New SSL keys for new OpenSSL version?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Tor! I run an internal Tor relay on Debian Wheezy. Today the OpenSSL version was updated to 1.0.1e-2+deb7u11 . Do I need to delete the old SSL keys like after the Heartbleed bug?

Ansible repo for setting up relays
by Sam Kottler 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Alexander's email about the Puppet module he's putting together has reminded me to send a mail about an ansible repository I use to manage my relays. https://github.com/skottler/tor-ansible is where it lives. Unlike the puppet module, I'm working on getting a whole environment deployment put together. Ultimately (when I get some time) I'll have it stand up all the necessary pieces to securely run (i.e. ssh configuration, user setup, etc) a relay. For now it just installs Tor. Let me know if you've got any questions. Pull requests are all welcome, of course! -s

Hash of session info was not as expected
by Logforme 14 Jun '14

14 Jun '14

My tor log file is usually quite boring but today it looks like this: Jun 14 13:42:46.000 [warn] Hash of session info was not as expected. Jun 14 13:57:56.000 [warn] Hash of session info was not as expected. Jun 14 14:11:58.000 [warn] Hash of session info was not as expected. A new line about every 10 minutes since 04:14:53 (CET) Is it a user with problems, an attack on my relay or a sign that my relay have some kind of hardware/software issues?

Sinkhole IPs to block for Cryptolocker and Gameover Zeus
by Adam Brenner 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

As you know, the Tor network can be used for mischievous and in some countries illegal activity hurting the reputation of Tor. Two of these activities include Cryptolocker[1] and Gameover Zeus[2]. Recently my exit node was inserted into a few block lists due to this two issues mentioned above and I would guess this hinders 'good' traffic within the Tor network using an exit node. I have complied a list of Sinkholes from CBL for both Cryptolocker and Gameover Zeus. Consider adding these IPs to your ExitPolicy reject list. ExitPolicy reject 85.159.211.119 # Cryptolocker ExitPolicy reject 212.71.250.4 # Cryptolocker ExitPolicy reject 54.83.43.69 # Cryptolocker ExitPolicy reject 192.42.116.41 # Cryptolocker ExitPolicy reject 192.42.119.41 # Cryptolocker ExitPolicy reject 198.98.103.253 # Cryptolocker ExitPolicy reject 208.64.121.161 # Cryptolocker ExitPolicy reject 142.0.36.234 # Cryptolocker ExitPolicy reject 173.193.197.194 # Cryptolocker [1]: http://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA13-309A [2]: https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA14-150A -- Adam Brenner <adam(a)aeb.io>

Exit policies pointing to IP blocks not appearing on Globe
by Mendelson Gusmão 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Hi! I just setup a tor relay, encouraged by EFF's Tor Challenge. All I have is a domestic connection. I've read my TOS and my ISP seems to be very friendly to this case. Although I have a little suspicion about traffic shaping, my exit node seems to be running very well! I'm worried about one thing, though. I remember that a while ago, when I tried to access Facebook using a tor client, I saw a message telling that I was blocked for using the network. To avoid the other users of my network to be blocked due to the traffic in my exit node, I managed to add exit policies rejecting every IP block that belongs to Facebook. However, these exit policies don't appear in neither globe.torproject.com nor any site that provides information about nodes. Are these addresses being scrubbed? How do I make sure that these policies being applied? Thanks!

Running relays at consortia networks [was: JANET/edu]

Has anyone tried approaching these networks themselves to see about running relays there? Their bandwidth for sponsored things is often free. In the US you might try internet2.edu and all its various connecting regional networks. On a second further approach, once all the risks and pro-reasons have been discussed and accepted, the consortia backing of many Uni's within would be bulletproof.

suspicious exit?
by JB 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi All, FP! :) I just setup my relay node today, and am keeping a hawkish(ish) eye on traffic.... And noticed a flurry of activity from SSH port (22) at 5.104.224.5 - which is listed as an exit. But it's also listed on http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=5.104.224.5 as infected (or NATting for a computer that is infected) with the Conficker botnet. I've black-holed it in the meantime, but am wondering if I'm being overly cautious... Any advice/response/input appreciated. TIA Jeff.

Unblocking blacklisted exits [was: suspicious]
by grarpamp 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

> But it's also listed on http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=5.104.224.5 as If you find exits on blacklists, you could try to contact the operator via their descriptor contact, exit http banner, etc so that they can try to have it removed. Usually a few clicks on an assertion of ownership/cleanliness and an email ack is all that's needed for removal. Since ownership of IP's is always in flux from perspective of BL's such that any 'real' owner could always do it too, absent exit contact info, many users could probably submit removal for them without issues. There's a project covering this on the wiki: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/projects/DontBlockMe

Tor bridges with AWS
by CD 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

I've signed up to AWS with Tor's instructions for bridges. I've intalled Tor on my PC. Wondering how to proceed. Am obviously an illiterate newbie, so any links for a basic knowledge-base would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
