Unless the FBI was able to catch the messages on the fly, it is incredibly unlikely that anything would be left on the disk or in RAM. Even if there was something, it would just point back to a previous Mixmaster node. Because Mixmaster is high latency / store and forward, it has much better security characteristics than a real time / low latency system like TOR. I spent a lot of time on the design to protect against this kind of thing.

Beta Version of Nevercookie Released 77

wiredmikey writes "Anonymizer has released a beta version of Nevercookie, the recently announced Firefox plugin designed to protect against the Evercookie, a JavaScript API built and made available to prove that the more you store and the more places you store it, the harder it is for users to control a Web site's ability to uniquely identify their computer. Evercookie is a more persistent form of cookie that enables the storage of cookie data in a number of different locations, such as Flash cookies and various locations of HTML5 storage. This allows websites to track user behavior even when users have enabled private browsing. Because an Evercookie stores data in locations outside of where standard cookies are stored, an Evercookie can rebuild itself unless users go through a number of steps to completely clear and reset their local storage."
