Re: [tor-talk] DNSSEC better protecting users?

[Ben Tasker <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would guess the idea is you may be able to tell the user is using tor2web
but not what they're accessing.

Because the domain name is sent in the clear as part of the SSL handshake
(the client Hello to be precise) it discloses what is being looked at.

The only way to avoid that is to use something that is only sent once the
handshake is complete - part of the request URI, the path or cookies -
though each has their issues.

It'd potentially mean rewriting responses (to make sure paths are relative)
but I'd be inclined to make the first section of the path identify the
service - example.com/foo.onion/index.html.

Just my 2p
