This is the second time in a week now I've seen this guy talking about Tor on HN. He just seems to not understand Tor.
> He's exploiting a vulnerability in the Tor daemon
This is a vulnerability present in literally any proxy and is a limitation of the operating system. If you open more sockets than you can open, you can't open any more. You can not have anonymous unlinkable connections and have tracking psudeonyms together.
> The TorStatus page has no country associated with the ASN information
I know that for atlas.torproject.org we use the MaxMind GeoLite GeoIP service. If this is not listed here, no information will show. This is more common than you would think, especially for Tor relays which are commonly hosted on smaller ASs than MaxMind care about.
