Tor 0.1.2.4-alpha is out
This is the fourth development snapshot for the 0.1.2.x series. It fixes some bugs. The Windows and OS X bundles include the new Privoxy 3.0.6. http://tor.eff.org/download.html Changes in version 0.1.2.4-alpha - 2006-12-03 o Major features: - Add support for using natd; this allows FreeBSDs earlier than 5.1.2 to have ipfw send connections through Tor without using SOCKS. (Patch from Zajcev Evgeny with tweaks from tup.) o Minor features: - Make all connections to addresses of the form .noconnect immediately get closed. This lets application/controller combos successfully test whether they're talking to the same Tor by watching for STREAM events. - Make cross.sh cross-compilation script work even when autogen.sh hasn't been run. (Patch from Michael Mohr.) - Statistics dumped by -USR2 now include a breakdown of public key operations, for profiling. o Major bugfixes: - Fix a major leak when directory authorities parse their approved-routers list, a minor memory leak when we fail to pick an exit node, and a few rare leaks on errors. - Handle TransPort connections even when the server sends data before the client sends data. Previously, the connection would just hang until the client sent data. (Patch from tup based on patch from Zajcev Evgeny.) - Avoid assert failure when our cached-routers file is empty on startup. o Minor bugfixes: - Don't log spurious warnings when we see a circuit close reason we don't recognize; it's probably just from a newer version of Tor. - Have directory authorities allow larger amounts of drift in uptime without replacing the server descriptor: previously, a server that restarted every 30 minutes could have 48 interesting descriptors per day. - Start linking to the Tor specification and Tor reference manual correctly in the Windows installer. - Add Vidalia to the OS X uninstaller script, so when we uninstall Tor/Privoxy we also uninstall Vidalia. - Resume building on Irix64, and fix a lot of warnings from its MIPSpro C compiler. - Don't corrupt last_guessed_ip in router_new_address_suggestion() when we're running as a client. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Off Topic: Getting PGP and GnuPG Public Keys
I've noticed a fair number of list members use GnuPG or PGP and I got tired of manually trying to find a keyserver that had the poster's public key. I know they are supposed exchange keys, but this seems very hit or miss. So I wrote the little script below. It includes several (..) I hope someone finds this useful. Thanks. It was a tad long, but.. thanks. Nice list of keyservers. if gpg --keyserver tickets.rutgers.edu --recv-key $1 then echo tickets.rutgers.edu exit fi if gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key $1 then echo pgp.mit.edu exit fi if gpg --keyserver keyserver.veridis.com --recv-key $1 then echo keyserver.veridis.com exit fi if gpg --keyserver pgp.keyserver.ch --recv-key $1 then echo pgp.keyserver.ch exit fi if gpg --keyserver pgp.surfnet.nl --recv-key $1 then echo pgp.surfnet.nl exit fi if gpg --keyserver www.stinkfoot.org --recv-key $1 then echo www.stinkfoot.org exit fi if gpg --keyserver pgp.es.net --recv-key $1 then echo pgp.es.net exit fi if gpg --keyserver pgp.rediris.es --recv-key $1 then echo pgp.rediris.es exit fi if gpg --keyserver pgp.nic.ad.jp --recv-key $1 then echo pgp.nic.ad.jp exit fi if gpg --keyserver pgp.uk.demon.net --recv-key $1 then echo pgp.uk.demon.net exit fi if gpg --keyserver pgp.zdv.uni-mainz.de --recv-key $1 then echo pgp.zdv.uni-mainz.de exit fi if gpg --keyserver keyserver.linux.it --recv-key $1 then echo keyserver.linux.it exit fi if gpg --keyserver keys.iif.hu --recv-key $1 then echo keys.iif.hu exit fi if gpg --keyserver pgp.eteo.mondragon.edu --recv-key $1 then echo pgp.eteo.mondragon.edu exit fi echo exiting failure #!/bin/bash # # Thanks to George Shaffer # if [ $1 == ];then echo Enter a key as argument! exit 1 fi echo 'tickets.rutgers.edu tickets.rutgers.edu pgp.mit.edu keyserver.veridis.com pgp.keyserver.ch pgp.surfnet.nl www.stinkfoot.org pgp.es.net pgp.rediris.es pgp.nic.ad.jp pgp.uk.demon.net pgp.zdv.uni-mainz.de keyserver.linux.it keys.iif.hu pgp.eteo.mondragon.edu'|while read keyserver;do if gpg --keyserver $keyserver --recv-key $1 then echo Found key at $keyserver exit fi done pgpP3SNRLOnuu.pgp Description: PGP signature

Sorry, giving out lists of keyservers is usually just bad advice. Better tell people to use subkeys.pgp.net, or random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de. These are two rotations that include only servers that are known to properly handle PGP keys, including subkeys and attribute UIDs. All the keyserver marked as broken are known to either ignore keyupdates to certain keys, to only partially update keys, or even worse to mangle, i.e. add garbage to keys. Do not use them for anything. Only use subkeys.pgp.net or random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de and tell your friends the same. -- | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** Peter Palfrader | : :' : The universal http://www.palfrader.org/ | `. `' Operating System | `-http://www.debian.org/
looking for volunteers for practicing gnupg mail encryption
Hi !I was looking for volunteers for practicing gnupg mail encryption.I'm actually using thunderbird-enigmail and kgpg and i had some questions also , is anyone up for it ?
Re: looking for volunteers for practicing gnupg mail encryption
I can help a bit, though I'm not convinced that thunderbird is actually checking my signatures, so ph34r.
