If you wrote books, I'd read them- you are without a doubt, a world-class wordsmith.Thank-you for the compliment, lilith2u and treesplease too.Midori does not use wget so far as I can tell by searching the source code for an instance of its use.Re: eeee, it was a DNS leak. Liberte is a live usb OS, so it is unlikely to be malware related.Re: kmf, well, wireshark is a very useful tool, but not one I am an expert on. Deep packet inspection seems non-trivial to me. Also, one of the posters Robert Ransom has in fact said that wget does have a DNS leak, not with http or https, but with ftp. Maxim suggested Robert was using a old version of Tails, but that wasn't confirmed. The trouble is, is that although I could run wireshark and look for a DNS request containing my real ip address, is that it might be platform dependent bug e.g. version of OS, version of wget. That would explain why Maxim and Robert's results varied. Hopefully the DNS leak was a mistaken reading from wireshark though.Another subject: Why is having persistent entry guards better than randomly chosen ones? Surely using the same entry/exit nodes on the Tor network all the time increases the chance of a traffic profiling attack? LE would only have to control two computers instead of a huge number of relays. Also: is using bridges the same thing or similar to using persistent entry guards?
