Just to make your life more paranoid:) Re: Surreptitious Tor Messages?

Troll Mode on: TOR was originally developed as a result of CIA/NRL funding:) compile your own client and examine sources if you have this particular brand of paranoia(I do) change to an OS which makes this easy ... BTW running TOR makes you very visible that you are running tor even as a client.. its quite a noisy protocol Troll Mode off: :) Tyler Durden wrote: > Can anyone suggest a tool for checking to see if my Tor client is > performing any surreptitious signaling? > > Seems to me there's a couple of possibilities for a TLA or someone > else to monitor Tor users.

Venona not all decrypted?
by R.A. Hettinga 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just heard that the Venona intercepts haven't all been decrypted, and that the reason for that was there "wasn't enough budget to do so". Is that "not enough budget" to apply the one-time pads they already have, or is that the once-and-futile exercise of "decrypting" ciphertext with no one-time pad to go with it?
