Newbie needs some help Anonymous 08/05/15 (Wed) 06:05:35 No.316

I don't know where to start. I am not tech savvy, but I want to learn more about the differences between networks, torrents, ect.

Also, is TOR safe? I thought some hackers managed to break into TOR months ago. And I thought the NSA is trying to crack TOR (ex: Egotistical Giraffe)?

Also, what are the pros/cons for i2p and TOR and how do they compare?

Any help?

Tor is spelled Tor, not TOR. There are no known attacks on it that are relevant to its usage today (if you use the TBB without changing settings you're not supposed to). And yes probably the NSA and many other people are trying to find attacks on it.

read the threads and follow the links. some of this is simple stuff that everyone should be using. some is more for enthusiasts and /tech/ies.

>Also, is TOR safe?

as safe as it ever was.

>I thought some hackers managed to break into TOR months ago

nope

>And I thought the NSA is trying to crack TOR

yes, of course they are.

>Also, what are the pros/cons for i2p and TOR and how do they compare?

they work in similar ways but have different goals ans use cases
