Tor-node stripping out TLS in SMTP conversations

Monday, January 28th, 2008

I spotted a nice incoming link regarding The Onion Router (TOR). This time an exit-node was caught modifying SMTP server capabilities, stripping out the TLS capability (encryption) so that connecting clients will be forced to send out everything as clear-text.

Here’s the link to the post.

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has lost money after publishing his bank details in his newspaper column.

The Top Gear host revealed his account numbers after rubbishing the furore over the loss of 25 million people’s personal details on two computer discs.

He wanted to prove the story was a fuss about nothing.

But Clarkson admitted he was “wrong” after he discovered a reader had used the details to create a £500 direct debit to the charity Diabetes UK.
