There is an implementation of the Qiu/Gao AS Path inference algorithm here: https://github.com/swordqiu/ASPathInference some students in my graduate course were once able to use this for a class project.
However, we wanted to ask you whether you are aware of more work concerning our research direction. It seems to us that somebody should already have been interested in such a questions.
Since you are posting to tor-dev, you might already know, but the following papers have looked at AS-level adversaries in Tor, building some databases that might be useful as well:
