Exploiting P2P Applications to Trace and Profile Tor Users
http://j.mp/huF4Wf (Usenix [PDF]) [may trigger cert mismatch warning]
In this paper, we show that linkability allows us to trace 193%

originating from "secure" browsers. In particular, we traced 9%
of all Tor streams carried by our instrumented exit nodes.
