Hey guys, I've been running some exit nodes for some time now, and they're doing well. They've burned through many terabytes of bandwidth, and thanks to Tor's recommended reduced exit policy, complaints have been minimal. Clearly the vast majority of the Tor traffic is not malicious, but I have received some reports from other companies and from my ISP of hacking attempts: SQL Injection, XSS, botnet C&C, basic things like that. My ISP now tells me that they could reduce the reports even further by routing the exits through a "next-generation firewall" which apparently can detect an obvious clearnet attack and drop that connection a few milliseconds after the attack occurs. I don't know how the firewall works in detail, perhaps it has the ability to drop a specific connection rather than drop all access to the destination IP for a while, nor do I know how it would interact with Tor's traffic patterns out of an exit. I'm posting here for opinions. My question is, is this a good idea, and if so, any advice? Does anyone have any experience with such a setup? - -- Jesse V. /PGP 0xC20BEC80/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQF8BAEBCgBmBQJTvyBdXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQxMjgyMjhENjEyODQ1OTU1NzBCMjgwRkFB RDk3MzY0RkMyMEJFQzgwAAoJEK2XNk/CC+yAbrcH/2IG+Z6jVNhj9j5EpvHkzl0V XXn1Fbkw7EV8P+cRfQwgmouGQZ4IhuD9QP21ql7wvAIHIkIeaKNtXDb1jELL6F3z b1r8IRm2ePOJNl3X3m/5NIbqbz2utdaRqLglo9vhmr26zx+VMJBfzE5AvVLUhq9B CzBYjJujJcASH9KWN08hhjxu81mS0xUmUnFJIfoV7sJto2y3EmJuCQXauMBsxDsf 1rNQFcoxfKS1YI1v1MdBA/xHNO+UaLUShFQR1mw7RIW8jaPNLTGE157nPXMq9xiX nTzOjkgZ3RI+qrmhcjwJEcV9BAAO86C6HXJvflbhkVPZkCBB43LFCeUKf+SGRR4= =98Se -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
