New research from MIT shows how malicious Tor entry guards can strip away the Dark Webs anonymity features, exposing users and the hidden websites they visit. MIT researchers visited the home pages of a number of different hidden services and used the traffic that was generated to teach a computer program that learned to identify them. The Tor project has responded to the research with an article of its own written by the Tor project leader and one of the original developers. Roger Dingledine, Tor’s original developer, uses his platform to welcome the research and to put the dangers the attack poses in to perspective.”]
