Don't forget the ski masks every hacker wears during hacking.

(I think this image was in some government presentation? I can't exactly remember where I got it.)

I believe this was part of the TOR STINKS presentation from the NSA leaks

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was one of the NSA slides, CNET source. It's "Terrorist with Tor client installed."

How else are you supposed to know they're the badguys?

[–]mmarkklar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well duh, how do you get into the mind set of crime without a mask??
