So they put up a fake network, 'hacked' most of the nodes, and with complete

vulnerabilities in the TOR network. They performed an inventory of the
network, finding 6,000 machines, many of whose IPs are accessible publicly
and directly with the system’s source code. They demonstrated that it is
possible to take control of the network and read all the messages that
circulate.
