| Re: Good said by N3OGH :So let me get this straight. You SUPPORT child pornography on the internet? Just looking for clarification.... I don't support child pornography and I don't support the policing or censorship of Tor either. Tor was not designed to be censored or policed, it was designed to maintain the small bit of anonymity that is hard to find on the Internet today.
What people do with that anonymity, is there business.

| Re: Good So, if people download photographs that children had to be exploited sexually to produce, you're saying you're OK with that?
It's one thing to download a movie or a song with with your "anonymity". It's another thing to support the sexual exploitation of children by using your "anonymity" to download pictures of child pornography.
I'm not one of these "won't someone think of the children" people that thinks everything should be censored and that Janet Jackson's boob flopping out at the Super Bowl (Can I say Super Bowl without the express written permission of the NFL?  ) But we're not talking about a victimless crime here. Were talking about supporting the "anonymity" of people who take pictures children, some as young toddlers, engaged in actual sex acts with full grown adults.
Sorry fella, no way I can justify that. No rationale you can throw at me, no high minded notion of what someones "privacy" is worth can justify it.
I've had to look at some of this stuff in the course of my work. I've seen some of the most disgusting, reprehensible, and criminal things done to kids to produce this shit. It's seared into my mind, and just the thought of it right now makes me physically ill.
There are, IMHO 2 kinds of people in the world. 1: The sickos that are into this stuff, and get off on it, AND 2: Everyone else.
I'm not directing any kind of attack at you personally, but if you had actually seen some of the shit that's out there, I think you might see things differently. I'm probably one of the few people here than can admit they've seen it and not face prosecution, as it was in the course of conducting an arrest and investigation.
Sorry, but when it comes to kid touchers, I've got ZERO sympathy. I just can't find it...

Anonimity on the itnernet is a load of crap any how. Dont think for one secound that tor keeps your isp from seeign where you go it does not. They may not be able to see what your downloading there do to encryption but they can see the http or https url you went to. Tor is no more than a proxy. If you want to see this for your self set up a proxy with encryption right before your modem and then one right before your router (or after) That is not encrypted. Now the proxy after the one right before your modem is your tor stand in. The one after that and before your pc your browesing with is your isps modem or their own proxy. Now visit a few https sites with good strong encryption and valid certs. Now finally check the logs in the proxy just before your pc.
What you will see is the https web site you went to.
This is the same thing your isp can see as they are your first hop after your modem. While you can bypass proxies your isp uses with another proxy you can not bypass their routers. Routers all have logging capabilities these routers will log url requests that are coming and going through them. So regardless of the number of hops tor gives you your isp can still infact see this.
The reason why tor allows you to bypass url etc restrictions your isp imposes is simple. All isps known at this time use proxies to filter url requests. Now tor like any proxy is done via ip so sense it would be impossible to filter out 1000s of ips to block them as a isp has no idea where or what those ips are they do not block on a ip by ip basis. If tor on the other hand used tor.someclient.com instead a isp could block tor with a simple tor.*.* entry.

| said by N3OGH :So, if people download photographs that children had to be exploited sexually to produce, you're saying you're OK with that? No, I don't think anyone is saying that. The problem is you cannot have anonymity and still be able to limit what is shared by the network; it just won't work and defeats the purpose of TOR altogether.
While child pornography is abhorrent you cannot go blaming those with legitimate reasons to use TOR for members who commit crimes using it. If there were a way to track only those sharing child porn without sacrificing the anonymity of everyone else you'd have a point, but the reality is there isn't and there never will be.
Decisions and judgements based on solely on emotions are almost always bad, and that's exactly what you're doing in this case, making a judgement call based on your anger towards those who participate in child porn. What you need to do is take a step back and decide if eliminating everyone's anonymity is ultimately worth it to catch a small group of people, and at what point does trampling everyone else become a bad thing; after all we could nuke New York City and eliminate almost all the child porn industry in New York City at the loss of millions of innocents. I think we can all agree that that would be a bit overkill.

Yeah why not intertwine two completely different issues and use one as a ridiculous rationale to impair the other. Makes sense right, we don't want those [insert random inflammatory category here] to be free from prosecution. Are you saying you support those [insert random inflammatory category here]? How can you justify keeping a free and open internet while people like [insert random inflammatory category] are running around on the net?
Point being that entire argument has more flaws than on target points. How about we think about reality and how things really come into play.
Look at the case in florida where theres a good chance a couple of young people getting a little frisky are gonna get their lives messed up for this exact line of thinking: »news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-6157857.html
Has anyone not seen Bush's wonderful campaign against terror? Or the FBI warrantless tapping of anything under the sun, in pursuit of phantom terrorist or worse? Replace terrorist with pedophile/drug dealer/anything else that raises your righteous indignation and we lose another freedom.

The point is that by exposing the data sources, your taking a network whose SOLE PURPOSE IS ANONYMITY and taking the anonymity out of it!

I mean hell you can abuse a child in your bedroom, why don't we remove your curtains?
I can take a sexually explicit photo of a child with a camera...so lets just install chips in all the cameras that recognize naked children and automatically blur them out...better yet, lets just get rid of cameras all together!
Not to mention this will do nothing to stop child pornography. Fetishes no matter how outright disgusting they are always have followers and those people will always find a way to meet, share, etc, etc.
But, once again, if you think ANYONE in this thread is defending child pornongraphy then you are incapable of reading

2. A system based on anonymity is pointless if it doesn't make EVERYONE anonymous. If one party can be tracked, then all parties can be tracked. Arguments against kp don't change that.

