The video tutorial explains the end-to-end correlation attack in the Tor network, highlighting how attackers can correlate traffic from the entry node to the exit node to identify users. It discusses the Tor network's topology, emphasizing the roles of entry and exit nodes. The tutorial stresses the importance of encryption, recommending HTTPS or SSL to secure communications. Despite these measures, Tor remains vulnerable due to the potential for traffic analysis and confirmation attacks. The video also introduces the tagging attack, where attackers modify initial connections to trace users. Developers acknowledge these vulnerabilities, noting that Tor cannot fully protect against traffic confirmation.

What is the primary vulnerability in the Tor network that allows end-to-end correlation attacks?

• Encrypted communication between entry and exit nodes

• Unencrypted communication between the exit node and the Internet

• Lack of random path selection

• Insecure entry node connections

Why is it recommended to use HTTPS or SSL when making requests through Tor?

• To speed up the connection

• To ensure the entire communication is encrypted

• To bypass the entry node

• To reduce data usage

What is a key limitation of Tor in preventing end-to-end correlation attacks?

• Inability to encrypt data

• Dependence on volunteer-managed nodes

• Inability to protect against traffic confirmation

• Lack of entry node security

What is the tagging attack in the context of Tor?

• An attack that modifies the initial connection to track it

• An attack that speeds up data transmission

• An attack that encrypts the exit node communication

• An attack that bypasses the entry node

How can attackers use the tagging attack to identify users?

• By bypassing the entry node

• By encrypting the data

• By checking for modifications at the exit node

• By modifying the exit node
