Tor Presentations at What the Hack 2005

Is privacy important? Can Tor protect you and your right to privacy? Watch
this presentation on Tor at What The Hack and find out how Tor can help
you increase your Internet privacy.

"Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want
to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help
you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH,
and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a
platform on which software developers can build new applications with
built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.

Tor aims to defend against traffic analysis, a form of network
surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential
business activities and relationships, and state security. Communications
are bounced around a distributed network of servers called onion routers,
protecting you from websites that build profiles of your interests, local
eavesdroppers that read your data or learn what sites you visit, and even
the onion routers themselves.

Tor's security is improved as its user base grows and as more people
volunteer to run servers. Please consider volunteering your time or
volunteering your bandwidth. And remember that this is development
code?it's not a good idea to rely on the current Tor network if you
really need strong anonymity."
