One of the main reasons why OnionOS is so little know is because it is not available for download on any website, the author (nicknamed Jamon I believe) though that it would be a good to distribute it via the tor network only.
I am mirroring OnionOS here as it is very slow to download data over tor proxies. This small operating system is only 20MB and with it you will be able to browse the internet and chat anonymously through the tor network, data transfer will be slow, but your privacy will be well protected and because OnionOS embraces a minimalistic approach based on a text based browser and IRC it means things download quicker than they would do on a full graphical desktop OS, you may need some very basic understanding of the links browser, here goes some screenshots of OnionOS.

OnionOS Anonymous live CD

Webpage of the onionCore index

Browsing the internet with tor
-
-
Onion OS Anonymou slive
Download OnionOS clicking here(20MB)
TIPS:
- If you get lost on the main interface type ls
- Type /join #welcome in the chat program to join room #welcome (you can also try #tor and #onion)
- Type web as soon as you start OnionOS to get to the onioncore index, click the key ESC to get the menu on the links browser.
- The tor network is slow be prepared to be patient, this is the price to pay for a free internet without censorship and fear, be also prepared to find distasteful ideas and opinions.
- You can also access hidden websites in tor these websites have the extension .onion and are not available from any browser unless you are using tor. For example to publish anonymous on a board you can use the onion URL http://ms4kc75hlvnfcxgz.onion/ Now go to http://torproxy.net and enter the address above, torproxy.net is a web based service that will allow access to some .onion websites, hopefully you get an idea of how it works.
The Onion address for OnionOS is: http://eqt5g4fuenphqinx.onion/os (Only accessible through tor!)
I hope this small introduction to anonymous internet browsing and publishing will help you understand some little basics of this wide field, there are also hidden email and hidden jabber services available in tor and if this network of anonymous proxies manages to get enough volunteers running tor proxies to speed up the downloading, its success in the freedom of speech field is near guaranteed.

If you try and open a second account with paypal when linking your bank account with them you will be stopped and the following message will come up:
Link and confirm your bank account, or your debit or credit card
That bank account is already assigned to another PayPal account. For security purposes, each bank account may only be assigned to one PayPal account. Please use a different bank account.

I recently found that the forensics software Encase has a security vulnerability, it is possible to make it crash while opening a file.
The file contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped, which again contains 16 zipped files, which contain 1 file, with the size of 4.3GB.
So, if you extract all files, you will most likely run out of space 
16 x 4294967295 = 68.719.476.720 (68GB)
16 x 68719476720 = 1.099.511.627.520 (1TB)
16 x 1099511627520 = 17.592.186.040.320 (17TB)
16 x 17592186040320 = 281.474.976.645.120 (281TB)
16 x 281474976645120 = 4.503.599.626.321.920 (4,5PB)
But the file I provide has been modified so that its digital signature will not be detected, I modified its digital signature by adding a harmless and legal pic of a bikini inside the zip I also changed its name.
Be warned that law enforcement agencies also use Encase as a standard so if your computer is ever seized WARN THEM that you have it, you could even be accused of obstruction to justice if you don’t.

I was looking at http://www.findnot.com its service looked good at first sight, lots of clear information, various proxy servers in many countries available, prices industry average and my favourite part was their new multiplatform OpenVPN service, most other privacy service I have come accross do not support Unix, SurfSolo from Securstar for example has emailed me today saying that their product is only Windows.
Anyways, I emailed Findnot support service asking for the free trial they advertise so I could try if OpenVPN works in my Unix workstation, up to this date they have not replied and I do not expect them to do so.
Now I am looking at Findnot forums and they arent viewable unless you are registered, which I am willing to do but oh surprise, “The Administrator has turned off Registration for this forum”.

This has been tested today, 7th June 2008, and have into account that with the time Paypal and banks do change their rules.
1- Last week on Sunday I opened a Paypal account using an anonymous proxy from the US (I live in Europe).
2- I bought something from a shop that only accepts Paypal as a payment method.
3- Link redirects me to my Paypal account which will check my IP geolocation (the US proxy I was using) and then I use a virtual credit card fill in some fake details, I Google for a US real address and location and I find that certain famous hotel in Orlando lists their postcode and phone number on the page, I fill that in together with a Joe Doe as a name.
4- Paypal blocks the payment until I have verified my credit card, they charge me €1.50 on the virtual credit card and add a four digit code on the statement for verification purposes.
5- I check my virtual credit card statement online the same day, it will take four days to see the code.
6-Today I see the four digit code 8373, I verify my virtual credit card with Paypal making sure I am using the US proxy accessing the account, and I succesfully make the payment. Now the shop from which I am buying will see Joe Doe as the persorn making the payment, and if Paypal gets hacked they have a virtual credit card with only $5 left.
Lessons learned:
FOR PAYPAL NEVER USE A VIRTUAL CREDIT CARD THAT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHECK THE STATEMENT OF THE CHARGES ONLINE.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE ADDRESS YOU ENTER IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT IS VALID. SPECIALLY THE POSTCODE, THEY WILL CHECK IT.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN IN YOUR FAKE PAYPAL ACCOUNT CORRESPONDS TO THE PROXY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN YOU ARE USING.

I was lucky enough to get an invite for TinEye http://tineye.com/ and I have been playing with this beta searcher for a few days, so far the results have been really amazing. You upload an image to Tineye and it will find you the same image on the internet, you can even upload a modified image cropped or with some Photoshop filter and it will still find you the webpage with original image on it.
What has all this to do with privacy? I just uploaded someone’s personal avatar and it found all the forums where that avatar has been used, their possibilites to do deep research on images are great.

Some Linux distros include tor and Privoxy, but how do you start them exactly?
You have to execute in the commnd line ‘tor’ & ‘privoxy’ and then to configure your browser to use the proxy: “localhost:8118″

Nimblex is a Linux distribution that let’s you create your own customized OS where you can choose what applications to include, so far so good, there are many other Linux distros in which you can do this as well, what makes Nimblex stand out of the crowd is that you can do it via web interface making the whole process really easy and certainly reccomended for newbies.

remailers
It does not seem documented what remailers will support the from address, you are reccomended to use metacolo, borked and frell. Together with the last remailer in the chain.
Remailer documentation warns that not all of them will support this property but it does not specify which ones will work with it.
