kloak: Keystroke-level online anonymization kernel

SMRTR summary

A new privacy tool called kloak aims to protect users from keystroke biometrics identification. It works by adding random delays between key press and release events, making it harder to analyze typing patterns. Users can run kloak as an application or Linux service, with adjustable delay settings to balance privacy and usability. While effective against some keystroke analysis methods, kloak does not protect against all forms of typing-based identification.
