On July 4, 2024, the Community Call was held to end the first season of the Nym Squad League, where participants presented impressive projects and events. Oleksandr from RawBox showed a tracking demo in action, and Sudo and Hux announced the best missions, new Nymja and Shinobi titles 🥷, and the final leaderboard.
Oleksandr from RawBox Squad investigated how Nym mixnet counteracts traffic analysis by comparing network traffic patterns across clearnet, Tor, VPN, and mixnet using open source tools such as Wireshark and Python scripts. He showed that the applications have predictable patterns of behaviour that are easy to track, but that Nym mixnet effectively breaks them up, making analysis more difficult. His work includes analyses of Bitcoin transactions, node synchronisation, and video streaming, demonstrating how mixnet ensures privacy.
RawBox squad member crptcpchk has created a detailed Nym mixnode and gateway installation guide, explaining how Nym mixnet ensures network traffic privacy, outperforming VPNs and Tor through encryption, metadata mixing, and a decentralised reward model. The guide covers server preparation, installation, service setup, node bonding via NYM wallet, and useful commands for updates and monitoring.
