Russian Government Offers $111,000 For Cracking Tor Anonymity Network
The Russian government is offering almost 4 million ruble which is approximately equal to $111,000 to the one who can devise a reliable technology to decrypt data sent over the Tor, an encrypted anonymizing network used by online users in order to hide their activities from law enforcement, government censors, and others.
The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) issued a notice on

And the likely hood of this?
I'm unsure of how tor works exactly but somethings just take too long to crack before an updated version is out? like PGP for example.
Interesting read none the less. I have a tutorial that I wrote depicting methods to anonymously using silkroad to purchase items on there. I cant find it in the rules thread, will this be against the rules if i post it upon achieving non-noob status?

That would depend on the way the tutorial is written. If it's written ethically then it's fine but if it's simply a how to get illegal products delivered to you then yes it would be against the rules.

I highly doubt that the tor nodes will be crackable. If the governments have to offer reward for people to do this for them that means they can't do it themselves.

This discussion doesn't make much sense to me. Tor encryption cannot be cracked if proper keys are used (execept by NSA). More over it all depends on the so called exit-node, which could potentially sniff all traffic and there's actually no way to grant that he's reliable or not.

I shouldn't think it would be a problem. Many products are sold on SilkRoad, it's a tool, no different than P2P right ?
I will post it soon.

The US government at least doesn't need to crack Tor nodes. They've been busy setting up their own nodes to intercept user information.
@TheStonedWannabe You do know that SilkRoad was shut down by the Feds quite a while ago right? Unless if your tutorial can be used with similar services which are still active on the Deep Web. Since pretty much the majority of stuff sold over there is illegal, I'm pretty sure tutorials for how to safely ship products from places like that would be against the rules of this forum.
