I've read a lot about the weaknesses of TOR including traffic fingerprinting and other vulnerability's like the ones used on playpen. Is TOR still secure or is it time to start using tails.
Is TOR Still Secure?
Zachary Moore
David Hill
TOR was made by the US government. What do you think.
Jeremiah Ross
Think before posting op
Adam Gonzalez
It's better than nothing, that's for sure.
Henry Lopez
for this presumption to be effective for the assumed reason of use (that of which being catching criminals) you would need to own more than sixty to seventy percent of nodes. as this is the only attack vector that the us government could possibly benefit from releasing tor for, and we know the us government is malicious, the best assumption is that this is the case to some degree
Christopher Hernandez
Is this actually true or just a conspiracy theory?
Jonathan Jackson
TOR is The Old Republic
Tor is the onion router software & network
cpunks.org and ask this shit, fag
Andrew Baker
TOR / Tor - not much different, by the way.
The (((Public))) via MITniggers via USNavy
Liam Wilson
It has never been secure. I2p is tho
Brandon Bailey
Against everything except the US government, certainly.
Against the US government, hard to say.
Justin Hernandez
What the fuck do you think Tails is using to anonymise its traffic you double nigger?
It's The Onion Routing project you retard.
James Thompson
but it's possible to ban US nodes in settings
checkmate CIA
Asher Martinez
Yes, you shouldn't really be judging things based on whether they're secure against the government, when backdoors are put in stuff on purpose.
What you want is security against other internet users/site owners.
Michael Walker
Is it best to just ban every node from the "fourteen eyes" states?
Juan Johnson
Actually the CIA would be monitoring all the non-US nodes.
Lucas Gray
The CIA monitors all traffic, nigger.
Noah Watson
Well according to vault seven the CIA is still having trouble with it. They can certainly de-anonymize you with browser exploits if they want but the crypto is still solid. For everyone screaming about muh backdoor I would like to see proof in the source code.
Ethan Young
You are right, but you should keep in mind what works and what doesn't in case you ever go up against a government. A small-time criminal can't force a CA your browser trusts to forge a certificate for a MitM — the Turkish government can. If this matters for what you are doing, you have to know about it and prepare in advance. Not all governments are created equal either. The US' government controls major internet infrastructure, Turkey's doesn't. For this reason, I explicitly mentioned the USG rather than governments in general; they might have a large enough picture of the Internet to identify a lot of Tor traffic.
Brandon Turner
Try harder CIA
Jacob Robinson
The US government has set up data collecting facilities all over the world to monitor and capture traffic to use now and in the future. This is why encrypting EVERYTHING you do on the internet makes sense, because big data mining will be a thing in the future where governments will profile anyone who committed though crimes in the past. Because it will get worse before it gets better.
Logan Moore
Not using Tor makes CIA's job easier so I think you might be the undercover agent here.
Ian Brooks
Reading the FAQ at torproject.org might help you out.
Tails is an operating system which is configured to use Tor everywhere it can, and have the same network fingerprint elsewhere, no matter which machine you run on. It also has some Linux security features configured/turned on, which makes it harder to exploit than most of the other Linux distributions.
The Tor Browser Bundle is developed so you have a browser which has less unique browser fingerprint. The software you use and your behaviour make fingerprints. Tor has nothing to do with it.
There has been no knows successful attacks against the Tor Browser Bundle with security level set to High.
Although Tor does not guarantee you 100% anonymity for a connection, the people (like me) who run or ran a safe relay give you a very-very high chance that your connection will be untraceable.
William Wood
I understand that. What I was saying is that the playpen stuff seemed to be problems with browser exploits so I thought tails might be better.
Owen Wilson
"TOR" triggers my autism so bad I instantly lose interest in everything the person who wrote it has to say
Easton Reed
So was Internet. What do you think now?
Cameron Bailey
I wonder that as well, why not simply filter out nodes from suspicious countries?
Lucas Sullivan
They don't pay me to think, only to shit up boards with anti-tor propaganda.
Anthony Sullivan
This is pointless, they could just rent a server in another country and set up a nide there.
Ian Reed
The solution is if the population maintains entry and exit nodes. It's too bad that people are too cheap to dedicate their Internet connection for such purpose.
Jason Reyes
Of course, and I'm sure they do this all over the world. But they probably have way more nodes in countries that cooperate with them in their surveillance, like UK and Germany.
William Smith
Jack Wood
The only question is how strong encryption you should use. Take into account how long you plan to live and how much the technology will advance in that time.
Parker Reyes
Interesting deduction, tell me, what brought you to 8/tech/?
Was it a meme on 9gag, or a post on r/Holla Forums?
Dylan Phillips
Jordan Jenkins
You're the kind of guy who types 'elementaryos', aren't you.
The TOR project didn't invent acronyms, that's not how it works.
