No, you didn't understand the point of the attack. > A valid point, I will concede. Nothing written about /16 and /24 networks in this thread is relevant to the (obvious) attack. I don't understand the purpose of most replies here. How can it be described any simpler? You intercept traffic at 25 nodes, you can deanonymize 25% of the traffic, or watch 80% of exit traffic. This makes one wonder whether this mailing list is suitable for any discussion that assumes even the most basic background. > Exactly how strongly weighted by bandwidth is node selection these days? It is linear, unless I missed something in the code. If it wouldn't be linear, then nodes would be under- or over-utilized. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
