I saw this press release today from my Savant Protection. According to the release Savant’s Protection has been ported over to the Google Android platform.

(ab)using Tor to spy on connections

I saw a reference to this article recently. I knew how Tor worked but never really go under the hood of the exit servers. Well apparently some others have and are setting up their own exit servers for nefarious purposes. It seems as though if you setup an exit server you can specify what ports [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "(ab)using Tor to spy on connections", url: "http://www.infosecpodcast.com/2008/02/abusing-tor-to-spy-on-connections/" });
