>Am playing with TOR and thus installed Privoxy.

Talking of which, I was wondering -- just how anonymous is a Tor connection in 
reality? I've read about the Metasploit people coming up with a method of 
tracing packets through a Tor network, but I believe that this only works if 
you are silly enough to have java connected while you browse. Is Tor 
anonymity a bit like PGP (i.e. Pretty Good Privacy only so long as someone 
doesn't have enough interest, money, and time to crack the key)? Does anyone 
on the list have an informed opinion? (... or am I opening a can of worms?)
