Hi Elias,
Thanks for sharing the links.
I have also started working on a simple chrome extension which connects to
local bitcoin core and checks IP address of all peers for prefix length and
other things. I would highlight peers with different colors based on certain
things in this extension.
Hi alicexbt,
Routing attacks have actually been studied quite a bit in literature.
You may be interested in the research articles of Maria Apostolaki et al.[1,2],
Muoi Tran et al.[3], and related works.
Best,
Elias
