Tor was originally sponsored by the US Naval Research Lab. Does this automatically mean it's backdoored then? Could someone insert a backdoor into open-source software? Yes. Funding sources do little to change this. Now, who is controlling exit nodes is a different story, but that's another can of worms.

Funding doubled, so engineering some back doors? 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/
