The Internet is even more powerful at protecting privacy than it is
at destroying it.

... for low-latency systems like Tor, end-to-end traffic
correlation attacks [8, 21, 31] allow an attacker who can observe
both ends of a communication to correlate packet timing and volume,
quickly linking the initiator to her destination.

| IS THIS ANONYMOUS BROWSING, OR WHAT?! |
| |
|__________________________________________|
The url at is-not-my.name Internet page fetcher [1] allows the reading of
Internet content with strong anonymity. An encrypted request is sent
through a chain of anonymizing remailers and content is returned
encrypted in Usenet newsgroup alt.anonymous.messages. No one, not
even the is-not-my.name administrator, is able to link content being
fetched with any particular user, or with other requests.
Here are some scripts to facilitate use of url at is-not-my.name.
There are two main scripts:
uinmyn-fetch-body.py
-- code URLs into a request and save the key
uinmyn-do-aam-article.py
-- extract pages from returned a.a.m. articles
Given a (short) list of URLs, uinmyn-fetch-body.py generates a random
key for the encryption and hsub of the reply, saves the key in a local
database, and constructs the body of the request, encrypted and ready
to send through a remailer chain.
Each message from a.a.m. is then fed to uinmyn-do-aam-article.py. If
the message matches a key in the database, the key is removed from the
database, the decrypted message is saved for further processing, and
the script returns with a positive code. Otherwise, the script gives
a negative code.
The net effect, if all goes well, is that the pages addressed by URLs
submitted to uinmyn-fetch-body.py show up, after privacy-protecting
remailer random latencies. No record leaves the requester's site of
who accessed the pages.
Also provided here are minor support scripts to list the URLs in a
given reply, and to insert page content into the browser-accessible
cache provided by wwwoffle [2].
Return codes from uinmyn-do-aam-article.py are useful for procmail,
which might be checking the same message for other hits. The
following .procmailrc clause sequence will send the decrypted "inner
posting" to local-recipient.

Out of respect for your privacy, uinmyn does not require you to access
any web site for its installation or use (though you may if you wish:
mailto:stealthsuite at nym.mixmin.net?subject=send%20index.html).
Everything is right here in this posting.
ABOUT THE CODE
Succinctness and readability are given priority here over efficiency.
If efficiency becomes an issue, there are lots of opportunities here
for speedup.
These scripts are meant mainly as hints for you to adapt to the needs
of your particular case. But they could be used verbatim if you like.
INSTALLATION
Have python, gnupg, and mixmaster installed.
Have the send at is-not-my.name public key on your gnupg keyring.
Copy the scripts from below to somewhere on your executables path.
Of course, you are taking a full feed of a.a.m at all times without
interruption, separating wheat from chaff only after it's all behind
closed doors. Otherwise, the world is informed about which articles
you find interesting.
Remember, long random latency is part of the price of anonymity. It
can't be done with TOR or any other low-latency method.
EXAMPLE
Typing
uinmyn-fetch-body.py db | mixmaster url at is-not-my.name
http://www.banana.mixmin.net
^D
will send a request for http://www.banana.mixmin.net. The key is
added to db, which need not have existed beforehand. (It's plain
ASCII, so you can look at it to better understand what's happening.)
Later, in a directory full of fresh a.a.m articles, the command
for f in *; do uinmyn-do-aam-article.py db < $f >> mbox; done
will append the requested content to mbox if it has arrived.

BUGS
Encryption/hsub keys are exposed briefly during a.a.m. processing.
CHANGE LOG
0.06
Add time-stamps to database entries to facilitate removal of old,
stale entries.
Changed slogan from "Is this anonymous surfing, or what?".
Documentation improvements.
0.05
Quote URL in uinmyn-do-aam-article.py against shell interpretation.
0.04
Did TODO item:
Use PIPE for the gpg stdin in uinmyn-do-aam-article.py.
(eliminating previous stupid size limit).
0.03
Add "decode=True" in uinmyn-to-wwwoffle-cache.py to capture coded
files, such as .pdfs.
Change the www.bananasplit.info reference to www.banana.mixmin.net.
0.02
Add a script to enter gotten pages into a local browser-accessible
cache.
Improvements to the documentation.
Here are the scripts.
