imsaguy: probably a
tor exit node or something
ozbot: The Daily Dot -
Tor and the rise of anonymity networks
nanotube: gecko_x2: yea, but one could avoid using the on-cpu rng. as to
tor: would be even better if we had more nodes. there are only a total of 4k-ish.
gecko_x2: timing the packets that leave your client to the packets that exit an
tor exit node
gecko_x2: another piece of good news is that they are not able to break
TOR pankkake: it's a live cd, which forces everything to go through
tor mircea_popescu: "The advice I shared included using
Tor" for the record, that particular tidbit has most people involved in compsec scratching their heads at schneier.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've also started and aborted a
tor study.
blastbob1: faster than any web on
tor atleast
blastbob1: i was dreaming about a irc based exchange on the
tor network
pankkake: unless you forbid any non-
tor traffic, like Tails does
pankkake: the
tor project explicitely says you should not trust exit nodes
ozbot:
Tor Researcher Who Exposed Embassy E-mail Passwords Gets Raided by Swedish FBI and CIA | Threat Leve
pankkake: anyway, the
tor list of isps is a good source even if you don't care for
TOR mircea_popescu: Arvixe (hosting) Openly and respectfully state that while they dont permit a
TOR exit on shared hosting accounts, you are very welcome to run one on a VPS account.
pankkake: some others that automatically shut you down (I know one who monitors for both
TOR and Freenet)
pankkake: there are many other providers who explicitely say
TOR is OK
BingoBoingo: I mean how wide does the "
tor foundation" advertise their exit bandwidth being? There is not way I get all of the fringe cases exiting and nothing else if this shit ain't random. I'm probably burning some logs and just advertising
Tor as more compromised than imagined.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It apparently seems that
Tor exits have to be honeypots. I've been running on for half of a week and been getting nothing but boring througn MITM attacks. No matter what bandwidth I offer
Tor exits, the
tor seems to adapt n a way that either recognizes me attacking its exits or suggests it is sucking some NSA dick.
BingoBoingo: Like
Tor I imagine it wasn't all of it, but enough of it to clear two or three people.
nubbins`: then i was thinking i could set up a
tor node on a raspi and run the wifi through that
gecko_x2: got my remaining btc transferred off btct in the last min.. over
TOR gribble: ThickAsThieves was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 3 hours, 2 minutes, and 4 seconds ago: <ThickAsThieves> a
tor detector detector
mircea_popescu: it would still not be anyonymous, which is in general a much harder problem than cryptography. which is why bitcoin is secure but not anonymous, and why
tor fails to deliver on anonymity etc.
mircea_popescu: so you can have within
tor this plaintext protocol which nobody can identify
blastbob1: we can put them into more
tor open source development
mircea_popescu: it's possible, but not likely. what happened is that one set of bureaucrats made
tor at great expense, and another set used it in a disaster-of-commons way
mircea_popescu: basically every contact in the "press" is being herded to defend this holy grail of "
tor is actually safe"
ozbot: NSA report on the
Tor encrypted network - The Washington Post
ozbot: Attacking
Tor: how the NSA targets users' online anonymity | World news | theguardian.com
jurov: hence ended the inquiry to add gpg to
tor bundle.
ozbot: [
tor-talk]
Tor Browser Bundle: PGP encryption built-in?
jurov: just have a
tor bundle include gpg proper
ozbot: Attacking
Tor: how the NSA targets users' online anonymity | World news | theguardian.com
mircea_popescu: i'm with asciilifeform's suggestion : that pps is prima facie evidence that the nsa is in fact currently decoding ALL traffic passing through all
tor nodes, linking it to originating ips and storing this mess.
☟︎ pankkake: I wonder if combining
tor and i2p is doable
mjoiii: would this be the first occurrence of a
tor site being taken down?
taub: Ulbricht posted on Stack Overflow using his real name, asking .How can I connect to a
Tor hidden service using curl in php?.. One minute later he changed his username to .frosty., but a subpoena shows the original name.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: course internet ppls were bitching at me about
tor coupla months back or w/e.
pizzaman1337: look at paragraph 22, they talk about how they "located a number of computer servers, ... associated with the operation of Silk Road". So,
Tor = owned
mircea_popescu: this would be nice if it didn't use the exact same verbiage as used to describe
tor, the honeypot network.
Apocalyptic: like Biggy said, FBI runs all the
tor nodes
TAT_Investments: businesses need to be able to raise money and
tor would limit that too much
nubbins`: and i think that businesses directly involved with btc wouldn't see the move to
tor as much of a jump
nubbins`: anyway,
tor-based exchange. arguments against?
nubbins`: yeah, i'm kind of surprised there are no major exchanges hosted on
tor pankkake: and not hidden behind
tor anyway
pankkake: maybe the next step is a
TOR exchange, where everything is allowed
ozbot: [
tor-relays] Reimbursement of Exit Operators
ozbot: Bitcoin,
Tor and Gates Foundation join task force to prevent child exploitation (Wired UK)
jurov: if they combined namecoin with
tor, that makes more sense
pankkake: by the way,
TOR is a step ahead, I found out there is a "revenge porn" website there
mircea_popescu: anyway, in all the aggitation about
tor im surprised nobody mentioned tails.
mircea_popescu: compare the gestapo's action in btc (the turning of gavin) with the gestapo's exact same action in
tor.
Kleeck_: Sure, you can conspiracy theory a lot of scary scenarios, but as we understand
TOR it is a very well thought out network. It's the methods of connectivity that are vulnerable, and a few other points of injection/observation, that don't involve the
TOR network at all.
