Does anyone have any theories on the methodologies being used in these Operation Onymous/Bayonet/Shrouded Horizon to figure out who tor users are? I heard one theory related to 'traffic confirmation' attacks which DDOS a particular hidden service, and then basically flood the Tor network with 'LEO relays' which are then used to figure out the point of origin.
With the amount of busts happening these days, it is definitely a scary time for those brave enough to host hidden services that engage in illegal activity.
