The behavior of ClientRejectInternalAddresses
by Jesse V 26 Mar '17

26 Mar '17

Hi everyone, I would like some clarification on ClientRejectInternalAddresses. The manual says: > "If true, Tor does not try to fulfill requests to connect to an internal address (like 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.1) unless a exit node is specifically requested (for example, via a .exit hostname, or a controller request). (Default: 1) In other words, if I disable this flag and I open 127.0.0.1:8080 in the Tor Browser, will the browser or the tor binary attempt to connect to the client's 127.0.0.1:8080? This is essentially what I'm after, and I just want to confirm that ClientRejectInternalAddresses is the best approach, or if there is a better setting. Just to clarify, I want to connect the client's localhost and not an exit's. -- Jesse

One Valid Next-Generation Onion Address per Private Key
by teor 26 Mar '17

26 Mar '17

Hi all, Most onion service users expect that there is only one valid onion address for their private key. (For example, one address is listed in SSL certificates.) I spoke with Ian, and he said that as part of validating the onion address, we should check if it is a valid point. He said we need to multiply the point by L, and make sure there's no torsion component (that is, that the result is the identity). This avoids the complexity of choosing a canonical point using some lexicographic order, or the complexity of using something like decaf. (Hopefully, Ian will write back if I transcribed things incorrectly.)

Make Tor Browser Faster GSOC Project

Hi Kartikey, For Tor, the best place to discuss this is on the tor-dev mailing list, which I've included. You should susbcribe and we can talk about this there. As I understand it, student selections have not been made for GSOC yet, so please don't take this as a guarantee that you'll be able to be funded to work on this. Anyway, the topic on the website is a bit ambiguous, so I've attempted to flesh out the project more here: https://storm.torproject.org/shared/URdVCz8eCbBfQzYwG3gaR-KuCvMTIS3zU7emq3A… I'd welcome input from the rest of the tor community on this as well. -tom

OnionGatherer: evaluating status of hidden services
by Massimo La Morgia 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Dear members of the Tor community, we are a research group at Sapienza University, Rome, Italy. We do research on distributed systems, Tor, and the Dark Web. As part of our work, we have developed OnionGatherer, a service that gives up-to-date information about Dark Web hidden services to Tor users. OnionGatherer is implemented as a Google Chrome extension coupled with a back-end service running on our servers. As the user surfes the Web, OnionGatherer collects all the URLs from the page and adds a green bullet next ot the URL if the hidden service is up and running, an orange one if the system are currently evaluating the address' status or a red one if the hidden service is down. The status of the hidden services is pulled from our servers, which keep track of all the services found by the users and constantly monitor their status. When a new hidden service is found, OnionGatherer checks its status in real time, informs the user accordingly, and adds it to the database. We believe that OnionGatherer can be very useful to Tor users that are interested in surfing the Dark Web. Indeed, hidden services are born and shut down very frequently, and it is often time consuming and frustrating to check manually which services are still active. We kindky ask if you can help disseminate our project ---the largest is the number of users of OnionGatherer, the largest the database and the best the service we can provide. Currently the software is in Beta version and released on GitHub at the following link: client: https://github.com/rfidlabsapienza/onionGatherer-ChromeExtension server: https://github.com/rfidlabsapienza/onionGatherer-Server Any feedback or issue are really appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best regards, The research group: A. Mei, J. Stefa, M. La Morgia, S. Raponi

Open tickets
by Karsten Loesing 13 Mar '17

Hi everyone, I'm working on some statistics on open tickets of the metrics team in preparation of the Amsterdam meeting, and as part of that I made the following graph on open Trac tickets for all components (except Archived/*): https://people.torproject.org/~karsten/volatile/open-tickets.pdf Not sure if this graph is useful for anybody else. But if it is, is there a way to make it even more useful? And just in case this is useful, here's the graphed data: https://people.torproject.org/~karsten/volatile/open-tickets.csv All the best, Karsten

GSoC 2017 Project Idea
by Sakchham Sharma 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Greetings Tor Community, I am Sakchham Sharma a CS Undergrad student, I intend to participate in GSoC 2017 and contribute to the Tor Project. The Tor Project as so now is quite well known among the people with a technical background, but however, the people who don't belong to this category have little or no idea about Tor, they are perhaps the people that would benefit the most from Tor. So in order to help people better understand about Tor, that how it is different from their VPN or Proxy service, I intend to an UI Redesign of the Orbot app for android, as of now it has a minimalistic UI and several UI glitches, an UI that also gives the users a subtle idea as to how tor works with be informative and should help more people know more about Tor, I would be grateful if I could get suggestions/improvements on the above idea. Thank you. <https://mailtrack.io/> Sent with Mailtrack <https://mailtrack.io/install?source=signature&lang=en&referral=sakchhams@gm…>
