Script for starting private Tor networks

[Adam Langley]

http://www.imperialviolet.org/binary/make-private-tor-network.py

It follows the steps at
http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#OwnTorNetwork
but it's a lot quicker than doing it by hand for many nodes.


usage: make-private-tor-network.py [options]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b BINARY, --tor-binary=BINARY
                        location of the tor binary
  -n BASENAME, --base-name=BASENAME
                        base name of the directories and nicknames of the
                        nodes
  --base-port=BASEPORT  lower most port number to start assigning from
  -d NUM_DIRSERVERS, --num-dirservers=NUM_DIRSERVERS
                        number of dirservers
  -o NUM_NODES, --num-nodes=NUM_NODES
                        number of non-dirserver nodes
  -e EXTRACONFIG, --extra-config=EXTRACONFIG
                        location of a file which is appended onto the
                        generated configs
  -p BASEPATH, --path=BASEPATH
                        the path in which to create the directories


The output is a script to start the network which can either be put in
a file or pasted into the console:
% python make-private-tor-network.py -b ./tor -e extra-config -o 10 -d 2
./tor -f ./nodeD0/torrc &  # or: 3000, dir: 3001, socks: 3002
./tor -f ./nodeD1/torrc &  # or: 3003, dir: 3004, socks: 3005
./tor -f ./nodeN2/torrc &  # or: 3006, dir: 3007, socks: 3008
./tor -f ./nodeN3/torrc &  # or: 3009, dir: 3010, socks: 3011
./tor -f ./nodeN4/torrc &  # or: 3012, dir: 3013, socks: 3014
./tor -f ./nodeN5/torrc &  # or: 3015, dir: 3016, socks: 3017
./tor -f ./nodeN6/torrc &  # or: 3018, dir: 3019, socks: 3020
./tor -f ./nodeN7/torrc &  # or: 3021, dir: 3022, socks: 3023
./tor -f ./nodeN8/torrc &  # or: 3024, dir: 3025, socks: 3026
./tor -f ./nodeN9/torrc &  # or: 3027, dir: 3028, socks: 3029
./tor -f ./nodeN10/torrc &  # or: 3030, dir: 3031, socks: 3032
./tor -f ./nodeN11/torrc &  # or: 3033, dir: 3034, socks: 3035
