Introduction

First thing's first. Welcome to Investbox.com, we are happy to have you!

Now, the reason that you are here is to make money online...Right? We are here to help you along the way. HYIP is not only High Yield, it's High Risk! If you're the type of person who prefers "absolutes" and "guarantees", then this arena may not be for you.

It's critically important to understand the basic concepts before you spend, however, it is possible to take educated risks to minimize any losses that can occur. After all, you've heard the expression, "Beware of diving into unknown waters"... in other words, don't spend into a program until you know "how deep the water is that you're diving into". 

There are many excellent places to get HYIP information using search engines, this guide is a good starting point. The importance of retrieving information is like any course that you'd take in school, you need to learn.

Over time, you'll understand the process needed. Due Diligence is necessary in any financial decision, or business practice. One of the worst things you can do is spend into a program without reading what it's about or how it works. 

Nowadays the word HYIP has become a very common term in the cyber arena, even though a lot of people still have never heard of it before. It's even caught the attention of government financial departments to ponder on. Even the federal securities are talking about HYIPs. So what’s the big story behind this four letter word ? Let’s find out through this detailed report, which is based on what we learned from other experienced people, some of which have many more years than we do of field experience in this arena.

What does 'HYIP' mean?

HYIP, simply means “High Yield Internet Program”. It’s exactly what it sounds like. These companies ask you to provide them with a loan of money and they promise to repay you with interest payments on a Daily / Weekly / Monthly Basis. 

The return you receive on your funds ranges from very small to very large percentages and could be spread over a long period of time. You'll usually recoup your original spend in about 2-3 months, and from then on it's pure profit.

HYIP’s are probably the most profitable returns available today. Some can give you up to 100% return on your spend per month. This industry is growing by storm everywhere on the internet. There have never been opportunities such as this to give such a high profit within the shortest amount of time.

There are many different HYIPs on the internet with many different methods of payment and repayment. 

Please Just Dont Spend Your Hard Earned Money Into  Every Single HYIP That Is Out There.

Around 90%+ of these HYIP programs are scams. If you follow the steps in this guide, you'll make great profits like we do.

What do these HYIP Companies do? 

Most of these companies will follow a unique strategy to gain a high level of profit. They manage their/your funds in the most efficient way to ensure the profit return for their clients. Some of them will use in the stock market, others in property, bonds or Foreign Exchange (Forex).

Most of the time a company will use a combination of opportunities to generate such a high profit margin. Each company usually has their own unique strategy. 

Are HYIP's Legal?

The real HYIP's are legal, but they're only legal if you declare your earnings from them on your tax return. Contact a qualified tax professional for more assistance in how to deal with this type of earned income.

Can there be fraud in HYIPs? 

Yes there can be, and there is plenty of it online. From our research, as many as 97% of the HYIP Programs out there are fraudulent programs run by scammers. They're are just there to take your money and run. These HYIPs usually last no more than 3-6 months. That's why it's wise to do your due diligence before spending any money. 

Security

To start off with, the subject of internet security is probably the single most important subject to consider when dealing with money, or currencies on the internet. Hacking has become a major problem that cannot be ignored. 

There are many methods used by the hackers today, and they're figuring out new ways to do it every single day. SpyWare and Keylogging programs are one of the most practiced forms of gaining information that's used to rob individuals of their funds from their E-Currency Accounts on the internet. 

It's our personal opinion that if you purchase the best security you'll have the best security, and if you intend to protect programs that involve a good deal of money, then you should consider the purchase of the best software to be a really good investment. 

Due Diligence Tools

IF you understood even a fraction of what this is all about, you would know that due diligence is not something that can be done on HYIP's the same way you would with a typical licensed firm. If you're coming in with $10 M, you'll be able to satisfy yourself about legitimacy with irrefutable proof (sometimes certificates of deposits), because you will deal directly with the paperwork of the trade itself -- paperwork that even your own intermediary may not get to see.

Sometimes a person with $1 M is lucky to be able to get a sole signature account and be privy to more info -- but it's not the norm. As for the rest of us? Forget it.

To put it more bluntly, this business is a PRIVATE sector. There are usually no public registries, no BBB listings, no bankers or licensed brokers who will confirm anything, nada, zero, zilch. That's just the nature of this industry.

Although you CAN do basic due diligence on any program, here's how:

Using www.whois.sc is a great way to look at the statistics of companies' registrations, see also what country they're in, who they're registered to, etc... as well as any technical data, like SSL Certificates and expirations. 

