Subject: Tor anonymizing network Compromised by French
	researchers

French researchers from ESIEA<http://www.esiea.fr/c/en/Web.Esiea.Public.cuke?>,
a French engineering school, have found and exploited some serious
vulnerabilities in the TOR network. They performed an inventory of the
network, finding 6,000 machines, many of whose IPs are accessible publicly
and directly with the system’s source code. They demonstrated that it is
possible to take control of the network and read all the messages that
circulate.

But there are also hidden nodes, the Tor Bridges, which are provided by the
system that in some cases. Researchers have developed a script that, once

the topography of Tor*," said Eric Filiol.
