Vandal attack

Anybody know why this page has been getting a DDOS vandal attack? —Ben Brockert (42) 09:00, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

It's linked from a new Slashdot article. adamsan 09:08, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Why do they always use the same image? I thought the slashdotters were usually pro-wikipedia. Anyway, I've sent abuse messages to eleven places so far, I'll be happy if one of these dorks gets booted off their provider for this. Really, it's a pity, the article could have used some constructive editing. —Ben Brockert (42) 10:12, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

Contents

In the intruduction should be added, that Tor (the 2. Generation Onion Router) was initially designed and developed as part of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's Onion Routing program with support from ONR and DARPA.

That's a bit misleading; Onion Routing began as an NRL project funded by ONR, and later by DARPA. Much of the Tor (2nd generation) work was contracted by NRL to Moria Research Labs (all of this in covered on the original Onion Routing website). But you're right: there is no mention of NRL in the article, yet they were the ones who created this.

TOC

When this page gets unlocked perhaps someone can add __NOTOC__ as the Table of Contents looks a bit silly given the pages layout. Dalf | Talk 21:33, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I did, but then thought better of it and just added normal sections, so that the TOC would look right. —Ben Brockert (42) 22:28, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

Capitals

It seems unusual for both Onion Routing and Onion Router to be capitalized. Most of the former I found on Google were capitalized, but it appears that common use of the latter is moving away from capitalization. If popular use continues in that direction, at some point the article may need to be moved to Onion routing and the article changed accordingly. —Ben Brockert (42) 22:28, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

Well according to Wikipedia article naming policy the article should be name "Onion routing" with a small r. And even THE onion router (Tor) writes it as "onion routing" and not "Onion Routing" on its official main page. So it seemed to be a clear case, I moved it. --David Göthberg 17:16, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JAP

Someone should add JAP, the java anonymous proxy, to the software list- http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/index_en.html Family Guy Guy 08:01, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Garlic routing?

Anyone have some info, or comparison of garlic and onion routing? Would such comparison be an appropriate extension of this article? -aryah, 20.04.2006 14:22 GMT
