ANONYMITY
Anonymity is the state when nobody knows who are you on the internet.
This state is used by Hacker Worldwide to perform their activities so that no one can trace them.
Internet Protocol (IP)
Internet protocol is an
unique numeric identification number of every individual internet user which
can be used to track your name, geographical location and your online
activities.
An IP Looks like this
225.2.665.233
225.2.665.233
This is your address and to this address the data is
being sent by your internet provider as data packets and this is how your
internet works.
Hackers hide their identification on the internet to
perform hacking activities so that no one can trace them.
How Hackers Hide
their IP?
There are so many of ways to hide an IP, lets discuss
about them.
VPN(Virtual Private Network)
VPN is a network that is constructed by using public
wires, usually the internet.
To connect to a private network, such as a company’s internal network. There are a number of systems that enables you to create networks using the internet as the medium for transporting data.

How VPN Works
VPN Works as a medium between you and the internet, the
data is first received by the VPN server than it will come to your computer.
Proxy Servers
A proxy or proxy servers is basically another computer
which serves as a hub through which internet requests are processed. By
connecting through one of these servers, your computer sends your requests to
the proxy servers which then processes your request and returns what you were
wanting.
This way you IP is not shown to the tracker.
TOR BROWSER
(The Onion Router)
The Tor Browser is a web broswer that anonymizes your web traffic using the Tor network, making it easy to protect your identity online.
How to use the Tor Browser on mobile and cellphones
The Tor Browser is a web broswer that anonymizes your web traffic using the Tor network, making it easy to protect your identity online.
Tor browser is the best software for anonymous browsing till date. Even FBI can’t trace it easily. This works on layer IP basis. A circuit of different internet protocol is created (minimum 8 ) which acts as layers. (just like layers of an onion) The data is first received by first IP than transferred to second than third and so on. Then finally you get the data on your browser. This is the first tool every hacker should have and surprisingly this is a free software. Very less people know about this browser.
How to use the Tor Browser on mobile and cellphones
More and more people are browsing the web from their phones, and in poorer parts of the world that are mobile first, people are browsing the web only from their phones. As a result, the Tor Project has spent a couple years working to build a better Tor Browser for mobile phone users.
In September 2019, the Tor Project announced the official release of Tor Browser for Android, replacing the Guardian Project's Orfox as the officially endorsed Tor Browser for Android. (The Guardian Project's similarly named Orbot, a Tor proxy for Android that lets you tunnel all your app traffic over Tor, not just web traffic, continues to be alive and well.)
Due to technical restrictions on Apple's proprietary iOS platform, the Tor Project has not yet released an official Tor Browser for iPhone and iPad users, but endorses OnionBrowser for iOS users who want to browse the web anonymously. Major security improvements are in the pipeline for OnionBrowser, including fixing some information leakage issues and enabling per-website security parameters. The latest and greatest version of Onion Browser should be out by early November 2019, the developers tell CSO.
How Tor Browser Works
Tor Browser routes all your web traffic through the Tor network, anonymizing it. As the images below illustrate, Tor consists of a three-layer proxy, like layers of an onion (hence Tor's onion logo). Tor Browser connects at random to one of the publicly listed entry nodes, bounces that traffic through a randomly selected middle relay, and finally spits out your traffic through the third and final exit node.
Is The Tor Browser Is Legal?
For most people reading this article, Tor Browser is completely legal to use. In some countries, however, Tor is either illegal or blocked by national authorities. China has outlawed the anonymity service and blocks Tor traffic from crossing the Great Firewall. Countries such as Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran, are working hard to prevent citizens from using Tor.
Is Tor Browser anonymous?
Tor Browser offers the best anonymous web browsing available today, but that anonymity is not perfect. We are currently witnessing an arms race between researchers seeking to strengthen Tor, or even develop a next generation anonymity tool, and governments around the world studying how to break Tor's anonymity properties.
The most successful technique to de-anonymize Tor Browser users has been to hack them. The FBI has used this technique successfully in numerous criminal cases, and under Rule 41, enacted in 2016 by US Chief Justice Roberts of the Supreme Court, the FBI can now mass hack large numbers of computers anywhere in the world using a single warrant.
Such hacking techniques ought to concern everyone, as innocent Tor users will inevitably get caught up in such fishing expeditions.
Does that mean you shouldn't use Tor? Certainly not, if you care about your privacy online. Tor Browser is an essential tool that will only improve with time. If you don't care about your privacy?
