Hello fellas,
As a follow-up to the discussion we started on Twitter, I wanted to
start this thread here as well to get the discussion going.
The main point of the discussion were:
- What can be done to stop botnets abusing Tor for concealing its
infrastructure?
- What kind of impact would a large adoption by malware writers of Tor
and Hidden Services have on the Tor network and its usability? Is it a
serious threat to the project?
- Is there something the security community and botnet researchers can
do to help out?
Regards,
C.
