Neat. Never heard of it. I’ll take a look. One thing I read about was how Tor/Tails actually made itself more identifiable in some ways by having a “set” kind of user profile fingerprint (blank), and specific screen size/resolution and keyboard used. To actually pose as a real user, then spoofing a bunch of different hardware each time you turn on the OS/Browser seems like it would make you appear more authentic? That was a long time ago, maybe it’s being done already, or there is a reason they don’t that I do not understand. It seems like something they would obviously have thought of. At least in the US we aren’t using those kind of low resolutions as often anymore. When you say it’s based on tor, does it connect to the tor network? That always felt like a red flag for ISPs and spies to look deeper when connecting from say, a residential WiFi connection.
Realistically you can only spoof specific things, spoofing hardware is actually a bad idea oftentimes because its possible to tell that you're doing that. Spoofing certain things like audio readings do make sense tho.
Its based on Tor but its meant to be used with a VPN
