I do not understand why those people think that Tor is a honeypot by
the federal government. It is OPEN SOURCE. If you are by any means
worried look at the source code and compile it manually. There is no
hiding a backdoor. Unless every relay operator is helping the
federal government (which at that point the information would leak)
then there isn't a way to backdoor Tor. I don't understand why
people do not take the time to research things.
Open source and compiling from source is best option. Hopefully there
are enough programmers that are able to interpret the source code
examining it. Although the source code may be good, most users do not
compile from source. Most users install pre-compiled binaries. If I was
an adversary I would have the source code clean and have a backdoor in
the pre-compiled binaries knowing most people do not compile from
source. Most people is all it takes for a sybil position in the network.
To mitigate such a thing, one good solution would be to replace 'apt-get
install tor' with instructions of how to download, verify integrity, and
compile from source; in guides aimed at aspiring Tor node operators and
advanced users.
