The best way to interactively surf anonymously is to find an unsecured WiFi net and kick back. Use a forged MAC, and watch your driving habits. The walls have eyes. Stego is ok if the site is word of mouth (no DNS, no port 80) anyway, kind of a secret knock to get in the speakeasy. But humans get compromised and the B34ST logs the site's traffic. Stego is fine for placing an order with a dissident vendor for a few drams, but a dissident wanting mass meme infection needs to anonymously broadcast, and to everyone. That SMS/ Sprint hack recently posted strikes me as appealing... (And we don't need no ex-navy dolphin to jack the bandwidth...) -- Three minutes. This is it - ground zero.

There were some good ideas presented, the best of which were probably to first compose an email at home, then PGP encrypt it, then stego-ize it, then put it on a USB token and bring it to the internet cafe, and send it there. For receiving, download a bunch of junk from a mailing list used for this purpose onto the token, go home and de-stego and de-PGP it. This doesn't work though for web browsing. For that you need a real time channel. You can go to various proxies, and some people run them specifically to help the Chinese, the slashdot replies talked about this. But first, the Chinese block them when they find out, and second, it makes you look suspicious if you're visiting one. Be nice if there were a high bandwidth stego channel that was widely available. For example, imagine an open source P2P multi player game which intentionally included a reasonably high bandwidth channel of random data. It would be a service to the public to play this game and thereby provide people who need it the ability to communicate undetectably. Dissidents could use a hacked version which would replace some of the random noise bits with their messages. Only the recipients could distinguish the results from noise. CP
