QUESTION = what Tor is, and why everyone praises it as the king of proxies. GENERATION = The reason why tor is so popular is because it's extremely secure, meaning that you can't be traced back to where you came from. Imagine if you had a bank account with your neighbor, and he had a bank account with his neighbor, and so on. If you were traced back to your bank account, you'd be arrested and charged with bank fraud. This is how it works. You have a bunch of computers connected to a network. A "tor" connection is used to connect all of them together, so you can access all of the computers at once. The network is designed so that if one of the computers goes down, all the computers in the network are still connected to the network. The network is then connected to the computers in your house. The computer in your house can't talk to the computer in the network, because it's locked up with the network. The reason why people praise tor is because it's so secure. When you use tor, you don't need to know where the traffic comes from. You can just tell everyone else that it's coming from a particular computer in your house. RETRIEVAL #0 = Tor (anonymity network)---for the exploit as "EgotisticalGiraffe". Section::::Implementations.:Tor Messenger. On 29 October 2015, the Tor Project released Tor Messenger Beta, an instant messaging program based on Instantbird with Tor and OTR built in and used by default. Like Pidgin and Adium, Tor Messenger supports multiple different instant messaging protocols; however, it accomplishes this without relying on "libpurple", implementing all chat protocols in the memory-safe language JavaScript instead. In April 2018, the Tor Project shut down the messenger project because the developers of Instantbird discontinued support for their own software. Section::::Implementations.:Third-party applications. Vuze (formerly Azureus) BitTorrent client, Bitmessage anonymous messaging system, and TorChat instant messenger include Tor support. The Guardian Project is actively developing a free and open-source suite of applications and firmware for the Android operating system to improve the security of mobile communications. The applications include ChatSecure instant messaging client, Orbot Tor implementation, Orweb (discontinued) privacy-enhanced mobile browser, Orfox, the mobile counterpart of the Tor Browser, ProxyMob Firefox add-on, and ObscuraCam.

Section::::Implementations.:Tor Browser. The Tor Browser, previously known as the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB), is the flagship product of the Tor Project. It consists of a modified Mozilla Firefox ESR web browser, the TorButton, TorLauncher, NoScript, and HTTPS Everywhere Firefox extensions and the Tor proxy. Users can run the Tor Browser from removable media. It can operate under Microsoft Windows, macOS, or Linux. The Tor Browser automatically starts Tor background processes and routes traffic through the Tor network. Upon termination of a session the browser deletes privacy-sensitive data such as HTTP cookies and the browsing history. Following a series of disclosures on global surveillance, Stuart Dredge (writing in "The Guardian" in November 2013) recommended using the Tor Browser to avoid eavesdropping and retain privacy on the Internet.

It runs, it is open and it is supported by a large community spread across all walks of life." In June 2013, whistleblower Edward Snowden used Tor to send information about PRISM to "The Washington Post" and "The Guardian". In 2014, the Russian government offered a $111,000 contract to "study the possibility of obtaining technical information about users and users' equipment on the Tor anonymous network". In October 2014, The Tor Project hired the public relations firm Thomson Communications to improve its public image (particularly regarding the terms "Dark Net" and "hidden services," which are widely viewed as being problematic) and to educate journalists about the technical aspects of Tor. In June 2015, the special rapporteur from the United Nations' Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights specifically mentioned Tor in the context of the debate in the U.S. about allowing so-called backdoors in encryption programs for law enforcement purposes in an interview for "The Washington Post". In July 2015, the Tor Project announced an alliance with the Library Freedom Project to establish exit nodes in public libraries. The pilot program, which established a middle relay running on the excess bandwidth afforded by the Kilton Library in Lebanon, New Hampshire, making it the first library in the U.S. to host a Tor node, was briefly put RETRIEVAL #5 = Aish Tor---Aish Tor Aish Tor is a small tor above the northern side of the Dart Gorge in Dartmoor, Devon, England, that is accessed by Dr. Blackall's Drive from Newbridge Hill.
