    Lately i have been interested in anonymity on the internet.

    from what i figure, once you hit any one of the files on the webserver, the website owners can find out at least this about you:

    1. Your IP Address.
    2. Your hostname.
    3. Your continent.
    4. Your country.
    5. Your city.
    6. Your web browser.
    7. Your Operating System.
    8. Your screen resolution.
    9. Your screen colors.
    10. The previous URL you've been to.
    11. Your ISP.

    you could subscribe to anonymizer, but they know everything about you so if the FBI comes they will tell who you are. i dont think it would take much to trace you through a couple proxies to you ISP. and your ISP keeps logs on where you go and what you do, so is internet anonymity a lost cause?

    oh and i guess theres the problems with ICQ and IRC especially, and not to mention all the info you give out if you use the e-mail adress your ISP gave you.


    heh what to do
