While many of you have heard of the TOR network, many of people have no clue how to install and connect through it. While I have made a tutorial for Windows users about how to run a browser that connects through TOR to protect your browsing traffic, Linux is much less user friendly. But with a little guidance you will be able to setup and run your connection through the TOR network.
Tor is free and open source software and an open network that helps you defend against network sniffing, and can even allow you to connect to whatever sites you want in certain countries that block certain sites. It has been used by everyone from corporate whistle blowers to people behind government implemented firewalls, I believe the Internet should be free from censorship and that an individual should be entitled to privacy while online.
This guide will guide you through installing TOR on Kali Linux.
TOR protects you by bouncing you communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world! It prevents somebody from watching your internet traffic and learning what sites you visit, and it also prevents sites from learning your physical location. It can be used for good or evil, but the bottom line is, it protects us all.
Tor is available in Kali repository, to install it directly from the repository open your Terminal and type this:
apt-get install tor
Enable tor service from command line:
service tor start
Browse with confidence by using proxychains and tor
proxychains iceweasel
To keep things simple in this post, I’ve only shown you how to run a web browser through TOR. In a future post I will show you more advanced techniques.
