I DONT THINK THAT IS GOES IN THE TUTORIAL SECTION...


Check your proxy for anonymity or what can be known about you on the Internet

Here you can check your proxy for anonymity. URLs (see below) have dynamic pages that will show almost all information about your computer. This information can allow any web-server administrator to know when you download files, read pages or see pictures. Therefore, we recommend finding out
what can be known about you on the Internet:

tools-on.net (click the "Go" button) - the really good web site for getting really full information about your computer. Information contains your real IP address ("Client's address we got" into "collected information") if you are not using anonymous proxy, network Information (about your provider, etc.), Domain Information and many many more.
http://ipid.shat.net - contain basic information such as your IP, browser version, screen resolution, platform, java supporting, etc.
http://privacy.net/analyze/ - similar to mentioned above, but also contains detail technical information.
http://www.samair.ru/proxy/proxychecker/ - analyze your proxy connection. If you are using proxy, you can check your anonymity.
http://www.findnot.com/ - shows real location of your computer (country and city), and also your Latitude (on site writed "Latitue") and Longitude.
http://www.all-nettools.com/toolbox,net - popular site for beginners (button "Proxy Test"). Here you can know information about your IP-address ("You came from", or (if it's absent) - "remote address" / "remote host").
If you are using anonymous proxy

It's good Do you want to check your real anonymity? Even if your proxy is anonymous (or high anonymous - elite) we can to know your real IP address! If your browser supports Java, just go to:
http://www.inet-police.com/cgi-bin/env.cgi
Here you can see similar information as in URLs above, but also added a field on the top of page, where you can see your real IP! How it can be detected and how to "hide" your real IP, read here.
Environment variables

http://www.glocksoft.net/azenv.php - contain almost all environment variables (this is information that your computer sends to the Internet when you connect to the web-sites). Variables are grouped by importance and selected by color.
The Internet has many addresses like the ones presented here:
http://blake.prohosting.com/fet/env.cgi
http://cpcug.org/scripts/env.cgi

If you think that it's all information about you than can be known through the internet, you are wrong.
If you don't use real anonymous proxy, then anyone using your IP can learn information about you. So...

what can be known about you by IP?

For this test you will need your IP address. If you have troubles with getting this address, or you dont't want to test it, you can look for information about (for example) www.altavista.com - just write this text into "SmartWhois" field.
Use this URL: http://www.all-nettools.com/toolbox
Just put the required address (for example, your IP) into the "SmartWhois" field and press the "Go" button. As a rule (in 99% of all situations) you will get information about your city, and the provider's name.
As a maximum (sometimes) you can know:

• name and real address of your provider (organization);
• real city, where are you now;
• name, phone and e-mail of your provider (person responsible for work of your local network / IP address);
• (for organizations) name of your organization;
• (for organizations) real address!
