There could be a combined monitoring array deployed among all nodes that might start to answer these questions. And further alert on all sorts of interesting network attacks launched at Tor. Software exploits... segmentation / modulation attacks... etc. This is perimeter security 101, and Tor currently has no fence, no guard dogs, not even a janitor you can ask the next day. That's beyond bad. And big oppurtunity for new research project.

Not that long ago, grarpamp, you were vehemently--to the point of hysterics--opposed to fences, even with gate passes for authorized entry. Now you complain about the lack fences (without mention of gate passes, however), guard dogs, etc. What changed your mind?

There are often silly filters and SSH WARNING OMG type of things people do individually that are generally moot. That was probably the context. No time to cover various scenarios therein.
Here, we're considering aggregating the entire network as one to see about what may be going on as a whole. Because tor has no vision there right now. Dogs that wake you up and a janitor to ask might be nice byproducts. Though being able to do anything about a discovery, given the potential dark makeup of any attacker, other than expose it's existance, seems less likely.
