Those will be built into the next release.

ENGINE_get_default_ECDx missing?

Seems these two OpenSSL functions: ENGINE_get_default_ECDSA() ENGINE_get_default_ECDH() have been dropped; in util/libeay32.num: ...

Does Orbot have a list of default built-in obfs4 bridges? Or do users fetch them dynamically? I looked in the source code and found default meek bridges but not default obfs4. I'm asking because we recently added a few new high-capacity default obfs4 bridges. https://bugs.torproject.org/18071 (1 bridge) https://bugs.torproject.org/18091 (2 bridges)

Revisiting Proposal 246: Merging Hidden Service Directories and Introduction Points
by George Kadianakis 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Hello there, we recently finished implementing proposal 250 which is one of the first steps for the upcoming hidden service redesign [1]. The next steps are implementing proposal 224 and the other performance and security proposals [2]. On this note, one of the open design issues that we need to tackle next is whether we should do proposal 246 or not. Proposal 246 merges HSDirs and Intro Points into a single entity to simplify the protocol and improve its performance. The idea is that HSes will pick their intro points using the hash ring algorithm currently used for picking HSDirs. Clients will do the same and connect directly to the intro points instead of going through the HSDir step. I suggest you read the proposal and the discussion thread to become better informed about this idea: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2015-July/009079.html Proposal 246 changes the hidden service protocol substantially, which is why we need to decide whether to do it soon. The next steps in our implementation plan heavily depend on whether we will do proposal 246 or not. Here are some issues that make this proposal not an obvious pick: 1) Security issues - Professor Hopper pointed out [3] that this proposal will double the number of introduction points of a hidden service (from the current 3 to 6). Introduction points have slightly more attack vectors than HSDirs, so we should not increase their number without analyzing further. That said we could potentially increase the number of intro points by doing proposal 246, and at the same time we could also increase their lifetime period to multiple days (instead of the current 18-24 hours lifetime), to keep the exposure of hidden services to an acceptable value. - It was also pointed out that the HSDir algorithm does not take into account the bandwidth of the nodes, making it easier to launch Sybil attacks. However, the rest of the the mailing list thread suggests various ways to do bandwidth weighted hash ring selections [4], so this might not be an important factor. 3) Load balancing issue - With proposal 246, the Tor network decides which relays will be used as the introduction points of a hidden service. A hidden service cannot pick its own introduction points, similarly to how currently a hidden service cannot pick its own HSDirs. This is a problem because it blocks load balancing solutions like onionbalance from working. Variants of the onionbalance logic can still work as suggested in the proposal [5], at the cost of increased engineering and sysadmin complexity. - Another concern here is that hidden services would not be able to change the number of their introduction points. This is not a big problem currently, but it could become in the future if the network gets more overloaded. As a partial solution to this, #17690 suggests making the number of HSDirs a network-wide consensus parameter that could also be used by proposal 246. 2) Reachability issue A final issue here is that if the relay churn of the network increases, the introduction point hash ring might be changing rapidly and clients might get pointed to the wrong introduction points. However, this does not seem like a greater problem than what hidden services are facing with HSDir reachability currently. Is this right, or does prop246 makes it worse? Personally, I'm not that concerned about the security issues I outlined above. I think the security difference will not be that great, and maybe we can equalize it by using some of the listed solutions. However, more thinking is required. I'm currently more concerned about the load balancing and reachability issues that I outlined above and maybe others that I forget. I would like to have more assurance that relay churn will not cause reachability issues to the proposal 246 system before we commit to it. Feedback is very welcome. Also please post any issues that I forgot to mention. We should try to figure out what to do here as soon as possible. If we fail to come to a conclusion here, our engineering plan is to ignore proposal 246 and continue with proposal 224 like it never happened. Of course this will suck if we later decide that proposal 246 was super important and should have happened. Cheers!

