copying from last thread

hello lads i saw recently on xmrbazaar a piece of software that supposedly mimics human network traffic to confuse trackers. is this a real tool that exists and is there a foss or even oss version of this? i am very interested in the concept as i would like to get mullvad and route all my networks traffic through the vpn but only if i can avoid profiling, which this would help with.

>>107518995
idk, sounds like some data exhilaration mallware. the better course of action would be to minimize outgoing requests and use proxies when you want to hide your IP address

Think about how stupid the average poster in this thread is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

>>107522506

did you mean median

Still enjoying Technofeudalism, still recommend it, he absolutely embarrassed himself in a part of chapter 4 where he claimed that index funds like BlackRock and vanguard only started mattering after 2008, and his natural bias makes him paint vanguard as a malevolent entity when it's probably the most ethical type of it's firm possible and Jack Bogle literally gave up being a billionaire in order to ensure you get your fair returns of the stock market


He also has another profound insight that is incredibly true and I agree with: Apple doesn't give a shit about your privacy because they give a shit about your privacy, they give a shit about your privacy (only when you use their platform) because they don't want Facebook and Google also being able to exploit you while you're a serf in Apple's digital fief

Here's a question to /cyb/+/psg/.

Are there certain countries who you don't trust when it comes to tech? Maybe you don't trust China, or Israel, or the US, or Russia, etc?

Pic related.

Telegram is so dead now. Now i cant even find gifs of people counting 100 dollar bills or holding wads of cash.

>>107523879
Have you never taken a statistics course? On a normal distribution, the mean and median are the same. Also, do you not recognize that is an old George Carlin joke?

>>107525747

now you're playing semantics to save yourself

>>107525772
You're the one playing semantics. You thought you would be clever because you knew what the definition of the median was, but failed to take into account that: 1) on a normal distribution (and intelligence would definitely qualify as one) those two measures of centrality are the same, 2) it's a famous joke from the 20th century (braindead zoomers like yourself wouldn't catch that), and 3) speaking of normal distributions, you're definitely two sigma below the median as far as intelligence goes.

>>107525636
I don't use Telegram because it's probably Russian spyware

>>107525611
>Israel, or the US,
Yes, those two mainly. 99.9% of cyber threats/attacks are their fault. Mainly the first, consideringbthat they proudly sell mallware to whoever asks and has the money.

>>107526252
>99.9% of cyber threats/attacks are their fault

>>107526430
I've never seen anyone this assblasted over a simple joke. Either way, IQ, as we measure it, is designed to follow a symmetric, normal distribution. There is no consensus empirical distribution for "true" intelligence independent of how it is measured.

>>107526553

the usa is a giant empire that hacks tons of locations. india is a major partner and the source of modern fentanyl. the philippines is next to china and run by drug dealers.

>>107526653
Including themselves? If so, why don't they dare take a peek at what the "greatest ally" is doing? My point is, the united states of israel is responsible for 99.9% of cyber attacks worldwide. Simply blocking all israeli IPs prevents god knows per month (anywhere from 400 to over 70'000 when a new exploit is discovered/released) Source: our IP logs. Anyone with an internet facing company will attest to what I'm saying.

>>107526777

yeah, the usa hacks their own people and companies all the time.

>>107526787
Yes, exactly. They are the war nation, both physical and digital. It's what keeps them alive, the endless wars. Anytime anyone else does 1% of what they do, they rush in their press and start another infromation war. How much does the US and allied media cover the NSO, Intellexa, Citrox, QuaDream and the other western mallware vendors? But look how they freak out when they are breached ONCE.

Some takeaways from chapter 6 of technofeudalism:

Bretton Woods destroyed the world of finance because Nixon rugpulled the world by promising the world they could exchange their USD for gold and then went "nuh uh" so that forced the whole world to treat USD as the new gold/IOU

>>107527712
I have no idea why the following paragraph is filtered

>>107526315
>evil countries were infected by malware
Er, based?

Ignorant question here. Is there a series of magic words in the USA that I can email to any corporation for which I have or had an account with that effectively gets them to forget I ever existed? I worry that any sort of "account deletion" or whatever just closes my account and they keep all my data. Maybe there's some CCPA loophole where I can get a full data deletion accomplished with a VPN exit node in CA?

https://9to5linux.com/tails-7-3-1-anonymous-linux-os-released-with-tor-browser-15-0-3-and-tor-0-4-8-21
>Coming a month after Tails 7.2, the Tails 7.3.1 release updates the default web browser to the latest Tor Browser 15.0.3, a major update based on Mozilla Firefox 140 ESR that introduces exciting features like support for vertical tabs and tab groups, as well as a new unified search button in the address bar.
>Tails 7.3.1 also updates the Tor client/server to version 0.4.8.21, and the default email client to Mozilla Thunderbird 140.5.0. If you’re wondering why 7.3.1 instead of 7.3, the devs said that it’s because a security vulnerability was fixed in a software library included in Tails while they were preparing version 7.3.

