Geolocation was performed against the IP addresses using MaxMind GeoLite2 databses (). The list of exit nodes was downloaded from the Tor Project in csv format. You can get the onion address by looking at /var/lib/tor/nodeapp/hostname and then access it over Tor as long as Tor is running on the system and the node application. Tor Exit Nodes Geo-Located and Mapped Map and Charts are updated daily When you restart Tor, it will initialize the hidden service (generate keys etc) and start proxying port 80 to local port 8080 (the node application). To gain an understanding of the technology the Tor Project website is the best place to start. If you send an email using SMTP (no TLS) then the email could be intercepted.Using a forum that does not use HTTPS your login, password, session cookie and posts could all be captured.However, you should always have a good understanding of the risks and keep your traffic encrypted end to end, as any of these exit nodes could be watching your traffic flows.Īt the most basic level, unless you are using encrypted protocols (HTTPS / SSH / TLS), the Tor traffic could be monitored. Use of the Tor Project by activists and Human Rights Defenders can be a valuable tool in avoiding surveillance. Understand the Technology, Understand the Risks However, even a handful of bad nodes are a threat as exit nodes are periodically changed as you use the Tor network. They are managed by good Internet citizens who believe in the aims of the Tor project. The majority of exit nodes are likely not monitored and are "safe".