Step One: 
Use the following Whois Lookup sites to find out the Web Owner details information: 
Lookup IP Address 
Lookup Internet Service Provider (ISP) 
Lookup IP Address belongs to (Organization) 
Lookup Country 
Lookup Continent 
Lookup State 
Lookup City 
Lookup Latitude 
Lookup Longitude 
Lookup Timezone 
Lookup Registrant (website registered address, person contacts & etc.) 

http://www.showmyip.com 
http://centralops.net/co  
http://www.seoconsultants.com/tools/whois.asp 
http://www.dnsstuff.com 


Step Two: Before participating in any program, review the Web Site Owner's operation location, and ascertain if you feel comfortable with the Web Site. In the event of fraud by the web site owner, you can locate them and have them reported to Internet Fraud Authority. 

Step Three: Search who their Internet Service Provider (ISP) is. Track down the IP Address belonging to the organization, email contact, etc. In the event of fraud by web site owner, you can file a complaint. With this powerful tool you can force the Scammer to close up his web site or get shutdown by their ISP. 

Step Four: If you've been deceived or ripped off, submit full details of the particular web site (refer to step one) with your e-payment confirmation and file a complaint email to the following organizations to alert the relevant authorities of Internet Fraud: 

1. Internet Fraud Coordinator: ifcc.tp@fbi.gov 
2. ISP Provider; abuse@........ (refer to Step One, search the abuse email contact of
their ISP Provider /and IP Address belongs to…and complain to Network abuse). 
3. Locate authority (refer to web Registrant station address, search on Internet to locate 
their local country authority; such as “address/state police” or “(country) government authority”. 
4. E-gold Service & CC to web site owner. 

Is there any risk in HYIPs? 

There's risk in any business. If you can’t take a risk, then you can't expect to gain either. The bigger the risk, the bigger the return. These HYIP companies manage their money in the high-risk arena and that’s why they also make such a high profit. So there's always a risk of losing money, which can happen with any business. The same is true if you put your money in the stock market on your own. That’s why it’s always best to spend a comfortable amount you can afford to risk. 

How Much Can I Make?

It depends entirely on how much you spend (obviously the more you spend, the more you make), and the daily percentage of the program (higher daily percentage = more money daily).

How Much Can I Lose?

Again, you can lose as much as you spend. Therefore remember the golden rules of HYIP:

ONLY SPEND WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE, AND DIVERSIFY!

How Much Can I Spend?

Depends on the company. Some companies allow you to SPEND from $1.00, and most have no upper limit. Check the specific company for more details.

How do you Spend in these programs?

Most HYIP’s use different types of e-currency as their way of accepting funds . E-gold is the most used e-currency, but there are also other e-currencies such as Paypal, Intgold, Netpay, Stormpay and many others, which you may see here Other E-Currencies . E-currency has become a very popular way of exchanging money online. It's also used by various merchandise websites as an accepted payment method. 

Given the fact that the HYIP industry is very risky, most people tend to be very reluctant when comes to HYIPs, even if they're legit. There have been cases where people have thought they’ve found an incredible opportunity and happily spent their whole fortune. When the programs later went out of business, the consequences have been devastating. 

Considering both positive and negative aspects of HYIP's, the conclusion is IF the selection of HYIPs is done properly, it can be extremely profitable.

If you enter into any of the programs on the net, it's of your own choosing; realizing that all HYIPs are an arena of high risk. It would be presumptuous to assume ALL programs and opportunities are going to reward you with a return indefinitely; some will fail due to the nature and volatility of this arena.

But, sow enough seeds and many will grow. Long-Term Protection lies in a simple strategy:

D-I-V-E-R-S-I-F-Y

In other words, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

This philosophy and game plan to create income in this internet arena is simple and has been working in spite of the many programs that fail. Getting in the black is the mission here and is attainable IF you follow the 3 rules of HYIP's that we'll discuss very soon.

So ... lets get started.

9 Steps to Getting Started

Before you can get started with High Yield Internet Programs (HYIPs) there are a few things that you'll need to have in place (if you don't already have).

We have broken them up into 10 steps to make it easier to follow. Some of the steps you might already have in place so just 'step' over them and continue with the next one.


1. USERNAME

Choose a online program name for yourself that you'll be using in all the programs from now on. You can use your real name but most people have a 'online name' for use in forums and programs.


