Someone I know in graduate school did a project for Dr. George Davida (Steven Levy mentions the guy in his book Crypto..he is kinda cool) and modified a TOR node to dump all the traffic for which it was the last node and collected stats on its usage. Apparently there was lots of kiddie porn. So yeah, run TOR if you want to risk trafficking that. Onion routing is a cool concept, but maybe in practice its dangerous. Quantitative thoughts on this risk anyone?
Stop spreading FUD, please, and advise you friend that he can have legal troubles with his work (http://tor.eff.org/eff/tor-legal-faq.html): * Has anyone ever been sued for running Tor? No. Further, we believe that running a Tor node, including a Tor exit node that allows people to anonymously send and receive traffic, is lawful under U.S. law. * Should I snoop on the plaintext that exits through my Tor server? No. You are technically capable of monitoring or logging plaintext that exits your node if you modify the Tor source code or install additional software to enable such snooping. However, Tor server operators in the U.S. can create legal and possibly even criminal liability for themselves under state or federal wiretap laws if they affirmatively monitor, log, or disclose Tor users' communications, while non-U.S. operators may be subject to similar laws. Do not examine the contents of anyone's communications without first talking to a lawyer. -- Regards, ASK
