1
00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:06,510
Previously we learned how to install and use data or browser and in the previous lecture I showed you

2
00:00:06,510 --> 00:00:08,580
how to use it with tails.

3
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:14,520
Now this will be the browser that will use most of the time to protect our anonymity and privacy and

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:19,070
to access the hidden services or the darknet web.

5
00:00:19,140 --> 00:00:25,380
In this lecture though I want to show you another browser that comes with tails which is the insecure

6
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,380
or unsafe browser.

7
00:00:28,490 --> 00:00:33,490
Now you might think why would they want to use an insecure or unsafe browser.

8
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:41,280
See as we mentioned before unlike install and deter browser on other operating systems such as Windows

9
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:48,200
OS X or Linux where only traffic going through the Tor browser will go through the Tor network and all

10
00:00:48,230 --> 00:00:53,170
other traffic will literally go directly to the Internet on tails.

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,500
All traffic is forced to go through the Tor network.

12
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:04,610
So regardless of what application generates this traffic even if it's a system update even if it's some

13
00:01:04,610 --> 00:01:12,380
malware that got downloaded and got executed on your system it will always be forced to go through the

14
00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:13,500
Tor network.

15
00:01:13,610 --> 00:01:17,010
Now like we said this is great because it prevents leaks.

16
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:23,480
It improves our security and anonymity because no other programs can access the Internet directly.

17
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,660
Therefore all of our connections are always going through to our network.

18
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,220
So this is really really good and an amazing feature of tales.

19
00:01:33,230 --> 00:01:41,000
The only problem is sometimes you actually need to access the Internet directly or you need a browser

20
00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:44,090
that will not use data or network.

21
00:01:44,090 --> 00:01:50,750
For example if you're trying to connect to a captive portal what I mean by a captive foretell is a network

22
00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:57,500
similar to the networks you see in airports universities or coffee shops where once you connect you

23
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:00,160
have to log in or you have to authenticate.

24
00:02:00,230 --> 00:02:04,460
Now usually the authentication is done using a web browser.

25
00:02:04,460 --> 00:02:11,240
Any web browser will work but the Tor browser will not work because as we know Tor browser will arrived

26
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:19,750
traffic through the Tor network and therefore you want be able to authenticate with the local network.

27
00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:25,810
Now if you were running the Tor browser from a normal operating system like Linux Windows or OS X the

28
00:02:25,810 --> 00:02:27,380
solution to this is easy.

29
00:02:27,460 --> 00:02:33,340
You just go to one of your other browsers and like I said these will be access and the Internet directly.

30
00:02:33,340 --> 00:02:35,170
So that will be fine.

31
00:02:35,170 --> 00:02:41,030
The problem is as we mentioned Intel's everything is forced to go through the Tor network.

32
00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:46,510
So even if you had another web browser it will be forced to go through the Tor network and therefore

33
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,350
you still won't be able to authenticate with these networks.

34
00:02:50,350 --> 00:02:57,550
Therefore for this reason and for any other cases where you would actually need to access the Internet

35
00:02:57,550 --> 00:03:01,410
directly tells comes with another web browser.

36
00:03:01,510 --> 00:03:09,100
It's actually called the unsafe browser because this is the only application on the operating system

37
00:03:09,340 --> 00:03:18,000
that can make direct connection to the Internet outside of the Tor network so you want to be very very

38
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,400
careful when you're using this and you want to make sure that you know what you're doing because it

39
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,070
is not using detailed network.

40
00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:31,680
It's going to be accessing the Internet directly revealing your location your IP and so on.

41
00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:42,490
So right here unpack a tails and if I go to my Wi-Fi networks and look for a Wi-Fi network you can see

42
00:03:42,490 --> 00:03:45,590
that there is a Starbucks Wi-Fi around me.

43
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:51,680
So this is a coffee shop network and this is an example of a network that uses a captive portal.

44
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:58,810
Like I said these networks are commonly used in coffee shops colleges hotels or airports.

45
00:03:59,020 --> 00:04:00,960
So it's all the same scenario.

46
00:04:01,060 --> 00:04:04,260
Once you connect so I'm going to click on it and connect.

47
00:04:04,570 --> 00:04:10,900
You'll see that I will be able to connect to the network but I won't have internet access.