No one is supporting child porn.

Fundie Xian and don't want people reading things critical of xians? Same tech used to block child porn can be used to block that. Your favored political candidate got some skeletons in the closet? Same tech used to block child porn can be used to block the websites exposing those secrets. And on and on and on, for every single thing anyone on the planet finds objectionable.

| said by N3OGH :So let me get this straight. You SUPPORT child pornography on the internet? Just looking for clarification.... let me clarify
BBR seems full of people with NO reading comprehension, it's a statement on our lack of education in this country.
where do you see me defending any kind of porn?
I simply defend our rights to freedom of speech. you and I will NEVER stop dishonest/ SOULless people by censorship.
I also *understand* how TOR works, it was designed so that anyone anywhere in the world can send a email anonymously without fear of retaliation. the whole way the servers work is to pass the information *without* examination of the contents. about all you could do would be to limit the size of the individual content to say 50 bytes, that would put a hurt in *most* photos being sent, but even that can be circumbented.
so what would do you do?
would you also kill ALL online forums like this one, since those bastards also approach kids on them?
would you close ALL schools down, since lots of kids can be found in one easy place?
how about WE change the laws to a quick EXECUTION of the bastards once PROVEN to be child abusers in a open place, I AM ALL for that, but leave the freedoms that the rest of us want alone. We need a backbone (our society) to actually execute(laws in the books) ALL rapist and murderers, like it or not REAL fear works, and if these people KNEW what was coming it would lessen the abuse but not eliminate it.
do a online search for where you live and see how many child molesters live nearby to you, and many right near schools!
it will scare the S*iT out of you, I have a 5 year old granddaughter and a 7 year old son, and I HAVE to drive them to school because so many live nearby, my daughter now 26 was "asked" by one of these bastards into his car, I had her trained well and she screamed and ran, later the police told me that they had had the same description of the car given to them before by other parents, but the guy was not caught (to my knowledge)(and believe me I patrolled around for him) but after that all my kids went back in the car no matter how much they asked to go with their friends.
I believe in my constitution, and will always defend it, before anything else, I also believe in the law and not in mob rule. lets enforce the laws, lets follow through and kill those that need killing. if God is doing nothing about the millions dying in Africa, he won't mind a couple of thousands more that are in jails for killing innocent people.

Should their jobs be axed simply because a select few were unknowingly contributing to a degenerate practice? In addition to those Postal Workers who just unknowingly deliver the Porn (which was placed into the system for them to deliver), you have one of the largest Porn Rings in the world by the name of the US Postal Service Postal Inspectors Division and the US Printing Office. One of their jobs is to Print [USPO] and Mail [USPS] Porn as part of so called "Sting" Operations. Admittedly, they do not CREATE the original images, only reproduce and recycle those that they own due to prior sting operations. OTOH, they DO distribute it so should their jobs also be axed?
Note that just like with Tor, this is only a small part of the job of the USPS Postal Inspectors and the output of the USPO but if you take the stance of "Tor is being used for this bad activity, no matter how small a part, and thus the Tor must be eliminated" this also applies to the USPS and USPO.
No matter what item you select, you are going to find those who use it for some activity that is illegal but just because it CAN be so used, this does not justify banning the item. This is just as logical as saying "Ban Automobiles" just because they have-been/can-be used as "Get Away Cars" in conjunction to Bank Robberies. | |

I think he meant that he doesn't want to see child porn on the web, but that he was afraid the people finding child pornographers may overstep their bounds and begin either
a) Using such methods against smaller "crimes".
b) Start accusing dead people/2 year olds(see: MPAA, RIAA) of downloading child porn.
I'm all for getting child porn off the web, but it's how you're doing it that matters. Even if you take child porn off the internet, that doesn't mean bad things of that type will stop happening, nor does it mean that very same child porn film will stop being distributed. I am for things that get child porn off the internet, but I don't think it's worth using methods where 1 in 10 interrogated are guilty to get one extra flick off the net.

| The folks that are writing this "Torment" app to figure out other TOR users, well, if they can do it, more power to them.
If they do succeed, then I guess TOR wasn't as private as one thought was it?
Maybe if they get around TOR then TOR will do something to make it more secure?
Who knows. | |

Who knows. it would be a sad day if they kill anonymity on the internet, but I do understand how this SICK subject can make us all emotional to the point of "throwing out the baby with the bath water" as it were when it comes to privacy, something BUSH washes his ass with daily and then dries his ass with the constitution(sorry for the political and religion bashing).
I had to once use TOR as a whistle blower move, had it not been there (and I was able to trust it) I would never had done it for fear of retaliation( I really hate to go into more detail)as it was I was targeted as a computer savvy geek, but i was able to be cool under fire. | |

I agree with your assesment that TOR should withstand what ever it is that TORMENT does, I have to be candid I have not read up on Torment, but do recall from my one time use of TOR, that it's aquiles heel is the amount of servers you can chain your message through. I ran some test way back then and tried 5 and 10 servers links and it seem impossible to see were a message had originated, by looking at the IP packets or the header, so I can not imagine anything short of a router based tracking system to defeat it. | |

Miami, FL | hah If this guy does not want people to use his connection, he shouldn't be a server. Does not matter they will just make a new encryption for the network. | |

| server blacklist Yeah it'd be nice if each server operator could blacklist content they find objectionable. I don't know how Tor works, but I assume they've got some kind of hash for each file out there. Blacklist the hashes you don't want. It would be a neverending battle, but it would help. The downside is the network for good content becomes more visible and easier to trace. | |
