Onion Courier is very much hated by some a.p.a-s LEA/TLA
folks because of it's superiority over YAMN.
I announced recently here that I no longer support Tor and
it's community and that I will integrate Onion Courier in
the Nym ecosystem, but here is the README for you:
Was that before or after you got caught spinning the story about
the Tor control port being a security flaw?
On Windows it is a security flaw and an open Tor control port
is absolutely not needed, for using an up-to-date tor.exe,
which of course Danner can't deliver...
The Tor he does deliver is completely functional for intended
usage.
The control port is not "open".
It was open last time I downloaded OmniMix and a little Windows
Trojan, written in Assembly Language and not detectable by AV
software can then record and send all destination addresses, thanks
to the untrustworthy Control Port setting.
"To protect Tor's control port from unauthorized access there are two authentication methods, both supported by OmniMix. Switching between
them requires editing the 'torrc' configuration file manually."
But why to worry, there is the awesome Nym Mixnet available,
which an outdated GUI wrapper like OmniMix can't use at all
with it's third-party components...
One app, one unproven service.
What are you talking about?! The Nym ecosystem consists of multiple
trustworthy apps, where the official Nym apps had several audits.
Dozens of common apps can use the functionality of Omnimix
and Tor with little effort.
We no longer need OmniMix or QSL for Windows only, as we now have
modern Virebent and Anne Frank services available, browser based
and therefore cross-platform for desktop and mobile! EfyerYnN+AEfUC
