I've read some interesting information on Clock Skew and how this can be fingerprinted and exploited back to you, I believe through the TCP Stack...
I'd like to know if there's a way to just prevent Clock Skew from appearing when you're online and preventing this?
I ran across this;

I wonder if this has to do with the TCP timestamps is all and by disabling this, you're good?
In /etc/sysctl.conf I have this;
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
THANKS

Yes, disabling tcp_timestamps should be enough, according to man 7 tcp. But this will come at some performance penalty.
I guess, by "physical identity" those people meant MAC? I wonder if plain spoofing it via ifconfig/rc.local would work.
Finally, this belongs to general discussions...
