Time For Ameateur Hour
If someone has been searching for the information on how to post
without revealing their address or any portion of it where would they look? Anomious remailers are not the answer. tightwad |

Anomious remailers are not the answer. a dictionary might help. There is no real anonymity here, which is generally a good thing as those who seek it should not be posting. -- Jim Watt http://www.gibnet.com Jim Watt |

Re: Time For Ameateur Hour
No thanks.
They only come in your sizes. It seems you are well protected from current realities along with the nutcrackery. You may want to expand your knowledge not just technical capabilities. tightwad |

Over the years, I have been able to trace users right to their door and sometimes read files on their HD. With so much identity theft happening, anonymous posting can be helpful. Chaining remailers is more effective than using just one. Now, before everyone starts telling me about log files and the like, keep in mind that maitaining anonymity from the average usenet user is different than trying to maintain it from an advanced user and that is also different than maintaing it from the FBI. So it all depends what the extent of the privacy is desired. donnie. Donnie |

I foolishly opened one to a blank page. Fortunately there is no trace of any outgoing information or tampering with files after a "thorough" cleaning. That's the only reason I was thinking of being anonymous. If you post anything on newsgroups expect someone or several someones to try and see what is at our end. As far as anomosity I have none for anyone. tightwad |

Firstly accessing someones computer is only possible if they have neglected basic security in the first place. Now if you are going to use the medium to attack people like the CoS or discuss writing virus's then there is a need for for being anonymous, however in other places its more often a sign of a troll or a pest. Security is about measuring a response to a situation, with the right amount applied. -- Jim Watt http://www.gibnet.com Jim Watt |
