Noisy

A simple python script that generates random HTTP/DNS traffic noise in the background while you go about your regular web browsing, to make your web traffic data less valuable for selling and for extra obscurity.

Tested on MacOS High Sierra, Ubuntu 16.04 and Raspbian Stretch and is compatable with both Python 2.7 and 3.6

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine

Dependencies

Install requests if you do not have it already installed, using pip:

pip install requests

Usage

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/1tayH/noisy.git

Navigate into the noisy directory

cd noisy

Run the script

python noisy.py --config config.json

The program can accept a number of command line arguments:

$ python noisy.py --help
usage: noisy.py [-h] [--log -l] --config -c [--timeout -t]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  --log -l      logging level
  --config -c   config file
  --timeout -t  for how long the crawler should be running, in seconds

only the config file argument is required.
