    That’s a very old post but yeah, it is, so is Ghidra (a retro-engineering tool). A lot of people have had the exact same argument of “the NSA made it, it has to be evil!” but lots of security people dissected the code (the fact that it was made by the NSA probably made more people look through it in fact) and no backdoor has ever been found in years. It’s safe to use.

      That’s what they want you to think!

    They made it and they use it. So if they intentionally put a flaw in it that would be very stupid.

    I mean, Tor was made by the Navy. I don’t know how much of the motivation is surveilance vs protecting operatives.
