: BurnTOR downloads: The Case of the Modified Binaries.

Summary

After creating and using a new exitmap module, I found downloaded binaries being patched through a Tor exit node in Russia.  Tor is a wonderful tool for protecting the identity of journalists, their sources, and even regular users around the world; however, anonymity does not guarantee security.

They have checksums for that, pretty much default on package managers etc.

Most morons don't remember to verify what they have downloaded most of the time. Your download through the package manager is safe but what about you .exe download from that trusted site softpedia?

I don't trust softpedia.
SSL is effective enough against this.
Don't really see the point here.
