amnesie

A tool to make your computer amnesic.

Inspiration come from a post found on Qubes-OS and the Whonix project.

• Anonymizing MAC Address (wifi, ethernet)
• Randomize your hostname

Amnesie is cryptographically signed, so add my public key (if you haven’t already) as a trusted certificate.

$ gem cert --add <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/szorfein/amnesie/master/certs/szorfein.pem)

And install the gem

$ gem install amnesie -P MediumSecurity

To be able to use the persist mode (with systemd for now), the gem should be installed system-wide:

• For gentoo, a package is available on my repo ninjatools.
• Arch seem to use Quarry.
• On distro based on debian, gem are installed system-wide.

If you can, i recommend that you create a package for your distribution.

To change the MAC address only on eth0:

$ amnesie -n eth0 -m

Create or Disable all systemd services for a network card:

$ amnesie -p

Forge a random hostname with -H

$ amnesie -H
