Mixmaster anonymous remailer
Mixmaster is a Type II anonymous remailer which sends messages in fixed-size packets and reorders them, preventing anyone watching the messages go in and out of remailers from tracing them. It is an implementation of a Chaumian Mix network.[1]

History
Mixmaster was originally written by Lance Cottrell, and was maintained by Len Sassaman. Peter Palfrader is the current maintainer. Current Mixmaster software can be compiled to handle Cypherpunk messages as well; they are needed as reply blocks for nym servers.
gollark: Gotos *and* conditionals.
gollark: You run a bit of a risk of off-by-one errors and weirdness, and they look worse.
gollark: I like to ensure that my code is SAFE and COOL by writing idiomatic Haskell, then randomly adding `unsafePerformIO` and more monads to it.
gollark: Performance is, in my opinion, mostly less important than safety and correctness.
gollark: Go's loops are literally metaphorically Satan.
