1.What are packets.

Packets are very simple on the net There are millions of user's now for 
secrurity and other reasons there must be ways of establishing difference 
between user's Thus is done by packets, Packets are used when ever u connect
to a remote server/system Its identify's who is connecting.
An example of a http packet.( [Connect from MAx.mpd.com]
[206.14.13.32] (Mozilla/4.05 [en] (X11;I;Linux 2.0.34 i586) on December 
2, 1998 at 14:34:45 )
Now ill tell u what it is saying if u dont know.
*Note*(Http packets is the way u are sending info through the web 
browser whenever u connect to a server/mechine/site )
[connected from MAx.mpd.com]-This is my host
[206.14.13.32]- is my ip
(Mozilla/4.05)- is the version of mozilla im using
(X11;I;Linux 2.0.32 i586)- Is The O's(operating system) And version of 
the o's im running
[On december 2, 1998 at 14:34:45] - is day/year/time
Now u know how it works this is one way Hackers get all the info they 
need on your computer to hack it.
Now we dont want this anymore THus anonymous proxies where invented to 
give keep user's on the net secrure.Using anonymous proxies isnt 
100% secrure as the hacker can still do means on getting your real 
ip/host/os ill talk about that later but it makes it very hard for a hacker 
to get your ip/host once behind a proxy.
Now http isnt the only means of packets there are also socket packets which
ill talk about later.

2.How http proxy work.
A http proxy works like server it is actuelly and what it does is when
setup in your browser when ever u want to go to sites.It will connect 
to there proxy server first then the proxy server conncts to the site 
u want to go to THus leaving no evendence of u on the site just the 
proxy server.(Dont worry once u setup a proxy dont think u always have 
to type in the proxy in first then go to there and type the site u want
too go to. :)It dont work like that once u have entered the proxy settings
in ya browser it will auto do the proxy for u all u have to do is surf the 
net.(Setting up a http proxy descussed later)

3. Getting a http proxy
Http proxies are very easyly found on the net as there are many 
commited Http proxy server's around that are free.
Ill give a list of some http proxies for your all sorry if your 
country proxy isn't here just search on the net for (Http proxy)
and ull find one.

(ok id say i gave out enough if ya local country not there go search
the net and if cant find use another country one that is close to u)

4.How to secrure Http packets
Like i said before this is a normal http packet
( [Connect from MAx.mpd.com]
[206.14.13.32] (Mozilla/4.05 [en] (X11;I;Linux 2.0.34 i586) on December 
2, 1998 at 14:34:45 )
Now to Make your ip and host anonymous to web browsing we are going to 
use http proxy with ya browser.THis is done by going to ya options
and finding the info on proxy settings in thus put in all
avalable places in proxy setting etc.ftp,http,secruity,
Except leave sockets part blank THis isnt a socket proxy its a http
Now after setting up a proxy in the proxy settings and putting in the 
port too.Our new packets will look like this.
( [Connect from The_proxies_host]
[The_proxies_ip] (Mozilla/4.05 [en] (X11;I;Linux 2.0.34 i586) on December 
2, 1998 at 14:34:45 )
Now u might be thinking cool :) No longer have everdence of me on there 
server but dam they know my o's and version of mozilla later on ill 
descuse how to change that.U might also be thinking WOW now i can surf 
100% secure on the net.U are not totally right.IF a hacker had a real 
grunge on u.He has now the proxy u are using there ip/host
now if he wants to get your info that badly he would have to hack
the proxy server comapare the log time of the time u loged to the hacker's 
site too the logs of your connection to the proxy server.THus is a real
big job and if pick a good proxy server they will be very secure from 
attack's So your pritty much safe.

5.How to edit the o's and mozilla info send.

Ok if your using Ie this is how u would do it.
To see Original Settings
GOTO HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
User Agent = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 95; (Your Orginial Settings))

(Skip this Part here)
GOTO HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
ProductName = Microsoft Windows 95
Version = Windows 95


GOTO HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform
(Your Orignial Settings Here) = IEAK(Your Orignial Settings Here) 

Example

GOTO HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform
Myth [Unix-Base] = IEAKMyth [Unix-Base] 


*Note (this info on how to change the mozilla and version shown was
given to me from Myth i didn't make it.)

6.Getting a socket proxy.

Ok now socket proxies work like Http proxies the only diff is 
socket proxies are used with programs like (icq,mirc) And the packets
are send through sockets not http.Getting a socket proxy is alot harder
because Socket proxy server's have to be dedicated to a sertain program
so its very limiting to the amount of user's he will get.
Http is always used its using the web everyone uses it so http proxies
are always going to be in need.
TO find a socket proxy u can search the net typing in (Socket proxy)
or try for sertain program's names like (Icq proxy).
Hopefully u will get one
socket proxies are useful as alot of attacks on user's are done 
by kids with nukes,spring,ping,smurf,etc etc And thus will anoy a user
in mirc or from icq both these programs give any user possability to
get a user's ip/host.
thats why if u use these u will want a socket proxy.
Alot of people go why dont u just use ident or jizz or something 
for mirc and icq.Well the reason u don't as there are expolits out 
there to crash spoofed hosts/ip for programs like jizz and ident
a proxy is more stable way and more prevention then a spoofer program.
With these programs its explains once u get a socket proxy how to set
them up in them so i dont have to go and explain for u.Because its 
different for all programs Socket is also used in web downloading/surfing 
but not to worry u can find alot of socket proxies for web downloading/surfing 
around.

7.How a socket proxy works.

I just explained it breifly in last topic.
Ill go into a bit more detail 
see when ever u send or recive a file for a server/user
it has to send through a socket.Now when they do this it has to establish
a connection to your computer.Example if a connection
( established a connection on MAx.mpd.com port 1030 )
And thats not all it will log on the computer what day/year/time
u established a connection.This is another way hackers get info on u
Thats why u need a socket proxy.

8.Cookies.
Ok cookies are also apart of way info is send from your server/isp
to your computer cokies transmits info on webpages visited by u 
info on what u have downloaded and so forth with  a ip/host and day/
year/time .Now hackers can use this hack for 2 reasons
1.Get info they need to attack u 
2.Be able to see all places u have been/done on web/send files through
to your computer without u even knowing it.
Now With all browsers now u can stop even limit cookies from the oriene
of your server.Go to your options u will find something on cookies
there in ya browser.
Now this is very limiting so if ya a linux/unix user there is a nice
little program i know that will go that few steps furture.
Visit. (http://www.lne.com/ericm/cookie_jar/)
THis program called "Cookie jar" alows u to limit sites from your computer
limit if u get cookies from that site/server its goes the extra steps
u need.

9.Final note.

Rember dont use this secruity for hacking almost all proxy server's 
will give the cops/server's your info if they find u tryed to hack with
there anonymous proxy settings.Only use this to stops attacks against u
and your server.

Rember.Have fun
