-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Can't remember if I posted this already so here we go... I received a phone call from my ISP a couple of weeks ago. They told me that cert.fi had contacted them with an abuse report. One of my Tor-servers had been an exit node when someone had contact

Some times ago we have a thread about SORBS and many exit nodes were listed in this DNSBL with the attribut "trojan hacked". Conclusion of the thread was: "They have no glue!" Yeah .. well SORBS is to be taken with a grain of salt. Google sometimes does not work with several exit nodes and

It is trivial for global passive adversaries, like the government or large telcom companies, to link true sources and true destinations of Tor traffic. Tor aims to provide anonymity against weaker, local adversaries - and even then, adversaries can win, as investigated in these papers. Read,

Attn TorStatus folks! We are about to break your bandwidth measures!

2007-08-27 Thread Nick Mathewson

Hello Nick Mathewson, Thank you very much for letting me know about this upcoming change. I will get TorStatus to work with this new version, and release an update, within the next few days. 2-4 weeks should be enough time to get most of the servers running the new version of Tor and TorStatus.
