If a friend sends a nastigram email to her own employer that she doesn't
wish to be traced, assuming she writes it so that social engineering
doesn't catch her through her "content", is there anything else I should
recommend she do than the following to ensure a reasonable level of privacy
(using Windows XP)?

1. Download and install macmakeup
http://www.gorlani.com/publicprj/macmakeup/macmakeup.asp
Use macmakeup to change your ethernet id for your wireless card

2. Download and install operator
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/OperaTor-Download-52517.html
Use operator to connect to the web hiding your identity

3. Go to any other free non-login isp site

a) Change your mac id
b) Use operator to get a google gmail account (do not use yahoo)
c) send your email
d) change your mac id
e) never use that gmail account again (so you don't have to worry about
tors knowing your password, which they will).

What else can reasonably be done to hide your identity when sending an
email nastigram?

Why are you asking this here? Anyway, use an anonymous remailer chain; 3
encrypted hops should do it. It's the _only_ true way to send nastigrams
in a totally anonymous fashion. Look it up. Otherwise, if your boss
thinks it's you, he'll figure it out. Or someone will.

I never can get anonymous remailers working. Even TORs were a pain (even
with privoxy/tor/vidalia) before OperaTor. At least with OperaTor, it works
first time, every time. The Tor bundles were a nightmare for me to get
working.

Same with anonymous smtp remailers. And nntp protection too!

Is there an anonymous remailer that people would recommend that actually
works on the first Windows installation attempt?

BTW, what group does this question belong into?

Yes. Do it with your email client, your clipboard, and PGP. Start with
Dizum.

alt.privacy.anon-server

it's a venerable newsgroup, carried by every nntp provider. How did you
come up with alt.internet.wireless?

Note that if you use Tor, and if you have Java enabled, your IP address
is hanging out there for god and everyone to see. It's not a Tor
problem, don't complain to them.

Hi Warren Oates,
Assuming Thunderbird on Windows for the mail user agent, I'm not sure what
the Windows clipboard is for??? And, if this is a note to be sent to an
employer, essentially whistleblowing, how would PGP encryption help?

Google group searching for the topic came up almost blank so must be few
people or my keywords must be lacking. L
