Re: [tor-relays] Are BWauths punishing 'bad' relays? (not publishing measurements)

We're not punishing on purpose, that's for sure. DirAuths may not vote on a relay to exclude it from the consensus, or may vote to give it BadExit, but BWAuths have no such mechanism, and I guess you'll just have to take the words of the individual operators to not do something as evil as try and

Re: [tor-relays] relay's count handshake versions, why not TLS handshake types?

I wonder if you could just run sslyze (or another TLS scanning tool) on the OR ports of all the relays, and see what ciphersuites they accept. It won't be exactly symmetric - I'm not sure (one can investigate the code though) if those same ciphersuites will be the ones offered in a relay - relay

This seems very similar to the idea of having private exit nodes: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#HideExits It's also easy to enumerate Exit IPs not by scanning up/down, by just building a circuit through every exit node to a server you control, and looking at the originating IP. -tom
