    "Research undertaken between 2008 and 2014 suggests that more than 81%
     of Tor clients can be 'de-anonymised' - their originating IP addresses
     revealed - by exploiting the 'Netflow' technology that Cisco has built
     into its router protocols, and similar traffic analysis software
     running by default in the hardware of other manufacturers."
