Comment on Analyzing the attacks on my website

I would bet that these attacks are coming through Tor, and the country distribution is just the distribution of Tor exit nodes.

I wondered about that same thing. Obviously the "where the attacks came from" portion will never be 100% accurate.

If you are interested, Tor keeps a list of exit nodes you could compare against. I'd be curious to see how many are exit nodes.
