What this episode covers

Show Notes The Pirate Browser is a customized Tor browser bundle designed to bypass cencorship. Brought to us by the same people behind The Pirate Bay, they recommend using a VPN for better privacy. The Tor Project originated from the military and the intent is to make traffic harder to track. A vulnerability in Firefox allowed Tor traffic to be traced anyway, so always make sure your browser bundle is up to date. Tails OS is an operating system designed to be run off optical media or a USB drive. It's designed with privacy in mind. Also bear in mind that if involving oneself in illicit activities, the vulnerability increases when activity leaves cyberspace and enters the real world .
