Using Tor are you sure you want to continue ?
TOR - The Onion Router is definetely a great choice for hackers when it comes to surf the internet anonymously as it is totally free and helps you defend against revealing states of personal information and freedom.
It protects you by bouncing off your Public Ip Address to the underlying distributed network of relays running by volunteer all around the world. It is undoubtedly the best program available for giving you anonymity but wait. Give it another thought.
To your surprise, a malicious node is a weak link in the whole security chain of the TOR network. Lets get in more deeper with it and check out what TOR actually says itself. Well, TOR clearly explains everything about its anonymous services.
Once going through it, it can easily be concluded that TOR is awesome when it comes to anonymity but bad and worst at its privacy protection and data security consecutively. All the data which is passed is first encrypted by the first node and then passed on to the next one, However exit node still gets the data in an un-encrypted format and clear text.
Hence it can easily be quoted that whatever you do using TOR hides your Public IP with Ip Address of the exit node, but on the counterpart, exit node can grab all the data and information that you might be sending to any of the website.
The whole scenario is something like an Advanced Man In The Middle Attack as the exit node can sniff all your data you are sending to your destination which can include your passwords, cookies, secret documents, net banking certificates, etc. This will be said to be Advanced MITM as MITM generally takes place in a local network while this one can take place anywhere irrespective of your Age/Sex/Location.
But In Case you love TOR and still dont want to leave TOR can go for using cool services like Putty, OpenSSH, etc. for sending confidential information. Also any of third party end to end (Source to destination) software can be implemented so that both anonymity and privacy can be scored.
So whenever you use TOR next time, give a small thought for what you will be surfing through it.
