As I pointed out above, — it isn't really. Without the exit flag, I believe no tor node will select it to exit 8333 unless manually configured.

Fits a pattern of someone running a bitcoin node widely connecting to everyone it can on IPv4 in order to try to deanonymize people, and also running a tor exit (and locally intercepting 8333 there), but I suspect the tor exit part is not actually working— though they're trying to get it working by accepting huge amounts of relay bandwidth. I'm trying to manually exit through it so I can see if its intercepting the connections, but I seem to not be able. Some other data from the hosts its connecting out to proves that its lying about what software its running (I'm hesitant to just say how I can be sure of that, since doing so just tells someone how to do a more faithful emulation; so that that for whatever its worth). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Infragistics Professional Build stunning WinForms apps today!
