Excited to see what kind of agents can be built given an execution framework.

Re:Keystroke timing obfuscation added to SSH(1) on Tuesday August 29, 2023 @06:44PM (#37315126)
A paper came out recently that uses keystroke timings+deep learning to fingerprint users (and authenticate them in this case): https://www.usenix.org/system/files/usenixsecurity23-piet.pd...

In this specific paper's use case, it's not a security threat, but you can definitely cast it as information leakage.

A system cannot switch the service type to "prevent DDoS from spoofed IP packets" though.

The authors are not arguing against packet switching; they're questioning whether point-to-point still applies when a majority of the Internet is used for accessing content. CDNs aren't cheap, a content-centric network (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_data_networking) could substantially increase efficiency.
