Using a properly configured, Tor-enabled browser/OS is the first step to protecting your identity, not the last.
You still have to compartmentalize your illicit (or, in the case of research, simply suspicious) activity from your day-to-day computer activities, rigorously.
- palunon 12y agoTails helps you do that... If you want to go trough tor, you have to boot the live cd. Of course you can still blow your anonymity by torrenting or accessing gmail at the same time, but it helps.
- fabulist 12y agoThats partly what I'm getting at. When you start down the path of maintaining a real-life identity and a Tor identity, it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid contaminating one with the other. But I suppose for the original, "read only" purpose of perusing dark markets, Tails may suffice.
