> TCP stack can be fingerprinted How does that apply to Tor? It uses custom packets. The entry node may be able to obtain a TCP fingerprint but that's all.

It's not surprising that JS would out you, what I am wondering if whether or not volunteering OS information is foolish when it may not be possible to determine without JS. Why give up information when you don't have to? Some peop

I believe they used to make the user-agent appear to belong to Windows but then they stopped doing it with the excuse that there are other ways to tell anyway. The OS doesn't really matter, the amount of entropy it contains is very low

Even Tor Browser (/mullvad-browser) gave up trying to obscure the operating system though arguably they shouldn't have. There appear to be too many fingerprinting vectors.

Properly configured (including strict seccomp) bwrap on its own will be sufficient 99% of the time. But ultimately you are at the mercy of the enormous kernel attack surface and the 0days that result from it. If you do anything valuable and

That's good to hear! Hopefully the passt approach you are pursuing will include the ability to use an existing passt socket and not just launch one for you. Wayland is tricky because there are memory buffers being shared between the co

The simplest worthwhile DIY sandbox you can have is to layer two tools: bwrap and gvisor. bwrap args -- gvisor args do args -- /path/sandboxee args bwrap will set up the environment and then gvisor elevates it into a tru

Identity theft is a thing. And if you gate a desirable commodity behind an identity it will become even more of a thing. There are 100's of millions of identities to steal.

I believe it's a great deal worse than that. All the metacognitive insight we do have may just be confabulation and we are fooled into believing that we have it because the process for conjuring it is good at finding a plausible answer

Yes, with blind signatures you still have a central authority which voluntarily 'launders' tokens for you. When you present it your certificate and ask it to give you a blind signature it can reject the certificate. However if som

The way it would work with blind signatures is that the server will know the device that comes to it to request a blinded signature and will be able to rate limit how often that device asks it. But once you get the response you can unblind

This is not sufficient. Do they give you a blind signature? Because what you described does not preserve your anonymity if the government and the service collude.
