there are still a large number of risks to your anonymity when using things like Java, Flash, arbitrary applications with Tor, even in a fully transparently Tor'ified VM configuration. local DNS resolver IP disclosures and side channels, chained exploits (accelerated VM interfaces are very risky but oh so performant...), many, many other considerations and risks. you need to carefully consider your risks for using such things, hence my recommendation for the stock bundle without those risky things unless you really know what you're doing or the risks are exceptionally low. best regards, *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majordomo@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/ ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
