Apologies for the email about Sugarcube
by Sriakhil Gogineni 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Hello all, I'm very sorry about an email that went out yesterday that some of you received. It was only supposed to go to my contacts, around 2000 people. I exported my contacts and removed all mailing lists from the pool but it seems some people who were cc'd on threads got added in. It seems I have deeply offended about a dozen of you and for that I'm sorry. I know how precious inbox sanity is and I did not intend to spam anyone -- this email was only supposed to go to family and friends. Rest assured there is no 'list' and you will not be receiving any future email from me regarding Sugarcube. Best, Sri

I'm not sure which AMI I should choose for > Obfsproxy Bridges. Correct. For a shared obfsproxy bridge in São Paulo use AMI ID ami-69d30974. For a private obfsproxy bridge in Singapore use AMI ID ami-601c5332. You can find this information on https://cloud.torproject.org/#get_started. > From what I can see, once I've chosen the correct AMI it should be very easy > to finish the configuration. It is, but please remember to open the right ports in the firewall before booting the instances.

You should be able to change the location with a drop-down menu somewhere. -- Runa A.

And for a whole lot more than just Tor nodes. But keep in mind that Chinese people like to do things in a tricky way. They might say not censored network but they didn't say they're not monitoring it. The gov has said that they will be strict on "ideology" in any situation. I did hear about someone in "a famous Finnish mobile phone company which will belong to a US operating system making company" said they can access facebook directly but I haven't got a chance to see whether they are using an enterprise level VPN or uncensored network. > > -- > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > PGP Fingerprint : > 7770 D186 A06E A329 2217 > 3161 63EB F269 37B8 8644 > > http://pastebin.com/8W8vyNjb > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > "...

Building on a Udoo Dual
by Richard Budd 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Does anyone know if the Tor Project has sources for top that can be compiled on a Udoo Dual? It's running Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) on a ARMv7 processor. I've tried following the instructions on https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian, but I get an Err http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/ experimental-oneiric/main tor 0.2.4.17-rc-1~oneiric+1 (dsc) 404 Not Found [IP: 38.229.72.14 80] error when trying to run the "sudo apt-get source tor" command. I had no problem compiling on a Raspberry Pi, but of course this is a different animal. Thanks, Richard

I really have nothing to back this up but I would *think* that additional services on the same IP might mask the bridge from / confuse some active/reactive probing based bridge disovery attacks. Then again, if active probing is usually only done on a particular (ip, port) pair (the one that someone in China is connecting to, for example), then there's probably no difference anyway.

Running random web services on a bridge-server?
by Martin Kepplinger 16 Nov '13

16 Nov '13

Hi, Sorry for being lazy, I'm not sure if I can figure it enirely out myself: Is there _any_ implication on the status of a bridge in the Tor network when I run random web services like an open website, xmpp server, whatever, on the same device/IP? It'll somehow be more exposed that way but I'd be happy on any opinion. I guess probability that someone finds out that there is a bridge behind my IP is rising. thanks, martin
