Counter-RAPTOR - Safeguarding Tor Against Active Routing Attacks

The course aims to teach learners how to safeguard the Tor network against active routing attacks, specifically focusing on mitigating and detecting RAPTOR attacks. The skills taught include conducting a measurement study on Tor network resilience, implementing a Tor guard relay selection algorithm, and building a live BGP monitoring system for real-time detection of routing anomalies. The teaching method involves lectures on topics such as Anonymity, Correlation Analysis, and Performance Evaluation. This course is intended for individuals interested in network security, particularly those concerned with protecting the anonymity of Tor users against network-level adversaries.
