Why does Tor get so much hate?
Child Porn

its just fbi propaganda
or should i say it was, dont use it anymore man its one big honeypot at this point
>>53719366
It's a botnet, if you're using TOR you might as well be sending a copy of your browsing history directly to the NSA

Confirmed idiot.
>>53719439
>>53719396
You people clearly don't know how Tor network works and especially you just fell for memes without even bothering to educate yourselves.
>>53719646
>>53719680
Nice try, NSA.
>>53719804
Educate yourself; come back later.
>>53719804
So technically there is a chance to end up into an NSA node if you browse child-pornography websites or deep web content related to very very very illegal content.
But using it for the intended purpose TOR is absolutely great.

Please don't spread this orthographical error.
>>53719963
The only scary things are exit nodes and you only use those when browsing over the normal web
>>53719372
Yup. It is that simple.
>>53720331
Wouldnt the entire three connection chain need to be compromised for that to matteer? Or at least the first and last nodes?

What are you talking about? I love Tor. It has all of my favorite porn.

Ehh... that's not quite correct. The current major known threats are:
* Timing correlation: If the same adversary can observer traffic between you and the guard relay, at the same time as viewing traffic between the exit relay and the target server (including being in control of the respective hop or server), then the adversary can correlate the size and timing of traffic to deduce with high probability that a connection to that server has or has not been made.
* Fingerprinting: If the adversary can monitor the connection between you and the guard relay and has information about website fingerprints (i.e. the minutiae of how a web server provides the desired data, what sort of timing patterns that it makes when providing the web page), then with enough traffic, time, and computing power, an adversary can get arbitrarily high probability of confirming a connection to that server has been made.
* APT timing correlation: (not an actual name, just what I'm calling it for lack of a better term) The adversary can do things like shut down the targets Internet at desired times, and observe what happens on the suspected server. This is how Jeremy Hammond was caught, where they would turn his Internet on and off while he was on IRC at home.
The first two are mitigated by the use of low-churn rate guard relays, so that the chances of any particular connection being compromised are extremely low, with the trade off being that if you are compromised (i.e. one of the guard relays you select when you first boot Tor after install is controlled by the adversary), you are completely and thoroughly compromised for a very high fraction of your circuits, forever (or until you reinstall Tor).
The third problem is inherent to any low-latency network, and can provably not be solved (hence why non-low latency services like mixnets are a thing, but you obviously can't use those for web browsing).

It kind of matters if you're not illiterate.
>>53723934
>I'm going to respond to every single post where people capitalize an acronym and pedantically correct them on it
tell me more about how you're not autistic
>>53723979
Different person, mate. You're claiming that capitalization is meaningless, and I find your claim to be ridiculous, so I choose to side with the pedant.
>>53724037
I never claimed that capitalization is meaningless
equating capitalizing an acronym (as is proper and normal in the English language) with WrIting LIkE thIS is a false equivalency, but do continue to call people idiots for doing so if it makes you feel smart
>>53724117
>equating capitalizing an acronym (as is proper and normal in the English language) with WrIting LIkE thIS is a false equivalency
You're correct. Good thing it's not an acronym, then. Otherwise I would look pretty stupid here and you would be justified for capitalizing it. Luckily for me, the devs explicitly stated that it's not.
>Note: even though it originally came from an acronym, Tor is not spelled "TOR". Only the first letter is capitalized.
So it is a valid equivalence because you are arbitrarily capitalizing letters that should not be capitalized.
>>53721101
Bullshit and badly misspelled copypasta. TOR is as useful as the person on the keyboard.
>>53724256
>can't make an argument
>i-it's just a copypasta don't listen to him!
Don't be that guy.
>>53719439
>>53724256
Not copypasta, I do research on Tor as the focus of my studies in grad school. Friend of mine actually just finished his PhD on this exact topic.
>>53719366
Use it for everything except, sadly, for the Anonymous imageboard called 4chan.
Since the whole web is nowadays pure botnet (think of all the like buttons everywhere) veryone should use Tor.
Just don't use it for random/unknown .onion links.
>>53719366
People used it for the wrong reasons.
>>53726774
>don't use it for random/unknown .onion links.
why not? how else can you surf .onion land?
>>53719366
>tfw pedos and DUDE WEED LMAOS forever ruined another good thing
In all seriousness though, the problem simply is that stories of illicit use are far more compelling than the mundane things it's mostly used for.
>>53728007
This.
>>53728007
What actually are its mundane uses?
>>53719372
Never found it, just drugs and contractors.
>>53719366
Podiophiles use it to hunt toddlers.
>>53730087

> Note: even though it originally came from an acronym, Tor is not spelled "TOR". Only the first letter is capitalized. In fact, we can usually spot people who haven't read any of our website (and have instead learned everything they know about Tor from news articles) by the fact that they spell it wrong.
> learned everything they know about Tor from news articles
Thats right fuckhead, even the guys at Tor project are used to muppets like you.
>>53719366
Is there anything deeper than tor?
>>53730366
Your mom.

4chan.org, the darkest place on the internet.
>>53730553

Those are mutually exclusive.
>>53721100
pls share some of the links
>>53730568
I would say 4chan is the deepwebbyest place on the internet
What about Tails?
