That's possible, but the blog never claims otherwise. In fact it says "There are lots of ways to de-anonymize Tor users" so I think it's unfair to say Bruce is making unsubstantiated claims.


When you say "de-anonymize a Tor user", the implicit but unambiguous meaning is that you attacked Tor, not found the information from somewhere else.

Just like when you say "a BMW driver crashed into a mall", you mean that they did it with their BMW, not with the Subaru that they also own.


The language in the blog post, "There are lots of ways to ..." is explicitly highlighting the ambiguity.


Yeah, maybe so. The linked slide does list "user error" as one of the angles.
