Hi, I'm new to Tor controller,
Tor client usually open 3 circuits, one for current use and the other 2 for standby.
Tor will change the current circuit/path in use from time to time, depending on the network load dynamics
I'm wondering whether it is possible to use Tor controller to detect when the circuit/path in use is changed and obtain the list of IP addresses of those relay nodes.
thanks!

Hi esolve. I'm pretty sure that you'll simply want to write a script that listens for CIRC events... https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/control-spec.txt#l1232
The main controller libraries at present are...
- txtorcon (https://txtorcon.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) - controller library for twisted apps - stem (https://stem.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html) - general controller library that'll replace TorCtl - torctl (https://gitweb.torproject.org/pytorctl.git/) - the original and most stable controller library
If you want an example for using stem then I'd be happy to write you one later. Ravi and I are currently working to improve its event handling support so it's presently a bit rough for your use case, but still perfectly doable.
Cheers! -Damian

Specifically, try this example:
https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon/blob/master/examples/stream_circuit_logge...
You'll be interested in the last hop in the "path" attribute of Circuit objects. If you want to know which streams are exiting via which circuits, listen for STREAM events and look at the Circuit to which they're connected.

OK, thank you very much! besides, is it possible to get the cypher key for decoding the tcpdump captured packets on the TOR client??

oh, I don't understand this
what you mean is, for example, when browsing webpages
browser application sock Tor Ethernet interface
send packet ----------> forward -------------> encrypt and -----------------> send to the entry node
make tor cells
receive packet<--------- forward<-------------- decrypt tor cells <--------------- receive from the entry node
tcpdump -i eth0(this is my capturing)
but you mean I can capture between the browser application and the sock？
so I used tcpdump on the ethernet interface the packets are encrypted you mean I can capture the packets before

I don't follow, do you mean the traffic between tor and the first hop? Why not just intercept the communication with the socks port? _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev

Yes. capture on the lo interface, on whatever port your Tor SOCKS proxy is listening on.
