I just read an article that makes it very clear that Tor is, in fact, compromised. Tl;dr:
>the US government released Tor to the public only so that government agents could blend with the crowd, and someone using Tor wouldn't be immediately identified as a CIA nigger. So, if you are using Tor, you are -ironically- helping CIA niggers. >more than 90% of donations to Tor in any given year come directly from the US government. Tor is not, in any way, the underground open source project they pretend to be. Tor even has its own official military contractor reference number from the government >Tor mantainers are in regular contact with government agencies. When a serious Tor vulnerability was found, they hid it from the public, tipped off two CIA agents about it and only fixed it four years later
None of this is a secret or news to anyone, dude. when you say 'the US government' you're actually talking about the DoD. They're military funded. GUNS WORK NIGGA

Is it compromised if it is working as designed?

why is it that you “tor is compromised” faggots never actually visit the tor website. You didn’t need an article to tell you that Tor is funded by the US government, it’s stated in their website but dumbasses like you shitpost here like it’s a new revalation.
Camden Stewart
>You didn’t need an article to tell you that Tor is funded by the US government, it’s stated in their website No it's not, faggot. The maintainers repeatedly state that their funding comes from a diverse variety of sources, including the government, when in fact +90% of it comes from CIA niggers.
Jaxson Rivera
>The Tor Project's diversity of users means we have a diversity of funding sources too
Oh it’s certainly compromised. theregister.co.uk/2018/02/24/tor_fbi_hacking_appeal/ >The FBI had seized its server after obtaining a search warrant to snoop on those connecting to the underground website. The g-men deployed what they termed a network investigative technique (NIT) on the site to determine the public IP addresses of Playpen users as they logged in.
So the FBI were somehow able to find the server, take it over, and then somehow find the IP addresses of actual people (not TOR entry/relay nodes) using it inside a fully enclosed onion network.
Austin Morgan
and how are they lying? You’re acting like 100% comes from the government. Are they supposed to ignore the 10%? You do realize that 10% of their total funding is probably still a lot of money correct?
Austin Turner
If you knew anything about this operation, the FBI were using a firefox exploit I believe. Either that or they tricked users into downloading a fake TBB, I don’t feel like checking right now. You know what, Tor IS compromised, there’s no arguing with you idiots.
Caleb Ward

Christopher Bell
They caught every user. People who do shady shit like that tend to be fairly tight with their security. For every brain let that downloaded Firefox, there were countless more using The Onion Browser, properly configured and with script blocking enabled. The fact the FBI managed to make hundreds of arrests from just one exit node should be proof enough to show you that TOR is compromised.

See Even if you control the exit node and server you should have no way of being able to pinpoint hundreds of unique real world user IPs. Some of them may have ran scripts and downloaded cheesepizza.mp4.exe, sure, but the vast majority of users were just browsing. And there are hundreds of stories like this. Just google tor busts and see. You are retarded if you think TOR makes you invisible to FBI/NSA/Five Eyes.
Charles Wright
We've known Tor is backdoored for years. The Showden leaks showed that they actually encourage its use as it is so easy to track peoples activity on it
>The authorities have gone to extreme measures to track down dark web criminals. When the FBI gained access to Freedom Hosting, a company that hosted illegal Tor hidden service sites, agents adapted all of the pages that it served with hidden code.
>In this latest initiative, the DoJ worked with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Tell me, what ‘hidden code’ could result in a properly configured tor browser with JavaScript disabled leaking real life IP addresses? It’s clearly a fabrication designed to cover the fact that TOR is compromised.
Christian Scott
and yet the FBI couldn't find the clinton email hacker and INTERPOL has been scratching their heads at Dream, the drug market that's been operating at 99% uptime since 2013. you are retarded if you think the fbi pwning a site (which doesn't necessitate compromising tor, there's plenty of ways to hack something without knowing where the server is physically located) and inserting a firefox 0day (which is what NIT means in FBI terminology if you read the documents that article is reporting on) means tor is completely fucked at the protocol level and everybody should just give up and go home. also - hidden services don't even use exit nodes, those are used for connecting to clearnet sites :)
Carson Gray
>and yet the FBI couldn't find the clinton email hacker And how do you know if he used Tor? He could perfectly be using seven Russian/Iranian/Cuban proxies for all we know.

Nolan White
according to the FBI's report on the matter the address that logged in to her yahoo was a registered tor exit node, that's how. what does the FBI have to gain pretending he was using a third world socks5 rather than tor other than to demonstrate their incompetence that they can't subpoena a foreign data center?
How the FBI claim they found the Iceland based server is suspect though. Absolutely impossible with how Tor is supposed to work. If they have backdoors, their official claim becomes slightly more believable.
Colton Lee
They used timing attacks and correlated the latencies from their new compromised server with latencies that they harvested from ISPs.
Grayson Rodriguez
>The FBI has claimed that the real IP address of the Silk Road server was found via data leaked directly from the site's CAPTCHA,[26] but security researchers believe that the PHP login page was manipulated to output its $_SERVER variable and real IP following site maintenance reconfiguration a web dev being stupid is much more plausible than le all your base are le belong to le gubbermint honeypot. it's always the least informed making accusations as to tor's security.

