  Very entertaining read, thank you for sharing these. I used to dismiss black ICE [0] as cyberpunk tropes and it's good to be proven ignorant. [0]:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusion_Countermeasures_Electronics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusion_Countermeasures_Elec...

  Very interesting read indeed. I've a question about it; the article is about defeating malicious crawlers/bots affecting a TOR hidden service, so my question is, how might the author differentiate bot requests from standard client requests on a request-by-request basis? I mean, can I assume that many kinds of requests arrive at hidden service through shared/common relays? Would this mean other fingerprinting methods (user agent etc) would be important, and if so, what options remain for the author if the attackers dynamically change/randomise their fingerprint on a per-request basis?
