Tor Mirror Security
by Taylor Hornby 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hi, I just set up an experimental Tor mirror here: https://defuse.ca/tor-mirror/ (Please don't include it in any mirror lists yet.) I'm a little worried about security, though. The 'Configuring a Mirror' page [1] has me cloning the Tor website via rsync, which isn't a secure protocol. There are two specific risks here: 1. To the user of the mirror: A network attacker between my server and Tor could have replaced the Tor binaries with a malicious copy. 2. To the host of the mirror: A network attacker, or an evil sysadmin at Tor, could insert PHP scripts (or other things that Apache will execute) into my system, then execute by making a web request. I worked around (2) by adding "php_flag engine off" to the Directory entry in my Apache configuration, but I'm not certain that's good enough. Can the .htaccess in the Tor mirror override it? Are there other things that Apache will execute that I'm not aware of? To solve (1), how about letting users submit an SSH public key so they can rsync over SSH, or just have an account with a stupid password like "tormirror", then publish the SSH fingerprint on torproject.org? A Git repository with signed tags could be another solution. [1] https://www.torproject.org/docs/running-a-mirror.html.en Thanks, -- Taylor Hornby

ADD mirror tor-mirror-ssl.nicecon.org
by Darren Meyer 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Rsynced every 4 hours, should be HTTPS-only (HTTP redirects to HTTPS): https://tor-mirror-ssl.nicecon.org Intend to keep it available for as long as Tor is blocked in Turkey (or until Turkey blocks that site as well)

New Torproject Mirror
by info＠xn--externenprfung-nichtschler-7zcn.de 23 Mar '14

Hello everybody I'd like to introduce myself: My name's André Schulz and i'm currently hosting a mirror of the Tor website at http://tor.xn--externenprfung-nichtschler-7zcn.de/ and the dist is located at http://tor.xn--externenprfung-nichtschler-7zcn.de/dist/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Via the .htaccess-file I activated Directory Indexing so the dist directory can be seen in public. I didn't buy an SSL-Certificate yet, so i'm only hosting in http - not https. Further information and mirror details: | Country | Organisation | Status | ftp | http dist/ | http website | https dist/ | https website | rsync dist/ | rsync website | | DE | Externenprüfung Nichtschüler | Up to date | - | http [http://tor.xn--externenprfung-nichtschler-7zcn.de/dist/] | http [http://tor.xn--externenprfung-nichtschler-7zcn.de/] | - | - | - | - | To specify the "up do date": I let a cronjob execute an .sh-script every 4 hours so my mirror is synchronized with your primary server every 4 hours ^^ Greetings, André Schulz

Hello! I've set up a new Website Mirror following the instructions from https://www.torproject.org/docs/running-a-mirror.html.en at https://tor-anonymizer.maclemon.at/ Updates are done automatically every 6h via rsync as recommended. Is there anything else I should check, double check, do before submitting it to the official list of mirror servers? Best regards MacLemon

I have added the warning to the top of http://www.tailsgnulinux.org/ as requested.

I'm afraid people who are looking for Tails might mistakenly believe that tailsgnulinux.org is the real thing. Could you please add a visible warning on this website, that points users to our website?

On the Tor help desk, I often distribute mirror links to individuals who cannot access the tpo home page. I find that I usually only send links from mirror sites that use HTTPS with CA signed SSL certificiate. I find that if I send an email response linking to a mirror page that requires visitors to click through a warning, I often have to send an additional email later, expaining to the user that the site is not compromised, although all other times they see this warning in their browser, they should listen. I'm not sure if this applies to your mirror or not, but I do find that the mirrors I send individuals to the most are those with user-friendly HTTPS.
