From there we have multiple Tor proxies running so we can mix our traffic in with several thousand other people's, hiding within the mass of other Web users using our system as an exit node.<br /><br />But recently I let one of our IT people hook up to the regular network so he could do a little bit of work ...<br /><br />Now when I go look at what a user sees on the regular network, it's full of adverts about commercial software development tools.<br /><br />It used to be full of adverts about the latest luxury SUVs, private schools, holidays in France, and that sort of thing.<br /><br />However, that's not really the worst that can happen.<br /><br />Interesting covert channel and covert timing attacks can reveal where your traffic's really coming from if your adversary has the ability to snaffle realtime data from a significant number of routing points for your traffic.<br /><br />Deliberately introducing this data into HTTPS sessions in order to get them to belch on some of the data also tends to produce interesting echoes all the way back to the end user.<br /><br />So if it's the government you're hiding from, you're not really completely hidden via Tor either.Post Alley Crackpotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-78213059512257113312019-07-22T10:15:00.373-07:002019-07-22T10:15:00.373-07:00I just read about something maybe even worse that ...I just read about something maybe even worse that Facebook is doing..<br /><br />Facebook Accused of Injecting ‘Hidden Tracking Codes’ In Your Photos<br /><br />I found it through Survivalblog.

It was a slick, heavy card stock mailer. I know from buying mailers that that is not a cheap piece to buy and mail.
