Subject: Current Status of the Anonymous Remailer Network
Hi Declan,
I thought your Politech readers might be interested in how the
remailer
network looks, just over a week after the September 11th incidents.
Feel
free to pass this on.
Initial reports gave the impression that the network was weakened
because
of reactions to the terrorist attacks. On Sept 11th, two remailers
(cracker and orange) went offline. According to their operators,
however,
this was a result of ongoing problems with their ISPs. Cracker did
come
back online shortly thereafter. Two other remailers shifted into the
less
conspicuous "middleman mode" to avoid potential abuse situations.
Overall, the remailer network has grown in the past week. At present,
there are 37 remailers operating[1]. Five of these came online in the
past
week, and I know of at least three more slated to go live in the next
few
days, in response to concerns that the network may lose nodes. There
have
been no reported requests from law enforcement for information about
remailer users yet, however.
Commercial anonymity service provider Anonymizer is currently
offering an
anonymous gateway to the FBI's tip site for people who have
information
concerning the attacks[1]. Likewise, the remailer network could
provide a
safe mechanism for informants to provide information to the
authorities.
Also, the latest version of the Mixmaster remailer software was
released today, in anticipation of these additional new remailers[3].
