It is really hard to believe that a malicious actor is throwing expensive tor 0-days at random onions.. or your website to "discuss geopolitics with friends" was a bit greater.
In both cases you could run a honeypot to catch 0-days.

The only reason I spotted it was because I was checking for compromise by comparing any file/process changes every few weeks.
It was a few years ago, my guess back then was tor is the honeypot, given what happened recently with encrochat I wouldnt be surprised if a few years down the line it turns out it was.
Or maybe I misconfigured the server, or maybe the binary I used for tor was compromised, it was as much a test for whether I could trust tor as anything else and it failed. delete, move on.
