You're assuming that there's endpoint anonymity and that no one could correlate you connecting to Server A and a piece of traffic coming from Server A at the same time. At a basic level, this type of correlation is responsible for Jeremy Hammond's arrest (his VPN disconnected from IRC right as he lost internet -- deniability is useless here). And any iOS device is likely keeping track of your recent server connections. If I had a week, I couldn't list all the cases where someone mislaid their trust in a service provider to protect them. Deniability is dead. What Tor provides is unlinkability. best, Griffin -- "Cypherpunks write code not flame wars." --Jurre van Bergen #Foucault / PGP: 0xAE792C97 / OTR: [email protected] My posts, while frequently amusing, are not representative of the thoughts of my employer. -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://ativel.com http://postbiota.org AC894EC5: 38A5 5F46 A4FF 59B8 336B 47EE F46E 3489 AC89 4EC5
