Deanonymizing Transactions Originating from Monero Tor Hidden Service Nodes | Companion Proceedings of the ACM on Web Conference 2024

Academic paper from last month’s International World Wide Web Conference for people who enjoy reading such things. :-)

*"Our approach involves injecting malicious Monero Tor hidden service nodes into the Monero P2P network to correlate the onion addresses of incoming Monero Tor hidden service peers with their originating transactions.

And by sending a signal watermark embedded with the onion address to the Tor circuit, we establish a correlation between the onion address and IP address of a Monero Tor hidden service node."*

    And what does that achieve? He can also easily find my Monero node IP’s + IPv6’s + onion addresses in a Github issue and does not need research wodoo. ;-) He cannot see who connects his wallet there via Tor.

      It could help if they want to ban Monero and find those who are probable to be using it, and those who are contributing to the infrastructure.
