That 800 number of users was years ago at a very very early beta stage, which means that Tor has had attention drawn to it by some fairly intelligent people for a very long time. Just using it may give you . some extra attention. The only "trick" tha

Well, It is possible that particular project was ended on that particular machine. I left after seeing the list. Some one who left the front door wide open might not like regular visitors and complain about it. I might have a backup of the eight hundred laying around though. I think they were o

What if the majority of the relays or even a large fraction are not playing by those rules? Why not 4 or 5 hops? Will too much traffic will over burden the network and slow it down? On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 10:23 PM, Blake Hadley wrote: > On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 8:26 PM, Rick Evans wr

Been there done that. The Idea was so cool that when the company I worked for needed a little help reducing the prototype down to a single circuit board and their result came back, "made in japan" they settled out of court for $1,000,000. The contract stipulated that all finished products were to

Tor was broken in beta long before it mainstream. What would you day if I said there was a list of every tor user and relay and that list was started when there were as few as 800 users??? Saw the list way back when. the government is willing to spend 7.55 billion to get into our shorts at the a

What the guy was talking about was to use your own custom loadable driver to handle access to Interrupts 21 and 9. There are drivers already in place in the bios that normally handle this function. At the hardware level in the bios though if these routines happen to be malware then any use of the

Cheating is always easier. What about discouraging the number of exit routers and salting the network with compromised servers? That could and probably already has been done.. So cracking tor becomes relatively trivial from a government standpoint should they decide it is needed. Now about messa
