A year-long project to delve into proactive privacy techniques and keeping personal data safe, secure and available.
Overall Landscape: The solution is flooding the reservoir. We are moving beyond simple noise generation to Identity Multiplicity. Instead of trying to erase your name, we create a dozen “yous” simultaneously: a ski instructor in Denver, a chicken farmer in Texas, a canoe guide in Florida. All using your real name. All with verified phone […]
You’ve hardened your system. You’ve locked down your browser, routed your traffic through tunnels, and stripped metadata from every file that leaves your machine. You’ve done the basics, and then some. But here’s the problem — the scrapers have evolved past the basics too. They’re no longer just reading your EXIF tags and moving on. […]

The Invisible Inventory It all began with a simple question: “Can we hide in synthetic noise?” Our first proof of concept was “Generic Noise” — flooding the network with synthetic traffic to drown out what we were doing. It worked, but it was blunt. It lacked direction. So, we refined it. We introduced the Vacation […]

Your Hardware Digital Shadow Every device you buy new carries a shadow. From the factory floor to the retailer shelf, a trail of serial numbers, purchase records, warranty registrations, and IMEI databases links that hardware to you. Your laptop was born with a birth certificate, and that certificate follows it everywhere. Supply-chain adversaries — whether […]

From Isolation to Active Deception You already know the drill. You compartmentalize your digital life. Shopping stays separate from banking. Work stays separate from personal. Each identity lives in its own VM, its own browser profile, its own email alias. You’ve done the hard work of building walls between your compartments, and that effort has […]

Because rotating devices just moves the fingerprint — not the correlation For years, I believed the golden rule of digital privacy was simple: buy a new phone, get a new SIM, and start fresh. But as a privacy advocate and Cybersecurity evangelist, I realized this strategy was flawed. Rotating devices doesn’t erase your digital footprint; […]

Introduction: Knowing Your Adversary You’ve already done the heavy lifting. You’ve scrubbed your footprint from data brokers, opted out of the marketing machine, and locked down your digital life with the precision of someone who understands the stakes.

Feeding false location & biometric data to crowd-sourced apps The proactive, Guerrilla approach to privacy doesn’t wait for threats to materialize — it anticipates surveillance, then floods the zone with plausible noise. Rather than hiding in the shadows, you create the shadows. With electronic disinformation drops, you don’t just obscure your location — you […]
Setting the Scene Over the past half-century, U.S. policing has steadily absorbed military tactics, equipment, and training. The turning point came in the late 1960s when high-profile shootings left officers feeling outgunned; the federal 1033 program (established in 1990) then institutionalized the flow of surplus assault rifles, armored vehicles, and tactical gear into local departments. By the […]
Luring surveillance tools into dead-end crypto puzzles In this article I’ll walk you through a modest but powerful honeypot you can host on any domain — preferably behind a VPN so your IP stays hidden. The goal is simple: publish files that look like ordinary data dumps, but that actually lure surveillance tools into costly, […]
