Hi, I'm wondering how safe is it to use custom hidden service names (.onion). I'm not asking this for public hidden services but for private ones (only for myself or for friends). Using an easy to remember address just for using TorChat could be a good example. Or it could be a personal cloud on a hidden service.
I'm actually wondering, who and how many people-server knows-learn about my hidden service name, this is necessary to connect to a hidden service, right? Can they be trusted or not? Some specific examples for my question could be, myrealnamexxxxxx.onion homeaddressxxxxx.onion mycitynamexxxxxx.onion etc. which I'm asking, is it ok for the "private" addresses to contain such risky information? Another question is, let's say I create and use some custom addresses where each contain the same prefixes (or suffixes or simply have any connection) like customnameasdasd.onion customname123123.onion customname123456.onion etc. Can anybody notice that some people are using some probably related custom .onion addresses at some certain times. Is this kind of usage risky? There might be more examples about the risks of using custom addresses. Please answer in detail as this could be useful for many people. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
