Testing a DNS-based exit node list?

2007-05-08 Thread tup

I've written another implementation of the DNS-based exit list for Tor
nodes specified in [1]. It provides some advantages over Joe Kowalski's
implementation [2] including active testing through exit nodes, lower
resource usage, and fewer dependencies. Unfortunately, to gain these
advantages it maintains more internal state and thus has a greater
potential for bugs.

You can find it here: http://p56soo2ibjkx23xo.onion/

It needs public testing before it can become official, so this message is
a request for somebody to set it up publicly. If you're comfortable
building a program written in Haskell using GHC on Unix and delegating a
DNS zone to an authoritative name server, you might be qualified to help
test this out. You should be willing to stick around and upgrade to newer
versions when they are released.

stunnel software

2007-05-08 Thread JT
Hi,

I had asked the mailing list earlier whether SSL was posing a
security/anonymity risk because Privoxy can not filter anything as it
doesn't see what passes through it.
I just came across stunnel. My understanding is that it can communicate
with a https server. Is that correct?
If yes, is it somehow possible to communicate with remote hosts that
support SSL through Tor?

Browser - privoxy - stunnel - tor network - https server ???

That way one could use end to end encryption but still have privoxy
filter it.
If it can not be done with stunnel is there any other way? I hope
somebody understands what I am after... :)

Hi,

I just found an example of what I was asking:

http://www.stunnel.org/examples/https_client.html

Would it be technically possible to make privoxy SSL capable with
stunnel, so that it can still filter browserbugs but also encrypt end to
end ?
I have no idea how much work this would be or if this is possible at all
but sounds like a good idea to me.

I think that they are going to sell vpn connection to their server which
routes traffic through Tor or through their own routers.

They are promising anonymous billing by using a third party to handle
billing.

Sounds a little sketchy to me.

 isn't TOR a volunteer effort?

 Are they using TOR and making $$'s off it?

They're perfectly entitled to. More power to their elbow. 

From what I understand of torrify though you are more or less back to trusting 
an 'anonymity provider', rather than trusting to the safety in numbers that 
characterizes the Tor network proper. And that seems a bit self-defeating.

Arrakis is they guy behind torrify and frequents this list. Arrakis, I take it 
the above is an unfair summary?

Re: Anonymizing Thunderbird News w/ Tor

Have you looked at JanusVM.  http://janusvm.peertech.org/

It's a transparent proxy for all TCP traffic, and routes it through Tor.
Should work for a news reader.
