Tor's Map of the Internet
The area of each website corresponds to the amout of traffic received from the Tor network.
"Who uses Tor? Just Criminals?"
I have supported the Tor project for years and recently a friend challenged if I should.
This map is the result of my friend's challenge.
Q&A
How was this data collected?
Domain lookups were recorded from several exit relays for a couple months.
Isn't it against the spirit of Tor to record connection data?
Kinda, but only domain lookups were recorded which my ISP probably already does :(
How accurate is the data you collected?
It's sampled from only a few exit relays, and DNS data isn't exactly clean. It's a rough estimate.
Wait! What about hidden services? That area of the map is all foggy!
Yea, I don't know of a way to collect usage info on hidden services :)
Where can I get the full size image and/or a print?
