Hi guys,
I had a thought about writing a small Tor exit node companion app.
This would be a single executable that does 2 things:
- Serve HTTP port 80 traffic on a specific host name and show the standard Tor web page for exit nodes - Serve port 25 (SMTP) and forwards abuse@mydomain.com to an address of your choosing
Bonus points would be to make sure the HTTP requests serve the latest version of the Tor disclaimer page (so it will automatically take the latest and periodically check that its the latest). It will then replace the various parts (email of the operator etc).
I can write it in Go so that its a single rather small executable so that the exit node will only need to run it instead of web server (nginx or something lighter) and an SMTP server (for those pesky automated posts that, like in the case of webiron, are also sent to abuse@mydomain.com based on the reserve DNS).
Do you think it would be useful? I would sure be happy to run as little processes as possible.
