- sweetbitter 4y agoFor very obvious reasons you don't need to run any nodes, craft any malware, or scrutinize a target's layer 3+ OPSEC, in order to break Tor. You simply go to tier 1 ISPs and buy up IP datagram headers going to/from entry nodes and you win. The only solution is a constant rate of fake traffic to the guard node.
