simply having a shell account does in itself gaurantee anonymity. Whatever you read was probably talking about tunnelling. so you connected to target host via N number of hops (other shell accounts on different boxes). Doing a trace would require logs from N number of machines. This is more or less what the tor.eff.org network does, I believe with only 3 hops though + encryption between tor nodes. There are some give-aways though with tor, like DNS leakage which may or may not give you away. On 4/11/06, Ian stuart Turnbull <ian.t7 () hotmail co uk> wrote:
Sorry folks, my inquisitiveness has got the better of me again. After reading some info on hacking it refernces getting a Shell account. Is this a unix type bash/bourne shell? It mentions that to remain anonymous you will need a Shell account. I know there are a number of places offering free shell accts some with an out to the internet others without. Suppose I had a friend who had a Linux connected to the internet and I got him to set me up a username. As long as his machine didn't do any logging [and he pretended not to know of anyone using this account] would I - using sssh to connect] be traceable. No I'm not planning on doing any hacking or causing mischief. Though I'd love to know who's trying to get into my machine... but thats another story!!
