Has the storm passed?
by Ana Lucia Cortez 16 Jan '18

About 36 hours ago I tentatively disabled all my firewall rules who where limiting connections to my relay. Everything looks pretty normal, I see no spikes, no errors, no failures. > Jan 15 10:18:36 Tor-relay: > Heartbeat: > Tor's uptime is 4 days 18:00 hours, > with 36,596 circuits open. > I've sent 4,962.80 GB > and received 4,935.38 GB. > Circuit handshake stats since last time: > 244,441 / 244,441 TAP, > 10,558,601 / 10,558,601 NTor. > Since startup, > we have initiated > 0 v1 connections, > 0 v2 connections, > 2 v3 connections, and > 71,189 v4 connections; > and received > 1 v1 connections, > 31,976 v2 connections, > 53,960 v3 connections, and > 755,679 v4 connections.

could Tor devs provide an update on DOS attacks?
by starlight.2017q4＠binnacle.cx 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

I realize we're in the middle of the Christmas / New Year dead week, but it would be great one of the developers could says something (anything) about the ongoing denial-of-service attacks. My node crashed a second time a fews days back, and while the second iteration of hardening appears have held, I see many others crack under the stress. If one opens a control channel and issues setevents extended orconn volumes of 650 ORCONN ... LAUNCHED ID=nnnn 650 ORCONN ... FAILED REASON=CONNECTREFUSED NCIRCS=x ID=nnnn messages appear. First I though these were operators with some new mitigation, but finally realized the relays are crashed and have not yet dropped off the consensus.

When is 0.3.2.9 available to download?
by Gary Smith 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi, Firstly, on 9th of this month, tor 0.3.2.9 was released, I was wondering when it is available the official repos via apt-get? I'd rather not compile from source because its on a its on a pi and will takes ages and I will be effectively loosing auto-updates for tor. I have been testing the 0.3.2.8-alpha in a VM for a while and I am looking forward to using the new stable release. Confusingly, https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html reports that the latest stable version number (0.3.2.9) is greater than the alpha (0.3.2.8-rc) am I missing something? Secondly, I think the "Raspbian is not Debian" warning should be removed from https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en which while technically true gives users a false impression as tor will indeed work fine on a Raspberry Pi 2 / 3 (armhf not armel like Pi 1). Thanks.

Combined relay and hidden service, good idea or not?
by tortilla＠mantablue.com 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

When operating a hidden service and a relay in one tor instance, tor currently warns: [warn] Tor is currently configured as a relay and a hidden service. That's not very secure: you should probably run your hidden service in a separate Tor process, at least -- see https://trac.torproject.org/8742 First, that issue has been fixed and closed. Second, I had read in the past opinions stating: When operating a hidden service, running a relay helps mix traffic so that anyone observing traffic from the machine cannot easily run an analysis targeted at a hidden service that might exist on that machine. The text of the startup warning seems to contradict that belief. Is there more to know, or is the warning only applicable to the now-closed information leak? Can someone kindly clarify the current best practice in this regard and address whether or not that warning should be removed from tor's startup diagnostics?

Re: [tor-relays] Marker branch for current tor release(s)
by Chad MILLER 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

I second this. There's a recommended-versions list in the consensus, but you have to already have Tor available and running to get it. Maybe also publish in a DNS TXT record or something? On Jan 5, 2018 00:48, "Andreas Krey" <a.krey(a)gmx.de> wrote: Hi everybody, https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en in the source code 'tab' states the current stable and alpha version of tor. Would it be possible to publish the current states as branches 'stable' and 'alpha' (or 'testing', or 'unstable') in the git repo? That would help us tor-from-source builders to just fetch the repo, and if the respective branch changes, to rebuild and redeploy. Looking for a new release tag or screen-scraping said web page is a bit hairy, and feels unnecessary. - Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words."

Question: systematic hacking on my social media accounts
by Paul Templeton 14 Jan '18

14 Jan '18

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem over the last week. I have had attempts (one successful) on my social media accounts. Just found it strange that it was more than one. They got into my Facebook page (Haven't used it for years) - Seems that they got access via really old personal questions that family have provided them via their online posts - ie happy birthday now that you are this old... and hows your dog m#### doing and my mum listing her maiden name etc. I can't get it through to people to stop them from having public profiles... SIGH. Mean while they have to put up with girly pics or unfriend me as i'm not interested in the account. A lesson for all. Paul 609662E824251C283164243846C035C803940378
