Shaddow, stringberg, so fooled and fcastle beware, your days are numbered

It's been used to question or confirm the authorship of Shakespeare's plays, Homer's Illiad and Odyssey and St Paul's letters for hundreds of years.

Now the science of stylometry could be used in the fight against hackers, trolls and malware writers that wreak havoc on the web.

At the same time, stylometry - the analysis of a person's unique writing style – could also be used by employers to identify whistleblowers or whingers among their staff.

"Your writing style can give you away and on the internet anonymity is difficult to achieve," say the US researchers who have developed online tools to analyse writing.

The researchers, from Drexel University in Philadelphia, studied the leaked conversations and contributions of hundreds of anonymous users in underground online forums.

They were able to identify 80 per cent of users using stylometric analysis to match writing styles to authors.

"Most people are not aware how sensitive their writing style can be,” said Sadia Afroz, one of the researchers and a PhD candidate in computer science.

The findings could have repercussions for anyone who doesn't want their writing to be traced back to them. "I read many long anonymous answers... on very confidential stuff [like illegal drug use or confidential information about a prisoner] that can put the writers in danger if their identities are known," she said.

“People share very confidential information thinking that they are anonymous.”

There is also potential for law enforcement and government agencies to use these techniques on underground markets for stolen goods, phishing kits and malware tools - although a large amount of data is required to achieve results.

A minimum of 5000 words was required for analysis to be performed, greatly culling the list of potential targets in the US research. The study, which used the “gold standard” of 6500 words, was presented to an audience at the 29C3 Chaos Communication Congress in Germany in late December.

Hiding behind different anonymous accounts was no longer possible, even if authors used different IP addresses or coded languages such as the Internet alphabet called leetspeak, Ms Afroz said.

Word choice, sentence structure, syntax and punctuation are all giveaways.

Thanks Bobby. I see that you are excited about an article which offers the possibility of illegally revealing real identities and end anonymity on the internet.

Your desire, and especially Bullion Baron's, to reveal my true identity is well known. From your's and Bullion Baron's extensive blogs and posts about me it is very clear that you have devoted many hours of research to trying to uncover and reveal my real identity to all. I am very flattered by the attention and I am very pleased to learn that you are continuing to wastefully devote your limited energies to this absolutely illegal objective.

I don't know if you have twigged, but you need to realise that you can only hope to achieve your objective through this new "science" if you have available some output of mine issued under my real identity with which you can compare my output here. That might be a tough challenge if no such output exists on the internet. Anyway, keep up the research.

PS - Have you realised that I might still be that bald bloke at Coldwell Bankers who you, along with many other duped fools, telephoned and annoyed to try and establish that he was me? How often have you harassed Liam Patterson in your's and Bullion Baron's quest to establish that he is Shadow? How about those contacts you made with that LJ Hooker chap when you believed he was Bear Trap? Keep it up. One day you may get more than you expect.

I don't remember anyone called "Tinpusher" on CreditCrunch.

Why would I take a photo of his house?

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
