I don't think the article mentions it, but in addition to the tips in the article, stay away from wireless or bluetooth connections, remove the card(s) if possible... While it might seem tin foil hat, any over-the-air communication is fairly trackable (not saying wired isn't). And while your computer or device tries to connect to a network, The control packets sent out to channel 0 will even send a list of preferred networks you've connected to in the past...

- blahbl4hblahtoo 13y agoThat's one that I do think it's cool to be paranoid about. Cellular networks were designed with lawful intercept in mind. Combine that with the work published recently about baseband processors and it looks to me like staying off of 4G networks is a good idea if you are doing something security sensitive.
- Ellipsis753 13y agoThat is an issue but how do you combine this with not connecting from your home? I would hope that as long as you keep care with your preferred networks and only connect over Tor the idea of using lots of cafe wifi spots is better than just using your own wired internet?
