TOR Attack Part II - N&IS Class 2010 - 2011

Hi to all

The further developments of our TOR attack will be presented at 28C3 in Berlin.

Oluwaseun Remi-Omosowon from Nigeria will be co-speaker for this event and will present recent results about his spinning attacks and how to apply it to a possible datagram (UDP) version of TOR. He has implemented two libraries (spinning attack code and Ruby lib to automate the recovery of hidden OR [relay bridges]). Moreover he has designed the Google Earth animations which illustrate the whole attack.
All stuff (slides, paper, lib, animations...) are now available here

New exciting projects will be proposed to the new N&IS 2011 - 2012 class.

The TOR Attack and Students from N&IS 2011 - 2012 Class

Hi to all

The operational cryptology lab has designed a new powerful attack against the TOR anonymity network.
We effectively succeed in taking the control over a significant part of the TOR network bypassing the encryption in a transparent way.

This work will be presented at two major hacking conferences:

• H2HC 2011 in Sao Paulo, Brazil (October 29-30th, 2011).
• PacSec 2011 in Tokyo, Japan (November 9-10th, 2011).

A significant part of this attack has been implemented by two students of the N&IS 2010 - 2011 Class:

• Leonard Mutembei from Tanzania 
• Oluwaseun Remi-Omosowon from Nigeria. He has implemented two libraries (spinning attack code and Ruby lib to automate the recovery of hidden OR [relay bridges]). Moreover he has designed the Google Earth animations which illustrate the whole attack.

All stuff (slides, paper, lib, animations...) will be released by mid-november.
The N&IS students have done an excellent job and we are very proud of their results.


New exciting projects will be proposed to the new N&IS 2011 - 2012 class.
