Better download Tor while you still can/may.

I seriously don't get what justifies this-- I don't understand what Blackphone offers beyond what a well-patched Android phone-- especially one built from existing ROM project sources--does not already have. Okay, blackphone has encryption (but that's standard on Android), a "security center" which I don't see as being much different from the privacy settings in CyanogenMod (is it?), some pre-installed wifi apps you can get elsewhere... whisper systems-like encrypted chat and redphone-like functionality... anything else?

If I'm reading the reviews right, these are all pre-bundled together for the lazy and perhaps the very very trusting... but is that really worth a $50m investment? Isn't this available for free?

If you don't like closed-source stuff getting rid of gapps is good but.. . are the phone's binary blobs for sensors, camera, radio, gpu, etc open sourced and audited too? Are the accelerometer privs removed from normal apps? Is this phone resistant to exploitation via stolen OTA keys?

How is this $50m better than Jacob Appelbaum's $100 modified Modified Moto e?

I tried to post a comment similar to the one below under this thread. Not at all surprising that the moderator didn't allow it through:

Given Tor's "Solidarity against online harassment", how long until the Tor network is intentionally compromised by the developers at the behest of the SJWs and the Cathedral (a term coined by Mencius Moldbug used to describe the Harvard-US government axis) to unmask and dox those engaging in so-called "harrassment", defined as 'anyone who expresses mere disagreement with an SJW or the political Left in general'?

According to their most recent financial statements, TOR remains the US government tool it always has been:

https://www.torproject.org/abo...

As for the compromise of TOR, one need only determine how many exit nodes are either owned outright by your intel agency of choice (+allies) or at least are on snooped networks. This, taken together with known attacks on TOR, should tell you how well events on the network may be correlated.

Add to human error, zero-day attacks and compromised services.

Oh, and by the way, if any government really wants to go after you, all they really need to do is prove that you operate a TOR relay, then press conspiracy charges against you, since the traffic is known to be quite hot.

I was in China last summer. Essentially exactly the same thing happened to me, although I was using SOCKS5/ssh not PPTP. My girlfriend and I subsequently had a hell of a time playing Heroes 3 for Linux remotely even when not using ssh, so they must have shit-listed my IP address. Then, a few months later, everything magically started working again and the ssh proxy my girlfriend was using worked fine. So did Heroes 3, thankfully.

During the shit-listed time, I came across this list: https://www.torproject.org/doc...

Another option might be this: http://www.nocrew.org/software...

One of these options might be enough into fooling them the traffic isn't encrypted. Ultimately, if there's a way of exchanging data, there's a way of getting around the block. It's just a question of obfuscation.

China doesnt use a handful of pf rules, they use a comprehensive array of filtering, DPI, and firewalling techniques. They've been known to actively probe VPN services to determine whether they are allowable, implement real-time updated keyword content filtering, and forge RST packets for any "undesirable" content.

They are also incredibly proactive about nullifying workarounds; ask the Tor guys how their efforts with e.g. obfsproxy and obfs2 went. Really good at circumventing the GFW for a year or so until it ended up 100% blocked just like stock OpenVPN.

Either way its difficult to defend the idea that China intentionally did this

No, its not, it fits 100% in with their existing (bad) relationship with google.

when google gladly censors their search results and complies with all local regulations.

Your information is about 5 years out of date. Ever since the Aurora hacks in 2010, Google has ceased all cooperation with the Chinese government on that front, and has ceased filtering on their end. They have in fact on a number of occasions worked to alert users when third party tampering has occurred, which has led to a number of confrontations with the Chinese gov't. Notably, in June of this year, China completely blocked Google prior to the TIanenmen Square anniversary.

Google remains a sterling partner of the chinese leadership in their quiet, tacit business participation in what for all intents and purposes amounts to a capitalist dictatorship with a communist logo.

Except for the part where they are the one major internet company NOT cooperating with them, while Microsoft and Yahoo continue to do so. Hope you dont use Skype over there.

