@harrisj @thejefflarson yes, if you can do global traffic analysis you can break Tor. But I don't think this is the biggest risk.
One idea I’ve wondered: even with Tor, you’re sending a lot of traffic to one IP address? Is there like a reverse bittorrent for upload?

@jonathanstray@thejefflarson I’m not concerned about breaking Tor. But if someone suddenly starts using Tor just once to send traffic... -
@jonathanstray@thejefflarson Then you have a trigger for further investigation - View other replies

@harrisj@thejefflarson depends how many people use Tor just once. And if you can really comb the world's connection logs for Tor use. -
@jonathanstray@thejefflarson not talking about the world’s connection logs; I’m talking about traffic inside your office if you are dumb.

@harrisj this could be promising: http://cl.ly/360o1B302B1c But single party and no reverse comms. -
@thejefflarson You get where I’m coming from? Traffic analysis is always a problem. -
@harrisj yep I gotcha. moar servers. - View other replies

@thejefflarson I would love it if you could somehow hide uploads in DNS requests or such. Crazy, right? -
