That's it Tor, one of the most popular and powerful anonymity tools on the Internet, was violated?
Two hackers promised to present Tor's way of decryption for 3.000 dollars at Black Hat 2014, an important hacking conference to be held in Las Vegas next month.
"In our presentation we will demonstrate that the distributed nature, combined with recently discovered weaknesses in the design and implementation of the Tor network, can lead to abuse to breach Tor's anonymity," the hackers explain, Alexander Volynkin and Michael McCord.
Their presentation is entitled, "You do not have to be the NSA to break Tor: Deanonymizing users for a fee" or in English the original title: "You Don't Have to be the NSA to Break Tor: Deanonymizing Users on a Budget. "
Volynkin, a scientist researcher, and McCord, a software vulnerability analyst. The details that have revealed now are not many, and many members of the Tor community hope that the two researchers will follow responsible disclosure practices of potential exploits that may jeopardize the anonymity of millions of users.
Black Hat USA 2014 will be held 2 with August 7 in Las Vegas.
