To restate and summarize my or-talk post, there's been a lot of anonymity network buzz on Reddit recently, and this is a good way of combating that. The real message here isn't primarily "we can see what you're doing even if you try to hide", it's "only pedophiles use anonymity networks, you don't want to help that, do you?". I also call sockpuppet on the poster (about midway through the page) who lists all of the various things the OP can supposedly do, and then says "Whatever, I have nothing to hide". Definitely not the genuine article, IMHO. Though it's certainly believable that the tech exists in some form and is used on those with misconfigured / backdoored setups. ----- 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
