I guess this has it's place then: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/yes-we-know-about-guardian-article And this: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/32144/vulnerability-found-in-tor-browser-bundle-beams-info-back-to-the-nsa/index.html In short, I believe that if you use a recent Tor Bundle, or (better?) a release of Tails (https://tails.boum.org), say, like, in a VM booted off a Tails ISO (with no virtual hard-disk), then you're back in anonymity. There are some security points to be aware of when using Tails in a VM, but "in theory", any tagging software compromise (be it OS or browser based), would be wiped when you shutdown your VM. Of course, you've got to trust the underlying OS isn't compromised... -----Original Message----- From: list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roland Tarver Sent: 05 October 2013 14:35 To: list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [LUG] OT: NSA "compromising" TOR On 05/10/13 12:58, Philip Hudson wrote: > Related: > > http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/world/gchq-report-on-mullenize-p > rogram-to-stain-anonymous-electronic-traffic/502/ > > > > On 5 October 2013 11:50, Philip Hudson <phil.hudson@xxxxxxxxx > <mailto:phil.hudson@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote: > > Seen this? > > > http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/04/tor-attacks-nsa-users-onl > ine-anonymity > > -- > Jeez! Amazing what has been (is still) going on!!! I may never use the net again. Although I'm sure I am of little interest to the NSA (at least I seriously hope so! haha!) Very clever methods. Scary stuff. One thing is for sure, Snowden's welfare is in doubt! Thanks Phil.
