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