It's probably a similar combo of the flaw+sybil attack less then a year ago. Which then they only needed to stand up 115 (6% of the total) relays.
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-security-advisory-relay-early-traffic-confirmation-attack

... and be done with it. Isn't this what the BadExit flag is for?

And yet somehow, there is always a key - some centralized process somewhere that is the Achilles' heel.

And this is why there are hundreds of root DNS servers with over a dozen "names" (list).

TOR has (or had) "directory servers." Although it was discarded as not being practical, TOR or its predecessors considered using fully-distributed directory information (see 2004 documentation). TOR now has the option of using bridge-nodes. The addresses of these nodes are typically distributed "out of band" (e.g. by email or personal contact) on a need-to-use basis.

In short, "centralized servers" are not a bad thing as long as there are enough of them without any significant risk of common failure (short of a catastrophic event that would take down the whole Internet or for that matter the whole planet).

That might be fine in theory, but who knows in what agreements in the future those governments will engage in? Perhaps it'll even be secret and you won't even know it. I think tor is a better choice. It's distributed and not bound to any particular company or country.

Except TOR is bad for torrents.

Besides this, the nebulous threat of some global co-operation over copyright enforcement is delusional to say the least.

If such a threat became credible, you'd just switch VPN providers to another country.

Dude, I know I'm in late and posting as AC, but I think it is important to note that Tor has had a number of US government sponsors in its past including:

US Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (2013-2015)
National Science Foundation joint with Georgia Tech and Princeton University (2012-2016)
Naval Research Laboratory (2006-2010)
DARPA and ONR via Naval Research Laboratory (2001-2006)

Tor accepts anonymous donations as well.

Stop with the hyperbole. Stop using your family as a lame excuse. Donating to the Tor Project is not going to put you on a watch list. If you aren't interested that's fine, but stop spreading the BS.

Just use TorBrowser.

As I understand the Tor process, every tine I fire up Tor it randomly chooses an exit node(*).

Suppose I am running some exit nodes (as the NSA is suspected of doing). If I want to find the location of a hidden service I just fire up Tor and access an onion website with a specific tempo. If one of my exit nodes shows traffic with that tempo, then I know that's the exit node for this onion connection and I can trace the exit connection(**).

If you access the site many times, eventually the statistical nature of the tempo (in your own exit node) will be apparent among the random noise of other traffic. If you do the process many times, eventually you'll find a strong statistical evidence for the target IP address.

How many Tor exit nodes does the FBI run? How much time can they put into discovering each site? Can tempo-based access be automated?

See here for more info. From a paper published in 2011 comes the quote:

In this thesis we tested three correlation algorithms. [...] We found that while the two previously-existing algorithms we tested both have problems that prevent them being used in certain cases, our algorithm works reliably on all types of data.

This would be my guess.

(*) For the onion protocol it's listed as a rendezvous point and there's some protocol negotiation, but it's essentially an exit node.

(**) Actually it's even simpler. Tor reports the IP address of your exit node - just keep starting Tor until the exit node is a system you control.

On how they got the address: https://lists.torproject.org/p...

This is how .onion addresses are made: https://gitweb.torproject.org/...

Then they hash the key (using SHA-1), and base32-encode the first 80 bits (first half of the hash).

Making Tor dead simple to use is great, but this is such a nice device for three-letter agencies to target inserting a backdoor into.

While that is a possibility(albeit one that could theoretically be ameliorated, barring hardware-level backdoors, by 'here's how to build Tor from mainline and replace our firmware' documentation), I'd be more worried about the fact that Tor isn't dead simple.

The project itself has a list of handy warnings concerning What Not To Do on Tor and expect the anonymity to keep working, even assuming there are no unknown attacks and vulnerabilities at play. Tor has no magical ability to scrub dangerously identifying information from the assorted dumb, lazy, or just plain user-hostile chatter generated by various programs on your computer. It also, as a necessary side effect of its design, exposes some traffic to the exit node, which requires that you be careful about SSL/TLS for anything that the exit node shouldn't see.

