The results from thorough research of the Kindle's back-end linux system has led us to believe that we have successfully identified the scripts that lab128 wrote for the remote backup of log files.
The files in question:
/usr/sbin/syslog-ng - syslog server and logging daemon
/usr/sbin/loginfo - pulls specific info from syslog
/usr/sbin/tinyrot - rotates log files to be pulled from remote servers
/usr/sbin/showlog - specifies which log file to send
The bash script simply links all these binaries to /dev/null rendering them useless. I have been using my Kindle 3 with no problems, I am able to email to my device and access the Amazon bookstore. This script will also work with the Kindle 3G, however it remains untested.
Requires Jailbroken Kindle with ssh/usbnetwork access.
Instructions:
1. Download the files -
http://gitbrew.org/kindlesec/
2. Place kindlesec.sh on your Kindle via USB
3. mntroot rw
4. cd /mnt/us
5. ./kindlesec.sh
Enjoy your privacy.

We are hoping to raise enough to procure the latest Kindle model released with ads. If we can get access to one we will be able to create custom screensaver updates to replace them.
Let the research continue!
