You can mitigate the attacks described in the paper by running bitcoind with more lenient banning behavior. @p{par}

E.g. put this in your bitcoin.conf: @p{par}


Code:
bantime=11
 @p{brk}
... so if Tor peers sharing an IP address are banned, they are only banned for eleven seconds. @p{par}

If you want to live dangerously, you can also set: @p{par}


Code:
banscore=10000
 @p{brk}
... to make it a lot harder for an attacker to cause you to ban naughty IP addresses. But this might make it easier for an attacker to fill up your node's memory with garbage. @p{brk}
