Notice, they have the 'alleged' owner/operator of SR2. Hidden services don't need to have an exploit to fall to the GPA and 5-eyes. Now they have the alleged owner/operator they need to procure his resources to complete the final stages of indictment. We'll never hear about how they did it because them implying there's some secret sauce is a fear tactic to scare darknet operators away from Tor. The secret sauce is really old-fashioned police work using the GPA and 5-eyes.
You didn't really think hidden services or Tor a perfect defense? There is no defense against skillful application of the GPA. Good thing too--keeps us from becoming complacent. Personally I'd say good riddance. Darknets only contribute to fear mongering over the average joe using Tor. It makes agencies waste time and effort investigating innocent advocates of freedom and privacy. How's the presence of a darknet running on Tor hidden services supposed to make me feel anyway? That's your freedom being used to poison kids and evade punishment. It's not correct to think of this as Darknets/science vs. GPA/LEA/Law, more like darknets vs. science. Science won. --leeroy bearr On 11/8/2014 at 3:14 AM, "grarpamp" wrote:> A writes: > GPA = Government Procurement Agreement ? Asking so I can understand your post.
