Tor is a network that enables anonymous communication by routing traffic through multiple relays. An exit relay is the final node in the Tor network through which a user's traffic exits before reaching the destination server.
The main purpose of ExoneraTor is to help in cases where an IP address is suspected of being involved in some form of misuse, such as hacking or spamming. Sometimes, the implicated IP might belong to a Tor exit relay rather than the actual user responsible for the activity. ExoneraTor allows investigators, website administrators, and other parties to determine if the IP address in question was part of the Tor network at the time of the suspicious activity.
Key Features of ExoneraTor:
- IP Checking: Users can enter an IP address and a date, and ExoneraTor will tell them if that IP was a Tor exit relay at that time.
- Database Access: ExoneraTor uses a database of historical Tor network data to provide accurate information about exit relays.
- Anonymity Verification: It helps in verifying whether the traffic originated from an anonymous Tor user rather than directly from an individual.
