How is that any worse than adversaries correlating traffic between your
ISP and entry guards with traffic between exit nodes and destinations?

Tor is by definition vulnerable to such adversaries.

I've been thinking about testing such matters. What's the best
open-source software for traffic correlation? I've read just about all
of the relevant stuff on Free Haven, and haven't seen anything that's
actually usable without coding from basic principles. I've played with
dot products and rolling windows, but it's far too tedious and slow.
