|
|
| In addition to using the previously described strategies, an agent could also reveal the identity of a alpha.c2.org-style pseudonym through a simple spam attack. By sending a large quantity of messages through the network to a given pseudonym, the agent would once again monitor the network, this time tracing the spam "lump" through the system. The information gleaned by the agent in the course of the processing of this "lump" by the network could be used to trace a given recipient. |
