At the risk of blowing my own trumpet, I tried writing up suggestions for hardening hidden services to preserve their anonymity:

...although the above was written long before I got seriously into EOTK, and into the amazing benefits of using Unix-domain sockets to connect my webservers and tor-daemons.
Aside: the benefits of Unix-domain sockets include:
- massively increased resistance to socket-table-filling denial-of-onion-service attacks, and faster recovery times - (probably) lower latency - reduced (but not eliminated) risk of IP metadata leakage of internet address, etc, because less reliance on network addresses
But between *that* document, and some of the tech in EOTK, there may be some useful hardening tips for you.
