Google CEO Eric Schmidt ignited a firestorm in 2009 when he declared Privacy is dead. He said:
If you have something that you dont want anyone to know, maybe you shouldnt be doing it in the first place, but if you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines including Google do retain this information for some time, and its important, for example that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act. It is possible that that information could be made available to the authorities.
For those with legitimate reason to use the Internet anonymouslydiplomats, military and other government agencies, journalists, political activists, IT professionals, law enforcement personnel, political refugees, and othersanonymous networking provides an invaluable tool, and many good reasons that anonymity can serve a very important purpose.
Anonymous use of the Internet is made difficult by the many websites that know everything about us, by the cookies and ad networks, IP-logging ISPs, and even nosy officials may get involved. It is no longer possible to turn off browser cookies to be left alone in your online life.
For many, using any of the open source, peer-reviewed tools for connecting to the Internet via an anonymous network may be (or seem to be) too difficult, as most of the information about these tools is burdened with discussions of how they work and how to maximize security. Even tech-savvy users may find the burden too greatbut actually using the tools can be pretty simple.
For many users, being able to use the Internet anonymously can literally be a matter of life and death, so no one should be prevented from using anonymity tools because they can be too confusingparticularly if the need is urgent. This book will provide the know-how to get vulnerable users online, anonymously, as quickly and safely as possible.
Read on to discover how to use the most effective and widely used anonymity toolsthe ones that protect diplomats, military and other government agencies, journalists, political activists, law enforcement personnel, political refugees, and others. This practical guide skips the theoretical and technical details and focuses on getting from zero to anonymous as fast as possible.
I would like to thank all those who have contributed to the Tor Project for their important contributions to this important enterprise. In particular, I want to express my gratitude to those people connected with the Tor Project who were kind enough to help me complete this project:
Karsten Loesing, Metrics Researcher and Project Manager, who was kind enough to find time in his busy schedule to review this book for technical correctness.
Runa A. Sandvik, Developer, Security Researcher, and Translation Coordinator, who was gracious and helpful in answering some of my peskier questions about Torand shared some insights into the difficulties of writing about Tor.
Roger Dingledine, Project Leader and one of the original developers of Tor, who very patiently spent close to an hour explaining to me how Tor works at the 2013 Tor Project hack day in Boston.
Andrew Lewman, Executive Director, without whose assistance I would not have been able to complete this project.
As always, I am grateful for the skilled professionals at Elsevier, starting with Syngress publisher Steve Elliot who convinced me to start writing books again, and Ben Rearick, Editorial Project Manager, and Mohana Natarajan, Production Manager, who helped guide the whole project to completion.
Despite appearances, the Internet is not now (nor has it ever been) an anonymous medium. People often behave as if they are anonymous, for example, by posting obnoxious comments on websites or browsing objectionable content with a browsers incognito or private browsing modes.
However, whenever you connect to the Internet you are announcing your identity through your computers Internet Protocol (IP) address, which identifies you: through your Internet service providers (ISPs) account to find your home address, or through your companys network to identify your computer at work.
When you connect to the Internet from someone elses IP address (e.g., from a hotel wi-fi account, a computer cafe, or a borrowed PC), you can still be identified by anyone monitoring your session when you log in to social networking sites or check your webmail.
People continue to discover that using the Internet leaves forensic evidenceevidence which, if someone wants it, can be easily collected and linked to you. Given the revelation in June 2013 of the PRISM program, under which the National Security Agency (NSA) was working with nine of the biggest providers of Internet services (including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, and several others) to collect and store data, concerns about privacy protectionincluding in the USare far from paranoid fantasies.
