Using Anonymous Remailers

This is a brief tutorial covering only the Need-to-Know stuff to send anonymous

E-mail.

An Anonymous Remailer is a company, organization or private

party that has configured their computer to receive a properly

formatted e-mail message from one party (you), then re-address

it and send it to a second party (the person you want to send

it to). In the process, they remove any headers that might

point back to you. When the second party receives the message,

it say's that it was sent from an anonymous source (usually

giving the the remailers return address). Anonymous Remailers

offer numerous features, such as time delays and being able to

receive the resend PGP encrypted messages. I'm only going to

go into the basic's, but I've provided other links for when

you want to try more advanced techniques.

To send an anonymous message, address the TO: box in your

e-mail program to one of the following Remailers

remailer@replay.com

hfinney@shell.portal.com

remailer@alpha.c2.org

remail@miron.vip.best.com

mixmaster@remail.obscura.com

remailer@replay.com

remailer@remailer.nl.com

haystack@holy.cow.net

lucifer@dhp.com

remailer@cypherpunks.ca

winsock@rigel.cyberpass.net

config@nym.alias.net

remailer@huge.cajones.com

mix@squirrel.owl.de

middleman@jpunix.com

alias@alias.cyberpass.net

dustman@athensnet.com

config@weasel.owl.de

middleman@cyberpass.net

remailer@wazoo.com

remailer@lycaeum.org

remailer@hidden.net

Fill in the subject line any way you like, keep in mind

though, some remailers remove the subject line.

In the body of the message, place two colons (::) side-by side

on the first line, all the way to the left. YOU MUST PUT THE

DOUBLE COLON ON THE VERY FIRST LINE, ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT

FOR THIS TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the very next line, type in the phrase (this is who you

want the mail to go to):

Request-Remailing-To: whoever@where-ever.com

Be sure that the "R" in Request & Remailing and the "T" in To

are UPPER CASE (capitalized).

Be sure that you put a hyphen between the words, as shown.

Be sure to put a colon after the word "To:"

Be sure to leave a space after the colon before entering a

e-mail address

Now, skip a line and start typing your message that you want

the person to receive. You can also attach a file, if your

e-mailer will allow it.

Your message body should look like this:

::

Request-Remailing-To: whoever@aol.com

(This is where the message goes)

THAT'S IT! Send the message!

*** Frequently Asked Questions About Anonymous Remailers ***

by

Andre Bacard, Author of

"Computer Privacy Handbook"

[FAQ Version August 5, 1995]

============================================================

This article offers a nontechnical overview of anonymous

remailers to help you decide whether to use these

computer services to enhance your privacy. I have written

this especially for persons with a sense of humor. You

may distribute this (unaltered) FAQ for non-commercial

purposes.

===========================================================

An anonymous remailer (also called an "anonymous server")

is a free computer service that privatizes your e-mail.

A remailer allows you to send electronic mail to a Usenet

news group or to a person without the recipient knowing

your name or your e-mail address.

Maybe you're a computer engineer who wants to express

opinions about computer products, opinions that your

employer might hold against you. Possibly you live in a

community that is violently intolerant of your social,

political, or religious views. Perhaps you're seeking

employment via the Internet and you don't want to

jeopardize your present job. Possibly you want to place

personal ads. Perchance you're a whistle-blower afraid of

retaliation. Conceivably you feel that, if you criticize

your government, Big Brother will monitor you. Maybe you

don't want people "flaming" your corporate e-mail

address. In short, there are legitimate reasons why

you, a law abiding person, might use remailers.

Let's take an example. A popular Internet remailer is run

by Johan Helsingius, President of a Helsinki, Finland

company that helps businesses connect to the Internet.

His "an@anon.penet.fi" addresses are common in

controversial news groups. Suppose you read a post from

a battered woman <an123@anon.penet.fi> crying out for

help. You can write her at <an123@anon.penet.fi>.

Helsingius' computer will STRIP AWAY your real name and

address (the header at the top of your e-mail), replace

this data with a dummy address, and forward your message

to the battered woman. Helsingius' computer will notify

you of your new anonymous address; e.g.,

<an345@anon.penet.fi>. You can use Helsingius' free

service to forward letters to anyone, even to persons who

do not use his service. His computer sends each user

detailed instructions about his system.

Currently, there are roughly a dozen active, PUBLIC

remailers on the Internet. (Undoubtedly, there are

PRIVATE remailers that restrict who may use them.)

Remailers tend to come and go. First, they require

equipment and labor to set up and maintain; second, they

produce zero revenue.

