Thread-topic: Re: Current state of HSDir attacks on hidden services

Good morning Jon,

In addition to fingerprint correlation and AS choice, I also recall reading this paper about identifying hidden services using clock skew based on internal CPU temperature: https://murdoch.is/papers/ccs06hotornot.pdf . The paper is older, but I’m curious if such an attack method is still effective?

Make your day great,
