  1. Re:Having to know the URL, what security! on New 'Google' For the Dark Web Makes Buying Dope and Guns Easy · · Score: 2

    SeaFox, also if you use the search engine located at the link in this article, they all lead to yet another page where you are required to sign in. This is for each individual link that pops up when you do a topic search. Furthermore, all sign-in pages are identical. Seems this could be taken advantage of.

  2. Naval Research Lab on New 'Google' For the Dark Web Makes Buying Dope and Guns Easy · · Score: 1

    Tor was created by the Naval Research Lab; Tor was created by the United States Government. Should we believe what we are told about it's invincibility. I've read personal opinions online that basically say that even though it was created by the Navy, they were doing it for themselves and made it really unbreakable. With all events being taken into account, during the past months, I am not so sure I really trust anything concerning government any longer. A program like TrueCrypt is more safe feeling to me, now. It is not known who created it other than the True Crypt Foundation. It has successful records against the alphabets who were unable to break True Crypt hard-drives after years of trying. This fact alone leads one to believe that True Crypt is not government affiliated in any way.

    You will likely be unable to proceed on to another page or site without first confirming receipt of the warning, as was being discussed earlier in the thread.

    Exactly how would Tor or a Tor Client be used to circumvent these measures? For instance, using Tor with Firefox still requires the use of a third party BitTorrent client in order to download movies or music from a site such as PirateBay, KickAss Torrent, MiniNova, etc... About the only thing I can think of that can be downloaded using Tor are pix or documents or files of some some sort that have a normal browser download avenue. Otherwise, you can use Tor all day long but, as soon as you start downloading with your BitTorrent client, they got 'ya. The old, and discontinued, OperaTor may have worked for what you are suggesting because Opera has a BitTorrent built into the browser and you would be using Tor and Opera and the BitTorrent client simultaneously but, it's not available any longer. I used to get "Violation Notices" from Charter all the time but they never did anything. They also aren't currently on the list of ISP's that have joined this exercise. Nevertheless, the notices did kind of scare me, so, I started using the BitTorrent client called Transmission, coupled with IBlock List and haven't had another warning since. I'm assuming this method will continue to work.