>i am very interested in the concept as i would like to get mullvad and route all my networks traffic through the vpn but only if i can avoid profiling, which this would help with.
If you're worried about >>107519173 then you can set up a soft-airgapped setup so that the xmrbazaar script can't bypass your VPN and deanonymize you.

>1. Create a proxyVM that runs your Mullvad client. Adjust the firewall settings so that only outgoing traffic through the VPN is allowed
>2. Create another VM, this one configured to route its traffic through the proxyVM, run the xmrbazaar script in there

This way, even if the xmrbazaar script is just some malware that's trying to steal your data and deanonymize you, it won't really matter. It won't have access to your personal data (since it's running in a fresh VM) and it won't be able to do an IP discovery because only the proxyVM knows your real IP address.

>>107530056
and where exactly will these requests be sent?
I genuinely don't understand how this is supposed in any way to "confuse trackers"
you're just sending more data, to god knows who and where, that's probably unique too. your ISP can see it clear as day

if you really want to give the illusion of constant traffic, just run the vpn and download/upload a few torrents.

>>107530123
Yeah I don't really get the point of doing it with a VPN. But if you were doing it with Tor, I guess it would make more sense, because you'd (theoretically) have more cover against timing/correlation attacks. It's harder for your ISP to know *when* you use Tor if you're just constantly using Tor 24/7.

>>107530189
don't torrent over Tor. use the I2P for that, which also covers the "random data being sent around randomly to confuse trackers" scenario

>>107530213
When anon mentioned "trackers", I think they were referring to things that spy on you. Not in the torrent sense.

>>107530223
yeah, I know, still torrents over I2P cover his use case perfectly. even just running the I2P alone, could probably be enough for what he's trying to do

>>107530231
What I mean is that it sounds like that anon wants all of his network data anonymized and protected from trackers (i.e. spies). Not just his torrent traffic.

>>107530237
In that case, then yes VPN/Proxy -> Tor -> ??? is the way, bu reading it again >>107518995
>a piece of software that supposedly mimics human network traffic to confuse trackers
I think he just wants something to send out random requests to simulate multiple users sending and receiving various requests, for which the I2P is perfect, because it's what it was designed to do

>>107530272
So, if I understand anon's problem correctly, it's basically this:

>I want to use a VPN, but I don't want to be profiled. So I'm going to use a bot that creates a bunch of supposedly "real" looking fake traffic, so that the VPN provider/ISP can't tell what's real and what's not. (I have doubts that this would actually work, but maybe)

I2P is good at anonymizing whatever goes over I2P, but it isn't going to help with muddling his VPN traffic. I2P unfortunately is not very good for browsing the clearnet.

>>107530300
ah, if that's what he meant, then I've nothing. Requests have to sent SOMEWHERE. it'll probably look suspicious if the ISP were to see this guy pinging example.org and cloudflare every 30 seconds

i can hear somebody breathing through my headphones, with everything closed. i wasn't in a call and had only been listening to music. am i fucked?

>>107530645

>>107518995
it doesn't sound that hard a problem ? like presenting automated traffic as human traffic. are most trackers very good at telling the difference? i would imagine the main thing would be timing related, cohering the traffic so it concentrates in normal human times at normal human rates . so just not ten thousand requests in 5 seconds at 3:47am. seems like it would be pretty easy to get an LLM to build this for you

How do you protect yourself from session hijack/cookie theft?
The idea that someone can take over some of my key accounts from a single misclick or redirect/hidden links is quite scary

>>107535638
One protection is that session cookies these days often have a SameSite value - if set to Strict then the cookie is only sent to the domain that set the cookie. So if facebook.com set the cookie then the cookie would only be sent to requests to facebook.com, and not requests to website-belonging-to-a-criminal.com

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Set-Cookie#samesitesamesite-value

Also I guess another good habit is to just not click dodgy links.

>How close does your city look to a cyberpunk one, anon? How much neon?
Not too much neon relatively speaking in my city (the most cyberpunk I have ever felt so far was in Amsterdam's red light district because of neon lights + sex + drugs) but lots of skyscrapers and the culture of consumerism+hedonism+doom is quite high

There's a row of neo-Futuristic skyscrapers that looks incredibly cool at night time when driving on a specific road. I can't find any angles of them from that road and the lighting in picrel doesn't do them justice. Now that privacy doesn't exist, if I ever notice I'm in the right place at the right time to capture that beauty I will and I'll share it here I guess

>>107543733
I live in a technofeudalist nightmare where the tech is stuck in the 1850's. Basically we're all just slaves who pay our taxes and do as we're told. I went to my local council some months ago for some paperwork, they gave me a photocopy of all the documents I needed:
>ID/passport
>rental/property contract
>fill out this online form: proceeds to list out the longest URL you've ever seen, 7 lines of the most random letters and numbers and symbols, slashes everywhere
