   I just posted this somewhere else, but I figured it might be of interest    
   to some people here, especially those folk that were interested in the    
   darknet/meshnet ideas.

   For tor privacy advocates: make sure you RTFM, you've GOT to use proper    
   habits along with torifying your system and clients.

   I think the most interesting facts in there have to do with the bits that    
   they have about having installed man-in-the-middle attack machines at    
   primary (T3 and above?) backbones where they can emulate any server that    
   they choose, and selectively implement attacks based on the software, OS,    
   and security measures that any user has installed.   
      
   God bless the USA.
