Challenge30: Logic for Peking Ducks
So you are using Tor and have hid your tracks really well. But you still use Twitter and Facebook.
Duh! They are on to you.
The bastards can track you down like a dog, from the the links you are posting on your Social Media sites.
I suppose it's logic for Peking Ducks.
Like the Chinese saying, they can track US Stealth planes by the volume of Rarefied-airflow they displace as they move through the ether.
Now I read that somewhere on the Inter-webs, but it seems to have disappeared.
But it made sense at the time.
I always wondered if, "The Invisible Man," would die eventually of Hypothermia.
(No Sunlight hitting his body etc etc)
I suppose that is up there with wondering whether "The Batman," could take "Kal-El." And I of course mean, Clark Kent alias Superman and not yet another Car Model from Tesla Motors.
But I digress.
The only way to be invisible on the Web is to stay off the fucking Web.
As soon as you login and start interacting, you are leaving tracks and are road kill.
And if someone wants to find you they will.
Unless of course you are, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Then, All the Kings Sniffers and All the Kings Geeks,
cannot find head nor tail of the,
Guy/Coffee Group/Collaboration Partnership/What Ever.
Now their is a guy who has dropped off the grid.
Could they back track him down from his use of Twitter/Facebook.
IBM's Watson is probably now, as we speak/Blog,
sniffing out the ID of the most wanted man in the known Crypto Universe.
The answer may not to be invisible at all, (with the possibility of Hypothermia to follow,) but to be highly visible.
With the aid of millions of bots you could flood the Inter-webs with zillions of false trails.
And overload the Data collecting servers with crap data. (Or more crap data)
And then again, maybe not.
Read On:
Your 'private' web history ISN'T as private as you think: Anyone can spy on your anonymous browsing data by linking it to your social media activity
Algorithm compared anonymous browsing histories with links on social media
It detected patterns among the groups of data and used them to identify users
The latest experiment raises fresh concerns about online privacy and security
You might think you've covered your tracks online, but your Facebook feed could be used to reveal your identity.
A new study shows it's possible for companies to know your name your name and link it to your web activity by gathering data from you Facebook and Twitter.
The research raises fresh concerns about online privacy, adding to a growing number of ways tracking companies may be able to learn more about individual web users.
Researchers from the universities of Stanford and Princeton detailed their discovery in a paper due to be presented at the 2017 World Wide Web Conference Perth, Australia.
'We show that browsing histories can be linked to social media profiles such as Twitter, Facebook or Reddit accounts,' they wrote.
Privacy mode on web browsers disables browsing history and the web cache.
This means you can the web anonymously without storing local data that could be retrieved at a later.
It is however, still possible to identify commonly visited websites by associating the IP address at the web server.
