<span>Cover traffic is very expensive. Have you ever thought of a spidering program like YaCy?</span><br>Comrade Ringo Kamens<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 9:51 PM, <<a href="mailto:auto387645@hushmail.com">auto387645@hushmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

A while back, I found advice that users could increase their<br>
security using Tor by having programs run on their computer that<br>
would use the Tor Network, so it would be harder for another<br>
individual monitoring traffic to tell if the user was actively<br>
using the Tor Network or not; such a program would make it look<br>
like the Tor Network was constantly in use by the user.<br>
<br>
So, in my search to create "garbage" traffic, just any useless,<br>
random requests I could have some program send through the Tor<br>
Network, I found and used the "TrackMeNot" extension for Firefox.<br>
<br>
Now, I can only assume Google, along with any of the other search<br>
engines, don't appreciate this, but it was intended as a quick fix,<br>
and it seemed to serve the purpose I wanted it to fulfill.<br>
<br>
The downside being that while I'm probably not causing all the<br>
Google errors people are encountering, it seems as if I'm probably<br>
causing quite a lot of them. Before I tried this, I occasionally<br>
got an error from Google; with TrackMeNot enabled, I ALWAYS get<br>
errors when trying to search on Google.<br>
<br>
So, I'm still looking for an alternative: a program that would send<br>
random garbage data across the Internet through the Tor Network,<br>
but that wouldn't cause any harm.<br>
<br>
Anyone have any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
