[tor-talk] time for inactivity/circuitswitch

[tor_talk@xxxxxxxx]

Hi Tor Talkers,

is time a weakness, isn't it?

Three year old ticket:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8766
" Start Tor with a skewed clock. For example, +/- one week.
Tor will detect, that the clock is skewed."
skewed = screwed
In the comments:
"...cell timer statistics, maybe the circuit and channel lifetime checks, maybe the relay bandwidth and geoip histories, the time_to_download_next_consensus[] as mentioned above, a hidden service's next_upload_time..."

A logic has a set of default time servers (nist, windows, ...) with which it is automatically connected; if not you have to do that manually every now and then to avoid "log entries". 

Do you have to switch your logic timer accordingly to the exit or start node to avoid a notice?
When your timer is e. g. UK time set and your exit node is e. g. US, will the website, the server of the website notice the time difference?
