One of the biggest networking limitations is the fact that Tor listens on ports with the SOCKS proxy, yet most networking applications don’t support SOCKS natively, requiring a researcher to buy additional hardware or virtual machines, or learn an unfamiliar operating system. A researcher with startup Crowdstrike may have bridged those gaps with a tool called Tortilla. Expected to be unveiled at the upcoming Black Hat Briefings in Las Vegas in two weeks, senior security researcher Jason Geffner will not only deliver a presentation on the tool, but will release it as open source.
