I want to give something back to the community and I was wondering if there was any way to share a file (to pirates) so that it won’t be traced back to me? What precautions should I take? Is there metadata attached to the file? How does your computer remember a modification date and date create, is it embedded into it?

I am talking about audiobooks btw, I have downloaded a ton of audiobooks and I want to send it somewhere where others can download it for free after an internet search. So yeah, I do want to make it untraceable. But for this scenario, you are free to assume that I have the nuclear codes or a new virus genome (I wonder which one is deadlier)

    Get rid of the metadata, there are programs for that but I don’t know any of them. Share the file using OnionShare.

      +1 for Onionshare.

      If you’re just giving it to just one person, send it this way. If you wanted to be extra safe (after stripping metadata), you could even encrypt it using their public key first so that it’s unclear what the data is before you give it to them.
