@BenoitEsnard I've cracked hashes, but never as part of a challenge. The concept is the same, though, assuming the only rule is "get the input that creates this digest".
This is interesting. I actually proposed this concept in #tor on OFTC a few years ago.
The general idea is that website fingerprinting attacks cannot scale in the real internet, but when the classifiers are limited to analyzing a smaller set of samples (e.g. hidden services), the attack becomes more practical. It seems that the result of this paper is that it is practical to identify which connections are to hidden services, but not currently practical to identify them using WF attacks (at least with current classifiers).

I dunno about you, but I've been given answers that provide a link to "more information" that actually answers my question, despite skimming it and not realizing its value (not necessarily here on SE, but online in general).
dunno if people posted links like this. I certainly posted links like this, but more in a "here's all what you need and I'm too lazy to write a proper answer"-way
@TomK. oh yes, it pretty much was exactly that. If I was less lazy, I would have found one of the few other questions where it was already asked and answered years ago...
no worries @daya, my answer was not clear. We've all done that! Thanks @forest for clarifying.
Chinese police are forcing whole cities to install an Android spyware app Jingwang Weishi. They are stopping people in the street and detaining those who refuse to install it.
Knowing that I may be forced to install it sooner or later, what are my options to prepare against it?

@BenoitEsnard I think that's specific to various Muslim communities, but I totally understand. Many governments are horrible, and China's is certainly not exempt.
@TomK. Happens to me sometimes when the server for a small website I run (which is behind NAT) is down, but the gateway router is up.
