Quote from: Duckman on May 30, 2012, 06:48 pmI assume you are using the tor package form https://www.torproject.org/It dosent cache anything that could be deemed incriminating to begin with.Having access to the tor network is not illegal in any country, as far as I am aware.Browsing SR again is not a crime.The standard package does not cache anything that could be used to prove a transaction. So as a small buyer, there is nothing to worry about.Thats the point of this thread.I'm not sure if I can be as relaxed as you about this Duckman.I got into a rather heated argument with a user on another thread about this. In theory the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) doesn't leave any fingerprints but I managed to find a number of bugs to show under certain circumstances it did leave cookies which could reveal more about your browser activity.Of course proving you'd accessed SR for instance on its own wouldn't be a crime but if for example you'd been caught with drugs in your possession and were trying to plead ignorance then it would hardly help your case to have the TBB with a book mark to this site on it for instance.Speaking from a digital forensics perspective and I do confess I have only a small amount of experience with DEFT Linux and the Autopsy browser which are commonly used tools, it will be always be possible to recover some deleted data from an unencrypted partition unless you overwrite the data a number of times - something which as far as I'm aware the TBB doesn't do.Of course you could avoid this problem entirely by using the TBB on a Live CD like tails but the lack of persistence begs the question where you'd keep your wallet and GPG software. My own opinion for what it's worth is that you should always encrypt the partition on which your browser is installed to reduce the chance of any data being recovered in this way - you should be doing this anyway to keep your GPG private key safe.I do not have my ego mixed up in this and freely admit I am not an IT Professional but I do know enough about supposedly unrecoverable data to keep my TBB inside an encrypted partition, anyone who disagrees please do speak up, I am more than happy to be proven wrong!V.
