What happens in between runs? Does the extracted directory get wiped? I can see the value in this approach, in any case. Whether we like it or not, less sophisticated users are using Tor. We'll fail to protect all of them, but this doesn't mean we cannot try to guide their path towards a safer online experience with Tor. Between renaming "Aurora" to something more obvious, to a single executable/binary that hides the complexities of Tor from the user, these are some of the first steps towards a 'tor product for the masses'. Another approach is like that of Janusvm, where they put everything into a stripped down virtual machine, and allow all sorts of plugins, etc inside the VM. -- Andrew pgp key: 0x74ED336B _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
