Over the years, several organizations have made so-called onion sites-a dedicated version of their website that they configure and host to be accessible through the Tor anonymity network. The service protects your IP address and browsing online by encrypting the traffic and bouncing it around a series of waypoints to make it very difficult to trace. Tor is an anonymity network that you access through a special browser, like the Tor Browser, and that uses its own URLs. On Tuesday, the CIA announced its own Tor "onion service," so that people around the world can browse the agency's website anonymously-or, you know, send history-altering tips. But now, the CIA is staking out a more public presence there. The anonymity service Tor has grown in popularity around the world over the past few years, but it has also long been a tool for intelligence agencies and clandestine communications-not to mention endless cat-and-mouse games between law enforcement and criminals.
