENT—you can use FoS to call out harassment and stupidity, though
89248. If you feel threatened, harassed, or don’t want contact—TELL THEM TO LEAVE YOU ALONE
89349. @#48, learn to use the block tools and learn to never put trust in anyone or an account
89450. @#49, sometimes it’s best to pick up and move to another account to avoid trouble and harassment
89551. @#50, it’s the Internet… turn it off and you end trolling and e-bullying
89652. Harassment has to mean they threatened you or you told them to leave you alone. It doesn’t mean you felt uncomfortable because of them saying or doing something
89753. @#51, learn to move on and ignore, if not: You deserved it
89854. The Government may not be your friend, but an individual can
89955. @#54, don’t be rude to police, doctors, nurses, military personnel, politicians or anyone, ever
90056. @#55, unless they did something illegal or dangerous, then remain on the fence and review all the facts.
90157. @#56, always make an educated and well researched decision. Never trust a single source. Sources that contradict or are against each other provide a lot of insight and information one or the other didn’t show
90258. Men and Women are corruptible, as are you. Learn what you say and do affects others too, besides yourself
90359. Most political movements or (sic) groups aren’t about freedom or (sic)’s agency. Many are for the subjugation of society in the name of equal outcome. Even if it means shared adversity and ignorance
90460. They may be men or women of the badge, cloth or science but they are still men and woman
90561. Trust but verify
90662. Don’t just listen and believe
90763. Intelligence doesn’t equate wisdom
90864. And wisdom doesn’t equate intelligence
90965. An education doesn’t guarantee experience or knowledge
91066. A degree and/or diploma is just a piece of paper
91167. Everyone does something for a reason, even if they’re unaware of it
91268. @#67, there are no Jokers or Banes
91369. @#68, the world burning is hardly ever funny to a man who proclaims it to be
91470. Always unplug your modem and/or router
91571. @#70, always do so when not in use
91672. @#71, or when you plan to turn off your computer
91773. @#72, just unplug it if you don’t actively need it
91874. WiFi is bad, don’t use wireless Internet
91975. @#74, if you do, don’t log into anything important lest you risk getting your accounts being hijacked
92076. It’s the Internet, not a social meet and greet, stop seeking attention.
92177. If you claim to be anything but human on the Internet, expect to be harassed, rightfully so
92278. You lie to the Internet and it’ll learn the truth sooner than later
92379. The Internet is compromised of mostly normal people who wish to appear to be quirky or unique
92480. If you’ve time to complain about your physical appearance or lack thereof… you’ve time to improve yourself
92581. Everything is opened to critique if posted online
92682. @#81, but learn to critique is to open yourself up to criticism
92783. @#82, but to critique someone for critiquing shouldn’t be used as an excuse to silence criticism
92884. @#83, though it is better to be a creator than a user
92985. @#83, but it doesn’t mean that a user’s criticism isn’t valid
93086. @#85, sometimes the customer sees and tastes things the chef does not
93187. A username adds weight to your opinions
93288. @#87, being anonymous does not
93389. @#88, but having a username makes you easier to attack and destroy
93490. AVOID USING CAPS ALL THE TIME
93591. @#90, basic grammar, spelling and punctuation are your best bet
93692. @#91, but avoid using overly complicated words
93793. @#92, and avoid being wordy
93894. @#93, and avoid using memes, slang or shortened words or phrases
93995. Memes are inside jokes exploited and taken from one source and posted to another source
94096. @#95, avoid using memes
94197. @#96, avoid memes at all cost
94298. Simple, blunt and to the point when trying to relay any thought is usually better than a long winded and wordy rant
94399. It’s the Internet, not school
944100. @#99, It doesn’t mean be an imbecile and forgo all common sense for acceptance
945101. Don’t click on unfamiliar links
946102. @#101, avoid shortened links
947103. @#102, avoid links hidden behind a link shortener service
948104. @#103, don’t click on links from strangers
949105. @#104, avoid links from people you don’t trust
950106. @#105, avoid links in general unless you know exactly what you’re clicking on

954Opt-out Master-list
955
956The purpose of this chapter is to provide you with an up-to-date listing of any and all opt-outs. This means you’ll be able to opt-out of not only known data brokers but several unknown brokers. You'll even cut down on physical mail and e-mail.
957
958Many feel this isn’t needed as you have to provide information to remove information, but this is what’s needed. Not just by the law but also for business records. Opt-outs are just you acknowledging a contract made without your knowledge.
959
960Instead of ignoring them, you’re stating you don’t want them using or selling your information. It not only helps reduce your online footprint but also helps you cut back on carbon emissions. You also cut back on your exposure online.
961
962For now, we've only include the online opt-outs in this PDF. We suggest you finish those and those alone as most of them are interlinked to many of the phone and fax opt-outs. Once you finished those you should wait a month or two before doing other opt-outs. A lot of information will be expunged as you opted out of one or two other sites.
963
964Online Opt-outs:
965These are opt-outs that can be done online through forms or simple links without a pay wall.

