While I don't agree that "Impossible to trace your MAC or IP" is a good summation of what Knoppix does, it is a great tool and I use it all the time.

Isn't a MAC address non-routable, and not traceable beyond your local network?

Yes.

I don't doubt it.  Anyone who spends 3 million dollars on a tracing interrogation program is going to be pretty easy to fool.

...I've spent 12 years working for Fed Govt (8 of those years in other countries. Anyone who has, is familiar with the Fraud Waste and Abuse (spending outrageous amounts on contracts). The Govt can spend whatever they want when they pull the National Security card.

KNOPPIX is a bootable Live system on CD or DVD, consisting of a representative collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a productive Linux system for the desktop, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it (over 8GB on the DVD "Maxi" edition).




OK...so can someone briefly explain to a n00b like me how using this distribution makes it impossible-ish to trace your IP?

thanks!

1) You could change your mac and get on to a wireless network that has no idea who you are.

2) You could fire up tor

Neither off these things really require this distribution.  But its helpful in that you can boot into it, do whatever you want, and then when you reboot all traces of what you were doing disappear.

Great, thanks, that was what I was thinking. Couldn't see how the distribution itself could mask credentials.

thanks for the explanation.
