Note that the traffic that they would be able to capture and decrypt in that case would be the traffic before any of Tor's protection is applied. This is because the PTK is derived from values visible to an observer during the 4-way handshake with the exception of the PSK/ PMK, which is the only unknown value. This means a local adversary who takes the time to log all of your packets and manages to capture the WPA2 4-way handshake will be able to (with effort dependent on the strength of your passphase) break your WPA2 PSK/ PMK ( Pre-shared Master Key, derived from the passphase) and once they have this they can derive the PTK ( Pairwise Transient Key, or session key which is used to encrypt your traffic) for all previous and future WPA2 sessions for which they have also captured the 4-way handshake, assuming the same PSK/ PMK. "Personal" Wireless ( WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK) does not provide forward-secrecy.
If you can run Tor Browser on the laptop and just use the phone as a hotspot, prefer that option! And avoid running Tor-over-Tor, allow the laptop to connect directly to the internet through the hotspot and run Tor Browser as normal. Especially when the "local" network is potentially hostile (which is almost always with wireless). Could there be something wrong with my hard drive? I verified the disc and it otherwise looks graphically normal, it's just all these little things.Tl dr - You should, wherever possible, use tor on the local system. It just seems like this shouldn't be this hard, with this many errors that I can't really trace to anything. But then I sometimes still get the input/output error for one of them. The only thing that sometimes works is restarting. "Failed to execute child process "Iceweasel" (input/output error)"Īnd sometimes I get the same error for even the terminal, so I can't even uninstall and reinstall Iceweasel or try running it from the Terminal.
So first, I tried to install Tor, downloaded the file, saved it to my Desktop, and it wouldn't just open and run by double clicking like it usually does, saying "there is no application installed for tar archive (xz-compressed) files tor." So I looked online and followed some steps to extract it, with 'cd Desktop/' then 'tar -xvf (file name)', but instead of running properly it just read me back another input output error.īut on top of that, just throughout using Linux, my Iceweasel keeps crashing, and when it's not crashing, it often won't start up, and there'll be an error that says: I'm running a Debian-based operating system, Kali Linux, on a dual boot on a disc on a Windows computer, and it's been really rough going. Okay so I have a bunch of problems I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with.
