Hi. I have read in the Tor documentation that the number of Tor routers in a path is hard-coded at 3. And I understand that the path changes every 10 minutes (except for active connections).
As a client not running a server, how am I sure that at least one of the nodes in the path can be trusted? A little math: assume there are 200 Tor routers, some of which have been compromised and owned by the same attacker. If the number compromised is small, I can be somewhat confident that at least one router is trusted. However, suppose the attacker massed a "global attack" on the Tor network: all at once the attacker introduces 10,000 new routers into the network, all of which he has control of. Now, when I choose 3 routers for my path, I only have a few that may be trusted, which are in the original 200. Has this problem been addressed elsewhere? Thank you in advance. --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo! Music Unlimited.
