I decided on a whim to mirror "Network Forensics Evasion: How to Exit the Matrix" on my server, at least temporarily. This fairly elaborate text describes a number of technical (and some non-technical) means of hiding and obfuscating your "data trails". While this traditionally has mainly been a concern of crackers and dissidents, it's of increasing interest to the average consumer.

I just started reading, so I can't say much about the quality of the document.

The text comes with a disclaimer:

I try to be as operating system agnostic as possible, providing information for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. However, novice computer users who are uncomfortable tweaking settings, editing configuration files, and occasionally using the command line probably will struggle with much of the material regardless of OS [...] Due to the open and readily customizable nature of the system, the Linux material probably will be the most well developed.