2. PASSWORDS

(Ours is *********) :-) Get yourself a password manager. (Manual or Roboform). In some of the e-currency accounts you'll need two passwords. Choose or assign a different one for each program. You'll also need passwords for some Forums and Chat Rooms to participate. If you're not using a manager, get about ten ready. Make them good and at least 12 characters. 

Please Click Here To Visit RoboForm

Roboform software is our personal recommendation for keyless password entry into any program or site that requires a password, and can also be used to quickly access those sites, with one click, that either do or don't require a password. 

It's a great software program that keeps all of your information handy and fills in all kinds of forms. There are those who debate about keeping a program like this on your PC, but if you utilize a full internet security program (like a firewall, anti virus software and spyware removal tools), then this form filler is safe and can do your password entries without using key strokes.

We highly recommend that you go ahead and purchase RoboForm Pro. It has unlimited passcards and you can install unlimited custom info fields. It's the greatest information entry time saver available on the net at this time, and like we said, it will securely enter your saved passwords without keystrokes

It also keeps you from forgetting the entry information to all of your programs, and the data can be backed up, so you wont lose it if your PC crashes. It also stores the URLs you need for entry to your programs. We just cant say enough good things about it and We would probably be lost without it.
 


3. EMAIL ADDRESS

Have your email address handy. Depending on how you're currently working, it might be a good idea to get a second/third email address. Preferably not a free email address like hotmail or yahoo.

Remember all the correspondence relating to HYIP Programs will now go to this email box. You'll also get your program verifications and passwords at this email address. If you're going to refer others to your programs, you might want to have referral mail to come to a different email. 

The only important email address is the one that you'll enter at all the HIYP Programs and e-currency accounts as it may be very difficult to change later due to security reasons. 


4. THE PLAN

"The Plan" is to eventually fund 10 plus programs, and as soon as some pay out widen your programs to up to 30 or more. Your faith in "The Plan" then matures and grows stronger as the overall financial picture, including wins and losses, balances and produces and positive cash flow. The programs themselves individually are not the focus except to try and do as much due diligence as possible so you enter the best 20 that are paying and have the longest track records. It's too easy to want to put ten or twenty grand into a couple programs and be done with it; but it's much safer to fund $500 to $1,000 in twenty different programs that are considered the best programs. Then when one or two fail; it's no big deal. Concentrate on the "PLAN" not the "programs". 

(This is a guideline - you may have your own - but DO HAVE a Plan).  Without a Plan is like taking to the seas without a compass or charts, it's a ship without a rudder. We are serious, make this the corner stone of your program and you won't fail.) There are two parts to this, the Spending Plan and the Timing Plan.

SPENDING PLAN: With your initial funds, select several programs that seem stable. See Passive Income Programs for some of our personal choices. Out of the selected programs you choose, rank them in order from 1 - 7 (best chances of being able to payout to worse, highest to lowest ROS (Return on Spend), or most to least daily time required , etc. whatever your particular requirements are. Some people don't have the time to auto-surf, others have limited funds, but lots of time, etc).

After ranking the 7 or so programs from best to worse, spend the following percentage of your initial funds:

Program 1 - 25%
Program 2 - 20%
Program 3 - 15%
Program 4 - 15%
Program 5 - 10%
Program 6 - 10%
Program 7 - 5%


For example if you're starting with $200 to invest with, you'd spread it out accordingly:

HYIP 1 - $50
HYIP 2 - $40
HYIP 3 - $30
HYIP 4 - $30
HYIP 5 - $20
HYIP 6 - $20
HYIP 7 - $10


This will get you off to a good start. Then as money starts rolling in, you can harvest and re-spend into new programs, or even into the programs your already in. 

TIMING PLAN: Then decide and do a Timing Plan of when you'll re-spend/withdraw your initial spend/withdraw earnings. Decide upfront how much you want to spend and when. Then use the program's rules and set the date that you'll have received your initial spend back. 

Make notes of when, where and how you'll re-spend your profits. Enter dates that you would expect to get profits and then decide what percentages you will re-spend and what you will takeout.

Once you've completed your plan, put it somewhere that you can look at it everyday and take action accordingly. If you make new spends, add them to your plan and keep updating your plan with action dates set all along the way. This way, you'll have no problem in making a good return on your money. The main thing to remember is that you must Stick To The Plan. Sometimes a program looks very tempting to leave funds in and just let it grow. Be careful, this is when your risk just doubles with each period the fund stay out there. Stick to the plan and don't let the greed factor creep in!

