GHOST: glibc gethostbyname buffer overflow
by goll 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Hello operators, If you have not done so already, update your glibc: "as a result, most stable and long-term-support distributions were left exposed (and still are): Debian 7 (wheezy), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 & 7, CentOS 6 & 7, Ubuntu 12.04, for example." http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/01/27/9 Best regards

could smoothing/smearing a consensus weights change makes sense
by Toralf Förster 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

I am wondering if an adversary would be able to derive useful information due to the fact that the consensus weights are changed abrupt ? (screen shot attached) -- Toralf pgp key: 7B1A 07F4 EC82 0F90 D4C2 8936 872A E508 0076 E94E

Average packaged cell fullness - decreasing recently
by Kees Goossens 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Dear all, According to the log file of freshhumbug, the average packaged cell fullness always decreases after restarting my relay. This seems to have initiated mid/late October 2014,:-before then the packaged cell fullness was more or less constant. Whatever the measure exactly means, this doesn’t seem right. Hibernation has no impact, i.e. the fullness decreases from before to after hibernation. Could anyone comment on whether this is true but not to worry, or true and to worry, or not true (and not worry)? Graph enclosed (start=23 July 2014, end=today, running more or less all the time, apart from a little hibernation), showing the Nth ‘Averaged packaged cell fullness’ message in the logfile on the X axis and its value on the Y axis. (i.e. X axis does not exactly represent 6 hour intervals due to occasional hibernation.) The steep increases coincide with restarting the relay. Thanks. Kees

uptime and connections for my middle node relay
by Malte Ketelsen 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hi, I am running a relay about 5-6 weeks. I have read the 'lifecycle-of-a-new-relay' and I am not over the 86 days, but I still wonder me, at most, I have only inbound connections. Sometimes outbound too, but rarely. Can someone tell me why? And I have another question: Can someone tell me how many hours a day uptime is minimum requirement for a standard middle relay? I have reed many posts, but there are not a exactly answer. Sorry for my english ... greets Malte

MiB/s / metrics

Hi, I opened a ticket recently with the intention to use a more common unit than MiB/s for metrics. Karsten basically agrees but is waiting for more input.

Mismatched fingerprints
by Patrick Scharmer 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hi, I’ve been running a bridge for over a year and noticed recently that the fingerprint shown in ARM (and that actually works when connecting to the bridge) differs from the fingerprint displayed for my bridge on both Atlas and Globe. Any thoughts on why this would happen and how to fix it? I’m assuming the fingerprint published on Atlas & Globe is the same fingerprint that will be distributed by bridges.torproject, is that correct? Apologies if this is a common question… I’ve only recently joined the mailing list and couldn’t find a way to search the archives other than browsing. Regards, -Pat

New Arris TG1672 Cable Modem, relay not reachable...help!
by Kurt Besig 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been running a middle relay for nine months with great success, however yesterday my ISP, TWC, upgraded my cable modem and everything went south. Then unfortunately there was a firmware upgrade for my Asus RT-N66U router. Perfect storm, now My relay is down, DirPort[80] and ORPort[443] unreachable. The new router admin interface looks like something written in Greek to me and although I've forwarded 443 and 80 there's still no joy. After almost a year of seamless connectivity I may have forgotten some important setup fact, but other than the modem and router firmware update my setup hasn't changed same computer, same Ubuntu LTS 14.04, same Tor 0.2.5.10... Anyone familiar with this Arris TG1672 modem, Assus' latest RT-N66U firmware 3.0.0.4.376.3754, or any general help would be most appreciated.. horizons3 My old IP:76.91.226.105 New IP:108.185.28.227 dhcp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUvDFDAAoJEJQqkaGlFNDPIroH/1iXuYVs/aktiL8OhsCoKUbd uarWayXPQSh6DXT+OMFSpy/qkE1kQVP3dNqwuaP9GVwxrJ7Qqr6Suhrmlak7Npel 6BvgQGcTwhsGGtI+KiS4IyVAjjkPcltXOyHCgOELeE8tBjyWsaYuoRJkI48CnZM9 GE+dWy2MXribEZ75IpCl3/qmE1vqdSU4LONtqfMNZ+buFkCp5BhQ5QkiRH+qpOBG tbEuV2CK+2smlWOnK84v0bqfgcj08iWGOOSMu3+Cwc+8j2XI4fi2qMfsbfrq9Qqp spwOhlTtafxJvgf57ul5gY5Vdo9HH5OtZYBwd+SjVGOE0f4qNgXjqRxostKRSmE= =XGLP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