1605What to do if doxed
1606This chapter is to help people learn how to react to not only being doxed but harassed through phone or mail.
1607
1608Before we begin, I must note that we’ll forego chapters and mini-sections. There isn’t all that much to say or suggest that isn’t covered by the other testaments and this PDF already. So think of this as nothing more than a simple refresher course or a go-to quick guide.
1609
1610First:
1611If you’re ever doxed, and you’ve never bothered keeping private, you need to learn not to react. Don’t react, ever. Don’t acknowledge it. Don’t taunt. Don’t say they have the wrong information.
1612
1613DO NOT DO ANYTHING!
1614
1615You let them know it’s bothering you and the further they’ll press to get a greater reaction out of you.
1616
1617You just need to take things slow, and if it’s a forum or website try reporting the post and account. But, remember, only do this after you’ve assessed the situation.
1618
1619Also, remember: Even if the information is wrong, don’t react. It could be an attempt at baiting you into providing your real information.
1620
1621
1622Second:
1623Blur out your house on Google, Bing and Yahoo maps.
1624
1625The instructions are below:
1626
1627For Bing:
16281. https://www.bing.com/maps/ 
16292. Type home address
16303. Get to street view
16314. Center squarely on house
16325. Look for (?) question mark near bottom right. Be careful as it can be hidden sometimes.
16336. Click it
16347. Select "Report an image concern"
16358. You'll get a pop-up or new tab with a panoramic image
16369. Select your house, a little red square will appear then
163710. Voice your privacy concern. Stating vandalism and potential break-ins by criminal elements.
163811. Fill out the rest of the form + Capatcha, wait
163912. Save ticket (#) Number
1640
1641For Google:
16421. Go to Google Maps and type in your address
16432. Bring up the street view of your property
16443. Look to the bottom right hand corner of the screen you should see an Icon Labeled: “report a problem.”
16454. Click on “report a problem.”
16465. You will get a page labeled “report inappropriate street view.”
16476. Look for the words “Privacy Concerns” and click on them.
16487. If you want your house blurred, click on “my house.” Then choose the option: “I have a picture of my house and would like it blurred.”
16498. Adjust the image and show Google which part of the photo needs blurred.
16509. Type the verification code at the bottom of the page into the box provided and click submit.
165110. Check back in a few days to see if the image has been blurred.
1652
1653For Yahoo: Special thanks to /r/n0esc from Reddit!
16541. Visit https://www.Yahoo.com/maps 
16552. Drag the gray icon that resembles a person (top-right) to your street. (If it won’t drag, then your street has not been photographed for Yahoo.)
16563. Click on “report image” at the bottom-left of the screen. It will take you to a different website.
16574. Click on “request blurring,” and follow the directions.
1658
1659Third:
1660Change your phones’ voice messages to the default robotic one. This is to prevent people from confirming and verifying your number as being related to you. This also hinders people and will push some off of harassing you.
1661
1662Fourth:
1663Never answer the phone for anyone you don’t recognize. Names and phone numbers should always be scrutinized before picking up and answering. If it’s important, they’ll leave a voicemail. Yes, some people will leave harassing messages, too. If you don’t respond or make mention of these messages, no one will known. This will prevent people from getting the satisfaction of knowing they’re getting to you.
1664
1665Fifth:
1666If you’ve the money and time, change your phone number to a new, private and unlisted one.
1667
1668Sixth:
1669Get your mail ASAP. The longer you leave your mail in the mailbox, the sooner someone may snap it up for nefarious means. Always get your mail.
1670
1671Seventh:
1672Don’t open letters or packages you don’t recognize. If you didn’t order or request something in the mail, don’t risk it. If you suspect something, open all packages and letters over a plastic container large enough to house the item you suspect. While wearing gloves, eye protection and a face mask, ensure the item is being openly as carefully as possible. Record and save everything in case of issue.
1673
1674Eight:
1675Look over this PDF, as it provides pertinent information on how to remove your data footprint.
1676
1677Finally, get off the blogs and stop saying things online. It’s better to lurk and learn instead of interacting and putting yourself into danger.
1678
1679=========================================================================================================
1680
1681Afterword
1682
1683And so ends the Paranoid’s Bible.
1684
1685No matter what you do, as long as you read this and the other PDFs/guides in the “Blue primer” you should be fine from citizens. You won’t be able to outsmart the government and your more tech savvy corporations. This guide and the ones found in the blue primer are meant to help you prevent spying from the average internet user—to prevent dox.
1686
1687We’ll make more PDFs/guides that’ll help you lessen even more of your data footprint and lower your chances of being spied on, however, for now… worry about the citizenry hunting you down like it’s the Salem Witch trials all over again.

1691Questions and Answers
1692
1693Q: Couldn’t Pedophiles use this to hide?
1694A: Pedophiles already use similar tools and actions to hide themselves and their information. We’re simply trying to provide you with the same advantage.
1695
1696Q:  Can’t Racists, sexists and other bigots use this?
1697A: Yes, they can. Why not you?
1698
1699Q: Won’t this allow people to dox others?
