Understanding and Defeating TOR This session will explain how TOR anonymizes IP traffic, how TOR hidden services work, who uses TOR hidden services and the top five TOR investigation approaches. The session will start by illustrating standard standard IP based services and comparing with anonymizing TOR software. Transactions will be considered by both a DPI tool, and looking at server logs. Next, the presenter will illustrate how TOR hidden services work, and present the latest research on TOR HSDIR usage and statistics. Finally, the presenter will look at TOR statistical analysis; identifying TOR traffic via IP lookups and protocol signatures; TOR protocol defeating research such as padding and signaling; malware compromises and inducing identity-related traffic outside the TOR stack.