How long does it take to become a millionaire with an HYIP?

Let's assume you start with $500 to invest. 

Here's how long it would take to go from $500 to $1,000,000 at various rates of interest compounded monthly using an online High Yield Investment Program.

5%________Forever! (Almost)
10%_______6 years 8 months
15%_______5 years 6 months
17.5%_____ 4 years
20%_______3 years 6 months
30%_______2 years 5 months
40%_______1 year 11 months
50%_______1 year 7 months
60%_______1 year 5 months
70%_______1 year 3 months
80%_______1 year 1 month
90%_______1 year
100%______11 months
110%______11 months
120%______10 months
130%______10 months (+2 weeks)
140%______9 months
150%______9 months


There are some interesting things to learn from this chart. 

From 5% to 10% there is a massive drop in time, there is another pretty big drop at 20%, a smaller but worthwhile drop at 30%, again at 40% and marginally at 50%, but from there each 10% more has a rather small effect.

From 80% to 150% notice that even though you have almost double the interest (added 70% to it) you only shave 4 months off the time (reduced the time it takes by about 30%)

Making a bar graph of the above (with 10%, 20%, 30% up to 100%) will show you what the best percentages are. 

Bar Graph - Time in months to become a Millionaire

How long to go from $500 to $1,000,000 at various rates of interest compounded monthly? 

10%   llllllllllll llllllllllll llllllllllll llllllllllll llllllllllll llllllllllll llllllll
15%   llllllllllll llllllllllll llllllllllll llllllllllll llllllllllll llllll
20%   llllllllllll llllllllllll llllllllllll llllll
30%   llllllllllll llllllllllll lllll
40%   llllllllllll lllllllllll
50%   llllllllllll lllllll
60%   llllllllllll lllll
70%   llllllllllll lll
80%   llllllllllll l
90%   llllllllllll
100% lllllllllll
110% lllllllllll
120% llllllllll
130% llllllllll
140% lllllllll
150% lllllllll

The graph shows us very clearly that between 30% and 50% is the best range.

However, 20% is a big advantage over 10% that's for sure, and is the first really worthwhile interest. 

Later on, you'll want more security and you'll have a broader base of more secure lower paying programs to provide it. You can go on vacation without worrying that your Very High Yield risky fund has collapsed and taken a large percentage of your "float" with it.

Of course, all the above is based on the assumption that something that gives a 60% interest per month is more than 3 times riskier than 20%. (and will have less than 1/3rd the life span). 

Not always true, but a rule of thumb. You've got to remember that none of these is like the "spend and forget about it" rules of conventional 3% a year federally insured bank accounts. It's like being an independent adult. You can lose. No one is going to take that loss for you. But let us tell you this, the rewards are much greater also, and they are ALL yours when you earn them by your own self-discipline, persistence and experience. 


5. OPEN YOUR E-CURRENCY ACCOUNTS

Use a list of the programs you intend to participate in step 4 above and then list the e-currency accounts working in each program.

The rates at E-Currency accounts is less than at others like Stormpay but Stormpay is easier to use with credit cards as you don't need to fund upfront.

Now open these e-currency accounts:

[Click here for E-Gold] [Click here for INTGold] [Click here for StormPay]

If you don't already have e-currency accounts, we suggest opening them right away. E-gold and INTGold are the most widely used e-currencies amongst HYIPs and are free to join. The most prudent thing to do is open an account with ALL three though.


6. VERIFICATION

You'll need to verify your ID with some of the e-currency accounts to be able to withdraw funds later. (And in some cases to fund your account). This is mostly for your security, and also to verify that you're not laundering money. To do this, you'll be required to send a copy of your Driver License/Passport photo ID, Utility Bill, etc. See individual programs for requirements.


7. FUND YOUR GOLD ACCOUNTS

It's very important that you fund these accounts prior to joining any program. Most programs require you to spend immediately upon joining or give you a time limit to make your first spend. The links below are AUTHORIZED EXCHANGERS.

Authorized exchangers are able to accept your money and exchange it to e-currency. Each one has their own set of fees and instructions. Read over them carefully to learn how to get your account funded. Best to choose one that will do it all for you. They're in no particular order.

