I'm Running A Tor Exit But Never Initiated It
According to files and folders I have on two separate computers in my house, I am running a Tor exit but I absolutely have nothing to do with it. I am only able to physically view certain files ie; var/log/tor, etc/tor/torrc, while other files like var/lib/tor/lock the content is invisible. I am MORE than willing to talk to anyone who may be able to help.
Hey percy, I can't image a single reason why Tor should be configured to run a relay without the system admins knowledge. Are there any other useres with root access at those machines? You could issue "(sudo) ls -al" on that folder to find out when the Tor configs were created. Are there any other settings set in your torrc? I'm not quite sure but this could be a "good" crypto locker too. Best regards, KRutt Percy Blakeney:

There is NO ONE else in this house that uses my computers other than my 13 year old daughter who plays Minecraft on hers. I have one Dell desktop that runs Linux Mint Rosa, however, sometimes when I turn it on a black screen appears with a message stating "VirtualBox restarting." Neither my child nor myself installed VirtualBox on the desktop. I also have an Acer laptop that runs Linux Mint Mate and a Lenovo that runs Windows 10. When I try to install the Tor browser on my Acer it tells me I already have it and it's running, however when I try to open it I'm told I don't have it. Yet my folders and files tell me otherwise. I have so much to get out that once again I'll apologize for my ADD responses. On Sun, May 29, 2016 at 11:23 AM, krutt@anche.no <krutt@anche.no> wrote:

Try to check if your computers have a virus or sth else, there is no other explanation of what is happening in your house. If I was you, I would do a full backup and then format all of my computers.. On Sun, May 29, 2016 at 7:16 PM, Percy Blakeney <di99in5@gmail.com> wrote:

I have. Late September 2015 I took my desktop to one repair shop (NEVER GEEK SQUAD) and took my laptop and flashdrive with Linux on it to a different repair shop. I was asked by both repairmen if someone had a vendetta against me because they had never seen anything like it. Both HDDs were partitioned. I had to have brand new HDD replacement on both computers. As for the flashdrive the repairman told me he saw nothing out of the ordinary. I don't want to do anything to them now because I need someone who knows what they're looking at to see things for themselves.

Hey there, This situation sounds really weird. Could you try running sudo cat /var/lib/tor/fingerprint on one of your Tor-machines? Then we can determine whether you are really running an exit relay. As Arjen stated before, you can probably remove the Tor package with sudo apt-get install tor Best regards, KRutt Percy Blakeney:

Debian did this - I'm not sure if it does that any more. `apt-get install tor` used to run an exit relay unless you uncomment "ExitPolicy reject *:*" in torrc. I had the same problem a few years ago, suddenly captchas started appearing everywhere after installing tor.

This bug is not present in current and recent versions of Debian.

Do you mean this bug in Tor 0.1.0 which was fixed in 2005? -------------- begin quote from the Debian changelog -------------- tor (0.1.0.11-1) unstable; urgency=high * New upstream version (closes: #316753): - Fixes a serious bug: servers now honor their exit policies - In 0.1.0.x only clients enforced them so far. 0.0.9.x is not affected. * Build depend on libevent-dev >= 1.1. * Urgency high because 0.0.9.10-1 did not make it into testing after like 3 weeks because of an impending ftp-master move. So I might just as well upload this one. -- Peter Palfrader <weasel@debian.org> Mon, 4 Jul 2005 17:53:48 +0200 -------------- end quote from the Debian changelog -------------- Cheers, Christian -- Christian Pietsch · volunteering for Digitalcourage e.V.

It was 2-3 years ago. I did not report it so maybe it went unnoticed.
