Comment on Tor security advisory: “relay early” traffic confirmation attackparent

Comments

you probably need to remain constantly connected and moving data through Tor 24/7

I guess this is why they recommend running a (non-exit) relay – at the very least it increases the cost of figuring out when you're using Tor yourself.

It's still vulnerable to passive analysis as the other guy noted since if you control the ISP for the end-user you have some idea how much data is being pumped through an encrypted connection. [e.g. Is it just staying alive or pulling 50mb/s?]
