From the title I had expected a mode where it will emulate TCP flags and attributes like Windows 10. But on the GUI side I think the best way to hide is to make something slightly Word-like looking as a terminal emulator. Because it doesn't matter that much whether you have a Windows file manager, people will think you're up to something if you're typing in a terminal window in either OS. The same happens in IntelliJ or Eclipse, non-developers looking over your shoulder will ask what it is because it has a certain look of "complexity"

You don't need heavy tweaking for that. Just set your terminal to have a white background with black text. Unless someone moves up really close to you it'll look like regular old Notepad.

It wouldn't be too difficult to modify things like ttl, syn/ack prng, and banners to fool something like nmap, but more sophisticated fingerprinting software would require mimicking SSDP requests and responses; totally doable with enough packet captures over a period of time. Would be a fun project.

Having been working in many parts of the world, in many different kind of environments - coffee shops, hotels, airports and train stations, restaurants, co-workings, and a lot less common places like public benches, beaches, or post office - I very, very rarely had someone asking me, or even looking what I was up to. I may have not noticed a curious eye once a while, but not sure it would be able to pick up if I'm spinning up a Kubernetes cluster, or pentesting the nearby bank's network. Cool feature though!

  Whenever I'm on a flight and I open my laptop and start coding in vim on my tiling window manager, I always worry that someone is going to freak out that I'm "hacking the plane." It hasn't happened yet, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it did.

    I spent a flight reading man pages and thought exactly the same thing My preference for dark color schemes is great until I realize on a plane I'm a walking stereotype..
