Description :
Tor is a connection-based low-latency anonymous communication
system. Applications connect to the local Tor proxy using the
SOCKS protocol. The local proxy chooses a path through a set of
relays, in which each relay knows its predecessor and successor,
but no others. Traffic flowing down the circuit is unwrapped by
a symmetric key at each relay, which reveals the downstream relay.
Warnings: Tor does no protocol cleaning. That means there is a
danger that application protocols and associated programs can be
induced to reveal information about the initiator. Tor depends on
Privoxy and similar protocol cleaners to solve this problem. This
is alpha code, and is even more likely than released code to have
anonymity-spoiling bugs. The present network is very small, which
further reduces the strength of the anonymity provided. Tor is not
presently suitable for high-stakes anonymity.
