I see I’m not doing any work today, so rest day. Watching YouTube day.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci how? Monero + tor or i2p. Try and block that.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci anyone can run a exit node. Show me a case where a hidden service was taken over without regular investigation etc.
The biggest darknet markets where taken down due to misconfigurations or mistakes leading them to leak IP and such , not because tor is compromised or that some agency ran a exit node.
A hidden service’s traffic never goes through a exit node, only passes through middle nodes and everything stays encrypted.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci exit nodes and tor traffic that is contained within tor network is two separate things. And I do know what I’m talking about. I ran a exit node for a long time, rented vps in sweden, police raided there, then came at my door the next morning because someone sent angela merkel a threatening email through my exit node. Blocking exit nodes does not shut down hidden services because hidden service traffic never leaves the tor network.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci and a lot of advancement has happened since 2015..
