+<p>We need people to attack the system, quantify defenses, etc. For example:

+<ul>
+<li>Website volume fingerprinting attacks (<a

+href="http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#hintz02">Hintz</a>).
+Defenses include a large cell size, <a
+href="http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#timing-fc2004">defensive dropping</a>,
+etc. How well does each approach work?</li>
+<li>The end-to-end traffic confirmation attack. We need to study
+long-range dummies more, along with traffic shaping. How much traffic
+of what sort of distribution is needed before the adversary is confident
+he has won?</li>
+<li>It's not that hard to DoS Tor servers or dirservers. Are puzzles
+the right answer? What other practical approaches are there?</li>
+<li>What sensitive info squeaks by privoxy? Are other html scrubbers
+better?</li>
