Thanks for the information; I've noticed myself repeating "yeah I already knew that" a lot while reading your comment; which only indicates to me I need to work on phrasing. In the same way that you could assume a child learning to speak knows nothing of the world around them by mixing up certain terms and words I believe I've made the same mistake in my vocabulary chosen on this post.

Although I did take a little away from everything you said I would like to mention the incident I referenced when I mentioned the FBI. The event I referenced was when the FBI gained control of Freedom Hosting (which was thought to house domains that published child porn) and as a part of the darkweb the FBI then reopened the pages with a piece of maleware which exploited a flaw in tor's anonymity for its users giving the FBI their locations. source: http://www.dailydot.com/crime/fbi-dark-web-malware-tor-freedom-hosting/

If I've gotten a few details of this wrong I haven't done extensive research into the incident, but rather just have a light brushing of knowledge as to how and why it was done. But regardless of that I've gained a little more insight into it now, thanks.
