TORPARK DISASTER
TOR, (The Onion Router) is a network of virtual tunnels that allows you to travel the internet anonymously. Each computer in the TOR circuit only knows the ip address of the two computers it must link to in the chain. Users can surf to sites without being tracked by computers more than one step away. Torpark is a program which, according to the author, Hactivismo (AKA Cult of the Dead Cow), "will launch a Tor circuit connection, which creates an encrypted tunnel from your computer indirectly to a Tor exit computer". Well thats what they hope, but after trying Torpark, I can say its useless. Torpark forums are full of people who cant get it to work, a few have but for 5 minutes. Anyone interested may like to try Torpark. Anyway the idea is brilliant so its still worth a visit to http://tor.freehaven.net/ especially if you want to set up a TOR server. Further reading is at Wikipedia about Onion Routing BTW you may also like this by the U.S Navy who instigated the TOR project
