A Survey of Privacy Infrastructures and Their Vulnerabilities
This survey addresses security concerns for users of privacy technologies, but it is incremental as it reviews existing vulnerabilities without introducing new solutions.
The paper analyzes various privacy infrastructures, such as anonymous networks and Tor, and their vulnerabilities, highlighting how cyber attackers exploit these for illegal activities like drug trafficking or DDoS attacks.
Over the last two decades, the scale and complexity of Anonymous networks and its associated technologies grows exponentially as privacy has become a major concern of individuals. Also, some cyber attackers make use of privacy infrastructures including botnets and Tor to do illegal activities like drug, contraband or DDoS attack. However, anonymous networks are not perfect, there are some methods could exploit the vulnerabilities and track user information. In this paper, we analyze few of privacy infrastructures and their vulnerabilities.
