You can DDoS TOR it self, but not a specific service easily.

You can DDoS TOR it self, but not a specific service easily.
- prvit 4y agoComplete nonsense. You can easily DoS a specific service by flooding it with rendezvous requests.
- heartbeats 4y agoThat's far from "easy" - if it were so simple, people would be able to extort big money from drug markets for doing it.
- prvit 4y agoPeople are extorting big money from drug markets doing this... It's very easy, anyone with basic grasp of C can modify the Tor client to do this.
- Krisando 4y agoAs I understand, KF have been under attack for quite some time including employing techniques here discussed on this post. https://blog.torproject.org/cooking-onions-reclaiming-onionbalance/ https://blog.torproject.org/cooking-onions-reclaiming-onionb... If it was easy, I wouldn't expect them to still be online on TOR after all this time.
- prvit 4y agoOnionbalance doesn’t solve anything, the attack remains asymmetric so you’ll have to spend significantly more on hardware than the attacker is. > If it was easy, I wouldn't expect them to still be online on TOR after all this time. You seriously overestimate how many people care enough to DDoS kiwifarms.
- Krisando 4y ago> You seriously overestimate how many people care enough to DDoS kiwifarms. Doesn't sound easy to me if you need to get more people to care than they do now. Just search 'kiwi farms' on Twitter.
- prvit 4y agoPeople screaming about this stuff on twitter are not ddosing anyone, different demographic.
- donkarma 4y agoWrong. It is very easy to mitigate (DoS) attacks on Tor, as long as you're happy to edit the source code.
- prvit 4y agoGo on, how do you plan to do that while remaining compatible with stock tor clients? It's simply not possible for the server to distinguish between real and malicious rendezvous requests.
