In response to post #27297984. #27318839, #27484524 are all replies on the same post. There is no such thing as the "anonymous internet." Even understanding that TOR is more of an expense than an actual method of granting anonymity. Public keys are derived from private keys which means you CAN use brute force or databasing to derive the private key from a public key. Once you do that, no matter how many times you wrap it, your data is exposed. Even trying to claim "But random keys" ignores how computers work and that psuedorandom data just adds an additional level of abstraction by having a random seed and a state array. (Pure memory dumps often create sparse data, which is "weak". In some cases, you can have very predicable patterns occur with memory dump randomization which allows an attacker to easily bypass security.) BUT, it is even easier just to check for traffic data. You may only be requesting uplink, but you'll still generate far more traffic in a particular area at a specific time than is recorded as the norm. A person who moves around an area thinking he is smart is equally stupid given he likely moves in a circular pattern centric about his residence. This means that if someone wants to know what you, in particular, are doing; nothing is going to stop that person. Why doesn't this go to court? Because us American's are Computer Illiterates and don't understand any of this. Do you know how hard they had to fight just to get DNA evidence accepted in courts? Fingerprints? Let alone that we're acting like government spying is worse than corporate spying and these methods of destroying the illusion of anonymity would cause major issues. I would also add that "Hactivism" doesn't exist. DDoS, in all forms, is for little kids. It is akin to standing outside your "target" and throwing eggs. Can you cause financial damage? Yep. Can you upset the people running the buisness? Yep. Can you even get people to talk about it? Yep. But will ANYONE give a crap about you, your goals, or even understand WHY you're doing it? Nope. Even "real" hacking doesn't clean the term, given the government using hacking to find pedophiles is "bad" but a citizen wearing a mask and acting like a hooligan doing the same is "good." Is spying right or wrong, make up your mind.
