Common Darknet Weaknesses
Presented by Adrian Crenshaw MCSE NT 4, CNE, A+, Network+. i-Net+ "Irongeek"
Ok, this talk did not come out quite as well as I hoped. I should be able to polish it more before Defcon
Darknets/Cipherspaces such as Tor and I2P have been covered before in great detail. Sometimes it can be hard to follow attack strategies that have been used against them as the papers written on the topic have been academic and abstract. What this talk will attempt to do is step back and give an overview of the topic in a manner hopefully more conducive to the understanding of security practitioners, giving more concrete examples. While little to nothing in this talk will be "new and groundbreaking" it should lead to a better understanding of how encrypted anonymizing networks can be subverted to reveal identities.
