Many SSH requests
by Cristiano Kubiaki Gomes 03 Apr '21

03 Apr '21

Hi there, O noticed many ssh requests to my Debian VM running a Relay and I am wondering if this is normal or if this is happening only with me. Anyone else see this ssh attemptives? Is it normal? sshd[27004]: Failed password for root from 45.91.226.235 port 41012 ssh2 sshd[27004]: Received disconnect from 45.91.226.235 port 41012:11: Bye Bye [preauth] sshd[27004]: Disconnected from authenticating user root 45.91.226.235 port 41012 [preauth] sshd[27006]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=108.36.253.227 user=root It's many different ips and trying to access in many different ports. Thank you!

syn flood iptables rule
by Toralf Förster 02 Apr '21

02 Apr '21

The following 3 statements # Make sure NEW incoming tcp connections are SYN packets; otherwise we need to drop them. $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp ! --syn -m state --state NEW -j DROP # DDoS $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m recent --name synflood --set $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m recent --name synflood --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 10 -j DROP seems to work and to help here ata fast Tor relay. CPU went down from 109% to 95%. There're 500 connections less than before for a Tor fast relay. The /proc/net/xt_recent/synflood is quickly filled. Unfortunately I cannot change the "ip_list_tot" of "xt_recent" b/c I do use a non-modular kernel. Does anybody knows a circumvention? Are there any objections against this approach? -- Toralf

Hey, I'm having a little problem with setting up (my be some rights...) the html page on the relay DIRPort. On my logs : 00:00:03 [NOTICE] Tor 0.4.5.7 opening new log file. 00:00:03 [WARN] Could not open "/var/www/html/tor-relay.html": Permission denied 00:00:03 [WARN] DirPortFrontPage file '/var/www/html/tor-relay.html' not found. Continuing anyway. I've not found any information about how to set up this correctly. Many thanks in advance.

ipv6 ORPort + DIRPort too ?
by Petrusko 01 Apr '21

01 Apr '21

Hey, I've set up a new relay, available with ipv4 and ipv6. And I'm not sure if I can serve DIRPort on the ipv6 too ? In the torrc file, I've config : ORPort 9001 ORPort [xxxx:xxxx:xxx:x:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxx]:9001 DIRPort 9030 Is it allowed to add something like this, to advertise on ipv6 too ?? : DIRPort [xxxx:xxxx:xxx:x:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxx]:9030 Thank you all !

Help with FreeBSD relays
by xplato 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Greetings, I am a bit of a noob here so please bear with me. I ran a relay using Ubuntu with very few issues however I decide to add an additional relay and decided to use FreeBSD. They will only run for around 18 hours and then they shut down. I have adjust the torrc file every way I know how and increased the Max vnodes thinking this may have been my issue. I can post the sysrc and torrc if needed. Anyone that might help me figure this out I would be grateful otherwise I am going to reluctantly move them both back to Ubuntu. Thanks, Dan Sent from ProtonMail for iOS

relay impersonation (contactinfo)
by nusenu 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Hi, I'd like to raise your awareness of an ongoing scheme of questionable entities that make use of your name or relay contactinfo and/or relay nicknames. Those using other people's relay _nicknames_ got and get spotted by multiple people already and are somewhat obvious (at least for now), but I'd like to highlight those using familiar names in contactInfo that are likely less frequently uncovered because people lookup their relays by searching for their relay nicknames (and not so often by searching their contactinfo). So here are two practical things that you can do to help uncover more of them: - list your relay fingerprints under the well-known tor-relay URI: https://<your domain>/.well-known/tor-relay/rsa-fingerprint.txt and add "url:<your domain> proof:uri-rsa ciissversion:2" to your ContactInfo to allow for automated linkability verification. This protects your relays against spoofing of the url field. A domain is not required: You can use github-pages or similar if you do not have a domain. more details: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/blob/master/proposals/326-… https://nusenu.github.io/ContactInfo-Information-Sharing-Specification/ Thanks to the 291 relays, that allow for automated verification already. Verifiable relay groups also get graphs on OrNetStats, for an example see: https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/artikel10.org.html - search for your names/nicknames/org names/... in the ContactInfo field. On Relay Search you can do so using "contact:searchstring" Be creative in your search terms. This even makes sense if you do not run relays at all but your name is somewhat known in this context. kind regards, nusenu -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: tor relays rosiwig429(at)lidte(dot)com Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2021 23:55:01 > 2021-03-29 > > | Up | Ext | JoinTime | IP | AS | CC | ORp | Dirp | OS | Version | Nickname | eFamMembers | FP | > |------+-------+------------+----------------+------------------------------------------+------+-------+--------+-------+-----------+------------------+---------------+------------------------------------------| > | 1 | 1 | 06:25:11 | 103.82.32.14 | CMC Telecom Infrastructure Company | vn | 9001 | 9030 | Linux | 0.4.5.7 | coffswifi5 | 1 | B8D95BB1AAFB6F234EC50A100F46E4CC8E8E90FB | > | 1 | 1 | 07:34:40 | 78.138.135.110 | Ojsc oao Tattelecom | ru | 9001 | 9030 | Linux | 0.4.5.7 | artikel5ev3b2 | 1 | 771C9BC56DF4B29BA97CAA9387FB1FC140CFE3E3 | > | 1 | 1 | 13:43:04 | 103.56.156.143 | VNPT Corp | vn | 9001 | 9030 | Linux | 0.4.5.7 | CalyxInstitute18 | 1 | 04998AB63A49C4A0B5A5CD2994D95D098D2B5399 | > | 1 | 1 | 14:28:18 | 77.245.158.134 | Niobe Bilisim Teknolojileri Yazilim San. | tr | 9001 | 9030 | Linux | 0.4.5.7 | Merlin2 | 1 | B4285A497939D190739C976B947053D6CC0AE07C |
