Seems I remember a previous article estimating 1.5 million Tor exit nodes, but I may be wrong. And in another article from memory, active ip address estimates were in the 100's of billions maybe. My bet is most illicit activity from a perpetrator would go through Tor, but I wonder how many of the police raids are due to people being 'swatted'?
- nostalgiac 10y agoYou shouldn't trust your memory... There's only just under 4.3 Billion IPv4 addresses available. And you can write off a decent chunk of those as being not available for public use. As of right now there are only 891 listed Tor Exit nodes.[1] [1]https://www.dan.me.uk/tornodes https://www.dan.me.uk/tornodes

I am indeed guilty of ignoring details when indifferent.
