Website Fingerprinting at Internet Scale

Andriy Panchenko, Fabian Lanze, Andreas Zinnen, Martin Henze, Jan Pennekamp, Klaus Wehrle and Thomas Engel · ndss-symposium.org

A local passive eavesdropper on a Tor connection identifies which page a user is loading purely from packet sizes and directions, using a cumulative trace representation fed to an SVM that beats prior classifiers at a fraction of the cost. Evaluated on 300,000 webpages, it also shows no existing method holds up at true Internet scale.
