Using Facebokk would be considered harmful, and make tge situation worse. I'm sure they're disscussing fixes on the tor dev irc and mailing list right now if anyone's interested.

You're corrrect. Fast Tor user attribution is a different, much harder problem, and one they don't appesr to have cracked.

I've studied Tor vulnerabilities for two years. I'm seeing signs of traffic confirmation (active), traffic confirmation (passive), stream watermarking, and a massive willingness to shape control of the network with DoS. Just about

Cut the hardline. Well, but seriously, shut down the network temporarily.

Uhm no. Wasn't that the entire point of my comment?

Okay, let me put it this way: Tor needs to be run from a live CD with an extended-hop circuit and a text only browser. TBB on regular box considered harmful. We don't know the situation, so we have to assume that some part of the Tor s

You need to insulate the user from the Bitcoin transaction entirely. It should look to the user like they're paying in local currency. Unfortunately, we're not there yet. We know how to create an automated p2p currency exchange, w

Agreed. From this point forward Tor is considered harmful. But the same time, it seems like they're using workarounds, attacking the browser etc. I still believe the underlying network remains unbroken.

This implies an agent established a direct connection to a server in Benthall's C&C chain. Once there, they simple hacked (or subpoena or Mutual Legal Assistance Treatied) their way back to him.

Initial patents rarely resemble final technology. There's something you get out right away. Most startups do this.

She's worked on hard problems before. No matter the type of problem, I impute an advantage to that person in other hard activities, even if they're unrelated. E.g. I believe that someone who earned a Harvard mathematics PhD to be

She's not defying the laws of physics. It's a tracked directional system that concentrates the ultrasound at the point of the device. Honestly, not even really that out there as far as the physics is concerned. EDIT: Unlikely. Chi

She's also worked for NASA, in additional to being a wet work astrobiologist. Meaning she has a high level of intelligence, experience working with technology, and the ability to improvise tools. Those all sound like great credentials.

Meredith Perry is no fraud. She was in a Penn graduate program before this venture, and has worked at NASA. It's directional transmission technology. The power loss is minimized as the ultrasound is directed and focused at a particular

Even at my fraternity at school, a kid sent a very long heartfelt message that he was dropping because he was gay. Which was followed by a a series of messages from everyone else saying either "we know, we support you unconditionally&q

While everyone already knew, the act of public announcement is one of great meaning and catharsis. Coming out is an important event for a gay person, and for a prominent person such as Tim Cook, for our society as well. As an ally, congratu

In most jurisdictions the prosecutor entirely controls whether someone is indicted. The prosecutor has the sole ability to present fact and evidence to the grand jury. There is no defense attorney allowed to speak. Thus the common saying am

This will be tossed out at the district magistrate prior to trial due to Fourth Amendment violations. The amendment does exist, and still has quite a bit of force of law in traditional criminal prosecutions.

Not really, sometimes you need pcaps to diagnose network problems as an admin. I anonymize the IPs and shred the files afterwards. But recorded == operator is a bad heuristic.

Let me be clear: unless you use end-to-end encryption (e.g. TLS) the exit node owns you. Injection, modification, even good ole fashion spoofing, all become trivial. I really need to start a blog on this stuff. There are so many misundersta

I'll pay it, but it makes it way harder for casual users to secure email. Where do I point them now? That's an honest question.

Agree with cz. Put that in a box that plugs into a wall and gets warm and sell it tor 30k to enterprise companies, and you could have a product.

I see a person who needs to study crowd dynamics and lynch mobs themselves if you think there's that strong of a causal link.
