00:00:01,290 --> 00:00:06,360
As mentioned in the previous lecture and this lecture and in the next lectures I'm going to show you

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,890
a number of methods to send and receive emails.

3
00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:17,370
And then you can sit down yourself compare them and see which wants you to best based on the reason

4
00:00:17,370 --> 00:00:23,660
why you need an email address and based on your threat model.

5
00:00:23,780 --> 00:00:29,340
Now the first thing that I want to cover is temporary email accounts as the name suggests.

6
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:36,300
These are email accounts that will work for for a short period of time and then they expire deleting

7
00:00:36,410 --> 00:00:40,310
all of your emails and all of the information on them.

8
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:43,940
Now the cool thing about these accounts is first of all they're temporary.

9
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:50,120
They require no set up so they want to request any personal information and they won't waste any time.

10
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:55,490
As soon as you load the web site that offers the service you will be presented with your inbox which

11
00:00:55,490 --> 00:00:58,110
you can use straight away.

12
00:00:58,220 --> 00:01:01,480
So as you can see this can be very useful in many cases.

13
00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:07,820
If you wanted to communicate with someone for a short period of time or if you get asked for an email

14
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:14,900
by a Web site and the Web sites will send you a confirmation link so you actually need to have a valid

15
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:22,160
email then you can use this and in many cases you're asked to have a company email and these emails

16
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:28,340
are great because they actually do look like company emails unlike other emails that you get from Gmail

17
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:29,850
and so on.

18
00:01:30,170 --> 00:01:37,040
Now the main disadvantage with these email accounts is that they are relatively easy to break into.

19
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:42,290
So you want to be careful about that but if you're using encryption which I'm going to show you later

20
00:01:42,290 --> 00:01:48,320
on in the course then even if someone reads your messages your data should be secure and encrypted as

21
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,220
long as your keys are encrypted.

22
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,150
But that's something to talk about for another lecture.

23
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:58,700
For now let's have a look on how to use these temporary accounts an example.

24
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:01,670
Right here we have temp mail address dot com.

25
00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:03,790
There is also term mail dot com.

26
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:10,190
And I'm going to include a full list of all of these Web sites in the resources of this lecture.

27
00:02:10,220 --> 00:02:14,510
There are also hidden online services that offer the same service.

28
00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:20,620
So this Web site right here guerrilla mail dot com right here I'm actually on the clear net Web site.

29
00:02:20,660 --> 00:02:24,740
As you can see but they also offer a hidden service.

30
00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:31,790
So right here I have the DOT onion hidden Service Web site which is called Tor guerilla mail and pretty

31
00:02:31,790 --> 00:02:38,870
much it's the same functionality it gives you a temporary inbox which you can use for one hour after

32
00:02:38,870 --> 00:02:43,920
the hour everything gets deleted so using the inbox is very simple.

33
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:49,340
You can see first of all you can actually set the name that you want to use for this email and here

34
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:56,050
you can also set the domain so you can pick the AD domain from any domains that you want in here.

35
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:02,060
And like I said this can be very useful if the Web site you're signing up for requires you to have a

36
00:03:02,060 --> 00:03:05,960
company email once you have these picked up.

37
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,990
You can actually copy this email and share it on that Web site or send it to anyone that you want to

38
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:13,730
receive emails from.

39
00:03:13,730 --> 00:03:21,320
But using the e-mail like this makes it easier to guess your idea and gain access to this inbox.

40
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,910
So a better way of sharing it is to use the scrambled link in here.

41
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:29,040
So this is basically the same e-mail that you see in here.

42
00:03:29,090 --> 00:03:37,460
It's just scrambled so that it's more difficult to know the I.D. so you can copy this and give it to

43
00:03:37,460 --> 00:03:39,690
anyone that wants to send you an e-mail.

44
00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:44,440
And just as an example I'm going to go to the clear net version of this Web site.

45
00:03:44,450 --> 00:03:52,430
This one right here guerilla mail dot com and I'm going to click on compose I'm going to set thee to

46
00:03:52,430 --> 00:04:03,250
e-mail to the e-mail that I have here on the darknet and let's set the subject to test and set the body

47
00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:10,200
to this is a test message now as you can see you can even add attachments.

48
00:04:10,230 --> 00:04:15,060
If you want but I will talk about file sharing and more details in the future.

49
00:04:15,210 --> 00:04:22,520
And once you're done we can just click on send and perfect as you can see it's telling you that the

50
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,630
message is dispatched.

51
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:31,980
Let's go to the darknet inbox in here and see if we're going to receive it and perfect as you can see

52
00:04:31,980 --> 00:04:33,920
we got a new message in here.

53
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:43,240
So if we click on this and we have the content that we expect which says this is a text message.

54
00:04:43,330 --> 00:04:49,360
Now one thing I should note is as you can see here in the clear net version of this Web site you have

55
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,720
the compose button where you can compose and send e-mails.

56
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,600
But in the darknet version this functionality is not working as expected.

57
00:04:57,730 --> 00:05:00,770
And even if you click on reply it's not going to work.

58
00:05:01,570 --> 00:05:05,920
Now hopefully they fix this in the future by the time that you watch this lecture.

59
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:13,090
But for now the darknet version can only be used to receive emails but that's not a big problem because

60
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,790
as you can see through Tor and through tales we can actually still access clear net Web sites and we

61
00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:22,420
can make full use of this functionality.

62
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,280
So like I said this is one option of receiving and sending emails.

63
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:35,600
The pros is that it requires no information no time is wasted on signing up and everything gets deleted

64
00:05:36,170 --> 00:05:42,020
within an hour or if you're using other services such as this one you can pick how long you want to

65
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:45,500
keep the account for the cons.

66
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:48,080
This might be easier to break into.

67
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,540
And it is temporary.

68
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,830
So it will eventually expire.

69
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:59,230
Therefore it might not be good for all scenarios or for everybody and like I said these are just two

70
00:05:59,230 --> 00:06:02,210
examples of Web sites that offer these services.

71
00:06:02,260 --> 00:06:08,530
Check out the resources of this lecture for a list of more Web sites that offer the same service with

72
00:06:08,530 --> 00:06:10,030
slightly different features.
