UPDATE: Slides
Roger Dingledine gave a presentation on Tor, which we’ve covered before. It was really interesting and covered common misconceptions. People often talk about Tor being abused, but the fact is true criminals have far better botnets that they can use for their work instead of Tor. Something that I hadn’t realized before is that if you have a Tor exit node on the same IP address as your web server all of the Tor users will get the benefit of a fully encrypted link to your website instead of the usual plain text final hop. The EFF is currently running a GUI competition. Somebody needs to build a Sneakers style Google map of hops. Any takers?
