So the NSA can see i visit agora, who cares.

All these deanonymization attacks being published lately have made it painfully evident that it doesnt take much to figure out who is connecting to what, even the hidden service admins work under the presumption that Tor doesnt do shit and they will find the server. Its not illlegal to visit a DNM, and for what its worth the admins could just as easily run their shit off bulletproof hosting over the clearnet and leave it at that. All these attacks are all about figuring out who connects to what, but none of them have shit to show for seeing what it is im doing.

In case you still want to be anonymous, i got a near perfect privacy solution, its called public wifi.

No one cares now, and honestly, no one will probably ever do anything about it. What scares me is that the future could very well be a place where shit like visiting a dnm is consisted probable cause to search you, enter your home, who knows.

TOR isnt just used for drugs, and your opinons reflect a growing sentiment in this community that TOR is all about the DMN markets and fuck anyone else who uses it to be anonymous.

Just because NSA traffic analysis may not affect YOU, it affects other people on the network who use it for different purposes.

And if you think that there is no way for law enforcement to figure out what you're doing then you're pretty ignorant. Just last year during the Freedom Hosting seizures, the FBI, while in control of the servers (just like this time) uploaded Javascript malware to every single site on FH servers that would install on a users computer and then callback to servers in Maryland. Thus revealing the IP of the user.

Granted that operation used the malware to bust pedos, but the tactics are still useful for any other investigation when trying to identify users and compromise their computers (collect files, record vital information, etc.) And you can be certain that they used many network investgative tools (malware) during Operation Onymous because they've successfully used malware in previous operations while they maintained control of the web servers.

Oh yeah, they also placed a tracking cooking on the users browser which tracked their activity on the compromised website. Let's hope that this time, you had javascript disabled. ;)

Its not illegal to visit a DNM, just like it's not illegal to be a white guy driving thru the hood in the middle of the night. IRL you're more likely to get pulled over than get nabbed for this. But just because they don't "know what you're doing" browsing a black market doesn't mean they're not building profiles on everybody they do know with everything they've got. "Its not illegal to visit a DNM" is a shitty defense, but say whatever makes you feel better I guess.

This may sound incredibly ignorant, but I think the NSA doesn't do a minute fraction of what they say they do.

Clearnet you say? Shiny-flakes must be ahead of his game then.
