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.'"
Ugh, here you go again, citing Wired. If you are going to do it, at least do it when the article is brand new, like *before* I've read it. Regurgitated news... nice.

The internal Ely Lilly memos have been leaked to the intenet using Tor. See zyprexakills.us for details.
