Tor Project

Discovered the Tor project today. Amazing that I have never heard of it until all the publicity about Wiki Leaks. The ultimate paranoiac would of course think that Tor is a government or industry plot to follow your every move and does just the opposite of what it claims. It's like some of  the "anti-virus" protection software that is in itself a virus. Always scary installing anything on one's machine. But since it is open source one can only assume that if it was in fact malware, someone would have exposed it. This is one of the special things about the open source community, the black hats and the white hats. It is a largely self-governing society.
