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: Unfortunately, video needs waaaay higher bitrate to be stored reasonably. The 8MB shrek thing is very poor quality.
gollark: Simply don't buy them, as they're bad.
gollark: 92 days of music at a reasonable (for listening, not archiving) bitrate of 128kbps.
gollark: You can buy 128GB micro-SD cards. That can store basically all the music you want.
