| Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net. |

Re: can a yahoo email address be traced back to me?
Yes. Yahoo will have an access log, that log will include your IP when you sent the email. Your IP will be given to your ISP and they'll be told to produce your information. Even if your IP has changed, they'll look through their logs, see who had the IP at that time, and find you.

I can't think of a better way to say this.
Also, I have heard reports of hushmail releasing records to some countries that it operates within. Better to use standard email, through proxies, and your own encryption with GPG.

Fair warning: If you're stupid enough to post a confession it could be held against you in a court of law. SWIM doesn't make a post less useful for the prosecution, either.

Pr0metheum is right:

Yahoo itself of is able to trace you to some extent depending on your ISPs privacy policy; i suggest you read it.
Determined attackers MIGHT be able to trace you.

Hushmail released private keys (needed for decrypting encrypted messages) to the Canadian government in a drug case. This was because the suspect trusted Hushmail to handle his private keys. Hushmail is fine as an email provider; I just wouldn't trust their Java apps or their server-side shit. Use Evolution, or Thunderbird and Enigmail, and GnuPG. Never trust what you can't control. This includes serverside software and non-free software.

I can think of a good way to say it:
You're on the internet- you can be traced.

Re: can a yahoo email address be traced back to me?
im not too worried about it, as long as its not incredibly easy for someone to do so. i dont think the party in question is going to put forth much effort to find out.

If you are only sending a mail, and don't need a mailbox.
Find an smtp server that doesn't ask for authentication and torify.

There are like one of them left, and they're all blocked by spam filters.

You would actually be surprised. A lot of people run SMTP servers, and don't even know they are doing it.

In that case I would be surprised. It wouldn't be difficult to set up a script to scan the internet for open smtp servers and then spam with them.

That's one of two techniques spammers use. They also run SMTP servers on their own machines and spam out from there, giving false identities or additional relay-for lines to servers when they send the messages.

Re: can a yahoo email address be traced back to me?
That's why jesus invented wifi and poor wireless encryption. Next time you want to send pictures of your dick to your hot co-worker, drive to a random city and connect to a random wifi in a random suburb. While you're at it, download some child porno, copy it to a mobile media and get rid of your wireless NIC.
Jesus be praised!

His question was a stupid one. Of course stuff can be traced back to you, irrelevant of what public email service you're using. It just depends on how illegal the shit is he's doing. Unless his hot co-worker presses charges, he's safe.
Which isn't safe at all. An ex-colleague of mine got fired for photographing his dick and sending the pictures, through the company mail no less, to some hot chick in the office. He thought she'd be all over him. He got fired the same day she complained to her boss. Then she sued him for harassment and sexual assault. Now he's on probation, has a loan to pay her the damages, and has a restraining order, which sadly for him means he can't find a job close to his home anymore.
Don't mail pics of your dick.

OP is a dumbass if he thinks they can't find everything about his life out in a matter of seconds nowadays.
