Re: Karmic 3rd Party Repos List - tor

Good idea. You could add the repo for tor, which is no longer officially supplied by ubuntu. Also, the previous noreply.org repo is reported to no longer work because of the removal of a dependency in karmic. Further, the official project repo doesn't have karmic, and didn't respond anyway. I can confirm the below method worked for installing tor on kubuntu karmic final. However, this is an unofficial ppa which distributes the experimental version so use at your own risk. If someone knows another source I'd be interested. More discussion on the subject: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/inde...t-1153938.html

To install tor: (save this as a script or just paste the code into a terminal)

	sudo echo "$torsrc" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Unfortunately as is said by internet security sources, a TOR network is not a secure way of anonymous web browsing. If tor users run with javascript support enabled, java applet support, flashplayer, RealPlayer, Quicktime, Adobe's PDF plugin, Google tookbar and others ... they can be manipulated into revealing their IP address. Tor is going to reveal their real ip when some servers and destination web server have some ip-denomymous scripts/plugins installed to reveal ip of a tor and other proxy users. Disabling all the stuff that allows leakage of their IP address through an union router removes a lot of glitz of the web and leaves primarily only text and static images to see. If they browse without TOR and store cookies then those cookies could reveal who they are when they start browsing again with TOR. This is just a short list of potential leaks that could betray them while using TOR. It is NOT a tool for the naive. Just installing TOR and the FireFox TOR plugins and enabling the proxy, then clicking the TOR start button in FireFox and assuming you are surfing anonymously is a sure way to get caught doing things that you don't want to get caught doing. Study up HARD on TOR and other similar technologies before you use them.

Unfortunately as is said by internet security sources, a TOR network is not secure way of anonymous web browsing.

A tor proxy is a component in anonymous web browsing. Like any tool, how it is used determines how effective it is. The pitfalls you have listed are things to be aware of, and are addressed on the tor project site:
http://www.torproject.org/download.html.en#Warning

IMO, web anonymity, like any form of computer security, has its limitations. It's never 100%, and expert users achieve more than novices. Yet that doesn't mean tor is useless - it has its function as well as its limitations.

Who Uses Tor explains a little more...
http://www.torproject.org/torusers.html.en

If your need for anonymity is critical, you should read the tor project page and instructions carefully.

However, all of that is off-topic IMO - I was merely sharing a method for those who choose to install tor on Kubuntu.
