Video Description

In December 2021, Russia launched an aggressive attack against the Tor network, and the Tor Project's censorship resistance methods, starting a years long arms race between the Russian federation and the Tor Project. This video not only covers Tor relays, bridges, and pluggable transports such as obfs4, snowflake, and meek, but also covers larger topics within online censorship, tracking, and surveillance. Whether you're a pen tester, security researcher, or cyber security expert, I hope you'll find this attack as fascinating as I did.