To fund your INTGold account using your credit card:

To fund your INTGold account using a bank wire:


8. FOLLOW THE 3 RULES OF HYIP  - Simple as 1, 2, 3

Rule #1 - Don't play with the milk money! In other words, never use funds you can't afford to lose. Do not max out your credit cards or spend money that you need to live on. Do not deplete your savings or put your financial health at risk, EVER! ...Got it? ;o)

Rule #2 - Your Principle is your PAL. Recover your principle. Be sure to pay yourself back your initial spend as soon as possible so you can plant the next harvest. 

Rule #3 - DIVERSIFY! Spread out whatever amount you have to work with into at least 5-10 programs (minimum) to reduce your risk. Never put all your eggs in one basket. If one venture goes sour you still have the others intact to produce income. Some will go sour! If you don't enter this arena intending to fund many different programs overall before you're done; you shouldn't be playing here at all - you'll get burned. Funding two to three programs with large amounts is financial suicide; just like it is in the stock market. Just like the "Mutual Fund" approach, focus on the overall "Plan"; not on a single program or two. 

Build your program list up to no less then seven to ten, it may take time but this is the proper way. Do not, we repeat, Do NOT, lay your faith on a single program or two. It can destroy you and make you bitter and blind in this arena. 

Remember to also be patient - We only had to "burn our hands on the stove" one time to learn that lesson! Smart money stays in an income-earning position. Impatient money always loses, always!


9. FUND

If you got this far and all has gone according to plan (expect that there may be a few delays as verification sometimes take a day or two), you should now do your initial spends in all the programs. Visit the sites daily or as often as you can. See your money grow and monitor the accumulated funds. Remember, take out your initial spend as soon as possible. Now use your plan and follow it daily. Make changes to your plan as and when required.


Additional HYIP Tips

For Beginning HYIP Investors
For Intermediate HYIP Investors
For Advanced HYIP Investors

Tips for those Beginning In HYIP  

Tip #1: Don't let large amounts accumulate; take smaller profits often and you'll see REAL money. Even from the most stable programs; take funds back often. Taking small amounts of profit along the way, versus letting a larger amount accumulate before a program goes sour will allow you to see real money instead of missing out on what you thought you had.

Tip #2: Don't jump into new programs right away. We know; "ground floor opportunity, first in gets the worm". Wrong! Truth is, MANY programs never make it through launch. The facts?? If it's good this week, it will be good next week or a month or three months from now. Let the program establish a payout history with good customer service before putting money into them. With some exceptions, we don't really join new programs right off the bat. If they're still around in another month and everyone who's in them is happy with the program, then it's time to take another look at it. One way to check is to read each program's member forums.

Tip #3: Don't put large amounts of money into newbie programs no matter how good they look or how well they come recommended. Time is of the essence.  We can name many programs last year who paid out for three or four months and then POOF!... vanished within thin air into cyberspace. 

Just as everyone got comfortable with them and started putting some real money into them; they disappeared. Continue using the same strategy of recouping seed money ASAP and building your portfolio with half the profits each time the program pays out; and putting half the profits into your pocket each payout. Small profits in lots of programs beats a big loss in a single program or two. 

Tip #4: Anticipate some rough water ahead and weather it out while the administrative end of some programs catches up with the trading and sign-ups as enrollments escalate. Most programs with small Admin Staff have no concept of how many people can enter a program off the net in a short period of time. It doesn't take long to get in a real pickle admin-wise. And remember, only fund programs that have real contact people; like real email, phone and fax numbers to communicate with, real snail mail addresses and places of business. DON'T do business when the program gives you only an e-gold account number to do a spend to and a ziplip, hushmail, hotmail, or yahoo address as the only means of communicating with them. 

The Internet Arena works at producing income for those willing to apply the rules above, but it's a vicious minefield for the uneducated and the "I'll do it my way-ers". 

A good philosophy to apply in this arena is best described by Alexander Graham Bell 1847-1922, Inventor and Teacher of the Deaf: "When one door closes another one opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." This is very true in this arena.
 


Tips For Those Intermediate In HYIP  (For those of you who have been active in HYIPs for over 2 months)

If you're one of those people who've been active in HYIPs for over 2 months, you've probably already gotten a sense of what kind of returns you're capable of making. However, even experts need a strategy. Here's a strategy that we feel works well for the novice in HYIP's:

Remember, the key to long term success is "diversity". Without diversity, that $1000 that you've spent in only 3 programs could easily evaporate in minutes. Even though a lot of program admins don't admit it, a lot of programs really use their funds to spend into other HYIP's

If you're only in 3 programs - Programs A, B, & C - your risk of having a domino loss of your funds is more likely. For example, Program A is a huge successful program that's been running for 2 years. They've gotten everyone's confidence, including the confidence of program B. Program B spends 1/2 of all their funds into program A, expecting the returns to continue. Program C's admin, on the other hand, is great friends with the admin of Program B. He has 100% confidence that Program B's admin won't run off with the money, and spends 60% of their funds into Program B. 

