Gabriel Custodiet gives the floor to Urban Hacker to give a ground-level history of the Tor network, one of the most important privacy projects in digital history. Urban Hacker begins with Tor’s predecessors, such as mixed networks and remailers. He explains Tor’s origins in the hands of the US Navy, how China altered its trajectory, and how its basic features work. He finishes with practical tips about when and when not to use Tor.
