Let me be clear from the beginning: the purpose of this article, as well as the tool that I’ll be mentioning in this article, is to setup a Proof of Concept – it is not intended to make you a hacker. The goal here is simple: do an awareness campaign for How-to-hide-ip readers when it [...]
If you are a user of one of Google’s “free” products, I’m sure you have received an e-mail from Google inviting you to check their new and consolidated privacy policy.

This SOPA deal is bringing high politics to the face of lambda internet users. Hadn’t it been for real, the scenario could (or is it already?) inspire some hollywood film producer – or not, since Hollywood is one of the major stakeholder in this SOPA battle. So let me try to be a film writer [...]
As more and more news about “controlling” the internet spread in every corner of the world, awareness about preserving some online anonymity is getting more exposure. Indeed, while in the US, online piracy is in the center of a very intense debate around the Stop Online PiracyAct (SOPA); the European Union is trying to apply [...]
As I started talking about the opposition between law and internet on my end of year book reading recommendations, it seems like I’ve opened the Pandora’s box here on how-to-hide-ip.info.