Everyone thinks they're secure, until Program A loses all its money by hiring a bad Forex Trader. In turn, Program A can no longer afford to pay, so they close up. Program B then loses 1/2 of its weekly revenue, since this money was in Program A, and decide that they no longer can afford to payout. Program C, then loses 60% of its revenue, and also closes up. All this can happen in less then one week. Your $1000 into 3 programs, that seemed very stable, has vanished into thin air.

This is exactly why diversification is so very important. When you're spending large amounts (by large amounts, we usually mean over $1000), you should spread this money across at least 8-10 stable programs. This will prevent you from suffering a domino collapse of massive proportions. Those 8-10 Programs you pick should be a mixture of daily, weekly, and monthly payers. What typically works well is that you distribute your funds like this:

Daily Payers - 25%
Weekly Payers - 45%
Monthly Payers - 30%

How to pick a stable HYIP - Daily, Weekly, or Monthly payers?

HYIP's are usually set up to pay a percentage of your deposit back in Daily, Weekly, or Monthly payouts. Are any of these payment structures more secure and reliable then the others? 

We have found that different payment structures lead to different states of security and longevity of an HYIP. As a general rule, the least secure of these structures are the daily paying programs, although some have been around for almost 2 years and going strong. These programs usually claim to offer anywhere from 0.5%-7% per day (Gold games often offer much more then this per day. Stay away from all gold games unless you're a gambler). 

We have found that Weekly paying programs, followed closely by Monthly payers, have been much, much more reliable in the long run. Sure you'll find scams in weekly and monthly programs; however, the risk is slightly less then that of daily paying programs. 

It's hard to say exactly why Weekly and Monthly programs tend to last longer and be more secure then Daily paying programs. Perhaps it's because Daily paying programs don't have the ability to spend their funds into long term less risky places, while weekly and monthly payers can spend their funds into more stable longer term places. This also allows them to compound their funds. A program will only last as long as it's funds  payoff a greater percentage then they have to pay to their members. This is why you're probably better off by placing your funds into a variable weekly paying program. 
 


Tips For Those Advanced In HYIP.

In reality, we shouldn't be giving strategy to those experienced in HYIP, since they've probably already made profits and know what works best for them. By being experienced, we mean you've gone through the ups and downs with HYIPs and learned what works and what doesn't.

Diversification was the key for the beginners and the novice . Diversification is also the key for the experienced , but it's a little more manipulative. All active in HYIP no matter how experienced you are and no matter what you're involved in,should diversify. 

However for those experienced in HYIP , diversification means spending in more then 4-5 programs rather then 8-10. As one becomes experienced in the field, they learn what types of programs pay, and what ones turn out to be scams. Usually at any time, there are at least 5 top HYIPs out there that have been paying for a while and don't show signs of failure. Being experienced, you would diversify your funds among these 5 programs. 

Should you spend more in one than the other?

That's really up to you. However, keeping the spends in each program within 20% of each other. For example, if you have $10,000 to start with, your breakdown would look something like this:

Program #1 - $2,000
Program #2 - $2,400
Program #3 - $1,600
Program #4 - $1,800
Program #5 - $2,200

About Firewalls

This section is reprinted from Shields Up

A firewall ABSOLUTELY ISOLATES your computer from the Internet using a "wall of code" that inspects each individual "packet" of data as it arrives at either side of the firewall - inbound to or outbound from your computer - to determine whether it should be allowed to pass or be blocked.

How does a Firewall Work?

All internet communication is accomplished by the exchange of individual "packets" of data. Each packet is transmitted by its source machine toward its destination machine. Packets are the fundamental unit of information flow across the Internet. 

Even though we refer to "connections" between computers, this "connection" is actually comprised of individual packets traveling between those two "connected" machines. Essentially, they "agree" that they're connected and each machine sends back "acknowledgement packets" to let the sending machine know that the data was received.

In order to reach its destination - whether it's another computer two feet away or two continents distant - every Internet packet must contain a destination address and port number. And, so that the receiving computer knows who sent the packet, every packet must also contain the IP address and a port number of the originating machine. 

