What was the maximum capacity over the entire attack?

Even if you held majority for just an hour, it seems you could still build a useful database of identities and their usage. I was trying to imagine how much just an hour Tor snapshot might be worth to somebody.

Maybe? Or no?

According to EFF analyst @evacide, they had about 3,000 nodes or 0.27% of the network. https://twitter.com/evacide/status/548640012925812736

No, for two reasons. 1) new relays are capped at a low bandwidth for the first few days and 2) relays cannot become guard nodes (and therefore cannot identify real users' IPs) until they have been stable for at least 8 days
