Start up 700 instances of tor, each bound to a separate IP. Bind them do a variety of ports if you like. If you have a lot of ram, this should work. :) *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

Only one way to find out, try it. If one user can break the entire tor network this easily, we're in deeper trouble than we realize. At worst, you'll be like the 149.9.x.x servers that were misconfigured and re-routed all traffic out of one IP address (and freaked out a lot of people in the process). -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B Website: https://www.torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

I can can fire up some 10, and rotate them through the address space. What is the minimum useful time for a Tor node? Hours, days?

filling a network with Tor traffic
I have a somewhat strange requirement of having to fill up a couple networks with traffic quickly (within a month or so). I'd like to make that traffic to be meaningful, so naturally Tor comes to mind. Any suggestions for making Tor filling up 2-3 /24 networks, so that it doesn't break anything for the users? Unfortunately, at this time I can't throw more than a couple TByte traffic on this. -- Eugen* Leitl http://leitl.org";>leitl http://leitl.org __ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
