I imagine that you would only need to reorder packets end-to-end since those are the points on the network where a correlation attack compromises identity. If the packets being sent from a public web server on the internet travel through the tor network in a different order than they were seen ente

[tor-talk] bridges - higher risks for hidden services?

2012-02-26 Thread proper
Is it still advisable for users of bridges to host hidden services? Especially for private obfuscated bridges. The bridge users have only a limited number of non-blocked bridge IP addresses. And if the bridge is compromised, isn't the the risk for de-anonymizing the hidden service higher? __
