Tor Admins Call for Calm after Research Attack Reveals 81 Percent of Users

The Tor project has called for calm despite research that shows 81 percent of users could be identified using Ciscos NetFlow technology. The study revealed that powerful attackers such as nation-state hackers could reveal Tor users identity with a false-positive rate of 6.4 percent. The research was run on a high-performance research server within the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology in Delhi University. The attack method can allegedly be put into practice because of the way Tor systems preserve packet interarrival characteristics.”]
