My question is How do you know that most of the TOR nodes are fake?

its impossible to know that, which is why tor wouldn't be a reliable data source. someone could create 20 tor endpoints in front of a single node relatively easily

Ok. So why did you say it appears to be 2-3% instead of 20%?

i was quoting the guy who said that from the data he was collecting. it took me time to write my script to replicate his findings, which I am running now.

Oh, ok.

Are you crawling it yourself or using snapshots from bitnodes

crawling myself

Cool. I was going to do it but it will take like 40 hours.

What’s the ETA on yours?

300 nodes an hour =/ I could bump up the disconnect speed

I don’t know how fast your computer is or how your script works, I was skipping a node if not connected within 30 seconds and disconnecting after 1 minute, ETA 40hrs

going to look into creating a visualization of all of the nodes i collect grouped by AS.