In other words, any packet traveling the net contains - first and foremost - its complete source and destination addresses. As we've seen earlier on this site, an IP address always identifies a single machine on the Internet and the port is associated with a particular service or conversation happening on the machine.

Look what this means! . . .

Since the firewall software inspects each and every packet of data as it arrives at your computer - BEFORE it's seen by any other software running within your computer - the firewall has total veto power over your computer's receipt of anything from the Internet.

A TCP/IP port is only "open" on your computer if the first arriving packet which requests the establishment of a connection is answered by your computer. If the arriving packet is simply ignored, that port of your computer will effectively disappear from the Internet. No one and nothing can connect to it!

But the real power of a firewall is derived from its ability to be selective about what it lets through and what it blocks. Since every arriving packet must contain the correct IP address of the sender's machine, (in order for the receiver to send back a receipt acknowledgement) the firewall can be selective about which packets are admitted and which are dropped. It can "filter" the arriving packets based upon any combination of the originating machine's IP address and port and the destination machine's IP address and port.

So, for example, if you were running a web server and needed to allow remote machines to connect to your machine on port 80 (http), the firewall could inspect every arriving packet and only permit connection initiation on your port 80. 

New connections would be denied on all other ports. Even if your system were to inadvertently pick up a Trojan horse virus program which opened a Trojan listening port to the outside world, no passing Trojan scanner could detect or know of the Trojan's existence since all attempts to contact the Trojan inside your computer would be blocked by the firewall!

Or suppose that you wish to create a secure "tunnel" across the Internet to allow your home and office computers to share their files without any danger of unauthorized intrusion. Firewall technology makes this possible and relatively simple.

We hope we have conveyed some sense for the powerful benefits and features created by firewalls. At a cost ranging from $29 to $39 USD, these personal firewalls are a terrific bargain!

THE MECHANICAL FIREWALL

A mechanical firewall, such as a NAT router or a DSL modem, and software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, System Suites Net Defense, Norton Personal Firewall, and others too numerous to mention.

A NAT router, such as Linksys, actually acts as a mechanical barrier between the internet and your PC. There are many on the market and a good computer store will carry a good selection of the best of them. Be sure, though, that your system has one of the following, an ETHERNET or a USB port present and open.

This will be necessary to utilize a NAT router. If you don't have this on your PC, then you can purchase a PCI card that will add this to your system. The ETHERNET connection is the preferred connector for a router. A DSL modem also acts as a mechanical barrier between the internet and your PC. Most of the time if a hacker sends a mass ping out, a DSL modem, or a router is what he will see on the ping. Not your computer. Regular dial-up, and cable modems are not quite as secure as DSL. So, if you want to really be secure, then start with a NAT router. If you have DSL, then you wont need a router unless you want to link to the net with several computers.

THE SOFTWARE FIREWALL

A software firewall, in a way sort of confuses a hackers attempts and even in some cases logs the hackers attempts at entry into your system. Software firewalls can be an extremely effective way to thwart a hacker and protect your sensitive data. 

You can set a software firewall to conform to your individual needs and most software firewalls have a good help system and directions to aid you in the setup of the software. A good software firewall enhances and strengthens a good mechanical firewall. 

A mechanical and a software firewall work hand-in-hand with each other to make your system invisible to hackers.

There are several good firewall programs available, and a search via google using "firewall" as this subject will get you a list of them to look over.
 


Spyware

Spyware is another thing to consider when developing your personal internet security. 

Spyware is very sneakily installed on your computer via free programs, toolbars, smiley face programs, email program addons and even via autosurfing programs. It also can enter, and so can viruses, in your email as it comes into your computer daily. 

Spyware sits in your computer and reads your sensitive data and surfing habits and details of the sites you visit, and sends the info to the person or persons who did the sneaky install. It is not a very ethical thing to do, but it is done to almost everyone everyday. 

There are many good stand alone anti-spyware programs available for free download. These include SpyBot Search and Destroy, Spyware Guard, and many others. Again, a search via google will turn up many choices. Just enter "spyware" as the subject.


Virus Protection

Spyware can enter your computer in the form of Virus, or Worms, and also Trojans. A Trojan is named after the "Gift Horse" used in the war between Greece and Troy. And it comes in the form of an innocent or inconspicuous file or program. It gets into your system and sends out information such as passwords and ID names to the person, or persons, who installed it or sent it to your PC.

