Most of the software developers are holding logs or are distributing because you use their tools. People made (most of the time open-source) software to keep you anonymous because privacy is a right and is very important. We are going to have it about the tools and software that are avaible for Windows and Linux. We are going to introduce you the most known or best tools to use, we are going also to give examples that are good and bad so you can learn from it for the next time, also to note all software that is provided in the tutorial is free to use.

Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer network consisting of more than four thousand relays to conceal a users location or usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult to trace Internet activity, including visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms, back to the user and is intended to protect the personal privacy of users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential business by keeping their internet activities from being monitored. Disk Encryption - TrueCrypt Official website: truecrypt.org/ TrueCrypt is a source-available freeware application used for on-the- fly encryption (OTFE). It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file or encrypt a partition or (under Microsoft Windows except Windows 2000 and Windows 8 with GPT) the entire storage device (pre-boot authentication). This means you can crypt your hard-disk so nobody else can check out wich files you got on your hard-disk. Finance (payment processors) - Bitcoin & Litecoin Official website(s): Bitcoin (https:// bitcoin.org/ ) || Litecoin ( https:// litecoin.org/ ) BTC Description: P2P digital currency with no central authority. LTC Description: A peer-to-peer cryptocurrency and open source software project released under the MIT/X11 license. Inspired by and technically nearly identical to Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin creation and transfer is based on an open source protocol and is not managed by any central authority. Litecoin is intended by its developers to improve upon Bitcoin and offers three key differences. Chatting - Pidgin Official SIte: pidgin.im/ Free anonymous, universal instant messaging client that supports the following protocols IRC, XMPP, SIP and OTR.
