So I thought I was 'tech savvy' or 'internet savvy'. Then I heard about TOR...
Educate me...I'm fascinated! |

I wouldn't trust it.

Well smart ass. I've googled TOR, and because TOR is 'off the beaten path' for the internet, and un-crawlable due to its very nature, you won't get much through traditional searches. Hence my question here. |

NSA honeypot, but still useful at times. That's what I've read also. Sneaky bastards. The only time TOR is appropriate is if what you are doing is not illegal, not likely to cause interest in your, but you would rather put an extra layer of distance between yourself and the act. It's not too bad for survey bombing, other than that, pretty much just a good way to catch dumb criminals. |

It appears the anonabox was fake (I don't have better words to describe it) and the funding site kickstarter siezed the funds and refunded the investors. Quoted:

Check out the 'anonabox' Made in the USA hardware tor router. Disruptive technology for sure. It appears the anonabox was fake (I don't have better words to describe it) and the funding site kickstarter siezed the funds and refunded the investors. Not fake, just poorly worded. He said 100% from scratch. It was ~ 30% from scratch. Guy got destroyed over it, hes going to try again with better wording and a made in usa 100% product. |

He got destroyed because the hardware he would've used came from existing scrap Chinese circuits. It violated a clause with Kickstarter in which the product had to be of your origin, not some refurbed Chinese shit that you'll rebrand and profit from. There are better ways to remain anon than TOR, now that's it in the limelight. The alpha-soup agencies aren't catching people on TOR because of advanced alien decryption technology, they just need to know how the system works and wait for someone to fuck up (because stupid people doing stupid things always do). Think of TOR as a club you can walk in and out of. You're anonymous once you get in, but you'll eventually want come out. Its the exit severs that they watch to see who's been using that service. Once they connect the unencrypted packets together, they have enough for a search and seizure. People are dumb, and extremely fucking dumb once they think they're behind a veil of impenetrable safety. |

(Again) I know relatively *nothing* about TOR...but you are saying some similar things I have been reading. I don't know what an 'exit node' is, but I think you may be referring to that?? One british security paper I read said similar things to you, that you'd essentially need a full time TOR computer that was always going through TOR, using encryption on top of it always, with a fail to disconnect so if it couldn't go through TOR you'd be on a useless box. That, he said, was the only way to really use TOR like it was intended. Enter once, never exit, never connect the machine to the 'regular' internet. |

Anonabox rises from the ashes. Looking a bit better on paper. |
