Date: Tue Apr 11 23:32:20 2006 From: aettinger at sdsualumni.org (Anthony Ettinger) Subject: Shell accounts simply having a shell account does in itself gaurantee anonymity. Whatever you read was probably talking about tunnelling. so you connected to target host via N number of hops (other shell accounts on different boxes). Doing a trace would require logs from N number of machines. This is more or less what the tor.eff.org network does, I believe with only 3 hops though + encryption between tor nodes. There are some give-aways though with tor, like DNS leakage which may or may not give you away.
