jeffro256: I'm bringing up all this about unreduced scalars that could end up there as well akin to moneroinflation.com/static/data_py/report_scalars_df.pdf (but at least I see we now have the comment on the unclamp flags of "This library does not allow unclamping the 255th bit."

happy with that, I guess :)

<rucknium> I've put Shi, Zhang, Ge, Lan, Zhang, & Wang (2026) "Deanonymizing Monero Transactions in Tor Network." arxiv.org/abs/2607.07062 on this week's MRL meeting agenda.

<rucknium> @jpk68:matrix.org: Could you read the paper and participate in the meeting discussion? You have been looking at Monero's I2P and Tor tx relay implementations.

<rucknium> It's OK if you're not able to.

<rucknium> AFAIK one of the ingredients of their attack was eliminated by this PR: monero-project/monero #9632

<rucknium> The PR was written after the release of an earlier version of the paper: moneroresearch.info/218 (Check the notes of the entry.)

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> the paper states that it needs to be the guard node to find the IP, which is well known and not specific to monero, so step 3 is not relevant > <@rucknium> I've put Shi, Zhang, Ge, Lan, Zhang, & Wang (2026) "Deanonymizing Monero Transactions in Tor Network." arxiv.org/abs/2607.07062 on this week's MRL meeting agenda.

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> anyone can find out who you are if they control your guard and the service you visit regardless of if it's a website or a node or a rest api

<rucknium> I agree with you that step 3 is the least plausible part of their attack. But there are some interesting things in other parts of the paper.

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> (i don't have any comments on step 1 or 2 which appear to be classifying the type of the user's node and finding ways to have user nodes connect almost exclusively to the adversary nodes)

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> was randomly forwarding received transactions over the anonymity network implemented? i thought it was not

<jpk68:matrix.org> Yes, I can try and do that. Though I am far from the most qualified person to talk about this ;) > <@rucknium> @jpk68:matrix.org: Could you read the paper and participate in the meeting discussion? You have been looking at Monero's I2P and Tor tx relay implementations.
