Hello all, I would like to know what data is kept in the data directory which is downloaded and created by the tor process. I have been discussing with roger on the deletion of dir data between torpark usages. My concern is what the directory data may indicate about the user, or if it contains sensitive information. Roger has indicated that it may indeed be a concern for users, but I do not know to what extent or why. I have emailed Roger on this subject twice but have received no response. I personally was not under the opinion that tor subscribed to security through obscurity, so I ask again for this information to be released.
