- From the FAQ:
7.2. Can exit nodes eavesdrop on communications? Isn't that bad?
Yes, the guy running the exit node can read the bytes that come in and
out there. Tor *anonymizes the origin* of your traffic -- it does not
magically encrypt all traffic throughout the Internet.
http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ExitEavesdroppers
I think it's a clear answer. The problem is that a normal user doesn't
read documentation, where to write this important informations?
The 90% of user will find the some news about tor across the internet,
click the download link and read nothing.
Back to http://tor.unixgu.ru/, they write something wrong:
"... communication from client to entry node and exit node to server
will still remain as is. Pop3, telnet and others will still be
plain-text and thus subject to sniffing."
