This alias into the CDR is NOT intended as a general anonymizing feature (irrespective of whether I happen to delete logs or not). It is ONLY meant to obfuscate the source of traffic from current list subscribers (not parties outside the list which might be using technical or other means to execute traffic analysis). If you need true anonymity then please consider using the following: - Always(!) use 'throw away' or 'one shot' accounts. NEVER use the same account or physical access point twice. NEVER use an account you pay for with a check or credit card. Remember that video is quite prevelant in todays society so be aware that identifying the location of the source, even if financial instruments aren't used, may be sufficient to identify you. - Use an anonymizing service outside of the SSZ domain to increase the points of attack required to uncover the source. - Modify your text style; review favorite words or phrases and avoid them completely. If possible run your text through a translation service (eg source -> Spanish -> source) and then edit the resultant. If you do use an online translation service use an anonymizing service for this access as well. - Don't use sig's and such. - Avoid closed source software as there is a history for this class of technology to add identifying items to the material they generate. In an ideal world you would compile the source yourself after reviewing the source code (including the compiler mind you). However, given the general state of technical skills, this is not likely. One approach might be to take binaries, of the same rev level and compiled with the same compiler and library rev's, of a given tool from different sites and then compare them for any differences. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Day by day the Penguins are making me lose my mind.
