A single mistake can reveal our anonymity, so here is a tool that can help us to make anonymity possible and it is called WHOAMI. It is very useful and has a very simple UI. 

Note: if you are a parrot user then you have to make few changes in the script of the tool. First, you have to open the script where you will get an error and just remove the “\kali-applications” from the path.
