Security / Re: ip-check.info says my tor browser is tracable by e-tags, how do i disable cache?
« on: January 10, 2013, 07:16 am »
Well, the purpose of an e-tag is to check if you have cached a specific resource, so by disabling all caching you prevent that attack.

e-tags can potentially link your activity between different web sites, but they (alone) can't deanonymize you.

The Tor developers sometimes have to make trade offs between security and usability. Turning off JavaScript by default would be safer but it would also break half the web. Most people wouldn't know what was going on or how to fix it, they would just think that TorBrowser is shitty software and stop using it. The Tor devs decided that it's better for people to use Tor with JavaScript than no Tor at all.

e-tags are the same way. The Tor devs believe that the linkability threat is minimal compared to the potential breakage of turing off memory cache.

When an account gets deleted, do their PMs to other people get deleted too? Maybe the spammer PM spammed you and then his account was deleted.

You can disable memory cache, but I strongly recommend against it. It can severely impact your browsing.

The only thing e-tags can do is link you between sites or exit nodes. They can't identify you (unless you're using your real identity over Tor on one of those sites, which is stupid).

However, if you still want to do it, type about:config in the URL bar and click through the warning.

type in: browser.cache.memory.enable

and double click it so it says false.

Since you already have tor installed you need only add a line to your config file to create a hidden service domain and point it to a local port.

It's even easier than that with the browser bundle. Go to onion icon -> Settings -> Services -> and enter the target (localhost) and port info. Voila, you have a hidden service right on your desktop (you'll have to install a web server or whatever, though).

The hard part is making sure your application will not reveal information about your location.

Right. Maximum security looks something like this:

Tor is actually partially funded by the military, and the lead developer has frequent contact with the FBI.  Some of them use it too, apparently.

While it started out as a project of the Naval Research Laboratory, which is a military research facility, today it is funded by more mundane government agencies like the National Science Foundation and the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

All their finances are open.

Silk Road discussion / Re: SR Commission

Great information as when I have to cancel larger orders (most recently because a buyer put his name down a Sylvester Stallone) and after I cancelled his order he was dismayed with me saying I pocketed the some money from him. I explained this situation but the buyer didn't want to hear it.

If you want to inform buyers how much they are losing due to SR commission, then you actually want to get that from the total product price. That's what the buyers see. The original graphs were based on the initial price. I have updated them so you can look it up either way. It's not much different. In my original example, the total price is $216.50, which has a commission of $16.50, while a total price of $200 has a commission closer to $15.50.

But hey I'm pedantic. :)

@Tessellated

The commission is

$0 - 50         ->  10%
$50 - 150     ->  8.5%
$150 - 300   -> 6%
$300 - 500   -> 3%
$500 - 1000 -> 2%
$1000+       -> 1.5%

BTW, I put bigger, more detailed graphs up. If you click on the graphs you get the bigger ones. :)

something does need to be done about gun laws over there (I still think they should have weapons but there should be limits to what guns and ammo you can actually have)

I like the Chris Rock solution to gun violence.

"I think all bullets should cost five thousand dollars… five thousand dollars per bullet… You know why? Cause if a bullet cost five thousand dollars there would be no more innocent bystanders. Yeah! Every time somebody get shot we'd say, 'Damn, he must have done something ... Shit, he's got fifty thousand dollars worth of bullets in his ass.' And people would think before they killed somebody if a bullet cost five thousand dollars. 'Man I would blow your fucking head off…if I could afford it.' 'I'm gonna get me another job, I'm going to start saving some money, and you're a dead man. You better hope I can't get no bullets on layaway.'"

Right, and that's where option 2 comes in. You can download the source code, read it yourself or get a competent, trusted friend to read it, confirm that it isn't doing anything malicious, compile and run it.

Silk Road discussion / SR Commission
« on: January 09, 2013, 07:42 am »
I noticed that people ask about the SR commission a few times a week, so I made these handy graphs

http://32yehzkk7jflf6r2.onion/srcom/

The first graph is the total SR commission in dollars and the second one is the SR commission as a percent of the product price.

Here's how it works. Let's say the product costs $200. You find 200 on the x-axis and move in a straight line up until you reach the blue line, then move in a straight line left until you reach the y-axis (I drew some grid lines to help you along). You'll intersect somewhere between $16 and $17. If you do the actual math, it's $16.50, but this gives you a good estimate, no calculator required.

The grid lines are every $50 on the x-axes, and $2 or 0.5% on the y-axes.
