Testers Wanted!

Quote kloak:

kloak is a privacy tool that makes keystroke biometrics less effective. This is accomplished by obfuscating the time intervals between key press and release events, which are typically used for identification. This project is experimental.

Non-Qubes-Whonix only!

( Qubes-Whonix is unfortunately unsupported due to the following Qubes issues.

Installation of kloak in Qubes Whonix (or in Qubes Debian templates)) would succeed but kloak would be dysfunctional.

Instructions for Whonix users:

Testers only!

Inside Whonix-Workstation.

1) Enabling Whonix testers repository required.

2) update your package lists and install kloak

To check proper installation:

sudo systemctl status kloak

How to test:

You can test that kloak actually works by trying an online keystroke biometrics demo.

Instructions for Debian users:
