A lot of Tor is filed deeply in 'Internet Black Magic™" for me, but my understanding of it is such that if someone who wants to identify you happens to have access to the exit node you are connected to, you can be identified.
That is about the best I can do.
I'm actually curious as to what others say about this as well though!
- mike-cardwell 13y agoThat's not quite true. The exit node is capable of seeing what the traffic contains, and where it is destined for, but not where it came from. So as long as the traffic it's self doesn't contain anything that identifies you, eg posting your name on some non-https forum, then you're fine. Unless the attacker is able to observe the entry node and exit node at the same time, and perform a timing/correlation attack.
