Seems being anonymous when surfing the internet is almost impossible. This is true since security has no measures. Whatever we try you do to protect our privacy, like using proxy applications such as Tor project, cannot really save you. Security agents have all the required tools to ping and traceroute the real "you".
The only one true in the security realm is that "smarter is faster, and the faster will get the worm", the zero-day attacks is one example. Another example is "ProxyHAM", that is designed and manufactured by Benjamin Caudill, the founder of Rhino Security Labs.
ProxyHAM is a hardware proxy that can be installed by connecting it to any available internet in any open place, like a library or internet Cafe (of course without anyone see you install it). You can then go about 2.5 miles far, and still be able to connect to it. You may ask me, how does that really work?! here is my small description:
ProxyHAM consists of a Raspberry Pi small computer along with 3 antennas (900MHz each) and on your laptop that's far away you should install a 900MHz antenna as well, which will connect back with two of ProxyHAM's antennas, where the last antenna in the set is connected to the internet.
Do you see the point here?
Now let's say anyone could log your activity on the internet, all she will see is the ProxyHAM's IP address, and since you are 2 miles away nobody can catch you!
Caudill will give it a shot in the Defcon conference next month.
