RE: Tor-BlackBelt Privacy
hello... plz is Black Belt Privacy a software that will make tor faster??? and how i can get that software thx Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 09:04:23 +0100 From: tor-ad...@privacyfoundation.de To: or-talk@freehaven.net Subject: Re: Tor-BlackBelt Privacy Am 05.01.2011 00:03, schrieb and...@torproject.org: It's been around for a few years, previously called black belt tor by Cav Edwards.

The NumEntryGuards line will also make the client more vulnerable to certain anonymity-set-reducing attacks.

TCP stacks and crypto overhead may be overloading high performance nodes. If you only need 1KB/s for a xmpp chat session, no need to choose a high bandwidth relay when a lower performance one will do. I haven't tested it, but I wonder if over time (days, weeks, months) the performance usage profile of blackbeltprivacy is different than a stock tor client. -- Andrew pgp key: 0x74ED336B *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
Tor-BlackBelt Privacy
Hi, Tor-BlackBelt Privacy wants to seed up Tor with a special configuration: http://sourceforge.net/projects/blackbeltpriv/ The project says, the original code of tor is used with some improvements in configuration to speed up the tor client. I have done a small test. It seems, high performance nodes are prefered. The project page offers only a binary download. What do you think about the project. Is it serious? Is the preference of high power nodes useful or does it have a bad influence on the load balancing of the tor network like the Cloakfish idea two years ago? Thanks for your opinion.

Re: Tor-BlackBelt Privacy
Without any details it's hard to say. I can only guess that it's using a list of fast exit nodes that its verified. And if that's the case, it seems basically like the social engineering attack that Nick Matthewson talked about at Defcon17 where an attacker tricks a user into using a partition of the Tor network. But this is all conjecture. Maybe you can dump the torrc so we can see what it's doing. -- ROC Admin On Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 7:53 AM, Karsten N. tor-ad...@privacyfoundation.de wrote: Hi, Tor-BlackBelt Privacy wants to seed up Tor with a special configuration: http://sourceforge.net/projects/blackbeltpriv/ The project says, the original code of tor is used with some improvements in configuration to speed up the tor client.
