Anonymous browsing seems to be a bigger problem in today's world and Wi-Fi connection has been used by millions of users and also facing many problems. Recently a new device has been developed to connect to Wi-Fi over 2.5 miles.
There are many anonymous services like TOR proxy and VPN service but in that services too if the IP address of the client is known then the anonymous nature of client has been lost and all the packets can be intercepted.
Security Researcher Benjamin developed a new device named as #ProxyHam that can be used to connect to the Wi-Fi that are within a distance of 2.5 miles away.
The device #ProxyHam has three antennas. One antenna is used to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot at public places and the other two can be used to transmit the data at 900 MegaHertz Frequency.
The 900 MHz transmission is not identified by many intercepting devices and it is developed on a Rasperry Pi computer and it has the power to transmit the data at low frequency.
The other features that can be implemented in future by the Researcher to include the Self Destruction and it can be made to fix in a small box.
According to the developer it offers complete anonymicity and stability in transmission of data over low frequency.
The product and the blueprint along with the Hardware Specification is about to be released on the DefCon Conference at Los Angeles next month.
