Fauxx is an open-source Android privacy tool that poisons data broker and ad-tech profiles by generating continuous, plausible, off-demographic synthetic activity from your device. The goal is simple: make your real behavioral signal statistically indistinguishable from noise.
Not my project, but though this is really cool and worth sharing.
I wonder if you could set up a second phone that is logged in with all your accounts, then use it for FAUXX, currently concerned about battery usage / background usage of device.
Like, does it need to be running continuously ALL DAY to effectively poison? Or is sometimes usage helpful? Second phone idea solid?
Anyone understand the data collection better have thoughts?
This method wouldn’t combat device fingerprinting, so it would be trivial for everyone but the aggregate data brokers to filter out as noise.
For a strategy like this to work, your legitimate traffic needs to be indistinguishable from the random traffic.
So basically it has to be running while you’re using it, and on the device your primarily use?
