Mixmaster anonymous remailer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mixmaster is an 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. Mixmaster was originally written by Lance Cottrell, and is now maintained by Len Sassaman and Peter Palfrader. Current Mixmaster software can be compiled to handle Cypherpunk messages as well; they are needed as reply blocks for nym servers.