Always up-to-date HSTS preload list for Tor?
by Ivan Ristic 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Dear Tor developers, My SSL Labs server test has a feature where it checks for preloaded HSTS in Chrome, IE, Firefox, and Tor. You can see it near the bottom of this report, for example (under "HSTS Preloading"): https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=scotthelme.co.uk&s=107.170.2… For Tor, I download the preload list from this URL: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser.git/plain/security/manager/boot/s… That's the best I could find (when I originally implemented the feature), and I now see that the version number has advanced since. Which brings me to my question: is there a public URL that always contains the latest preload list? Thanks! -- Ivan

Upcoming Onionoo version 3.1 removes "family" field from details and stops returning code 500 when serving stale data
by Karsten Loesing 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Onionoo users, the upcoming Onionoo [0] version 3.1 will contain two minor changes that are worth announcing in advance: - Details documents will not contain a "family" field anymore but instead two fields "alleged_family" and "effective_family" which together contain the entries in the now removed "family" field. Clients that wish to continue using "family" field entries will need to switch to using the union of the other two fields instead. See #18026 [1] for details. - The Onionoo server will not return status code 500 anymore if its data gets more than 6 hours old but instead continue returning status code 200 with the somewhat stale data in the body. Clients that wish to keep the current behavior will need to check the "Last-Modified" header themselves and see if the contained timestamp is more than 6 hours old. See #16907 [2] for details. I'm planning to deploy version 3.1 in a week from now, by January 19, 2016. If you need to adjust your Onionoo client to these changes, please do that soon. All the best, Karsten [0] https://onionoo.torproject.org/protocol.html [1] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18026 [2] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/16907 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJWk3T4AAoJEJD5dJfVqbCrSEAH/3nAFXDEzRQn2FgCVMXNGHQ+ NnWNs+56ZPMWnTx3IynAy6QTsF0r8iQ3gdrhoKTjpgI0mcHgfQi1GlAcFfw/+lZ4 VU1kueZvgK4Eja36wzjh5d2W7CQLq/1muj7rWlFyaBESrnAfc0TmLhYC/Ou8hxcu UtmsJHIE6L4MvYtMNzLSUukU0MVKPOpaAhMJ0U144NdekcD9FP5oVvm6u7SmsOJO /0MFwFlaLOT5Hur6cDBgksbkAQt5sXVx5Qbnf5GY+i/Vv6X4ZIwneY2e/dAwQdBe VZUIhl1TGFmCEnt3nYFG6TzxS4IrzetO6/6de4VDRiIu9ukcseY3IJs8rkjQh6k= =pyyb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

How many exits exit from an IP address different than their OR address? (10.7%)
by David Fifield 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

I wanted to know how many exits exit from an address that is different from their OR address. The answer is about 10.7%, 109/1018 exits. The interesting part is that of those 109 mismatches, 87 have an exit address that differs from the OR address in all four octets; i.e., the IP addresses used by the exit are not even in the same /8. Also, there are several groups of exits whose OR addresses *are* in a related subnet, but which all exit through the same, unrelated, IP address. See for example 109.236.82.* (all exiting through 185.108.128.7), 178.17.171.* (all exiting through 37.48.65.71), and 217.23.11.* (all exiting through 85.17.31.120) in the table below. I wrote an exitmap module that hits an IP-checker website. The module wrote a CSV file where each row included the exit's OR address and the address as reported by the remote web site. I ignored IPv6 OR addresses. I did not find any fingerprint that had more than one IPv4 address (considering the .fingerprint and .or_addresses members from Stem). Percentages are just raw counts, not weighted by exit probability. Total number of exits: 1018 (100.0%) Number of failures: 18 (1.8%) Number of matches: 891 (87.5%) Total number of mismatches: 109 (10.7%) Number of 1-octet mismatches: 19 (1.9%) Number of 2-octet mismatches: 3 (0.3%) Number of 3-octet mismatches: 0 (0.0%) Number of 4-octet mismatches: 87 (8.5%) Table of mismatches * = mismatch 1 octet ** = mismatch 2 octets *** = mismatch 3 octets **** =

Re: [tor-dev] Comparing Stem, metrics-lib, and zoossh

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Philipp and iwakeh, hello list, Damian and I sat down yesterday at the dev meeting to talk about doing a comparison of the various descriptor-parsing libraries with respect to capabilities, run-time performance, memory usage, etc. We put together a list of things we'd like to compare and tests we'd like to run that we thought we'd want to share with you. Damian and I will both be working on these for metrics-lib for a short while and then switch to Stem. Please feel free to join us in these effort. The result is supposed to live on Stem's home page unless somebody comes up with a better place. Thanks!
