Description

LANGhost is a Linux anonymity hardening layer for systems managed by NetworkManager. It minimizes identity leakage across multiple network surfaces during connection setup, enforces privacy-focused connection configurations, and implements a fail‑closed mechanism that terminates or isolates connectivity when runtime checks detect unsafe conditions.

What it does

  • Randomizes MAC policy before activation.
  • Assigns a randomized DHCP hostname before activation.
  • Applies a per-activation identity seed for NetworkManager-derived identifiers.
  • Hardens DHCP identity behavior.
  • Enables stronger IPv6 privacy behavior and stable-privacy address generation.
  • Disables local discovery features that can expose system identity on managed links.
  • Quarantines interfaces with tc drop filters during setup.
  • Verifies runtime state after activation and triggers a kill switch on failure.
