every seconds you're surfing the web, you are leaving informations about your presence in routers,
webservers, and so on...
these informations are vital stuff for companies that grab your behaviors and make money sending to you
spam and other usefulness things...
what about hacking?
the difference between a legal and illegal penetration test is often minimal, especially regarding which assets you're trying to penetrate with or without an explicit permit...
when the DARK POWER make you a Black Hat, you don't want to leave your IP logged everywhere, when you're
sending malicious javascripts or other injection things to targets...
so start to use Privoxy and Tor..
google them...
they are great tools, highly configurable an secure...
Tor is based on the Onion Routing principle, so every packet is forwarded to a lot of routers before to arrive to the correct destination...in this way you can be sure that at least doing web penetration tests you will be not taken by policy :)
just remember to add:
forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
to your /etc/privoxy/config file (don't forgot the dot at the end of the line)
use Firefox with Firebugs, and a proxy switcher like FoxyProxy...
check your IP with some IP-detctors website...or just with google...you will see
that the page will be loaded in a different language than yours (different IP - different location)
here below some logs of privoxy:
