Hi everyone! We have heard from web server operators who are wondering how many of their visitors are using Tor to do so.
We can now answer this question. We have an exit list archive back to February 2010 and a tool to compare an Apache HTTP server log to these lists. We can further guess how many of the requests come from Torbutton users by looking at the user-agent string. There's a lot of sensitive data involved here, which is why we give out the archived exit lists and our tool so that web server operators can run the comparison themselves. You'll find the exit list archive and the VisiTor tool here: https://metrics.torproject.org/data.html#exitlist https://metrics.torproject.org/tools.html#visitor If you are running a web server and want to help us make the tool better, please download the sources, review the 300+ lines of finest Java*, run the tool on your machine, and let us know how that works! Thanks, --Karsten *There will be a Python version once we're happy with the Java version. Want to help writing (and maintaining) a Python version? *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
