The implementation is available at + + https://www.torproject.org/tordnsel/dist/ + +The design and its rationale are described in the Tor sources at + + /doc/contrib/torel-design.txt + +This document is an attempt to make sense of the exit list format that +TorDNSEL publishes without the original TorDNSEL author being around. + + +TorDNSEL publishes its exit test results in a single document with entries +using the following format. The document consists of an arbitrary number +of entries each consisting of four or more lines: (ExitNode | Published | +LastStatus | ExitAddress*)*. In the format below, keywords are written in +double quotes and spaces and newlines are explicitly marked as SP and NL: + + "ExitNode" SP fingerprint NL + + The identity of the relay in upper-case hex characters. This + fingerprint corresponds to the fingerprint in v2 and v3 network status + documents as specified in /doc/spec/dir-spec.txt in the Tor sources. + + "Published" SP YYYY-MM-DD SP HH:MM:SS NL + + The publication time, in UTC, of the most recent relay descriptor that + was known when the test was initiated. No further test is initiated + until the relay publishes a new descriptor. + + "LastStatus" SP YYYY-MM-DD SP HH:MM:SS NL + + The last time, in UTC, when the relay was seen in a v2 network status + document. A relay is discarded from the list if it was not seen in a + network status for at least 48 hours. + + "ExitAddress" SP address SP YYYY-MM-DD SP HH:MM:SS NL + + One or more test results for this relay consisting of the found exit + address and the time, in UTC, when the test was performed. A test is + discarded from the list if it is older than 48 hours. +
