What is a TOR?

Author: T.Garver2 (7 Jun 16 6:29am)

First, thank you for this system!.

At first i thought TOR was short for torrent, then i did some research and it seems like a new breed of proxies that are undetectable.

So my question: Does project honey pot have a means of detection of these types of requests?

I am starting to see a good bit of traffic from them or at least i think i am, and i am just manually looking them up on the TorStatus page, but i am not sure if that means its a valid request or not.

Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks again
Tim

They could be hackers, are you getting things like the referral URL being pizza tycoon and similar? Another toxic one I'm getting multiple hits each day with falsified details I posted previously, hosted by Black Oak Computers.

Lot of this crap is coming from Spam Host RookMedia.com!
deny from 208.73.208 208.73.209 208.73.210 208.73.211

TOR is used to hide from BigBrother, but it can also be used for evil.
I also block TOR referers just to be safe ;)
