I put up a few pointers here for readers to get up to speed: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/traffic-correlation-using-netflows There sure are a lot of things going on in Tor-land these days, but I don't think this has much to do with any of the other recent stories. Rather, some journalist thought this would be a great time to drop another story. In summary, it's great to see more research on traffic confirmation attacks, but a) traffic confirmation attacks are not a new area so don't freak out without actually reading the papers, and b) this particular one, while kind of neat, doesn't supercede all the previous papers. --Roger -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