Do not forget they do arrest those who purchase drugs on the dark web and have people who work nodes report to the FBI and CIA and have celebrated on Twitter and news articles. >Using a Government program made by the government to protect your security. >Somehow we are stupid enough to not use it. This is some huge irony levels. To think the Government cares about your safety and wants to protect you is the most childish delusion yet.
Gabriel Fisher
I feel like I first heard about somebody getting busted using tor like 10 years ago. Why the fuck anybody would trust it is beyond me.
Christopher Peterson
Nice thread. Good job guys.
Liam Watson
>To think the Government cares about your safety and wants to protect you is the most childish delusion yet ow the edge, nobody using tor thinks the gubmint are benevolent overlords
>Using a Government program made by the government to protect your security. hate to break it to you pal but AES and SHA are NSA standards and they develop SELinux (read: linux kernel code) but that doesn't automatically mean it's an attempt to subvert THA PEEPLES FREEDUMS - they need that shit too.

All attacks boils down to bad opsec and Firefox zero days. If you want to show that Tor (the network, not the browser) is compromised, then you need to show proof. Otherwise, it's just FUD.

The onion browser IS Firefox dumbass and it was vulnerable to the same exploit as Firefox.

Why do you think your sherlock holmes because you found from a 10 second google search that tor is funded by the government? Fuck off

>snowden files literally say we (GCHQ, which is tasked by NSA for this) can't break Tor >every single person identified using Tor was caught because of missing security requirements >even the ones identified through Tor/Firefox exploits could have avoided being identified if they had a proper setup (technical and psychological) >UK and US need it themselves to be anonymous and uncrackable by foreign agencies
Anyone who uses Tor and actually gets identified is just a brainlet and deserves to be identified.
OP is either a child or a glow in the dark psyops.
Xavier Hall
You are aware that Tor is sadly the only way to protect from Google and Cloudflare following you?
Without Tor you send every single link you click on to both companies regardless which Browser you use (even with the most ungoogled Chromium).
Anthony Campbell
The only way to browse Tor safely is to have JavaScript and CSS disabled. In which case you shouldn't even use the browser and should just wget sites over Tor.
Snowden files are a decade old.
Carter Brown
is there an browser that actualy does what tor promises? tor wont protect criminals who use it to buy illegal stuff but will it protect me from corporations spying at least. i know a Emarket that blocks tor users.
Eli Bennett
So true, prosecutor s all over America can testify to that
Justin Hall
ToR is perfectly safe, please use it as much as possible.
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, it's just that not a single arrest of an instance of people getting caught throught Tor was due to the protocol itself being compromised, it was about JavaScript being compromised and them having comically bad opsec. But yeah, you know better, right? You read an article. youtube.com/watch?v=7G1LjQSYM5Q Also for these geniuses:
Andrew Brown
Or an*
Carson Evans
He's saying the NSA and CIA benefit from pedos and druggies using Tor, because it means it's harder to tell who is an agent and who is a pedo.
Gavin Torres
you are missing the point, no matter how they exploit you if they find you are using TOR you are placed on watch lists
Christian Roberts
Someone with a brain in this thread.
Alexander Sanders
Well, if "they" exploit you, it's too late for Tor or anything really. Who cares about a watchlist then? But it was never the fault of the protocol itself. That's the point I think you're missing. Snowden still uses and he hasn't been doxed, although there is a high probability for all different agencies to try.
Robert Reyes
Uses it*
Jackson Miller
> snowden hasn't been doxxed and uses it they are waiting for Putin to kick him out, trust me the spooks will get him, he can use whatever he wants because he is under the protection of Russia currently...
I digress, normal people don't use TOR and that makes you look suspicious if anyone comes across it, do you really want to draw that type of attention, security through obscurity is much better
Oliver Reyes
Just researching Tor or Linux put you on the potential terrorist list. The fact that you know enough about it to discuss it means the NSA probably has a detailed folder on you.
Stallman is an idiot boomer they all love the smell of their own shit
Jeremiah Bailey
So the real question is : Can the FBI found your IP directly from your TOR IP ? Everytime they do that they say they're using a 'piece of Flash or JavaScript that exploits a vulnerability in the Firefox-based Tor Browser' and that's well known flash and java could be vulnerable but isn't that a cover ?
James Sanchez
The only way they could do that would be to constantly monitor every tor node and do a constant correlation attack, which becomes harder and harder the more users you have.
Jack Flores

The purpose of Tor is to protect those who are on a place like China, NK or Isis-controlled Syria. It's to bring anonymity and allow those people to communicate freely. Whether other people use it for more nefarious purposes, that's another story.
