But surely there aren’t that many scripts? NoScript looks to protect users by allowing them to decide which sites are allowed to run these scripts. These scripts are often used to correctly display a page to a user, but can also be used for more nefarious, or intrusive, purposes. NoScript is a browser plugin that enables the blocking of scripts/plugins (JavaScript, Flash, Java etc) from running on pages. Other assumptions will be covered throughout the post, but these are not outside the realms of what would be considered expected user behavior. There are a number of assumptions that need to be made, most importantly that the user is actively using the NoScript plugin as it was intended, or in regards TOR that the user has “safer” or “safest” set as the security setting. In this blog post I plan to show that using the NoScript plugin it is possible to glean information about what sites, or files, a user accessed while in a private browsing session and also whilst using the TOR browser.
