National Network to End Domestic Violence Conference Wrap-up - August 19, 2008

A quick trip report from the National Network to End Domestic Violence training conference. I gave a series of presentations to the people who help victims of abuse. The day started off with an introduction to the technology issues surrounding victims of abuse and stalking. An overview of the challenges they face, the methods that are used against them, and the "dark side" of technologies such as RFID, Bluetooth, and GPS. My presentation was an overview of Tor, online anonymity, and places.

False Positives in 0.2.0.30: RISING found Trojan.PSW.Win32.Undef.adp - August 6, 2008

I've noticed a few comments about a Chinese anti-virus program, RISING, reporting that Vidalia.exe and Privoxy.exe are infected with Trojan.PSW.Win32.Undef.adp. In both cases, I suspect that RISING is reporting false positives. These executables as packaged and available on the Tor download page are not infected.
