Is this just your idea? Or is it an actual working solution?
Because people have known about padding for a while and yet we still have methods to de-anonymize TOR networks. When you use those techniques on a minor mesh network like this, it's an order of magnitude easier.
Keep in mind that the cable company or broadband provider doesn't have to have much in the way of proof, just a suspicion and your connection will be terminated.
- mindslight 12y agoIt's a very simplistic idea I threw out there, and it should stand on its own - if the only thing the intermediate network ever sees is uniformly distributed packets at uniformly distributed times regardless of contents, there's simply no signal for correlation attacks. But it's clearly inefficient as fuck. > broadband provider doesn't have to have much in the way of proof This pretty much goes for any software that doesn't just visit Facialbook et al. Barring any sort of public utility regulation, the only way to push back against that is to get software widely deployed.
