A Tor Anonymity Attack Experiment Platform Driven by Raspberry Pi

摘要

Private Tor network is essential for analyzing security issues both for Tor project as well as for numerous researchers. However, current research work mainly focus on improving scalability and efficiency by simulating traffic discretely with single node and restoration level by deploying a complete private network with high cost. In this paper, we propose a novel methodology constructing real private tor network by editing and controlling Raspberry Pis, called Tor anonymity attack experiment platform. Compared with other platforms of the same type, the platform has the advantages of low cost, easy to scale, high quality of real-time data transmission, high degree of network protocol restoration as well as convenient configuration. In order to demonstrate the platform can be used as a private and complete Tor anonymous network experiment environment, we conduct a source tracing attack as a study case. Experimental results and theoretical analysis both show that the platform can support researchers to carry out numerous Tor network security research with high degree of restoration efficiently and cheaply.
