Hmmm,
perhaps they have been testing offensive capabilities?

Of course this just helps everybody. The Cambodian government would never do anything that is totalitarian and totally fucked up. We should all trust, that the people who run this will not abuse their power to suppress freedom of speech and to go after critics. After all, only evil people would do something like that and as we all know, there are no evil people working for or at these Cambodian government offices. That's just common knowledge. *whipes sweat off forehead*

hehe- clever

I agree, nice one!

Good luck, China employs 2 million fulltime workers for social media alone: http://edition.cnn.com/2013/10/07/world ... -monitors/

They are dreaming, this will never happen. And even if it does it wouldn't take so much effort to generate bogus social media noise to keep them occuppied with nonsense.

Welcome to the Internet, government, you're waking up a little too late.

Hiring government workers to read Facebook and other social media, what could possibly go wrong?

But seriously. Why the hell are they calling this Cyber War? What exactly are they going to war against? WORDS? Have fun with that.

ddos perps maybe?

vpn kind of defeats location of IP address.

but embassies from any country could easily provide an access point from any number of countries.

can't prosecute them.

they must just be paranoid those tor users.
i heard it is just an agency honeypot anyway.

We encourage research on the Tor network along with responsible disclosure of all new and interesting attacks. Researchers who have told us about bugs in the past have found us pretty helpful in fixing issues, and generally positive to work with.

Having security software audited is part of the game. It's more important to patch vulnerabilities than it is to prevent disclosure. Security products need audits, anything else would be snake-oil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_oil ... ography%29

This standard doesn't only apply to Tor but any cryptographic implementation. Algorithms get broken all the time, it's part of the game. Otherwise we wouldn't have the need for Advanced Encryption Standard contests held by NIST: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_ ... n_Standard

The idea of cryptography is not to make data uncrackable for all time being. We have Moore's law and many other parameters that come into play. Most modern crypto tools rely on the discrete logarithm problem in one way or another. Inevitably most modern crypto is based on the fact that prime numbers are hard to calculate, this will most likely end with quantum computers.

This is all natural things. The point of cryptography is to make data secret for as long as it is valuable, not for all time ever. This is the same reason why we replaced DES with 3DES, MD4 with MD5 and threw out RC4 out of the window completely in modern times.

Forever lasting cryptography is not only impossible but an unrealistic expectation. Even more importantly, it is more common that implementations are faulty than the algorithms they implement. Software errors occur all the time, and C is not a memory safe language. Times change and not only is it expected, it is something positive.

Tor does not make you secure, it makes you anonymous. If you leave data trails that make it possible to identify you then it is your fault and not Tor's, because it's something beyond Tor's responsibility. If you want to be untraceable then make sure to not connect from locations that can be tied to you and likewise avoid generating data that can identify you, because leaks occur and they should be expected.

Apologies if this is considered off-topic.
