Computer's Heat May Unmask Anonymized PCs
Virtual_Raider writes "Wired is carrying a story about a method developed by security researchers to identify computers hiding behind anonymity services. From the article: 'His victim is the Onion Router, or "Tor" — a sophisticated privacy system that lets users surf the web anonymously. Tor encrypts a user's traffic, and bounces it through multiple servers, so the final destination doesn't know where it came from. Murdoch set up a Tor network at Cambridge to test his technique, which works like this: If an attacker wants to learn the IP address of a hidden server on the Tor network, he'll suddenly request something difficult or intensive from that server. The added load will cause it to warm up.'"

consider the parent posters ID: 25287
:P
consider your id: 223197
then, consider the fact that you found "You must be new here" a novel response - at least novel enough for you to use it. let me just say, *You* must be new here.
P.S. i hope the recursive irony - including my ID and the parent posters ID - is self evident. no need for recursive "*You* must be new here" replies. please think of the children.
P.P.S. i don't really think recursion is the right word. but the fact that an 'older' user is declared 'new' by a newer user on each child post should lead to a division by zero, a black hole, or at least a bazzarro world somewhere... or it might just be my bed time.
You must be new here.
Everyone knows that no number of P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S.s that you can add will prevent SOMEONE from posting this very comment.
I pretend to know more than I really do by mooching off google and wikipedia.
You must be new here...
You must be ....
.. forget it.
