1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,000
In this video, I want to cover the last type of email providers.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
So as we're going through these videos, the providers will become a little bit harder to use and will

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,000
have less features, but they will become more private, more secure, and therefore more anonymous.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:29,000
So in the previous lecture, we had the look on privacy focused email providers such as Protonmail.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
They were great as they don't track you.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
They keep no logs, they use encryption and all that good stuff.

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,000
The only problem with them is that they operate both on the clear and on the darknet.

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:49,000
They are proper known companies and therefore sometimes they comply with court orders and might be influenced

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
by agencies and so on.

10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Now the email providers that I want to show you in this lecture, they come with all of these great

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
features of the privacy focused mail providers.

12
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So they come with no tracking, no logs, require no personal information and all that, and they operate

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,000
fully from the darknet.

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
So they don't have servers on the clear net.

15
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
And even if they have clear net websites, they redirect you to the Darknet website.

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
They they're less likely to be influenced by agencies and so on because all of their servers are in

17
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
the darknet.

18
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
So all of them are running as onion services.

19
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Therefore, by default, they benefit from Tor's anonymizing and privacy features.

20
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
They all use encryption and therefore they are more secure, more private, and therefore they are more

21
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
anonymous.

22
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Now there are a lot of Darknet email providers.

23
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
I'll include links to lists in the resources of this lecture.

24
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
You can go through them and see which one you like the most.

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
As usual, do your own research, read the privacy policy and pick the one you like the most.

26
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
In this lecture, though, I'm going to show you two examples of these mail providers.

27
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
The first one is Elwood.

28
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
It's pretty cool.

29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Like I said, keeps no track, no logging, all that cool stuff.

30
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
It also uses end to end encryption and your emails are stored in personally encrypted storage.

31
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
So that's really, really nice.

32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Now before I go and use this, both of these services that I'm going to show you today do not require

33
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000
JavaScript.

34
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Therefore, we can go ahead and set our security settings to the highest.

35
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
We had to keep it at safer when we were using Protonmail because it requires JavaScript.

36
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
But for both of the services that we're going to use today, they do not require JavaScript.

37
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Therefore we can set our security to the highest and they should still work and function as expected.

38
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Signing up to this is very simple.

39
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
All you have to do is go to sign up.

40
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Now, like I said, I will include a link to this in the resources of the lecture.

41
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
So don't worry about that.

42
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
It's going to ask you for your name again.

43
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Use your fake identity.

44
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
So I'm going to set it to John Wick.

45
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Put a username so I'm going to set it to Jane wk7.

46
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Set a password, solve the CAPTCHA and click on register so it doesn't get any simpler than this.

47
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
When you're done, it's telling us we succeeded.

48
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
We have the email now and we can just go ahead and log in.

49
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,000
So I'm going to log in with my username, put my password, fill the CAPTCHA.

50
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Now it's going to ask you to verify your email.

51
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:50,000
You can do this using any of the other services that I covered before, or you can just skip the verification

52
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
and go straight to your account.

53
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Now that I'm in my account, I'm going to go to the email login to go to my inbox and I'm going to use

54
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
the text only interface.

55
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
And perfect.

56
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
As you can see, you get a normal inbox that is very easy to use.

57
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
So I'm not going to spend too much time on it, but I want to highlight a major feature of this email

58
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
provider.

59
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,000
See, when it comes to Darknet email providers, not all of them allow you to send emails to Darknet

60
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
and clear net addresses.

61
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,000
So Elude is one of these email providers which allow you to communicate with both clear net and Darknet

62
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
addresses.

63
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:39,000
So as a test, let me first of all send an email to a clear net address to a Gmail address.

64
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
So this is my other Gmail account.

65
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Now, you should never do this in real life scenarios.

66
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,000
You should never communicate with your own clear net addresses because this can be used to link you

67
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
and to know who you are.

68
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,000
But for now, I'm just trying to show you that this email provider works with both clear net and Darknet

69
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000
addresses.

70
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
So I'm just going to say this is a test to a clear net email address.

71
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
You can also send attachments if you want, but we're going to keep this the way it is.

72
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000
I'm going to send it.

73
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
And if I go to my email address that I sent this to.

74
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
As you can see, we got the message.

75
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
It's telling us that this is a test to a clear net address and I can reply, let's just say it works.

76
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
And if we go back here, go to the inbox.

77
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Refresh it.

78
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Perfect.

79
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
As you can see, we get the response.

80
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
If we click on that.

81
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
It's saying it's works.

82
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
So everything is working as expected and we can use this account to send emails to both clear net and

83
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Darknet addresses.

84
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Now this is one example of Darknet email providers.

85
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
The other example that I want to show you is called Tor Box.

86
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Like I said, I will include links to this in the resources.

87
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:10,000
And the main difference between Tor Box and Elude is that Tor Box is completely isolated from the clear

88
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,000
net.

89
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,000
This makes it a little bit more private because it literally prevents you from communicating with anyone

90
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:23,000
on the clear net, therefore increasing your privacy and therefore increasing your anonymity.

91
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Also, like I said, the more examples that I show you, the less features they will have and the more

92
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
anonymous they are.

93
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
So this email provider has less features and you'll see that.

94
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
But like I said, it will be more private and more anonymous.

95
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
So let's click on sign up to sign up and you'll see this is again, very, very simple.

96
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
We'll set a name.

97
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
So again, John Wick.

98
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Pick an email.

99
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:58,000
So our email is going to be gnwk7 and it will be at this address dot onion and we're going to set a

100
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
password and solve the CAPTCHA.

101
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
And perfect.

102
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
The email is done.

103
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000
This is it.

104
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
You can store it in a text file so you can remember it.

105
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
And now we can go ahead, click on Web mail, login to log in.

106
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Put the name and the password.

107
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
And perfect.

108
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
We're logged in right now.

109
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
As you can see, the interface is even simpler in here.

110
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000
If you wanted to write a message, you can click on Compose.

111
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Let me show you if I send this to my Gmail email address.

112
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
And say test and click on Send.

113
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
You'll see that this will actually be refused.

114
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:46,000
So as you can see, it's telling us that this did not get sent because we are trying to communicate

115
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
with a clear net email address.

116
00:07:48,000 --> 00:08:01,000
However, if I try to send something here to the elude email so this was jnck7 at elude dot n keep everything

117
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
the same.

118
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:11,000
If I click on send, you'll see I'll get no error messages and if I go to elude and check my inbox,

119
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:19,000
you can see I have a message coming from my third box address and if we go in, we can see the message

120
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
content.

121
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Now.

122
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Elwood and Tarbox are just two examples of Darknet email providers.

123
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Like I said, I just wanted to show you two different examples as like I said, Elude allows you to

124
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:40,000
communicate with both clear net and Darknet addresses where Tor blocks can only communicate with Darknet

125
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000
addresses.

126
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:48,000
So again, do your own research, read about both of them, see which ones do to best and fits your

127
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
threat model and fits your needs and use the one that is best for you.

128
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,000
And like I said, I'll include links to all of these and more in the resources of this lecture.
