# DAITA vs a global passive adversary > Source: > Published: 2026-09-22 21:46:41+00:00 [blibly](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/u/blibly) 1 For those who don’t know, a global passive adversary is an adversary capable of passively observing all or nearly all internet traffic across the globe. [DAITA](https://mullvad.net/en/vpn/daita) is a protocol developed by Mullvad to resist AI-based packet analysis by obscuring packet patterns. I remember Jonah saying in a video about connecting to Tor through a VPN that a global passive adversary is unlikely to exist, for pretty good reasons. But if one did exist, how effective would DAITA be at resisting it?
