Too lazy to look up the source but part of the leaks (and a separate leak too I believe?) Was how they have been working on what you said along with basically running a lot of the relay's and combinig that with their existing internet traffic visibility. I don't so much think they've broken it,more like they can de-anonymize who is visiting hidden sites or going out of exits with good enough accuracy.
Oh,and after the raid in so many dark web markets,people now pretty much presume this is the case, they deanonymize and inform law enforcement so they can back track the evidence trail (parallel reconstruction). A lot of dark web trading has just moved to places like telegram
- cjbprime 7y agoThat doesn't sound right. I don't think they had much success. The presentation seemed largely resigned. Every dark web arrest I've seen has been caused by terrible operational security (e.g. having a Gmail account traceable to the admin of the dark web site) rather than a break of Tor.
- badrabbit 7y agoThe snowden slides are from 2008 mostly right? I think the article I read was describing how around this time gchq started collaborating with the NSA and CIA because the Tor problem was growing bigger and bigger. Their current capabilities are unknown, but their last known public plan was to control more Tor nodes and retroactively deanonymize Tor flows iirc. For the dark web stuff, the opsec failure is supposedly parallel reconstruction.
