The FBI Used the Web’s Favorite Hacking Tool to Unmask Tor Users

For more than a decade, a powerful app called Metasploit has been the most important tool in the hacking world: An open-source Swiss Army knife of hacks that puts the latest exploits in the hands of anyone who’s interested, from random criminals to the thousands of security professionals who rely on the app to scour client networks for holes.

Seems TOR is transparent for feds, I see how they catch blackmarket owners.

Hey if you have nothing to hide, you don't worry. However, Its annoying to know that someone snoops around your dirty underwear. If users are careful, though, the probability of getting caught is minimal.

This is a bad attitude to have. People deserve privacy.

Exactly. Who or what gives them right to poke around my darkest secrets?
I want that person/thing to give me the same right to poke around theirs too.

I don't think anyone should have the right to invade others' privacy without their permission.

Supported by a vast community of contributors and researchers, Metasploit established a kind of lingua franca for attack code.

That's twice in the past couple hours I've run across the term lingua franca [in dissimilar content]. Reminds me of Frank's [pet] iguana for obvious reasons.

Exactly. If someone (they) want the right to do so, then everyone needs to have the same right.
Aren't we all equal after all (their statements)?

There's a term for this - when you start noticing a word, and you notice it more often as a result. I think it was named after some military group. Anybody remember what it's called?
