Hi everyone, I've been thinking and reading a bit about Tor and especially hidden servers, now I have a couple of questions:
1. What are the exact criteria for applying the guard flag to a relay? The older blog entry at https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/entry-guardsnames 3 criteria with exact numbers but there is a newer post which suggests that the system has been changed since 2011. 2. How is the Weighted Fractional Uptime number calculated exactly? Could you give an quick example? I found one explanation online but when I calculated it, I always got quite different numbers than the example that was given. 3. The Locating-paper mentions three attacks to locate hidden servers and the entry guard concept as effective countermeasure. I understand how entry guards protect from the predecessor attack and the distance attack, but so far I don't see how they prevent the service location attack. Is there another countermeasure against that kind of attack or did I miss something? Would be great if anyone could help me out.
