Tor 0.2.1.25: Help you protect yourself from the analysis of the data stream

Tor 0.2.1.25 can help you protect yourself from the analysis of the data stream - a variety of network surveillance that threatens your personal freedom and privacy of your personal or official contacts. Tor provides protection by routing network traffic in a network of servers running by volunteers worldwide. This does not allow an external observer, tracking your internet connection, to know which sites you visit, or your physical location. Tor 0.2.1.25 works with many applications, including Web browsers, using protocol TCP.

Available in two versions: with and without Vidalia (graphical user interface with which you can start or stop Tor 0.2.1.25, as well as to control its activity at work. Offers a variety of graphs - used to traffic the route, which passes on your signal etc.).

Tor 0.2.1.25 (The Onion Router) is an implementation free of a system of routing called onion routing which allows its users to communicate on the Internet anonymously. Originating in the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and by November 2005 sponsored by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Tor is being developed by Roger Dingledine and Nick Mathewson along with other developers.

Tor 0.2.1.25 provides anonymous communication channel and is designed to be resistant to traffic analysis attacks (traffic analysis). Therefore, using Tor can make a connection to a computer without this or any other has a chance to know the number of IP source of the connection.

Tor 0.2.1.25 is often coupled with Privoxy to access websites anonymously and safely. Privoxy is a proxy HTTP designed to protect privacy in internet navigation. The interface proxy Tor is a SOCKS (usually on port 9050).

It is important to know that Tor 0.2.1.25 is not 100% reliable in regard to encryption of information. Its main function is to ensure the anonymity of users, so that you can not track the information you send to reach it. The Tor network encrypts information on entry and exit to decode the network, making it impossible to know who sent the information. However, the owner of the outgoing server can see all the information when it is decrypted before coming to the Internet, so even if the issuer can not know but it can access the information.

This was very well demonstrated by Dan Egerstad, a Swedish computer security expert. Aware of this weakness in Tor, created a server on the Tor network and all information checked out by your server to its proper destination on the Internet, and thus was able to secure passwords important companies, embassies around the world and other institutions as these used the Tor network unencrypted information first. Indeed, Dan could not recognize the sender's identity, but the message contents and destination.

To achieve anonymity on the internet and also assured that no one accesses information that is being sent, you should also use some form of encryption as SSL. Besides this, the developers of Tor recommend blocking cookies and Java plugins, as they can find the IP of the sender. Another good option is to disable logging (history) of webs, for greater safety in the field of physical attackers, such as someone in the same building.
