[gus]

Hello,

A few Tor people & relay operators will be attending Defcon this year!

Stop by the Tor booth to meet the team and check out new Tor merch:

Don't miss our main presentation, "Measuring the Tor network",
happening on August 10th at 3pm.

Measuring the Tor Network
=========================

Millions of people around the world use Tor every day to protect
themselves from surveillance and censorship. While the Tor Browser and
its protocol are widely known, the backbone of the Tor ecosystem, its
extensive network of volunteer relays, is often subject to speculation
and misinformation. The Tor Project is dedicated to supporting this
network and fostering a vibrant, diverse community of relay operators.

This talk will focus on our efforts to maintain a healthy network and
community, and detect and mitigate attacks -- all with the help of
metrics and analysis of usage patterns. By illustrating how we collect
safe-enough metrics for an anonymity network, we will offer insights
into how we identify unusual activity and other noteworthy events on the
network. We will also discuss our ongoing strategies for addressing
current and future network health challenges.

If you are interested in understanding the inner workings of the Tor
network and its relay community and how we keep this vital ecosystem
running, this talk is for you.
