I think it's akin to port knocking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_knocking If you're worried about people trying to break into your server (by guessing passwords or exploiting vulnerabilities), it might be useful to have access to the server available only via a hidden service so that some attackers can't even find it to attempt their attacks. -- Seth Schoen <[email protected]> Senior Staff Technologist https://www.eff.org/ Electronic Frontier Foundation https://www.eff.org/join 454 Shotwell Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 +1 415 436 9333 x107 _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
