Re:I wonder how much we can trust it
This box only solves the Tor part of the problem. If you continue to use the same browser, you can be tracked.
Best to use a solution like Tails which live boots (from CD or USB) and has Tor and an anonymous browser (plus a bunch of other security stuff).
https://tails.boum.org/And even then, do refrain from visiting your social networking accounts as well as your online bank.
Most people do not realize that their habits will get them noticed, irrespective of network used.

https://tails.boum.org/downloa...#
"TAILS, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 1.1.2, is out.
This release fixes numerous security issues[1] and all users must upgrade[2] as soon as possible.
We prepared this release mainly to fix a serious flaw[3] in the Network Security Services (NSS) library used by Firefox and other products allows attackers to create forged RSA certificates.
Before this release, users on a compromised network could be directed to sites using a fraudulent certificate and mistake them for legitimate sites. This could deceive them into revealing personal information such as usernames and passwords. It may also deceive users into downloading malware if they believe itâ(TM)s coming from a trusted site.
( Changes )
-- Notable user-visible changes include:
- Security fixes
- Upgrade the web browser to 24.8.0esr-0+tails3~bpo70+1
- Install Linux 3.16-1
- Numerous other software upgrades that fix security issues: GnuPG, APT, DBus, Bash, and packages built from the bind9 and libav source packagesSee the online Changelog[4] for technical details."

Tails - The amnesic, incognito, live system
Just putting this out there for fellow Aussies. Fire this up in a VM and you're good to go.
https://tails.boum.org/Tails is a live operating system, that you can start on almost any computer from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card. It aims at preserving your privacy and anonymity, and helps you to:
use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship;
all connections to the Internet are forced to go through the Tor network;
leave no trace on the computer you are using unless you ask it explicitly;
use state-of-the-art cryptographic tools to encrypt your files, emails and instant messaging.Yes, I know it's not perfect and possibly contains bugs, but against the proposed Aus Govt surveillance, it's a very quick and easy workaround.

"Exploit Dealer: Snowden's Favourite OS TAILS Has Zero-Day Vulnerabilities Lurking Inside"
Thomas Brewster | Security | 7/21/2014 @ 2:14PM
http://www.forbes.com/sites/th...
#$%#
"The flaws work on the latest version of TAILS and allow for the ability to exploit a targeted user, both for de-anonymisation and remote code execution," said Loc Nguyen a researcher at Exodus. Remote code execution means a hacker can do almost anything they want to the victimâ(TM)s system, such as installing malware or siphoning off files.
"Considering that the purpose of TAILS is to provide a secure non-attributable platform for communications, users are verifiably at-risk due to these flaws. For the TAILS platform, privacy is contingent on maintaining anonymity and ensuring their actions and communications are not attributable. Thus, any violation of those foundational pillars should be considering highly critical," added Nguyen. This affects every user of TAILS, who should all "diversify security platforms so as not to put all your eggs in one basket", he added.
All users, including Snowden, should be wary of using TAILS with a false sense of security, though itâ(TM)s still more likely to protect anonymity than Windows. Exodus sells to private and public businesses hoping to use the findings for either offensive or defensive means. Those unconcerned about governments targeting their systems might not be concerned about the TAILS zero-days. Others will likely be anxious one of their trusted tools to avoid government hackers contains vulnerabilities that could be exploited to spy on any user of the OS."

Re:Kinda Like Mega
An app won't give you much anonymity. You need to start from the ground up with an OS that leaves no trace on the hardware and has good encryption and anonymity tools built in.
Here's a good start: TAILS

Re:How about the nodes
Keep in mind that if they decide your node IS worthy of being attacked, you won't have the resources to defend against every known and currently-unknown exploit, so you should assume you've already been compromised and mitigate accordingly.
If they think your node is worthy of attack, even a moderate defense will simply cause them to take it down or busy it up, such that users of interest move to another node.
That could ultimately be the thing that finally sends the rest of Tor's users to I2P: With Tor's opt-in relays, a P2P ethic does not take hold. With I2P there is more spreading of the network load, and someone wanting to DOS a node would have to at least contribute a lot more bandwidth back to the rest of the network (which has the side-effect of freeing up bandwidth for the node being attacked). Not contributing bandwith back creates the risk that other nodes will stonewall you... its not unlike bittorrent in that respect (and is the main reason why bittorrent works fully on I2P).
-
Re:duh..
A good first step would be to put Tails OS on a bootable USB drive and only use that to access tor services.
-
Re:Is anybody surprised?
Use an old MSI wind or Asus EEPC netbook or something else you buy cheap off eBay with no harddrive, boot tails ( https://tails.boum.org/ ) from a thumbdrive.
That's your spending PC.
What would make it slightly more convenient would be a bitcoin addon to import the private keys from the webcam, so you don't have to type it in from your printed wallet.
-
Re:Very poor advice
It's trivial to use Tor in a secure fashion. In fact, if you need the security provided by Tor, chances are you're better off doing it this way instead:
1) Download Tails
2) Burn to CD
3) Boot disk
4) Use TorHow hard was that?
(Personally, I use IE5 and Windows 2000 for Tor. Nobody's going to try to exploit that... and yes, I'm kidding.)
-
Re:Be smarter
Good lord, it's not that difficult! Use The Amnesiac Incognito Live System (TAILS), a live CD from: https://tails.boum.org/. When Iceweasel (the browser in TAILS) fires up, turn off Javascript and cookies. Then surf over TOR without worries from this exploit.
If you need Javascript and cookies, you can still be secure with only a bit more work.
Whonix, a new profile, and a VPN are overkill. The folks (not here) saying you need to run it all inside a VM have simply gone round the bend.

Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) R/O system
A LiveCD with TBB:

in both instances unplug your HDD(s) before use.

Re:Take the warnings seriously!
Better use the Tor browser bundle from a clean system,
...unless you are really sure you know what you are doing.A clean system on your own system is available for free by dropping in this and re-booting. It's what I use to introduce people to TOR.

Tails - new unofficial project to nip the buds
(Please see the
.onion link at the bottom of this article for where to respond and help this project with your suggestions. Please do not post at the Tails forums, Tor mailing lists, or in IRC - we are only checking the existing thread at the .onion location below, which requires Tor to access.)In a few areas of the Tails Forums, (one example below) Tails users have posted about certain 'data collection, logging, debugging, Whisperback', and other issues a distro such as Tails should not include!
I am working on a project which will stop this type of collection and it will be free and released with each new version of Tails (it won't be included with the Tails distro or worked on by Tails/Tor developers) â" matching any changes the Tails team may make to try and obscure these data logging/collection activities between versions.
Here is one example post from a concerned user (post exists now, could be deleted later!):
Why does Tails log too much?
.recently-used.xbel
https://tails.boum.org/forum/Why_does_Tails_log_too_much__63___.recen%E2%80%8Btly-used.xbel/#
An example of this is this hidden file:
.recently-used.xbel located in amnesia folder. To see, open Home/amnesia, press Cntrl+h, look for that file. The contents of that file logs recently used programs and files with names and timestamps.There are many other logs for different activities and events, a simple look around can locate these.
Caching thumbnails, recent documents, terminal command history and the similar..
Why would Tails need to log all these things during the session?
Some are useful for bug reporting, but many other arent and are widely revealing of system activities.
Yes, a restart will wipe everything, but what about while in the session?
Can an option be made for Tails to be log free or normal where the user can choose between the two? Like run log free and if a problem occurs to re-run tails with logs to identify the problem.â
#
There are debugging scripts, Whisperback, a script to drop all firewall protection, and much more in Tails.
I need more information from Tails users (Tails developers and those pretending not to be Tails developers posting against this will be ignored) before the first release is announced.
Boot into Tails and examine every nook and cranny and post about any file(s) with full path, which contain anything related to logging (excluding
/var/log directories â" those will be dealt with) and/or sending of individual personal data.On their mailing list they even had the balls to discuss whether or not they should add the package 'popcon'!
This project will be developed by an anonymous user (not included in the well known 'Anonymous' group). I will not reveal usernames from posters here, but I may credit this forum with each release with thanks for the help.
So boot into the most recent release of Tails, sniff around as much as possible, and post back juicy information to the thread in 'NEWS': http://clsvtzwzdgzkjda7.onion/
Thank you.

Why would Tails need to log all these things during the session?
Some are useful for bug reporting, but many other arent and are widely revealing of system activities.
Yes, a restart will wipe everything, but what about while in the session?
Can an option be made for Tails to be log free or normal where the user can choose between the two? Like run log free and if a problem occurs to re-run tails with logs to identify the problem.â

There are debugging scripts, Whisperback, a script to drop all firewall protection, and much more in Tails.
I need more information from Tails users (Tails developers and those pretending not to be Tails developers posting against this will be ignored) before the first release is announced.
Boot into Tails and examine every nook and cranny and post about any file(s) with full path, which contain anything related to logging (excluding
/var/log directories â" those will be dealt with) and/or sending of individual personal data.On their mailing list they even had the balls to discuss whether or not they should add the package 'popcon'!
This project will be developed by an anonymous user (not included in the annoying 'Anonymous' group). I will not reveal usernames from posters here, but I may credit this forum with each release with thanks for the help.
So boot into the most recent release of Tails, sniff around as much as possible, and post back juicy information to the thread in 'NEWS': http://clsvtzwzdgzkjda7.onion/

TAILS OS - private project to secure it
In a few areas of the Tails Forums, (one example below) Tails users have posted about certain 'data collection, logging, debugging, Whisperback', and other issues a distro such as Tails should not include!
I am working on a project which will stop this type of collection and it will be free and released with each new version of Tails (it won't be included with the Tails distro or worked on by Tails/Tor developers) â" matching any changes the Tails team may make to try and obscure these data logging/collection activities between versions.
Here is one example post from a concerned user (post exists now, could be deleted later!):
