How it works
Cloakroom’s Transparent Anonymization
Cloakroom leverages award winning technology to provide completely transparent anonymity services to intelligence analysts and organizations, preventing trace data from being exploited by investigation or research targets. Cloakroom accomplishes this through the following mechanisms: multi-tiered obfuscation and the use of personas.
Multi-tier Obfuscation: Cloakroom transparently passes all research requests made by the analyst through special intervening servers (or “nodes”), preventing disclosure of the analysts’ own IP address to the target servers. The only IP address that is revealed is that of the selected node, which has no association with the analyst or sponsoring organization. Cloakroom further leverages this ability by enabling the analyst to choose a specific node for the duration of the research session. Since nodes are geographically distributed, the analyst can choose a specific node (or “exit” location) to match specific research objectives and contexts.
Personas: To further “cloak” the identity of the analyst, Cloakroom enables the analyst to construct, modify and select specific personas. Each persona can have specific trace attributes assigned to it, presenting a very specific profile to target research sites. These include identifiers such as the type and geographic location of the Cloakroom node, the type of browser being used and specific settings such as connection speed, window resolution and size, language preferences, etc. Additionally, the analyst can choose whether settings persist or are randomized at the start of each session.
Cloakroom is available in several configurable installations and can be tightly integrated bundled with Palantir.
