Some people misuse the Tor network, sometimes on purpose or sometimes by lack of knowledge. For instance, Tor is sometimes used to conduct [[!wikipedia Ddos#Distributed_attack desc="DDoS attacks"]]. By doing this, the Tor relays are the ones who actually suffer from the attack, instead of the intended target.Some people use [[!wikipedia Peer_to_peer desc="peer-to-peer software"]] through Tor which is bad for the network.
