SSH IP Spoofing Attack on Tor

In October, a coordinated IP spoofing attack targeted the Tor network, disrupting relay operators and directory authorities. This video explains the attack, its impact on Tor’s infrastructure, and how the Tor community rallied to protect online privacy.

We’ll cover:

How IP spoofing and DDoS tactics targeted Tor relays, creating chaos and triggering abuse complaints.
The role of directory authorities and relay operators in Tor’s security.
Understanding SYN, SYN-ACK, and RST packets, and how attackers faked IPs to impersonate Tor relays.
The coordinated efforts by Tor Project members, cybersecurity expert Andrew Morris, and relay operator Pierre Bourdon to trace and halt the attack.
Despite the disruption, the Tor network stayed online, proving its resilience. For relay operators, we’ll also share best practices recommended by the Tor Project to prevent future attacks, including network monitoring with Tcpdump and using OONI Probe.

The Tor network remains a critical tool for internet privacy and anti-censorship, even under attack. Learn about the security measures and community collaboration that kept Tor strong against threats to online freedom.
