In an effort to undermine the deployment of the data mining tool Phorm by various ISP companies a group of coder has got together to create a tool that will randomly surf the net while you sleep etc messing up any profile data or web usage pattern thats collected by the phorm software.
http://www.antiphorm.com/index.htmYour personal information is a valuable commodity to Phorm and to your ISP. By harvesting the information you divulge every time you surf the internet, BT alone expect to make an additional $170M annually. The increase of data-mining, profiling of you and your surfing habits is a worrying trend, on a global industrial scale. And if they can do it without your legal consent or knowledge, so much the better.
This is just the beginning. There are many similar ambitious commercial and government partnership 'services' in development, corrupted by the prospect of massive profits. In this climate, protecting your identity and safeguarding the interests of your family is paramount to your security and quality of life. Private companies that disregard your rights and record your personal and detailed online surfing behavior is tantamount to them putting CCTV cameras in every room of your house. It appears we can't stop your ISP tracking and selling your surfing behavior but one solution could be to make the data they do collect absolutely worthless to their clients.
We have developed AntiPhormLite to address these issues. AntiPhormLite is an application for the Windows platform designed to protect the interest of internet users and reduce the usefulness of data gathered by Phorm and others before this trend becomes irreversible
You can get the application and its source code from the site above, lets have some fun when and if they deploy Phorm or its clones
