I believe nobody sensible involved in Tor would claim it provides strong anonymity. Anonymous networks are a trade-off between efficiency and anonymity. Because it is efficient enough to allow web browsing, Tor provides relatively weak anonymity.
- MichaelGG 13y agoWhat's stopping an individual Tor user from selecting 5 hops instead of 3? Or a random number of hops between 4 and 8? (Besides the sacrifice in performance, of course.) In the current environment, wouldn't even going to 4 hops prevent analysis, as current analysis tools are going to be set for the default implementation?
