Earlier this summer we learned that our online activity is being recorded and analyzed. Some believe encrypting traffic is the answer to preserving privacy(1), however, encryption is complicated(2) and its real-world efficacy debatable(3). A new project, CyberFlare, eschews encryption for simply creating noise with artificial traffic which makes it hard to identify trends in genuine traffic. The code for CyberFlare is released under the GNU GPLv3 and is written in C++ using Qt5. Find it at https://github.com/whitebeachstudios/cyberflare. Check out the code, and join us today!
