Yay for a trust automaton, another level of complexity that won't solve anything.

Tor does not provide security, it can provide obfuscation that may lead to anonymity or pseudonymity, not more. I concur with your statement that SSL isn't really secure end-to-end communication when 3rd party certificates are involved

Since nearly every Tor-exit has working reverse-lookup or by using https://check.torproject.org/ it is easy to deny access to Tor-users while authenticating. It makes imho no sense to authenticate using Tor.

There is no level on anonymity, either you are, or you are not. Addendum for achievement: Connect to Tor from a public accessible network/wifi that is free from surveillance using a pristine installation and never use that network-devi

If you use a VPN to connect to Tor, you can hide the fact (from your local isp) that you use tor. If you use Tor to connect to your VPN-provider, you can hide your location from your VPN-provider. Since your VPN-provider may have payment in

I use rsync via ssh for that scenario and I backup the stuff that isn't provided by the VPS, that is usually a list of installed packages, a dump or snapshot of the database and the relevant deployed files.

The TheCommandline.net podcast is approximately 30 minutes and the Econtalk.org is about 60 minutes and covers more topics like surveillance and terrorism in the end. Bruce is very consistent in using his metaphors and very enjoyable in bot

Your VPN will become your new endpoint, it is a tor-vpn cascade.

From a crypto/security approach there is no difference between a self-signed certificate and from an "offical" CA. In terms of trust, your mileage may vary.

Try an additional weight or graph based on your elections.

That doesn't matter, since the changes of your endpoints ip are available from your ISP.

Bitcoin transactions are chained, that may compromise you. But you could use an anon currency-exchange or currency-bridge like paysafecard.com to obtain some value and obtain bitcoin with that value and never use that bitcoin key again to a

To answer a complex question: SSL/TLS isn't the problem, the certificates are.

It could circumvent VPN censorship/supression or DPI since VPN is not a secure end to end communication. That way you would obfuscate your endpoint against your vpn endpoint/provider. It would add no further benefit to location ob

A system of prison-labour combined with house arrest or curfews - if you look at it from a government perspective it is possible to imprison everybody. I suggest you spent some time reading about oppressive governments before you state you

The concept of privacy is inherent for dubio pro reo. If you take away or reduce privacy everybody is guilty by association - qed.

It is so easy to blame software, is it? 1. If you are not able to manage your keys, which includes a simple unencrypted key-backup, you are doomed, even with a pretty interface. 2. If you insist on other people to take away the responsibili
