Ongoing denial of service attack against Tor relays by leased botnet in America and PRC (Nobistech, Datashack, Limestone, HE, Pegtech, WholeSale Interent, and Psychz VPS nodes, etc)

Up front, I am not a conspiracy theorist. New to the list, I run a Tor exit node from my small cable modem connection in Honolulu, as well as for a short time on a few on VPS's to prove to myself that it wasn't "just me." Over the last several weeks, I have collected substantial evidence indicating that a botnet is degrading the Tor anonymity network in its entirety via a sustained denial of service attack. I believe it is made to blend in with all the other crazy packets that an exit node generates, but it is pretty easy to spot if you just look at the RST's or drops coming off your node, all from a static unused destination port. If you change the IP address of your node, it will take about 90 minutes before they identify your IP and you start getting attacked again. I will submit to you the headers of a few hundred packets, and the full list of perps involved in separate emails because of the size thing. Do a whois lookup on a few of those VPS IP addresses and you will see the country involved. Here are the last few hundred packet headers showing the two bigger ISP's. Wasn't able to show perp list since first two messages held for the moderator because of the size. Wondering what other folks are seeing with their relays.

Is my relay fine?
by Brandon Steele 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

This is my first time sending in a question in this mailing list about my relay. Here's the link to it: http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=c6528e10911ec94cc85430e9… I realize some of the router flags are checked. I just want someone to check it quickly to make sure that everything is all right. Thanks!

port setup
by Art 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

I have a Westell A90-750018-07 router and I need to set up port forwarding for port 9001 and 9030. My router won't let me do it however, saying: *Invalid End Port value of NULL Please enter a valid number* when I attempt to do so. I entered 9001 in the *Global PortStart *box and**the other empty boxes on the setup page are *Global PortEnd *and *Base HostPort.* What values do I put in the Global PortEnd and Base HostPort boxes????* * TIA.

Does obfsproxy advertise ?
by Exocet Tor Node 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hello all. Beside my relay, I'm also operating a bridge on another server. I've recently installed obfsproxy, mainly for test purpose. The obfs2 service is successfully registered (per log message) but, as of today, I've never received any connection on it (iptables rule show no packet to the dedicated port). The service is running for more than 2 weeks now. My question is : does obfsproxy advertise like the regular bridge service ? Best regards.

DMCA letters
by jvoss＠altsci.com 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi all, I've been running a Tor exit node on my new server for 16 days. Today I received my second automated DMCA infringement notice from HBO. I sent them the boilerplate you see at the bottom of the message both times. My colo provider Hurricane Electric understands Tor, which is awesome. I don't think it'll be an issue, so I'm happy with this. I'm wondering if anyone receives a large number of DMCA infringement notices and whether there was a resolution. It would certainly make my life a little bit more difficult to send more than one of these per week. When I got my first letter I was pushing 5 Mbps (megabits) and now I'm pushing 9 Mbps. I've set the RelayBandwidthRate to 5120 KB which should give a max rate of 41 Mbps. If infringement notices increases linearly with traffic, this could become an issue. I'm happy to share the infringement notices if anyone is interested. I followed a few of the tips from https://blog.torproject.org/running-exit-node , I got a separate IP address and I reduced the exit policy. I plan to update the reverse dns. I don't feel like reducing the exit policy does anything because BitTorrent was designed to run on any high port. Also, reducing the exit policy blocks researchers who are doing port scans and header grabbing over Tor. That's a point of contention for me because I know legitimate researchers use Tor for that purpose. Does anyone have any data or anecdotes on how exit policy affects malicious use of Tor vs legitimate use of Tor? Btw, my server is 216.218.134.12. I'm running a patched version of tor 0.2.3.25 which fixes a few bugs I found in buffer events. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/7788 for more info. Uptime is now 6 days, 13 days without a crash. Thanks, Javantea ------------------- Dear Andrew Martin: The IP address in question is a Tor exit node. https://www.torproject.org/overview.html There is little we can do to trace this matter further. As can be seen from the overview page, the Tor network is designed to make tracing of users impossible. The Tor network is run by some 2500 volunteers who use the free software provided by the Tor Project to run Tor routers. Client connections are routed through multiple relays, and are multiplexed together on the connections between relays. The system does not record logs of client connections or previous hops. This is because the Tor network is a censorship resistance, privacy, and anonymity system used by whistle blowers, journalists, Chinese dissidents skirting the Great Firewall, abuse victims, stalker targets, the US military, and law enforcement, just to name a few. See https://www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en for more info. Unfortunately, some people misuse the network. However, compared to the rate of legitimate use (the IP address in question processes approximately 11 megabits of traffic per second), abuse complaints are rare. https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en This is the second e-mail from you that I am replying to. The only thing that has changed is that I have increased the bandwidth to 9 megabits per second. If you have further questions, feel free to contact me at ------------ Sincerely, -----------

