+<h2>Tor: An anonymous Internet communication system</h2> |
|
| 56 |
+ |
|
| 57 |
+<p> |
|
| 58 |
+Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want |
|
| 59 |
+to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help |
|
| 60 |
+you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, |
|
| 61 |
+and more. Tor also provides a platform on which software developers can |
|
| 62 |
+build new applications with built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy |
|
| 63 |
+features. |
|
| 64 |
+</p> |
|
| 65 |
+ |
|
| 66 |
+<p> |
|
| 67 |
+Your traffic is safer when you use Tor, because communications |
|
| 68 |
+are bounced around a distributed network of servers, called <a |
|
| 69 |
+href="overview.html">onion routers</a>. Instead of taking a direct |
|
| 70 |
+route from source to destination, data packets on the Tor network take a |
|
| 71 |
+random pathway through several servers that cover your tracks so no observer |
|
| 72 |
+at any single point can tell where the data came from or where it's going. |
|
| 73 |
+This makes it hard for |
|
| 74 |
+recipients, observers, and even the onion routers themselves to figure |
|
| 75 |
+out who and where you are. Tor's technology aims to provide Internet |
|
| 76 |
+users with protection against "traffic analysis," a form of |
|
| 77 |
+network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, |
|
| 78 |
+confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. |
|
| 79 |
+</p> |
|
| 80 |
+ |
|
| 81 |
+<p> |
|
| 82 |
+Traffic analysis is used every day by companies, governments, and |
|
| 83 |
+individuals that want to keep track of where people and organizations go |
|
| 84 |
+and what they do on the Internet. Instead of looking at the content of |
|
| 85 |
+your communications, traffic analysis tracks where your data goes and |
|
| 86 |
+when, as well as how much is sent. For example, online advertising |
|
| 87 |
+companies like Fastclick and Doubleclick uses traffic analysis to record |
|
| 88 |
+what web pages you've visited, and can build a profile of your interests |
|
| 89 |
+from that. A pharmaceutical company could use traffic analysis to monitor |
|
| 90 |
+when the research wing of a competitor visits its website, and track |
|
| 91 |
+what pages or products that interest the competitor. IBM hosts a |
|
| 92 |
+searchable patent index, and it could keep a list of every query your |
|
| 93 |
+company makes. A stalker could use traffic analysis to learn whether |
|
| 94 |
+you're in a certain Internet cafe. |
|
| 95 |
+</p> |
|
| 96 |
+ |
|
| 97 |
+<p> |
|
| 98 |
+Tor aims to make traffic analysis more difficult by preventing |
|
| 99 |
+eavesdroppers from finding out where your communications are going |
|
| 100 |
+online, and by letting you decide whether to identify yourself when |
|
| 101 |
+you communicate. |
|
| 102 |
+</p> |
|
| 103 |
+ |
|
| 104 |
+<p> |
|
| 105 |
+Tor's security is improved as its user base grows and as |
|
| 106 |
+more people volunteer to run servers. Please consider <a |

+Part of the goal of the Tor project is to deploy a public testbed for |
|
| 114 |
+experimenting with design trade-offs, to teach us how best to provide |
|
| 115 |
+privacy online. We welcome research into the security of Tor and related |
|
| 116 |
+anonymity systems, and want to hear about any vulnerabilities you find. |
|
| 117 |

+Tor is an important piece of building more safety, privacy, and anonymity |
|
| 121 |
+online, but it is not a complete solution. |
|
| 122 |
+And remember that this is development code—it's not a good idea to rely |
|
| 123 |
+on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity. |

+Currently, Tor development is supported by the <a |
|
| 128 |
+href="http://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a>. |
|
| 129 |
+Tor was initially designed and developed as part of the U.S. Naval Research |
|
| 130 |
+Laboratory's <a href="http://www.onion-router.net/">Onion Routing</a> |
|
| 131 |
+program with support from <a href="http://www.onr.navy.mil/">ONR</a> |
|
| 132 |
+and <a href="http://www.darpa.mil/">DARPA</a>. |
