I was using Ubuntu Linux installed on a USB drive. The install was done with encryption enabled. No server like SSH etc installed. I understand the sites that aren't on Tor being trackable by watching exit nodes.
How would they know what hidden services I went to or Tormail content? Tormail passwords had limitations on them. I don't understand why. The only thing I'm sure wasn't compromised is what I encrypted myself using my PGP key. I altered the GPG source code to create longer keys. -- -------- Original Message -------- From: Thomas White <thomaswh...@riseup.net> Apparently from: tor-talk-boun...@lists.torproject.org To: tor-talk@lists.torproject.org Subject: Re: [tor-talk] Third-parties tracking me on Tor Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 15:54:39 +0100 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > To me your issues sounds like an endpoint security problem, not Tor. > People don't just break the anonymity Tor provides and then just > comment on the cat pictures you are looking at on the internet, they > usually sell it where there is good money offered or report it back > and have it fixed by the tor developers. > > I would make sure your system is free of malware or other local > snooping because what you've described would align in my mind with a > client-side problem, not something of the Tor network. > > On 22/08/2014 15:51, Andrew F wrote: > > I have had people contact me while i was in a technical chat room > > and tell me not only what site I went to but the name of a file I > > down loaded. > > > > > > On Thu, Aug 21, 2014 at 4:54 PM, Anders Andersson > > <pipat...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > >>> After using Tor for some years I realized that third-parties > >>> can > >> determine what sites I visit when watching my internet activity. > >> > >> What do you mean by third-parties? > >> > >> > >> > >>> When I visit hidden services how can they know what site it is > >>> or know > >> what site I visit that's not on Tor? > >> > >> Why do you think they know? > >> > >> > >> > >>> How did they know I was using TorMail when it was available and > >>> the > >> content of the e-mail I sent? > >> > >> Who are "they"? -- tor-talk mailing list - > >> tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other > >> settings go to > >> https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk > >> > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) > > iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJT91muAAoJEE2uQiaesOsLPL4QAL2GCV0ISZPsul6iPXjMumUc > maHJQasI+Wb0cBgejguo6SGWHg9GWqXfcoN+m5R3vi8fyILD1jY5EA+oA8l08Jdr > M+zBm/uHVvEqDaOpCNrdW3MpF6+QWdSIcUDDOAV+KABOky9td9GirsSQY//bJc6D > quana60eDtSWgJkIQ5c66MmIhcDHfMYfCuIpAowLZo+3AQojpODrNjny0wOqRuI1 > 1SyJrv05eiafiUE4JwbPcriVNSwq+FUr/cv5Q64Ja693LJMHQOvvLYjxK5iYCc4z > +7H8kaSwDbywXsTbOGCGRdiPi6Ra5bP6Ee2BiITcIEmb0nXXKM+isvrGsdJeQ/IO > BZCffBoO0hi1yhVOF6hkI4yJ07UdsUiCobRh0nmAB27OZOrF3pj1Mw7DXEYRl3e1 > +whkVqPGJ4tEGqOXC/YliT1mKhG/GIit4OXf7sgaQ5UdoZ6vl43S5IoaLpTGgipq > 5Sqe247qFFf3anOgsGLA/HskdF8NQSZzH56Iv2Mm0xeKu4l9flrF9km5yYT5q7O/ > 8LMaVuETcyKAcQPwxDVOF3pXUB/41sfVLWjD899CBJWJuZrVmHULLwDFDrgnBdZs > Ik5/7PMIX/J0EMH3WoQuru/X9xMSymUk2YdL1ywSG4ofjI9hPHr0ujonwpZIpy+H > 5TT1tZ0kZPhinnEIMMH2 > =grzR > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > -- > tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org > To unsubscribe or change other settings go to > https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
