[tor-relays] NPR story: When A Dark Web Volunteer Gets Raided By The Police

[Markus Koch]

The issue is: How do you know a exit server is compromised? As a CCNP
I can configure a SPAN Port in 30 seconds and suck all the exit
traffic out of it without any indication for the server owner. Even if
he visit his server in the data center and no one visit their servers
:/
