Query: One Bad Apple Spoils the Bunch: Exploiting P2P Applications to Trace and
  Profile Tor Users   Tor is a popular low-latency anonymity network. However, Tor does not protect
against the exploitation of an insecure application to reveal the IP address
of, or trace, a TCP stream. In addition, because of the linkability of Tor
streams sent together over a single circuit, tracing one stream sent over a
circuit traces them all. Surprisingly, it is unknown whether this linkability
allows in practice to trace a significant number of streams originating from
secure (i.e., proxied) applications. In this paper, we show that linkability
allows us to trace 193% of additional streams, including 27% of HTTP streams
possibly originating from "secure" browsers. In particular, we traced 9% of Tor
streams carried by our instrumented exit nodes. Using BitTorrent as the
insecure application, we design two attacks tracing BitTorrent users on Tor. We
run these attacks in the wild for 23 days and reveal 10,000 IP addresses of Tor
users. Using these IP addresses, we then profile not only the BitTorrent
downloads but also the websites visited per country of origin of Tor users. We
show that BitTorrent users on Tor are over-represented in some countries as
compared to BitTorrent users outside of Tor. By analyzing the type of content
downloaded, we then explain the observed behaviors by the higher concentration
of pornographic content downloaded at the scale of a country. Finally, we
present results suggesting the existence of an underground BitTorrent ecosystem
on Tor.
