Also, remember that Tor was developed as a weapon to be used against advanced threats and States of some power, as a way of providing discontents of means of communicating and resisting authority. Its one of those plans that backfired against the US government when it started to be used to avoid its own detection. so yay for US cov-ops tech. Because there needs to be a justification for things governments throw money at. Even if we don't see it. On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 4:36 PM, <devel () roosoft ltd uk> wrote:

In 2012, Tor nearly doubled its budget, taking in $2.2 million from Pentagon and intel-connected grants: $876,099 came from the DoD, $353,000 from the State Department, $387,800 from IBB. That same year, Tor lined up an unknown amount funding from the Broadcasting Board of Governors to finance fast exit nodes. http://pando.com/2014/07/16/tor-spooks/ _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/You might find this interesting then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJNxbpbHA-I The code is not the weak point, the idea that State funded operations can co-op enough exit nodes to subvert the network and make a difference is. -- _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
