| I understand that the second part has to do with a strategy for doxing, which is fine, but why would it be appendaged to White Hat's strategy like that (and especially with an 'even though')? The entire paragraph following is just a description of how one could use this to attack the participant, but the whole point of the comic was to show that a brief Google search could give you the same results. If anyone could clear that up, it would be helpful.

− | : As you mentioned, White Hat's basic argument is there are already public databases of names and addresses. If that's all the information Hairy needs, then Hairy's more elaborate scheme is unnecessary. The quote you mention is a counterargument to White Hat's point: If Hairy is actually trying to steal the identity of some *specific* online users and all Hairy knows is a pseudonymous username like e.g. turnitup91, then Hairy can't find out anything more about them from the public databases alone. Hairy's more elaborate scheme may actually make sense in such a case.

− | :: White Hat's argument only works for certain countries, since voter databases of 20-60 years ago (needed to obtain the childhood address through the parents voter registration) are neiher public record nor available on google for most countries. --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.229.94|108.162.229.94]] 20:50, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

− | : And that's the purpose of the quote: Even though White Hat is correct about the public databases, that's not enough if you're trying to de-anonymize someone specific and all you have is a pseudonym. [[User:Gertuviti|Gertuviti]] ([[User talk:Gertuviti|talk]]) 15:53, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

− | Folks: do a little Googling. 420 69th, New York is the address of "The Church of the Dildo Dude" [[User:Cellocgw|Cellocgw]] ([[User talk:Cellocgw|talk]]) 16:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

− | In New York there are actually several 420 69th streets. Most of them are going to be boring. There is one in Brooklyn, but that is a private residence and we shouldn’t bother the people there.

| |
− | In Manhattan there are a 69th street East and a 96th Street West. 420 East is part of New York Presbyterian Hospital and Cornell Medical School. While you are likely to find sex (therapists) and (medical) marijuana there it’s a long, low (for Manhattan) building.

− | On the other side of Manhattan there is a high rise in the right spot, Trump Place. They use Riverside Blvd as the mailing address to avoid this issue. It is however a high rise. :)