48
00:04:12,130 --> 00:04:16,920
So if I go up here you can see that I am connected to the network.

49
00:04:17,140 --> 00:04:21,780
But as you can see the tour icon right here still has an X beside it.

50
00:04:21,790 --> 00:04:28,900
So I'm not able to connect to the tower network and even if I go and run my Tor Browser As you can see

51
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:32,210
it's telling me that the Tor network is not ready yet.

52
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,030
So the browser will probably not be able to access the Internet.

53
00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:39,250
And even if you wait for this it's not going to connect.

54
00:04:39,580 --> 00:04:41,910
So I'm going to click on start anyway.

55
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,920
And as you can see nothing will load will be stuck at the welcome page.

56
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,920
And even if you try to go to any Web site it's not going to load because the captive portal needs you

57
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,780
to first authenticate with it.

58
00:04:58,780 --> 00:05:05,890
So this network is configured in a way that the users have to authenticate using a web interface first

59
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,640
see usually on normal operating systems when you launch your browser.

60
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:19,390
You'll see the authentication web interface the authentication page by default but because Thales is

61
00:05:19,450 --> 00:05:26,470
configured so that it routes all traffic through the network the web interface or the authentication

62
00:05:26,470 --> 00:05:29,200
page is inaccessible to us.

63
00:05:29,950 --> 00:05:36,820
Therefore the only way around this is to go ahead and use the insecure browser which accesses the Internet

64
00:05:36,850 --> 00:05:46,500
directly to do this we're going to go to applications Internet and we're going to click on the unsafe

65
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:47,730
browser.

66
00:05:47,870 --> 00:05:51,660
It's going to show us a warning telling us that this will access the Internet directly.

67
00:05:51,660 --> 00:05:53,170
You will not be anonymous.

68
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:54,270
So be careful.

69
00:05:54,450 --> 00:05:56,250
I've explained all this to you.

70
00:05:56,250 --> 00:06:04,060
So we're going to click on launch and as you can see we get another web browser with a big warning again

71
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,590
about the implications of using this browser.

72
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,450
But we know what we're doing so that's fine.

73
00:06:09,490 --> 00:06:16,120
And now you can use this browser similar to the way that you use any web browser on any other operating

74
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:23,570
system that does not force traffic through the Tor network so you probably already connected such networks

75
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,250
in hotels or airports.

76
00:06:25,250 --> 00:06:30,970
Once you connect to it you open your web browser and you can go to any Web site you want.

77
00:06:31,070 --> 00:06:33,830
For example I'm going to go to Dr. Cole dot com

78
00:06:37,890 --> 00:06:44,880
and as you can see the Web site that I want will not load but I will get the page for the captive portal.

79
00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:47,970
Now some captive portals will ask you for a name and e-mail.

80
00:06:47,970 --> 00:06:49,790
They might ask for your phone number.

81
00:06:49,950 --> 00:06:52,110
You can fill this with any information you want.

82
00:06:52,110 --> 00:06:54,450
You don't have to give valid information.

83
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:57,410
And once you do this you can click on Connect.

84
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,080
In my case I can just connect without filling any information.

85
00:07:01,230 --> 00:07:04,790
And as you can see I'll get redirected to the Starbucks Web site.

86
00:07:04,830 --> 00:07:09,700
So I got authenticated with the network with the capped portal now.

87
00:07:09,780 --> 00:07:15,030
So now tails should be able to establish a connection with the terror network and the terror browser

88
00:07:15,030 --> 00:07:22,340
should work for us as well and perfect as you can see we get a notification telling us now we can access

89
00:07:22,340 --> 00:07:23,900
the Internet on detail.

90
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,290
Right.

91
00:07:24,290 --> 00:07:26,300
The X has disappeared.

92
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:33,650
So if I go to check the Tor Project dot org as you can see we get a nice message telling us that we

93
00:07:33,650 --> 00:07:40,630
are connected properly to the TOR network our IP is changed and everything is working as expected.

94
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,670
So now we don't need the unsafe browser anymore.

95
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:48,680
We can close it because we have authenticated with the target network properly.

96
00:07:48,860 --> 00:07:54,830
And the network is going to allow us to access the Internet and then Thales is going to force all traffic

97
00:07:54,830 --> 00:08:00,530
through the Tor network which is exactly what we want which will improve our privacy and anonymity.
