Are there any projects that generates random traffic? Like a website where you have it open it keeps sending random traffic. It will make traffic analysis very hard.
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoIt probably doesn't; think about it, most websites already have a load of random stuff, plus all users combined is also heaps of randomness. No self-respecting analyist would go through logs manually, it's all fed into search / analysis software, filtering through noise.
- ementally 2y agoDepends, it is a very well-known attack vector https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Speculative_Tor_Attacks#Website_Oracles https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Speculative_Tor_Attacks#Website_...

- mdhb 2y agoAs I mentioned elsewhere in this thread if you’re looking for proper state of the art it’s coming out of DARPA projects and you can see what I mean here https://github.com/tst-race/race-docs/blob/main/what-is-race.md https://github.com/tst-race/race-docs/blob/main/what-is-race...
- boltzmann64 2y agoIt is already hard with bots drowning any legit traffic, and you want to add random traffic too.
- Brian_K_White 2y agoDecades ago when first hearing about timing attacks I thought every network switch and nic should generate essentially white noise at all times on the wire, with the actual traffic just mixed in. Random amounts of random data going to random destinations, completely filling the pipe 100% at all times like how a carrier wave is on at all times, just as a feature of lighting up the port. If the electricity is on, the noise is on. Or at least in the switches and maybe not needed at the end points. A fantasy.
