Tor for Technologists

Tor is in news articles a lot nowadays, but is often
misunderstood - even many technologists don't see past its
use for negative purposes. Ola
Bini, who is one of my most active colleagues working in
internet privacy, has put together an article to introduce Tor.
It covers how Tor works, together with some of the tools that come with it
(the browser bundle, hidden services). Anonymity is difficult,
so it's important to understand Tor's limitations and the
controversies about whether Tor is broken. Even if you're not an
activist, Tor is useful for testing what websites look like
without personalization and from different countries; it is also
handy for providing secure access to servers.
