Some facts described in these articles are strange: 1) There aren't so many nodes, i count only ~2400 of them. (9000 in the articles) 2) They say 50% of them are on Windows, while a rapid check here http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/index.php?SR=Bandwidth&SO=Desc indicates only ~22% of them are 3) It's not a vulnerability of Tor that is exploited to escalate rights, it's a windows' 4) Packet spinning attack is an old one, already described here : http://www.ics.forth.gr/~elathan/papers/torspin.isc08.pdf 5) I've always wondered why the OSes running the node were public. Is it really necessary to make the Tor network running?
