Tor exit node block Operators of Internet sites have the ability to prevent traffic from Tor exit nodes or to offer reduced functionality to Tor users. Murdoch has been working with and has been funded by Tor since 2006. This attack, however, fails to reveal the identity of the original user. Who would pay for this and be anonymous?' Furthermore, Egerstad is circumspect about the possible subversion of Tor by intelligence agencies: 'If you actually look in to where these Tor nodes are hosted and how big they are, some of these nodes cost thousands of dollars each month just to host because they're using lots of bandwidth, they're heavy-duty servers and so on. While this may not inherently breach the anonymity of the source, traffic intercepted in this way by self-selected third parties can expose information about the source in either or both of payload and protocol data.
As Tor cannot encrypt the traffic between an exit node and the target server, any exit node is in a position to capture traffic passing through it that does not use end-to-end encryption such as (SSL) or (TLS). Exit node eavesdropping In September 2007, Dan Egerstad, a Swedish security consultant, revealed he had intercepted usernames and passwords for e-mail accounts by operating and monitoring Tor exit nodes.
In this paper, they also improve latency by choosing shorter geographical paths between client and destination.
