Summary

In this chapter, we discussed different ways and techniques that we can maintain cyber anonymity. We discussed methods to maintain cyber anonymity by using virtual machines at the operating system level. Then, we discussed how we can maintain cyber anonymity at the application level, including application and desktop virtualization. Since we mostly access cyberspace using web browsers, we discussed how to prevent tracking on browsers using browser extensions. Browser extensions can prevent tracking and ads while displaying blocked trackers. There are anti-tracking tools that are capable of blocking trackers at the application level. When the trackers create cookies and scripts for use later or by other applications, we can remove them using trace removal programs. When you go through these methods, you will understand that tracking is possible in multiple layers. When it comes to cyber anonymity, we need to plan and maintain all these layers. Leaving traces on even a single...
