We will examine how TOR realize the anonymity and utilize its service by downloading and using Tor browser software. A recent attack on TOR’s application flow control called sniper attacks is analyzed.  We introduce the hidden service provided by TOR and show how it can be denonymized.

We will learn how to setup a hidden server to provide web service on AWS instance. We will also learn the best practices and operational security in providing the hidden services.  We will learn how to manage the hidden server using Tor circuit and configure the web server not to reveal the software version information.  We also show how it can be defended.