A worm gets into your system by innocent means such as email attachments etc. A virus can enter your system via any download or email or attachment to an email.

Viruses are the most destructive kind of PC invasion. Some viruses, once activated, can totally destroy your system's BIOS and can totally wipe out your hard drive. So a good anti-virus program is vital to good internet security.

So...in summary...A top level internet security system will consist of a Mechanical Firewall...a Software Firewall...a good Anti-Spyware program...and a good Anti-Virus program. We Are  going to list a few of the programs available for a price and a key word to use to access a variety of free and paid for options later in this guide.

A good program to self test your security online is called Shields Up. Here is the link to use it

Gold Currencies

Most, if not all HYIPs use Gold Currencies for funding Program Accounts. Gold Currencies link together financial institutions and markets across the globe in a way that allows instantaneous value transfers with a fraction of the paperwork and fraud associated with traditional bank wires and credit cards. 

Here are some of the reasons that Gold Currencies are the best way to do business on or off the Net! They're cheaper! Transaction costs using credit cards or PayPal range from 2.5% to 4.5%. International bank wires cost, on average, $40 to $70 using Western Union.

Gold Currencies allow transactions to take place from as low as 0.1% to 1% on the very high end (e-gold). In other words, the cheapest Gold Currency on the net allows online transactions for FORTY-FIVE TIMES LESS than credit cards. 

Here's another thing. Bank wires in-country take at least three days to clear. International bank wires can take up to three weeks to clear! 

Gold Currencies solve these problems by allowing INSTANTANEOUS and NON-REVERSIBLE transactions! Gold Currencies solve that problem by allowing instantaneous transfers of money anywhere in the world! 

As the network of exchange agents and market makers grows, it's now possible to quickly and easily convert your digital currency to cash in any country in the world. 

Some Gold Currency Debit Cards allow account holders to withdraw their converted gold or silver bullion to cash through any ATM machine on the planet! This means that no matter where you are, if you can find an ATM machine, you can convert your Gold Currency into cash in the local currency!

There are several companies now offering Gold Currency linked debit cards. Gold Currencies are safe! Credit card fraud is becoming increasingly prevalent as hackers steal card numbers from computer networks, crooks root through your garbage and steal your identity, and other nefarious thieves devise ways to get your account number. 

Digital Currencies offer a higher level of security than credit cards. Even the lowest level of security for digital money, an account number and password, is a magnitude safer than a credit card. All a thief needs to steal a credit card is the account number. With digital currencies the merchant never sees your password, so it is impossible for a thief to steal it, unless you give it to him yourself (by letting him access your computer - see our article on protecting your computer from hackers). 

Gold Money supports digital certificates for customer identification. These certificates cryptographically verify that you are you. This makes it more difficult for thieves from accessing your account. 

Gold Currencies allow one thing that credit cards never will: Person to Person Payments. 

Gold Currencies Allow You to Protect Your Privacy! 

It's a known fact that traditional banks keep massive database tracking all of your account activity in the name of "know your customer" and "fighting the war on drugs". 

But in reality, we all know that those banks conveniently use those databases to sell information about their customers spending habits to other companies, and governments use that data to find excuses to confiscate your money and property. So, not only does your government have access to all of your spending habits, but so does any individual or organization who wants to buy it. 

Most Gold Currencies are based in "capital-friendly" jurisdictions with strict privacy protection laws. For someone to get your account information they have to obtain a court order in the country that your Gold Currency is housed. 

This means that true crimes can be prosecuted, but that your privacy will remain intact if you're just an average law abiding customer. Think of it as guaranteeing yourself the right to "due process". 

Furthermore, money laundering is not really an issue since you have to spend your national money (such as dollars) through an exchange agent in order to purchase Digital Currency in the first place. 

Since exchange agents all have accounts at banks with anti-money-laundering practices in place, this means that all money used to purchase digital currencies is theoretically "clean". Clean money in, clean money out! 

So, Gold Currencies are able to provide privacy to their customers, and still be able to guarantee that they're not being used for money laundering. As long as all the money coming in and out goes through banks with anti-money laundering practices in place, then money laundering is impossible. 

Furthermore, all of the Gold Currencies in business at this time are firmly committed to discouraging crime and money laundering, while at the same time protecting the privacy of their account holders. 

Why use Gold Currencies for HYIP? Because they're cheaper, faster, safer, global, and private.
