This talk is about privacy. Privacy is good, but it is also a haven for “evildoers”. It also hurts law enforcement and prevents social control.
Privacy is broken, because it is too complex. One of the ways to measure this is to see if the users IP address can be obtained. This is the gold standard.
Rsnake and Jabra demonstrated client site exploits that will defeat common proxy techniques such as classic HTTP proxies, CGI proxies, SOCKS proxies, and Tor.