1700A: And…? This information is commonly shared, constantly. We simply scraped the Internet and all it holds to provide you with this information in one place. If you’re so worried, share and distribute this guide and its supplementary guides. People can remove their “dox” and avoid any issues.
1701
1702Q: But isn’t transparency key to a happy society? Isn’t this hypocritical?
1703A: Don’t use this guide then. You’re not the government, are you? Why would you worry about transparency? You’re a citizen. You should worry about privacy and security while pressuring the government to be transparent.
1704
1705Q: What’s the worst that can happen, food being sent your house?
1706A: Sexual aides; Mormon or Muslim missionaries; magazine subscription; identity theft; someone being unstable enough to escalate it into physical harm; Tumblr; Feminists; past abusers; NSA; FBI; Swatting; Scientologists; Surprise Furry…ETC
1707
1708Q:  Will you ever make a guide for UNIX or Linux or whatever it’s called?
1709A: Most of us have lives, jobs, studies or other personal responsibilities. We’ll try to get to it when we can.
1710
1711Q: This guide is to US-centric!
1712A: This guide was made with US citizens in mind. Most of its information can be applied to citizens of non-US countries. We’ll work on other similar PB’s when we have the time, research and material.
1713
1714Q: I knew this already!
1715A: And others didn’t.
1716
1717Q: Why not sell this information?
1718A: We are giving it away, for free, because it’s just a repository of information readily available online. It isn’t 100% our work or knowledge. Why make money off of someone else’s work?
1719
1720Q: How updated will this be?
1721A: As much as possible for us.
1722
1723Q: Can I contribute information?
1724A: Sure! Just let us know what you wish to contribute, what pseudo-name you wish to go by in the “Contribution” page, and give us as much information and research (links…etc) as possible to backup what you wish to provide.

1726Q: I have found some opt-outs; can I share them with you?
1727A: Yes! We’d appreciate any information you can provide about opt-outs we missed or new sites to opt-out of. The more opt-outs provided the less information online.
1728
1729Q: Couldn’t terrorists use this to hide their plans?
1730A: They already do, why not have the information for yourself too?
1731
1732Q: I’m with the government and—
1733A: Provide a time stamped and dated image with today’s news paper, proof of position, and a homemade ham sandwich.
1734
1735Q: As a part of Gamergate, I wish to say tha—
1736A: You’re welcome, but this applies to any and all groups online…even if Ghazi or a Literal Who uses it to remove their information.
1737
1738Q: What about a testament (supplementary guide) about paranormal defense?
1739A: Provide us with proof of the paranormal and the head of a cryptid and we’ll consider it.
1740
1741Q: What about a testament (supplementary guide) on proper disposal of religious objects?
1742A: Too varied and too complicated at times. Maybe one concerning a common religion like Christianity and its sects?
1743
1744Q: A guide to dumpster diving?
1745A: Couldn’t hurt, we’ll see.
1746
1747Q: The Paranoid’s bible is too complicated!
1748A: We’re working on refining it.
1749
1750Q: Wouldn’t opting out of sites and databases provide them information?
1751A: Most likely they already have your information. Think of opting out of these places as acknowledging a contract they have with you already. You’re simply taking advantage of it and stating “Well, alright, but remove my information now.” That’s all opting out does—you acknowledging they have your information and you wanting it removed or withheld from the Internet and prying eyes.
1752
1753Q: I think this information is very limited and laughable.
1754A: We’re doing the best we can with our extremely tight schedules. You can provide more information and address where something went wrong.
1755
1756Q: I’ve witnessed a spelling error or improper grammar.
1757A: Oh dear lord, please tell us where! We’ll fix it ASAP!
1758
1759Q: A link is dead!
1760A: What is the link? Do you know of a secondary source to replace it or if it’s a simple error like a missing character? What about an archive to replace it with?
1761
1762Q: Why are you so paranoid?
1763A: Why aren’t you?
1764
1765Q: Could this be applied to active military personnel or people working the law force or in the government?
1766A: Yes, but realize that the government offers the above individuals, sometimes, special steps and programs that they can take or participate in to help further remove their information from the Internet. Please consult your Human Resources department or ask someone above you about what you can do. Possibly it was already addressed VIA a memo or manual. Some sites, though, offer an easier route to take to expunge your information for simply being related to someone who’s classed as a law officer, military personnel or a government employee.
1767
1768Q: Isn’t this information illegal?
1769A: Truthfully, at the most, it’s a legal grey area.
1770
1771Q: Can’t people use this information for illegal purposes?
1772A: It’s all up the reader, we just made it available.
1773
1774Q: What prevents them from not following through with the requested opt-out?
1775A: Various DPPA and GLBA laws, besides several other items.
1776
1777Q: Won’t this prevent background checks and limit your job possibilities?
1778A: No. It will not. This simply scrubs the information and hides it from the public’s eyes. Many background checks demand you sign a release per FCRA guidelines. No one can legally run an investigative search on you without your express permission. You also will have to realize that all legitimate, legal background checks (for hiring purposes) are not only paid for but go through the proper government channels, not some data miner’s site.
