All,
I have not yet investigated the tor network, but as "ransomeware" has become more prolific, with the bad-guys demanding payment via anonymous tor sites and bitcoin, it is probably time to understand WTF it is. (a colleague running M$ was hit today) Are there different tor browsers available, or is torproject basically it.
Also, if anyone has a favorite link explaining the nuts and bolts of the tor quagmire, I welcome that as well. At first blush, it looks like tor navigation is basically what internet nav was prior to http (circa 1988). Just looking for a reference. Will start with wikipedia and go from there.
Castration is too good for these ransomeware weasels.
Cryptolocker perhaps? Seen a few last year.... http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/08/new-site-recovers-files-locked-by-cryptol...
The bad guys have moved to cryptowall I believe. No decryption for it that I know of. Greg -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