That's what makes me nervous about the projects(hardware or software, boxes like this or Android VPN plugins, or whatever) that make it dead easy to route all traffic through Tor. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, that probably isn't what you want. Your day-to-day OS is very likely to be far too dangerously chatty(which means that you really shouldn't use it at all, unless booted to a liveCD; with the Tor browser bundle, that passes only traffic from the Tor browser as a distant second best); but you definitely shouldn't just plug it into the magic Tor box. Some applications you just don't want going through Tor at all. If the traffic is intrinsically personally identifying the best case is that you'll gain nothing and the worst case is that you'll be less secure than you were.

Things that keep people from running the browser bundle on their poxed XP machines and expecting anonymity are good; but Tor simply isn't easy to use, even if it is made easy to set up, and that can bite you in the ass.

The three-letter agencies don't need to insert a backdoor. All they need to do is operate a bunch of Tor exit nodes.

As soon as you use Tor for everyday activities you are effectively not anonymous anymore.

Example: You set up the WiFi router and start doing your secret stuff. The bad guys have no idea who's behind the connection.
Then the jogging app on your iPhone connects over the same Tor tunnel. It opens an unencrypted connection to a "share my run" server, and now the bad guys know your email address, weight, and the GPS coordinates of the route you ran this morning. They don't even have to tap your or the server's connection. They get the information directly from their own exit node. (I.e. easier than if you had not been running Tor. Anyone can do this. Not just the three-letter agencies.)

Want anonymity? Install the Tor Browser. Then only use it for the anonymous stuff. Never visit any of the sites you ordinarily frequent.

SSL is already a great step, but they should also try to find ways to work over tor:

Those stories must be a lie and they were really running Windows, right? Oh and there are plenty of other examples to be found.

- Stop using proprietary software at all. Yes, yes, HeartBleed nothing is safe bla bla bla. I'm not talking about safe, though; I'm talking about safer. And FOSS is, objectively, a safer environment, and will remain so even after it becomes popular.

Open SSL has not only Heartbleed but CCS Injection Vulnerability and many more vulnerabilities, GnuTLS & Apple's SecureTransport (yes it is "free software") had the goto fail problem, Debian OpenSSL with broken entropy generation and predictable keys, Android's SecureRandom using weak entropy for it's PRNG, etc. The list really can go on and on and on.

ie bi-directional gov/spy communication that would hide the source and destination from another gov or telco in the middle ie intelligence usage, security technology.
But once a system like that is seen in the wild, it is trackable. You need to hide that under huge amounts of people seeking free speech in oppressive regimes.

You can spin up your own Tor exit node in Austria here: http://lowendbox.com/tag/austria/

Or, if you prefer, you can just donate to people that are running nodes here: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#RelayDonations

How about open wifi over Tor - that would allow you to share but avoid problems associated with liability for actions done on your connection and an ISP would have a job proving you were sharing their network capacity too.

All you need is a router that supports multiple SSID's and segmentation of them, a couple of clever firewall rules and Tor's Transparent Proxy support.

Yes, and here's how to do it:
https://www.torproject.org/pro...

I've been running an obfuscated bridge for about a year now. Setting up was pretty easy and it's been pain-free since then, especially since bandwidth usage limits can be set.

For the uninitiated, a bridge is basically an unpublished entry point into the Tor system; unpublished means you have to send an email to or visit a certain server to be given the address of just one rather than being in the directory for all to see at once, meaning that it's harder for a censor to block. An obfuscated bridge also runs the obfs proxy, which attempts to hide Tor traffic from monitors like the Great Firewall.

The bridge isn't running in China, the user connects to it from China.
Here's a little info https://www.torproject.org/doc...

It won't work. Some students will use cell phone modems and others will set up VPN connections to the outside and absolutely nobody would access any of the paid for content directly. For some enlightenment, introduce your board members to the TOR Browser Bundle: https://www.torproject.org/pro... Even airports, which have the ultimate captive audience, are now going free and open - for example the Vienna airport. So, you will have a whole shitload of schlepp and no hope in hell of making any money.

https://www.torproject.org/

and you're just another exit node up one day and down the next.

track me, bitch.

