Comment:
Replying to [comment:1 phobos]:
> Tor as a concept and design is experimental. ÂThe software itself may be
stable with features that don't change between point releases. ÂAnonymous
communications is a relatively new field of research, especially when
applied to the Internet; seeÂhttp://freehaven.net/anonbib/. ÂTor's designs
and concepts are changing in response to research. Â"Strong anonymity" is
loosely defined as something that can defend against all known attacks.
ÂStrong anonymity doesn't exist, yet. ÂUntil Tor can successfully defend
against all attacks, it is considered experimental.
Well, I can understand that a concept and design is experimental. But the
message doesn't refer to the concept and design. It says that the software
itself is experimental. Don't you see a confusion here while running the
comprehensively tested program?
