Please bear with me.


About 2 years ago I was convicted of a few fairly low-grade crimes that were jacked up to the extreme.
I was at my own house-warming and an at-the-time partners house. 4 hours in to the drinks and I / we /25 or so of us all up,
(mostly me + corporate friends); were raided by a special (see:abusive) Australian unit of Police that go by the name "Strike-force Raptor".
This elite "strikeforce" have special powers and amendments to the act that give them unfettered, warrant-less access to persons & their property,
as long as they could be reasonably suspected to have been or about to comit or participate in serious organised crimes. As far as blokes that ride Harleys go it means they have unlimited power as they were designed to target bike-riders.

Long story short : I ride motorbikes with friends and that's an issue for the law in AUS. To ride loud bikes and enjoy friendships with people that aren't fake is extreme stuff apparently.
Attitude aside, I was audited by the state crime command for 9 months prior to my arrest, and was the lucky recipient of my own operation; codename: Blamair.

I don't need to go in to the the rest, just know I paid over 2 hundred thousand dollars and reported daily for nearly 2 years before my dragged out court-case was finalised- a corrupt farce. I'd like you to know that this was all over 5xMDMA caps & 1x Taser I didn't own , that my 50 year old flatmate had under his bed / & fessed up to owning. I was looking at spending 10 years behind bars because of the drug/weapon combination laws here. I'm 30 and have no priors. I was set up.

The commission stated things at court that have had & continue to have ramifications for me personally so 'll explain how this all fits in with the tech side of things.

The status-quot is I'm supposed to be some sociopath criminal mastermind who (sic)

Quote:

successfully evades any suspicions of being technically inclined almost inherently, by not only his character, but his victim-stance manipulation tactics. He doesn't present like someone who an ordinary person might reasonably suspect be technically inclined as a purpose.

This went before court with a host of other Disney tales.

They're coining me like some kind of tattoo'd up bikie Mitnick'.

As such;

I'm up to 4 bugs in my house now since this happened. I had flatmates move in from Gumtree some time ago attempting to tamper with my DNS & ARP poisoning + packet-sniffing on a nightly basis until I busted one in the act on one of my servers. My house was searched 15 minutes later as I was in the middle of getting to the bottom of it with him & asking for an explanation. I was taken to the station and came back to an empty room & never saw him again.

I've had the place searched 5 times, on one occasion in front of serious business connections (I work from home). There's one (bug) sitting in my hall-way right outside my door even as we speak, assumedly I shouldn't know it's there. I'm yet to pick it out of the smoke-alarm it's sitting in & hammer it like the others because it's almost comically useless out where it is. I digress.

If it sounds like I'm a loony who needs to step away from the tinfoil / uppers I wish I could agree with you. This is real life & none of what I've just said was paranoia. They're facts.

Everything I order in the mail comes weeks late & slapped with tampered stickers. One work mobile about 3 months ago from Victoria; a piece of crap $50 Nokia, was firm-bugged before it arrived. I sent it to the AFP in a bag with a picture of a pig on it looking confused in front of a computer. I thought it was clever at the time.

How do I get these a-holes out of my life?. I'm constantly being attacked technically & monitored. I have 2 wireless networks that aren't mine in my house that have 95-100 signal and I'm in a penthouse with no neighbours close-by that aren't through thick, multiple layered bricks walls elsewhere. MAC address of these routers is one & the same and point towards a video / broadcasting chip from china.

My partner and I go places and get followed to the point of it being shameless & obnoxious on their part. We can go to an empty viet soup kitchen and invariably have company 5 minutes after we sit down by well dressed 30somethings with their phones out. They never seem to eat anything.

Being paranoid about being paranoid is worse than anything else. Having to justify myself to my lovely partner is bloody tiresome & it will eventually wear her down.. I'm fortunate to have had her present where my suspicions have been vindicated and she's seen it first hand. Anyone who's ever been self-conscious about looking like a loon knows how much of a relief that can be.

The endless MITM / MTF (Man there first) with a lot of my movements. They don't even try to hide it sometimes. It's a joke.

I want privacy. I'm a security professional and I don't feel like it's possible to have it. I can think of every bit of technology out there right now that I'm aware (and have access to) - to circumvent these things, but none of it stops MTF /MITM tactics when they're advanced enough. Without going in to it, they've got someone pretty decent on my balls and I want to do whatever I can to secure myself.

I've tried Deadnet / Piratebox / Piggy-back proxying / TOR-VPN chained oversea, l2p etc- none of that let's me sleep easy because I'll dig and find that my HTTPS/SSL packets have been stripped in transit, or I've been duped out of my own Internet connection and be sitting on someone's MAC spoofed clone of my router regardless of my tireless ARP binding. Blue cable makes no difference, I'll suddenly find myself using Wifi and and every time that happens I've been bumped it seems. I don't want to have to not do my passion because of this harassment.

In one instance, I was connecting to a fedbox in the equinox data-center, Sydney, for 2 months without even knowing, as my DNS was changed on the ISP level. That was before I knew they still cared about me. Sounds crazy? My mobile conversations that came up in court were mostly taking place when the mobile was on me switched off - months prior.


Any advice would be most warmly received.
I just want to be left alone so I can work, code & enjoy life without looking as batshit crazy as I probably just made myself look. I'm at witts end.

Where should I start?
