Re: Re[2]: Tor limitation

[Matt Thorne <mlthorne@xxxxxxxxx>]

To the government of china those servers would look like really active
users for about 10 minutes. depending on whither or not they already
knew what tor was, having an entry or exit node behind the wall would
probably "force their hand" if they are just stalling on having an
official policy on TOR as a government.

honestly thought the classes of people who would most likely be using
TOR are the educated people. the educated people are the ones who hate
censorship the most.

that would be the students, college kids, professionals and minor
government officials.

i wonder how this will all play out.

Oh and I checked on MD5, it is still secure. the only vulnerabilities
are theoretical in nature.


do you want me to look into torrent clients?
