#7193: Tor's sybil protection doesn't consider IPv6
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: asn | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.3.x-final
Component: Tor | Version:
Keywords: ipv6 tor-auth | Parent:
Points: | Actualpoints:
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Some bugs:
`get_possible_sybil_list()` doesn't consider IPv6 addresses at all.
`clear_status_flags_on_sybil()` doesn't clear `ipv6_addr` (and maybe more
flags).
Also, maybe we could add a `log_notice` or `log_info` to mention if and
which relays were found to be part of a Sybil attack.
Finally (and this is a minor bug), in `get_possible_sybil_list()` we
assume that `max_with_same_addr < max_with_same_addr_on_authority`, which
is true in the current tor network, but maybe it shouldn't be an inherent
property of the source code.
