Software release Tor Browser 16.0.1 released

32 Upvotes

The Tor Project's official release listings now show Tor Browser 16.0.1, following version 16.0 on October 29. The new release is available through the project's official download channels.

The detailed changelog wasn't available in the sources I could retrieve, so I cannot yet confirm which security fixes or other changes it contains.

Tor Browser users should keep their browser updated to receive security and compatibility fixes. Avoid unofficial download mirrors and update through the browser or the Tor Project's website.

EDIT: Link with changelog šŸ‘‡

How does fingerprinting catch you out?

4 Upvotes

Say you use a VPN to connect to tor browser on an Android Phone. (So ISP sees onky regular https traffic)

You are private yes?

So people get identified by fingerprinting - maybe my device is a Google one with a specific resolution and js enabled (narrowing it down to X number of users)

How is that actually used to identify you?

Would the site you visit have to be a honeypot, or the exist node have to be one tracking people.

But to have fingerprinting used against you - how can that lead to a specific person - or would it be a court case that says ā€a device matching X,Y,Z visited this site at this time - and you have that deviceā€ type scenario?

Reddit Using Tor for Reddit

Will using Tor for reddit get me shadowbanned? From what I understand reddit seems to flag users with constantly changing ip addresses as not authentic which gets you banned. Thanks.

is there a way i can speed up or at least turn off the time out clock

4 Upvotes

so as we all know, tor is infamously kinda slow and sometimes has a time out error. i know my service isnt the issue cus i can access sites and theres no security or javascript issues. i think ive tried everything but tbh i havent used tor in years, besides the point, does anyone know how to extend or disable the time out clock or make tor faster? i really think its timing out just because the combination of my old ass computer being super slow and tor being super slow, so it's slow² basically and i need to speed up one of the two somehow, any suggestions?

Tor Relay Operators Report Renewed DoS Attacks Despite New Defenses

Tor Relay Operators Report Renewed DoS Attacks Despite New Defenses

Tor relay operators are reporting renewed denial-of-service (DoS) attacks despite security mitigations introduced in Tor 0.4.9.15 on October 28. On November 9, one operator reported that two relays lost their HSDir flags after attacks caused severe CPU and memory exhaustion. Another operator reported similar activity on November 10, including thousands of circuit creation requests per second.

This raises concerns that attackers may be bypassing some of Tor's recent protections. The full scope of the attacks and their impact on the wider Tor network are not clear.

New Release (Android Only): Tor Browser 16.0.2 | Tor Project

blog.torproject.org
5 Upvotes

The Tor Project released Tor Browser 16.0.2 specifically for Android. It fixes a platform-specific breakage introduced by a zlib library update in version 16.0.1.

This is a compatibility correction, not a newly announced Tor-network vulnerability or confirmed anonymity compromise.

Android users experiencing problems after updating should install 16.0.2 through official distribution channels. Desktop users do not need this Android-specific update.

Tor Project releases Arti 2.8.0 with security fixes

39 Upvotes

The Tor Project released Arti 2.8.0, its next-generation Tor implementation written in Rust.

The update includes fixes for several low-severity security issues and continued development toward relay and directory-authority support.

The Tor Project specifically encourages Arti and arti-client users, especially onion-service operators, to upgrade promptly.

Arti is part of Tor's longer-term infrastructure development. These fixes concern Arti users rather than indicating that every standard Tor Browser installation is vulnerable.
