An Extended View on Measuring Tor AS-level Adversaries

arXiv:2403.08517v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Tor provides anonymity to millions of users around the globe which has made it a valuable target for malicious actors. As a low-latency anonymity system, it is vulnerable to traffic correlation attacks from strong passive adversaries such as large autonomous systems (ASes). In preliminary work, we have developed a measurement approach utilizing the RIPE Atlas framework -- a network of more than 11,000 probes worldwide -- to infer the risk of deanonymization for IPv4 clients …
