My guess is Tor is no more secure than anything else. If I was law enforcement the first thing I would do would be to subvert the Tor network and monitor the exit nodes. Also, I think you really are a terrorist and just aren't admitting it.
They don't need obscure vulnerabilities. There are tons of well known exploits in all operating systems and networks. MacOSX has a one-line CLI root access bug in its shipping system for example. You don't need to be clever.
What does posting here have to do with security? I don't care that the people who run Slashdot know me. They know who I am anyway in general with all the cookies and they have my IP address and email. However the point of using Tor is to be "bloody paranoid".
No I am right, period. You can assume that any computer system is insecure and the software cannot be trusted. However some systems are more secure than others.
The FBI can't "sneak into" your house either. If you think the intelligence agencies in the US and Germany play by the rules then you are hopelessly naive.
Agreed. As usual we only hear half of the story. She ran away to Germany because an FBI agent left a card at her house while she was in vacation in Hawaii?

How can I trust it is you that actually said it? You could be an imposter. Maybe YOU are Isis Lovecruft!
No. I am just not foolish and think that networks and computer systems are secure. Personally it doesn't matter to me if they are or not.
My guess is we are only hearing half of the story. Maybe she ran for other reasons.

100% correct. Congratulations.

Correct. So is Tor secure?
No I am right, period. You can assume that any computer system is insecure and the software cannot be trusted. However some systems are more secure than others.
Correct. So ask yourself: is Tor secure?
Yes. Was there a point?
Facts don't belong in this discussion.
Isis is a goddess of Egypt who listened to sinners who worshipped her. I thought a clever boy like you would have made that connection.
Right, he is tied for the top of the list.
I'm not qualified to audit the TOR source code. But I am well qualified to shitpost on Slashdot.
Oh. Then the system isn't very secure, is it? I don't know "Isis Agora Lovecruft". Should I trust her code?
I'm just responding to posts. I know no system is 100% secure, but some are more secure than others.

Well considering he was head of the government for a long time I would think he would be at the top of the list.
No I don't do that, because I know it isn't secure anyway. Tor isn't secure either.
It applies in general. Lincoln rerouted all the telegraph lines in the 1800s so the government could listen in on telegraph traffic.
If people can make commits to Tor without too much scrutiny then the system isn't secure.
Well if they have special access to the running Tor network and they can slip in obfuscated flaws then the system isn't secure.
Agreed. As usual we only hear half of the story. She ran away to Germany because an FBI agent left a card at her house while she was in vacation in Hawaii?
If single developers can introduce flaws then the system can't be trusted anyway.
