Junkbusters (http://www.junkbusters.com/) offers a personal proxy server kind of thing that lets you mash just about everything: HTTP headers, user agent info, referer URL, cookies, etc. It runs on either NT or Unix
Yep, I've got it running on www.myriad.ml.org:8000. It works great - the only site I've had problems with so far is nytimes (it tries to set a cookie when you log in as cypherpunks/cypherpunks)
Junkbusters works very nicely for me. I highly recommend it. A warning about cookies: no proxy server I know can stop the server from trying to set the cookie by a) putting a <META HTTP-EQUIV="Cookie:" CONTENT="foo=bar;expires..."> in the header; b) if you have JavaScript enabled (not a good idea), running something like <SCRIPT SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"><!-- document.cookie="foo=bar;expires=Sunday, 04-Jul-2010 00:00:00 GMT;path=/";//--></SCRIPT> You need to tell the browser to turn off the cookies even if you have an anti-cookie prixy server. Cookies and the NYTIMES subscription: NYTIMES.COM tries to store your userid and password in the cookie with keywords PW= and ID=. Problem is, it tries to encode them using 8-bit characters. Lucky for us, at this time NYTIMES.COM does not check if userid/password are valid, just that they're a part of the cookie!! So, just add these two lines to your junkbuster config: wafer PW=0 wafer ID=0 and nytimes.com will greet you as "0" and let you right in. Sure junkbuster feeds every wafer to every server, but I don't care. If you really want to send "cypherpunks", replace both 0s by the character representation of the hex string a1252e36392c2e2930332bdf. I'm not even trying to mail it verbatim because I know it would get mangled. Another site that uses weakly encrypted cookies is DEJANEWS.COM. For them, I've added these two lines to junkbuster config: wafer GTUID=03.35644.0.0.1145.00000 wafer DNUID=02717fb0f47d3544510927a15805ab3640987332e4ed6e58e78660744bc8320d260963691c27f34ef4b292e93258a7c7a6ea6b78200c6ade8f378833d6d5 This lets you post as cypherpunks@anonymous.crypto.conspirators.int and if and when dejanews locks it out, drop me a line and I'll cook up another one. :-) (Warning: when you post to usenet via dejanews, it adds your ip address to the header; use a proxy.)
