A tool to prevent tracking through keyboard and mouse input. Real-time anonymization for input devices like keyboards and mice, designed to counter tracking techniques. Helps protect your privacy by making it harder to identify you based on how you type or move your mouse. For keyboards, it hides patterns by changing the timing between each key press and release. These patterns, known as keystroke biometrics, could otherwise be used to recognize individuals. For mice, it introduces random changes to the timing and number of movements, and modifies the mouse pointer path. This helps prevent mouse biometrics from revealing identity. kloak is designed for use only with the Wayland display server. https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Keystroke and Mouse Deanonymization#Kloak Technical details: Obfuscates time intervals between keyboard input events. Obfuscates time intervals, frequency, and pointer paths for mouse input. Installation There are two ways to run kloak: 1. As an application 2.