"TOR has so few users that you're going to end up being identified as "Oh, you're the one visitor I have that's using TOR!"

Actually, when you visit EFF's panopticlick while using Tor, you have a common user agent, versus a non-Tor browser which is very unique. Yes, the exit node IP gives you away, but there are countermeasures.

One solution is to use Startpage's free web proxy, especially through Tor. They spoof your user agent which changes often.

Tor has a lot of users:

http://metrics.torproject.org/

Sadly though recently a lot of bots have appeared, skewing the results.

Sneaker Net: Decentralized peer to peer data exchanges using paper, punched cards, scrolls, stone tablets, bits of knotted string and other primitive methods such as the Postals Services get humans to the personal computing explosion.

Prior to mid 1980's: Software doesn't have patents yet, no innovation could have happened before this point.

Software Patents: Due to government restriction on innovation in the 1980's Personal Computers instantly appear. Some say it is a conspiracy, involving E.T.s

ARPANET: After millions of years of primitive communication, humans finally test peer to peer data routing on machines, and one day this becomes the Internet. Semaphores and Radios remain a CIA Hoax!

FIDONET: The Internet (being designed by committee) takes too damn long so the citizenry say, "Well, fuck that let's do it our selves", because of long distance fees and the FCC the Internet wins over a more decentralized approach.

The WWW: A centralized approach to digital file sharing. In ignorance of all prior human history (including such one-to-many landmark designs such as Hollering, Signal Fires and Television), HTML and DNS fails to leverage the Internet's capabilities fully, creates lots of needless bottlenecks at the data silohs it erects, enables censorship, and spying on data consumption for the first time. (Librarians shudder, and eventually the state takes away the right to privacy in dead-tree reading material too, because "Turrist!").

Distributed File Sharing: Online decentralized information transfers, tries to make the data storage work the way the Internet, and every-"bloody"-thing else does. Fine upstanding citizens understand such technologies can only be used for, evil (I mean, just look at rumors, gossip, repeating camp-fire stories, and brains).

Tor: Online Anonymity to fight the dumb-ass "features" of the centralized web's design. This centralized approach to anonymity fails because it's fucking laggy and it bounces data between endpoints instead of placing the technology in the IP routers.

Anonymous P2P: Anonymous (somewhat) Distributed File Sharing, lays the groundwork for what will replace the WWW.

Dead Drops: Offline decentralized digital information transfers, because "Oh yeah!", the FIDONET approach and packet routing doesn't actually need wires; Sneakernet v2.0 don't even need broadcast radios -- as if such things had ever existed.

DTN: NASA tries to figure out how Disruption Tolerant Networking would work, but completely ignores that DHT infohashes deduplicate the fucking data. Meanwhile, users of napster, Bittorrent, WoW game installers, and dark-age-couriers scratch their heads vigorously and realize since "information conveyance isn't rocket science" space agencies pretty much suck at it.

Web 4.2.0: Finally mirroring, life, the universe and everything, the web becomes decentralized too, because caches should talk to each other Derp! You mostly pull from neighbors so tracking your online habits has exponential cost. There is no more "fast lane", everything essentially has free collocation, and the more popular content is the more available and faster it comes in. The world's surviving sysops give a collective shrug and say, "well, that finally happed." (Marijuana is also universally legalized, purely by coincidence).

Terrestrial DTN: A NASA engineer, once fined for using Bittorrent, takes a break from rolling out the DTN and realizes it would cost a lot less if everyone just owned their own software defined short-wave radio to operate the

Heres the slides (warning TS//) http://apps.washingtonpost.com... They are from 2007, before iPhone came out. Much has changed since then.

NSA capabilities now include tapping phones of an entire country this is even U// by now https://firstlook.org/theinter...

Since Tor was identified as interesting in 2007 and since it hasn't died, it is safe to assume efforts are continuing to be applied against it.

And no, I don't have access to Internet scale data streams here, just using the standard Tor disclaimer at https://www.torproject.org/abo... but even 10 minutes is a long time if you have constant near-realtime communication.

Of course, Tor would be very effective for messaging services where you send one message and then disconnect!
