Hey folk! This essay was very instructive. Talking about Linux + Tor, what do you think is more secure, Tails or Whonix? Thanks. Marcos (Brasil) > From: intrig...@boum.org > To: tor-talk@lists.torproject.org > Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2013 20:41:41 +0100 > Subject: Re: [tor-talk] Fwd: [rt.torproject.or

[tor-talk] SimpleMail

Has the security of "Simple Mail" been discussed yet? If so, can someone tell me where I can find the past discussions? If not, Simple Mail is a mail client add on for Firefox. It allows you to get notified, read and write messages for multiple email accounts "inside" Firefox. Does it maintain

Interesting article by Bennett Haselton in Slashdot today. I mention here for those who may have missed it: "/A court rules that law enforcement did not improperly 'search' defendants' computers by downloading files that the computers were sharing via P2P software. This seems like a reasonable

[tor-talk] Can Google location system track TOR users?

Hi, I am surprised how google maps was able to track my location, with few meters of error, by using the "Share Location" feature. It is not clear how they are tracking the location with such accuracy. For sure is not using the IP. I guess they are crossing the information about the SSID

I suppose the best way to test this is to send myself an email using "simple Mail" and then run the headers through something like SPAMCOP.NET and see if there is a trace of my ip address/ISP found. I am not really tech enough to go much beyond that. Is there something else I can do to test this?

In addition, you will need to check for DNS leaks, since the e-mail client will do a MX host lookup for each recipient's e-mail domain. Elysius On 11/15/13 02:18, Missouri Anglers wrote: > I suppose the best way to test this is to send myself an email using "simple > Mail" and then run the head

The other WiFi networks in range of your Wifi gave Google location information. Google has built an extensive database of Wifi SSID's etc via their google maps cars. It has nothing to do with Tor. Elysius On 11/15/13 03:29, Sukhoi wrote: > > On 15/11/2013 00:27, Erik de Castro Lopo wrote: >> S

In my attempt to set up a secure anonymous email system I thought it might be easier to sign up for a free web based email account while using the TOR browser. Do you know how hard it is to do that with java script disabled? I must have tried 30-40 different places such as yahoo, gmail, gmx, hotm
