07:28:33 <DataHoarder> jeffro256: I'm bringing up all this about unreduced scalars that could end up there as well akin to https://www.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."
07:29:15 <DataHoarder> happy with that, I guess :)
17:31:06 <br-m> <rucknium> I've put Shi, Zhang, Ge, Lan, Zhang, & Wang (2026) "Deanonymizing Monero Transactions in Tor Network." https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.07062 on this week's MRL meeting agenda.
17:32:30 <br-m> <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.
17:32:50 <br-m> <rucknium> It's OK if you're not able to.
17:36:26 <br-m> <rucknium> AFAIK one of the ingredients of their attack was eliminated by this PR: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/9632
17:36:26 <br-m> <rucknium> The PR was written after the release of an earlier version of the paper: https://moneroresearch.info/218 (Check the notes of the entry.)
17:39:51 <br-m> <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." https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.07062 on this week's MRL meeting agenda.
17:40:34 <br-m> <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
17:41:06 <br-m> <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.
17:43:50 <br-m> <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)
17:44:02 <br-m> <kiersten5821:matrix.org> was randomly forwarding received transactions over the anonymity network implemented? i thought it was not 
17:50:56 <br-m> <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?
