# Blur My Searches
|
||||
|
||||
## This project has not been started yet.
|
||||
## This README is, for now, mainly here to guide the project, and will be tidied up later.
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiply your web searches to add irrelevant data to what is collected about you.
|
||||
|
||||
Totally untraced web browsing isn't possible. There are a lot of tools out there
|
||||
to make things better, but being totally anonymous is not possible, and having no
|
||||
data being collected is also not possible... unless you live in a cave, but then
|
||||
you wouldn't be reading this anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm sure this tool already exists in some form, but here's my version.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
The idea would be running the program in the background while browsing. It
|
||||
would gather anything that is searched and would *simultaneously* issue tens of
|
||||
other random searches.
|
||||
The randomness of these other searches could be fined tuned with dictionnaries of
|
||||
words so that the other searches would somewhat resemble the effective search.
|
||||
|
||||
For example I'm buying shoes online, I type in 'boots', the program simultaneously
|
||||
searches the same website for 'sandals', 'santiags', 'socks', 'runners'... you get
|
||||
the idea.
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementations expected
|
||||
|
||||
The background program needs to know a few things:
|
||||
- When to issue a search (typically the user could just run the program manually
|
||||
when he/she wants to browse, but it would be better to issue searches at the precise
|
||||
same moment the user sends his/hers).
|
||||
- What the user types: keylogger? Or catch HTTP? What about HTTPS? Or read the
|
||||
GET request.
|
||||
- Obviously, which website the user is browsing.
