Re: [tor-talk] Third-parties tracking me on Tor

[TerryZ@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I was using Ubuntu Linux installed on a USB drive. The install was done with encryption enabled. No server like SSH etc installed. I understand the sites that aren't on Tor being trackable by watching exit nodes.

How would they know what hidden services I went to or Tormail content? Tormail passwords had limitations on them. I don't understand why. 

The only thing I'm sure wasn't compromised is what I encrypted myself using my PGP key. I altered the GPG source code to create longer keys.
