Anonymous emails allow you to send emails without revealing your ID or detectable fingerprints like your IP. A layman cannot begin to take the anonymous digital route that easily; he has to depend on hosted services like disposable email IDs to anonymous remailing tools to remain a John Doe (or Jane Doe). Sending an email without letting the recipient know can be used for a variety of non-malicious causes which make them really useful. Here are five for your consideration.

By now, you’re probably aware of the mayhem and mischief that both LulzSec and Anonymous have claimed responsibility for. If not, I’m here to educate you. Both seem to have a feared and revered reputation as defiant hacktivists that accept no compromise. Although these two groups seem as close as cousins by nature, both have their distinct differences that we’ll venture into briefly.

To those who are concerned about privacy, the web is a dangerous place. Everywhere you turn, everybody is asking you to fill in your personal information. At some level, you need to protect yourself, and not use your real email address to fill in every registration form you come across.

I am a Google Chrome user and one of the features I especially like about Chrome is its incognito mode. When in incognito mode, webpages you open and files you download won’t be recorded in your browser’s history file, and cookies are deleted on exit, making your browsing session truly stealthy. But did you know that there’s a way for you to browse privately in Google Chrome but still stay signed in?

Recently, I’ve become quite obsessed with computer automation. After writing a recent article about Windows Scripting with VB script (a programming language I love), I’ve started exploring different ways people can make their computer smarter through scripts. One common thing many people do to protect their identity when visiting certain websites or while working on [...]

I had quite a lot of trouble last week with a company’s browsing restrictions. It used an extensive directory of ‘forbidden websites’ that kept out all but a few popular sites.
