Re: Anonymity?
Exactly. Drive-by wi-fi-jackings are the order of the day for cheapass warez pirates like yours truly. It might not be fast, but who cares? I'm not fixing to download every stupid movie that comes out. I have specific targets, and the lag and hassle is worth the while because the smoking gun does not belong to me. The xxAA can lick my nuts. |

Nope.
Anonymous networks are entirely possible to create.
However, they usually come at a cost of bandwidth and processing power, since defeating eavesdroppers means everything has to be encrypted. And that's if you rule out the possibility of data-analysis techniques being used by your adversaries. People trying to break anonymous networks can gain access to the network or the lines it's running over and observe traffic patterns. As a result, to be protected against this, you need to break your network into smaller groups and transmit random data constantly as a cover to prevent traffic analysis from breaking your anonymity. This effectively kills any high-bandwidth applications since your network is now limited by the speed of its slowest connection.
Although it costs you in terms of resources, it is entirely possible to transmit something across the Internet without eavesdroppers knowing who sent it or what it says. |

How many virus creators have been found? compared to the number of viruses being written and or distributed. The people being caught are being caught because they are doing something stuff, like bragging.
If you want to release a virus you do it someone you have never been and will never be again.
Tor is Great for anonomous browseing, read the docs on the tor site i think you will be impressed. Tor was never designed as a vehicle for p2p traffic. I think the people that are using Tor for p2p are (inserct subjective comments here).

Anyone looking to release something without getting caught is probably armed with a laptop, a car, and a directional antenna. |

| No such thing. Come on. Even those real good virus creaters who work from another country and try their best, still are caught and can be traced. IF you don't want to be caught then don't do it. I download crap all the time that maybe I shouldn't, however, I know that I could be caught if someone tried real hard. |
