I dont use it much beyond bypass the college proxy that closes lots of pages but that article seems more FUD as usual. Please tell me someone that got compromised if he was using tor with javascript off/flash off/all plugins off, or ideal using tails or along the lines?
every raid that i've seen it was owners of stuff like silk road that did incredibly stupid stuff like revealing your name or email address or using javascript on lol.

They aint that generous.. I think it is compromised..

Probably it was compromised, for a very short time, people upgraded it very fast after big accidents like that happens.

The way to protect against this attack is with some kind of blacklist, or better yet a whitelist of trustworthy nodes.

Using Tor is better than using nothing at all. Once people start caring about their privacy and using Tor, then they can investigate the next levels of privacy and security.

Why not see it like this: There are no secret's in the public domain, known as the internet, there is NO security on a microsoft product.. All is illusion..

I asked a mate, a vermin engineer, to lay a wire the length of two block's for a mate who refused to pay vermin for a subscription, and while we chatted, he say's.. how do you think when you call your mobile operator, they can fix your phone.. First thing I thought of was KDX, which had a function that is best described to the young pup's as teamviewer..

Vermin have this capability with your pc, fuck what the expert's say.. I mean, how would you feel to know your isp can see your screen?

Tor is irrelevant in this case, I mean, yeah, they'll record your encrypted packet's, with a record of what you saw on your screen while you used tor, thinking you were untraceable..

They dont care, they saw what you did thinking you were untraceable.. indeed you are, but if the isp can see you..?

The method, is available online.

Udp people, udp...

I believe I posted a short quick how to somewhere recently..

To me Tor is annoying and slow so I barely use it. If I ever just want to be anonymous online I use VPN instead it's faster and more simple for me.

It isn't that slow, but you'd need to use tor anyway if you want to take advantage of certain things on the darknet like tor marketplaces. VPNs are only good for basic masking your ip and they wont mask your browser fingerprint but I'd also be careful about what VPN you do use. You need to find one that keeps no logs whatsoever as governments can still request that they hand over your real ip if they want it for whatever reason.

Sorry you lost my backing at this post...
Tor is both safe and unsafe it can be cracked but you need to be both unlucky and stupid. if you use Tor also use a VPN (Do your research pick a good safe one) or even use tor and i2p to really make it a challenge. Tor on its own is no guarantee as for people watching your screen.... well No, maybe Microsoft could if you had no Firewall or remote desktop was enabled... as for an ISP doing it No.

Yes, docsis 3.5

Go on, argue your point..

KDX = less than a megabyte.. full teamviewer capabilities, can be run in linux before your bios loads..

Notice that slight delay that was never there before, in your ethernet card? What, you can explain that better than me?

Why do isp's now try to force you to use only 1 ip?

You dont know?

Terminate their version of teamviewer, and spot the difference.. oh, I forgot, you cant, you cant access the area previous to bios loading.
