[tor-talk] Finding relay Sybils / Groups [re: relay_early/blackhat]

[Damian Johnson]

Hi grarpamp. Actually we do have a rudimentary Sybil checker and it
*did* pick up on those relays back in January...

https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-consensus-health/2014-January/003954.html

We had some internal discussions about them but the thread lost
momentum before they were flagged. This is a large part of the
motivation for why Philipp and I are taking over responsibility for
this...

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ReportingBadRelays

Previously it wasn't truly maintained by anyone so bad relay reports
got dropped on the floor.

Cheers! -Damian
