There's been a really interesting document to come out of the Guardian
today:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/oct/04/tor-stinks-nsa-presentation-document
Interestingly:
- NSA/GCHQ was fingerprinting using Flash
- They were wondering whether to flood the network with slow
connections in order to discourage users
- Cookie leakage
- Timing attacks
- Supposed bug in TorButton mid last year
There are some questions in my mind as to the legitimacy of this
document -- particularly given that a slide is marked 2007, but
references 2012. (In particular, neither Torservers nor TorButton
existed in 2007).
Thoughts?
