Just wondering ... in a life & death situation (say, blackmailing att. general), what would be the choice of readers of this forum:
a) use mixmaster remailer from their home/business/friend.
Like that one-degree of separation is comforting...
b) use an internet cafe
Your face might be recognized later. Willing to shave for the transmission and then go on vacation to regrow the mane?
c) use an open wireless AP
Bingo. Use a rented car. Or better, stolen :-)
b and c assume, of course, one-time use of a throwaway e-mail acct.
Why bother even establishing one? Simply use a fake name and domain that your SMTP server takes. Works for me :-) [1] though I don't get personal replies -not something you want anyway for your task. [1] Though header-stripping lne.com can trace me ---real anonymity would require b) or c) or a trusted a) (only without my end being observed before the fact).
c) makes most sense to me, provided that you fake your radio card's MAC and do it while walking by, with folded laptop in a bag running a script.
Or treat your fixed-MAC card as a one-time-use disposable and torch the thing. Along with the laptop, probably. Separately.
