[tor-relays] Intrusion Prevention System Software - Snort or Suricata

[Tristan]

Then what _can_ we do? Because as it stands, Tor is the perfect tool for
criminals, and your stand is "do nothing." An ISP can trace illegal
activity to a user, we can't. Even if Tor is considered an ISP in that
sense, the rules vary by country, maybe even by provider.

I'm being to think there is no real solution to the problem. As long as Tor
serves its purpose of providing uncensored access to the Internet, bad guys
will always abuse it, and the operators will almost always be at odds with
their ISP. Anything we try to do to block abuse will destroy the very
concept of Tor.
