4. It depends if you just disable Wi-Fi, or if you don't have the hardware. Removing wireless radio, microphone and camera might be hard on laptops, so it depends on hardware you have. I wanted to note that staying anonymous with whole physical (or even a virtual) machine compromised might be

Any software can have flaws. The only distinction between ethernet and wifi in that regards is that WiFi can be exploited by anyone within RF range regardless whether they're authenticated to the same network or not; ethernet requires a physical connection. -- You received this message
