After talking with APNIC/RIPE, it looks like that if we ask nicely we can get high-quality BGP-peering graphs for the entire Internet (not 100% complete, but it's the same data they use internally). Spend some time thinking about exactly what kinds of attacks we wish to harden against. Once we

You've set 2 port numbers, 9001 and 80, to listen on. Pick one or the other. Also, set "SocksPort 0". On Monday, September 21, 2015 1:20pm, "Geoff Down" said: > Hello all, > I'm trying to set up a Bridge/Client Tor instance with the following > torrc: > >

Hi Virgil, It appears that vizAS detects connections between ASes when they are observed as adjacent on paths reported by Route Views [0]. When I construct AS-level routing maps (e.g. as in [1]), I combine Route Views data with the AS-level topology produced by CAIDA [2]. The CAIDA topology is

Sorry, it's me spamming again. If you chose to transparently proxify whatever, you should set your browser agent and id and plugin and fonts settings similar to tor browsers'. If you don't, your browser is easy to be uniquely identified and the more time goes on, the more likely you're linked to
