I posted back then that even simple netflow analysis by cooperated ISP's, tier-1's, etc could be used to match and discover endpoints. Then Tor/MPerry rolled out this padding. It has some level of benefit against some netflow analysis under certain use cases. As with other "Tor Stinks -- NSA", it doesn't defeat other more general powerful forms of end2end and or endpoints analysis, or cover other use cases. One general form of full chaff has been mentioned that might be able to do that, and even disable some active attacks that traffic analysis could pick up. It is yet unexplored whether that chaff could be done via the anti-netflow apparatus above. Tor Project sees full chaff as incompatible with their views of users needs and nodes, thus they will never implement it. Tor Project is already arbitrarily claiming bogus reasons to kill off users reasonable and rightfully self gauged tradeoffs made regarding their own free choice to use IPv6 and UDP applications across tor v2 onions using tor + onioncat, users will never be able to use those apps, including say voice/video chat, bittorrent, future protocols. Tor Project Inc and its minions prefer to silence, censor, kick, and ban independent voices than credit and or address critique. Tor Project Inc just censored at least two more messages in support of tor users in one week. Tor Project claims to be about anti-censorship, they are hypocrites, that is sad, and might likely end up being more than a bit dangerous to users. Tor Project gets paid $Millions of dollars to do these things.
