If it's not an entry or an exit, I think it can safely assume it is on the only middle node. Some statistical analysis performed from a middle node, couple with the list of exits nodes and how they're favored, might be able to highlight increases in traffic evidencing a gateway node to one or more hidden services (and if that node is not an exit too, it is almost certainly a gateway node, I would think). Just imagining a starting point for an NSA analyst :) Asa -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
