Detecting Tor Communication in Network Traffic

I find it interesting that the article uses the term "TOR" even though the Tor FAQ clearly states the following:

Note: even though it originally came from an acronym, Tor is not spelled "TOR". Only the first letter is capitalized. In fact, we can usually spot people who haven't read any of our website (and have instead learned everything they know about Tor from news articles) by the fact that they spell it wrong.

They're just not doing it right, that's all. Few are. Nothing interesting about it.

Had the author used "Tor" instead of "TOR," I wouldn't be wondering what else they may have done wrong.

Kind of like the story about Van Halen and brown M&M's?

Also Linux should be written GNU/Linux.

you are, of course, right. but it's irrelevant to this point. there is a strong consensus, that it's 'Tor' and not 'TOR'. there is _no consensus at all_ on 'gnu/' or not 'gnu'.

I was trying to be sarcastic, but OK.
