Re: [tor-talk] Tor compromised?

[torvlnt33r@xxxxxxxxxxx]

A guess is that there might be a link between the bridges
enumeration attack mentioned in that article and the recent spike
in bridge use, for which one of the hypotheses was a botnet
(https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2011-September/0
21347.html).

Creating many circuits through the bridges is a way to make them
visible to a large proportion of relays, including potentially
malicious ones.

A possible countermeasure might be something similar to the
"Entry Guards" mechanism for circuits that go though bridges.