ORPort NoListen
by Sina Eetezadi 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi! I want to have port 443 advertised but listen on port 9001. My router then forwards 443->9001 to the machine tor is running on. It works with this: ORport 433 ORListenAddress 0.0.0.0:9001 However I thought this is deprecated and I rather use: ORport 443 NoListen ORPort 0.0.0.0:9001 NoAdvertise The latter however does not seem to work. Arm for example still errors "binding failed" and I see no incoming connections. Is this a bug? Thanks. SE

So, some hours ago I noticed a circuit on the network map consisting of a relay in my own country, another one 11,000 km away, and - surprise - my own bridge relay. Can this be so? I thought that bridges, though published, are anonymous. My TBB configuration seems fine, it's what I've used in previous implementations. The only difference I've written into torrc for this run is SocksPort auto. The bandwidth rates seeming way higher than should be allotted to my bridge (10485760 & 5242880, rather than the 196608 & 98304 of previous runs), I checked my bandwidth-limit setting and found that I had inadvertently chosen > 1.5 Mpbs instead of 1.5 Mpbs (but as I'd noted to myself previously, the higher setting doesn't seem to matter, except maybe to improve performance a bit). The relays_ published output is as usual (not that I'd be likely to recognize anything amiss in that report). One other thing that may be pertinent and which I've wanted to ask about for a long time is this: I occasionally for convenience run my open browser from the same vista machine on which I'm running the TBB at the same time. Is this bad practice, and could it have been the reason that the bridge nickname showed in the network map? - eli gpg: 0xE498E90D

DynDNS and TOR bridge
by Sina Eetezadi 06 Mar '13

Hi, I have a bridge running and since my ISP is changing my IP at least daily, I thought it might be a good idea to set my DynDNS in the torrc file. Is it a good idea? How do I set that? Thank you. Sina

Recommended specifications for 1Gbps exit
by Matt Joyce 05 Mar '13

I am wondering if anyone with experience in this area could advise me some on recommended specifications for a 1Gbps exit I think my latest once needs a package upgrade to handle it, currently seems stuck at around 100Mbps worth of traffic. Currently it has access to 3 v cores @1.33Ghz and 1GB of RAM and I think the latter might be becoming the limit instead now I had thought it was the CPU when it had just the one core but that alone hasn't helped. I am not entirely sure if tor is infact using the other cores though watching with top it is sitting at 100 or a fraction over like 104% or so. MaxCPU's is set in torrc to 4 as the OS sees 4 virtual cores but is capped to 300% by the hypervisor perhaps it should be set to 3 not sure if there is any benefit in setting to 4 I have limited experience with virtual servers but unfortunately a fully dedicated server for tor is financially out of my budget at the moment. Also, just to confirm while I'm aware it's very possible that the limitation could be bandwidth given it shares with the other VPS'es on the host I don't believe that was the case, I pulled a backup from there to another server of mine on a different AS and continent and it transferred at 250Mbps while tor was running at 100Mbps the entire time, so unless the contention is over the download which seems less likely for a server I think we should be able to get a good 300Mbps of exit capacity out of this possibly more. So can anyone can advise on recommended CPU, RAM have to consider budget but will try and meet them, also if there are any settings I should check in torrc?
