An online user employs an email-based blind drop to remain anonymous.

Describe some approaches to ferret out the user’s identity.

Use a large, public onion routing system, such as Tor, to anonymize Web

requests. Connect to the URL http://www.google.com/. Flush the browser’s

cache and repeat the experiment. (Because Tor caches functional onion

routes, it will need to be restarted to flush the stored path.) What Web page

is returned? How does the server know which page to return?
