Wired recently published Anonymity on Disk, an article about using an OpenBSD-based Live CD called Anonym.OS and which was unveiled during Shmoo Con.
According to the Wired article, Anonym.OS will modify the "network fingerprint" of stock OpenBSD to make it look like Windows XP SP1 (duh!). Moreover, it uses Tor which may result into slow performance.

This was an attempt to blend in with whatever environment they were in. Moreover they told me they have only succeeded in changing it to “unknown”.

I agree to your last sentence. I trash the stickers and CD cover art. Why does the smallest of the 3 BSD's that centers on professional security excellence instead of glitz and fritz and useless cruft want to add kiddie stickers and comical blowfish?

yes
Or you don't like my mention of DragonFly BSD's support of light weight kernel threading or Sun's ZFS file system?
it's certainly offtopic, unless you're planning on porting it to openbsd.

Their pf.conf seems a little overkill, but I guess that's the whole point...

pgrep tor
pkill tor
pgrep priv
pkill <number>
pfctl -d
edit /etc/resolv.conf to have a local dns
nameserver 127.0.0.1
to
nameserver n.n.n.n
start up browser, under Edit, Preferences, General, Connection Settings, Select - Direct Connection to the Intenet
and viola!
tcpdump works, ssh works, browsing as normal.
Thanks for the pointer.
As a general observation, startup time for various applications is very slow, since /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin are all accessed from the cd.
It might be interesting to copy those to a mfs partition as well.
