Abstract

Currently, there are several approaches to provide anonymity on the Internet. However, one can still identify anonymous users through their writing style. With the advances in neural network and natural language processing research, the success of a classifier when accurately identify the author of a text is growing. On the other hand, new approaches that use neural networks for automatic generation of obfuscated texts have also arisen to fight anonymity adversaries. In this work, we present Lince, a tool that implements two machine learning state-of-art text obfuscation approaches.
