An interesting publication from logiosermis.net about the Tor, which to their credit, used the source of the information to write an article that raises concerns, without being simply a copy paste, as we have seen from known and unknown copycats (for example here).
A recent study concerning the ability to discover the identities of users of the anonymous network Tor (The Onion Router) has caused several «upheavals» in the online community. So much so that the project’s developers issued a statement to calm things down, noting that the false positive rate makes attacks of this kind useless. The study was published after six years of research by Professor Sambuddah Chakravarty of the Institute
Indraprastha Institute of Informatics, from New Delhi.
Με λίγα λόγια, ο καθηγητής αναφέρει ότι το 81% των IP διευθύνσεων των χρηστών του δικτύου Τor μπορούν να φανερωθούν μέσω της ανάλυσης της κίνησης που συλλέγεται από τα routers της Cisco μέσω της τεχνολογίας NetFlow. Μπορείτε να βρείτε την έρευνα On the Effectiveness of Traffic Analysis Against Anonymity Networks Using Flow Records, εδώ (PDF). Ο Chakravarty δήλωσε ότι υπό εργαστηριακές συνθήκες μπόρεσε να αποκαλύψει όλες τις ανώνυμες διευθύνσεις.
When the technique was tested in real conditions, accuracy dropped to 81.4% and a false positive rate of 12.2% was recorded. The false positive results rate was 6.4%.
According to Roger Dingledine, development lead of Tor project, this value is extremely important because it shows that on a large scale, the whole attack resembles someone searching for a needle in a haystack.
Thus it claims that the attack is ineffective. This could be part of a government's plan, or a surveillance service, that has been designed to monitor the traffic passing through the network's Tor servers at various points.
The other view, coming from the Tor Project development lead, states that users still have no reason to fear that their identity can be revealed when using Tor.
TOR networks are a scam to control aspiring hackers?
They are recently advertising the collaboration between MOZILLA and TOR networks which are supposedly offering anonymity on the internet.
Of course, when TOR offered its services against Egypt and IRAN … it takes no brain to understand who is behind. After all, as soon as someone is interested in using anonymity … they are immediately targeted.
Checking the funders (and thus the bosses) of the TOR networks, we see all the well‑known «evangelical» institutions (enough of which also fund our ELIA MEP) such as the Ford Foundation, the Human Rights Watch of Soros,
and other state American institutions.
All of them put their hand in the pocket so that hackers can move freely.
It stands? It doesn't stand, of course... so beware.
So if you see a news story being broadcast worldwide on the most famous media outlets... you don't need to wonder if it is... for the system's benefit.
Only such exclusive news are delivered to us by the media. Information that will deliberately lead us to wrong choices through which the scoundrels benefit.
It is a simple illusion of the privacy of communications and anonymity.
