How can high availability help?

-In the above scenario if the onion service operator had setup a redundant, highly available server then connections would have been seamlessly sent to another server in the redundancy pool, thus preventing the adversary -from extracting location information based on their operation. This works best with a server in a different country or region, making a coordinated attack by several adversaries a requirement in order to use this method for deanonymization. - -

Adversary Attack Flow

-Below is a chart depicting an adversary attack flow. As shown, high availability will prevent the adversary from progressing beyond their initial step of uptime-based target acquisition. -

-As you can see the adversarie's playbook is quite simple: -

    -
  1. Identify a list of potential suspects
    2. -
  2. Cut them off the internet
    3. -
  3. Check whether this action made the hidden service unreachable

-Both of those are trival to obtain for LEOs (law enforcement officers). - -

-This Diagram shows where the attack takes place and how a redundant setup prevent such attacks from confirming the physical location of the hidden service. -

-In conclusion, your hidden service is one downtime away from having its location disclosed to an adversary, so you need to make sure it has High Availability -