There is a simple answer. How can remailer administrators

charge people who want maximum privacy? Administrators

can't ask for a Visa number or take checks.

People set up remailers for their own personal usage,

which they may or may not care to share with the rest of

us. Joshua Quittner, co-author of the high-tech thriller

MOTHER'S DAY, interviewed Mr. Helsingius for WIRED

magazine. Helsingius said:

"It's important to be able to express certain

views without everyone knowing who you are.

One of the best examples was the great debate

about Caller ID on phones. People were really

upset that the person at the receiving end

would know who was calling. On things like

telephones, people take for granted the fact

that they can be anonymous if they want to and

they get really upset if people take that

away. I think the same thing applies for e-

mail."

"Living in Finland, I got a pretty close view

of how things were in the former Soviet Union.

If you actually owned a photocopier or even a

typewriter there you would have to register it

and they would take samples of what your

typewriter would put out so they could

identify it later. That's something I find so

appalling. The fact that you have to register

every means of providing information to the

public sort of parallels it, like saying you

have to sign everything on the Net. We always

have to be able to track you down."

An "ideal" anonymous remailer is: (a) Easy to use. (b)

Run by a reliable individual whose system actually does

what it promises. In addition, this person should have

the computer expertise to take prudent steps to safeguard

your privacy from civilian or government hackers. (c)

Able to forward your messages in a timely manner. By

"timely" I mean minutes or hours. (d) Holds your messages

for a RANDOM time before forwarding them. This time lag

makes it harder for snoops to link a message that arrives

at, say, 3:00 P.M. with a message that leaves your

machine at, say, 2:59 P.M. (e) Permits (better yet

encourages!) PGP encryption software. If a remailer does

NOT permit PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), reasonable people

might assume that the remailer administrator enjoys

reading forwarded mail.

A responsible user: (a) Sends text files of a reasonable

length. Binary files take too much transmission time. (b)

Transmits files selectively. Remailers are NOT designed

to send "You Can Get Rich" chain letters or other junk

mail.

Here is a quote from one remailer administrator:

"This remailer has been abused in the past, mostly by

users hiding behind anonymity to harass other users. I

will take steps to squish users who do this. Lets keep

the net a friendly and productive place.... Using this

remailer to send death threats is highly obnoxious. I

will reveal your return address to the police if you do

this."

Legitimate remailer administrators will NOT TOLERATE

harassment or criminal activity. Report any such

incidents to the remailer administrator.

For most low-security tasks, such as responding to

personal ads, remailers are undoubtedly safer than using

real e-mail addresses. However, all the best made plans

of mice and men have weaknesses. Suppose, for example,

that you are a government employee, who just discovered

that your boss is taking bribes. Is it safe to use an

anonymous remailer to send evidence to a government

whistleblower's e-mail hot line? Here are a few points to

ponder:

(a) The person who runs your e-mail system might

intercept your secret messages to and from the anonymous

remailer. This gives him proof that YOU are reporting

your corrupt boss. This evidence could put you in danger.

(b) It is possible that the anonymous remailer is a

government sting operation or a criminal enterprise,

designed to entrap people. The person who runs this

service might be your corrupt boss' partner.

(c) Hackers can do magic with computers. It's possible

that hackers have broken into the remailer (unbeknownst

to the remailer's administrator) and that they can read

your messages at will.

Hard-core privacy people do not trust individual

remailers. These people write programs that send their

messages through several remailers. This way only the

first remailer knows their real address, and the first

remailer cannot know the final destination of the e-mail

message. In addition, they PGP encrypt all messages.

Go to the Usenet news group ALT.PRIVACY.ANON-SERVER. Pay

special attention to posts by Raph Levien, "The Remailer

Guru."

Raph Levien [see above] generously runs a remailer

pinging service which collects details about remailer

features and reliability. To read Levien's data, finger:

<remailer-list@kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu>.

There is also a Web version of the same information, at:

https://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html

In addition, Raph Levien <raph@kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu>

regularly posts his "List of Reliable Remailers" at

ALT.PRIVACY.ANON-SERVER.

YOUR privacy and safety could be in danger! Prolific bank,

credit and medical databases, e-mail monitoring, and computer

matching programs are just a few factors that threaten every

law-abiding citizen. In short, our anti-privacy society can

serve criminals and snoops computer data about YOU on a silver

platter.

If you want to PROTECT your privacy, I urge you to support

groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation

<info@eff.org> and the Electronic Privacy Information Center

<info@epic.org>.
