Dear list,
can someone explain how the TBB update mechanism works precisely with
Unix operating systems?
Especially I´d like to know, does it use a shell script for updating the
TBB?
If yes, will the shell script be downloaded first or is it already
existing?
Is the binary Browser/updater
Dear fellows,
I´d like to know, what algorithm does TOR use to chose an exit node?
What I find strange is, I always get an exit node from the same region
on this planet.
I never had an exit node, say from Russia or Hong Kong or Japan, but
always from the same region.
This algorithm does not s
Hello,
is Bitmessage still developed?
If I remember correctly, there haven´t been updates for some years?

Good day evil people ;-)
I want to help strengthen TOR by using tor as a relais, but only within
TOR, thus no exit relais.
Currently I start TOR using Vidalia.
The TOR process that is running looks like this:
/usr/bin/tor -f /home/foobar/.vidalia/torrc ControlPort 9051

Good day (again),
what do you think about Bitmessage?
Could it be, Bitmessage gives you some anonymity even without using TOR
due to the way it works?
Couldn´t TOR be extended in a way to work like Bitmessage?
I guess BM is like a mesh or P2P thing, wouldn´t adding such a
technology enhance TOR?
Hi there,
I start TOR using the Vidalia GUI.
When I came back from lunch I saw, Firefox was disconnected from TOR.
Vidalia still was running and seemed to be connected to TOR, the onion
was green.
The anon test said I was not connected with TOR and it shows my real IP.
This makes me wonder, is

Hello,
to me the Orweb simply is not usable at all.
No tabbed browsing, no bookmarks.
Hell, how can someone make a web browser that does not store bookmarks!
Why don´t I have the choice to do so if I want to!?

Hello again,
I hope this question is not totally off topic!
Many people use TOR or secure ways to chat on smartphones.
The last months have reveiled how hard secret services attack our phones.
This leads me to the question, how secure are our smartphones at all?
In my case I use Android 4.x.

Maybe, but no bookmarks really is a pain. I can live without tabs, but
not without bookmarks.
What is a good web browser for use with Orbot?
No, Orweb is nothing I would consider. Orweb cannot save bookmarks, does
not support tabbed browsing. I think Orweb is only usable in emergency
situation.
What else is usable and has some protection of privacy?
Firefox mobile seem to send a unique i

Hello,
I consider to use Orbot on my Android 4.x device. I have some questions

How mature is Orbot? Is it generally safe to use?
How does it work technically, is it a kind of proxy app or does it work
like a VPN software?

When you connect to a SSL secured web site, is the URL itself encrypted
or can an attacker see the full URL? Is there any chance to encrypt a

I am confident, Tor will still be available in 10 years, because we need
it. Many governments want to ban anonymity including western
governments. But it is hard technically to ban anonymizers. Look at
China what effort they take to prohibit free access to the net and they
could never succeed to 10
How do you folks use Tor? Do you use it permanently for all your network

If they had the balls, they would operate a Tor exit relay! Maybe I

Sometimes I see a message from Vidalia:

Hi there,
I have a concern regarding exit nodes in Tor. In my mind it is possible
for an attacker to run a malicious exit server that gathers information
at the exit point. Of course, this does not compromise anonymity per se,
but it still can reveal sensitive data to malicious people. I think
