Little Brotehr bash Chaffer - v0.1
This project is a collection of bash scripts, to function as a "Chaffer", inspired by the Cory Doctorow novel "Little Brother". The basic idea is to obfuscate your web broswing by flooding your connection with a bunch of random http requests, browsing random subjects in the background. Hopefully, your "true" browsing will get lost in the noise.
This software is not recommended for use under any circumstances, especially on a metered connection!
Changelog
- v0.1 - Initial upload/pre-alpha
Usage
This currently consists of just 2 bash scripts:-
- WikiRando
- DDGSearch
WikiRando spits out a random subject title from wikipedia to stdout when run, which will be the base starting point for the random browsing
DDGSearch is much more useful. When passed a search term, ie
./DDGSearch "imdb indiana jones"
the script will return the URLs from DuckDuckGo search results of that term. In the above example, the result I currently see is:-
category@computer:~/$ ./DDGSearch "imdb indiana jones"
http://imdb.wikia.com/wiki/Indiana_Jones
http://indianajones.wikia.com/wiki/Indiana_Jones
http://indianajones.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Indiana_Jones_films
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Temple_of_Doom
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Indiana_Jones_Chronicles
http://showtime.imdb.com/title/tt0087469/%3Fref_%3Dttls_li_tt
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0097576/
....[snip]
It will also save the list of URLs as DDGresults.txt in the present working directory. With text output, this is very handy for use with other scripts.
