I'd rather host everything from home, at least in the early stages while I'm still learning. If I could keep everything at home long term, that would be nice, but I wouldn't mind paying for space in a datacenter if my service took off. Is my ISP likely to notice anything?
I'd be starting off with completely legitimate content but I want to perfect the setup as much as practically possible so that I could graduate on to other things- not child pornography, for the record.
I could get another machine to act as a gateway if that would be more secure, but what makes two separate computers better than one computer with two virtual machines?
I'll run Nginx and hardened Gentoo and route through Tor twice like the Securing Hidden Services thread discussed. I'm hoping to learn how to do this myself instead of relying on Freedom Hosting. Thank you all for the responses.
Of course it appears that the NSA is probably also monitoring Tor traffic between US nodes, which most people thought they were doing as well, but it appears that they are actually doing it legally now whereas before people assumed they were doing it illegally. The moral of the story is that the NSA is the most powerful signals intelligence agency in the world, and they are beyond a doubt the best positioned signals intelligence agency in the world. Using a low latency network to try to hide from the NSA is not a good idea.
This doesn't factor in the reality that Narusinsight boxes can be made to only target traffic from specific IP addresses, and that the list of Tor relay IP addresses is public. If they want to attack Tor they don't give a shit about the terabytes of data per second crossing the border, they just hone in on *Tor* traffic crossing the border. A single Narusinsight box can monitor 1GB/s of targeted traffic, and there are dozens of these things installed at major internet exchange points across the USA, and they are capable of analyzing the monitored traffic in real time. The conclusion that the NSA can do major damage against Tor seems quite obvious to me. Tens of thousands of simultaneous circuits don't matter because they are all involved only a few thousand IP addresses, and those IP addresses can be targeted, and it is obvious that a single Narusinsight box is capable of monitoring 100% of US Tor traffic that passes through it.
You're right, it is interesting.
Isn't the guy basically saying that clearnet is bad and TOR is a little better. I think he is being naive assuming his net activity may be safer on the clearnet due to volume of users vs percentage of info grabbed by "the bad guys".
If your Tor circuit has an entry node in Sweden a middle node outside of Sweden and an exit node in Sweden and a destination outside of Sweden, the Swedish signals intelligence agency can certainly link you to your destination.
Certainly there are many circuit constructions that are essentially known to be insecure against specific intelligence agencies without them having any need to cooperate with foreign governments.
It is deceptive to say that Tor withstands all but global external adversaries. In reality it is more accurate to say that Tor completely fails in the face of a global external adversary. Anybody who can watch entry and exit traffic of a specific circuit can defeat Tor in that instance. Simply looking at open circuits is enough to demonstrate that traffic sometimes takes a path that makes it vulnerable to single intelligence agencies. If the intelligence agency is the signals intelligence agency of Russia or China or Japan then you can see that very rarely will they be able to compromise a Tor circuit from an external position, without cooperation of foreign intelligence agencies. But if the attacker is the USA, or Germany or Sweden or the UK, then you can see that they can compromise a large percentage of Tor circuits, especially the NSA can.
... full of the empty husks of worn-out threads, roads to nowhere, brownian motion of the mind. It's the downtown Detroit of this forum. Block after blasted block of abandoned buildings, pointless real estate, with the occasional vegetable garden.
Is there such of thing as randomness? Is there order in this chaos?
50? Really?
But in all seriousness, fuck you Joywind. You aren't worth the attention you seek for some unknown reason. Nobody likes you; nobody drinks secret toasts to your health before bed, or holds you in any high regard whatsoever. You had the opportunity to create an identity free from yourself in every conceivable fashion, completely anonymous and untethered, and you chose to exercise this privilege by posting wanton and trivial bullshit. Nobody gives a fuck about you, your bestiality fetish, or your weird uncle that turned you into the seething ball of racist, misogynistic, sexually confused sadness, frustration and failed dreams you call yourself when you aren't on TOR.
