The internet works by sending information to other systems and getting information back. As such, you will never have perfect security. At best you can send to systems not known in protocols not recognized via data not understood.

vmware is very big business. They care about their own money and hence have licenses, but are unlikely to have gaping backdoors.

win8 doesn't have your personal information unless you're silly enough to give it to it. They may have scammed lots of people into believing it needs an MSN account and internet access to run, but that's just not true.

NAME

       arm - Terminal Tor status monitor

SYNOPSIS

       arm [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       The  anonymizing  relay	monitor (arm) is a terminal status monitor for Tor relays, intended for command-line aficionados, ssh connections,
       and anyone stuck with a tty terminal. This works much like top does for system usage, providing real time statistics for:
	 * bandwidth, cpu, and memory usage
	 * relay's current configuration
	 * logged events
	 * connection details (ip, hostname, fingerprint, and consensus data)
	 * etc

       Defaults and interface properties are configurable via a user provided configuration file (for an example see the  provided  armrc.sample).
       Releases and information are available at http://www.atagar.com/arm.

OPTIONS

       -i, --interface [ADDRESS:]PORT
	      tor control port arm should attach to (default is 127.0.0.1:9051)

       -c, --config CONFIG_PATH
	      user provided configuration file (default is ~/.arm/armrc)

       -d, --debug
	      writes all arm logs to ~/.arm/log

       -b, --blind
	      disable connection lookups (netstat, lsof, and ss), dropping the parts of the interface that rely on this information

       -e, --event EVENT_FLAGS
	      flags for tor, arm, and torctl events to be logged (default is N3)
