Hmm, it looks like it was us (our university working group), trying to
include authentication to Tor hidden services.

For the moment, consider this as a rather agressive marketing strategy
to promote our new proposal on hidden service authentication, which we
by the way just sent to or-dev:

And the plan worked, didn't it? ;)

However, if this explanation did not convince you: It simply was a
modified Tor client going wild. The test was intended to be performed in
a private Tor network, but for some reason our Tor nodes connected to
public Tor nodes. Sorry for the confusion! In the future, we will try to
keep our packets at home. If we should fail at this, please mail me, as
it is unlikely that it was someone else.
