Incognito, in this context, is the subject of this thread that you are participating in: http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Sep-2007/threads.html#00037 Thank you, Roger. I'll take a look shortly. People who are rude have to be extra-careful to be both correct and useful; otherwise they just contribute to the problem. :( The rudeness has been discussed before, namely, the laziness of some people on the list to post followups in the normally accepted format, which preserves a sequential record of previous information. Top-posting destroys that record's time sequence and makes it difficult for readers joining a thread to follow what has been going on. Another rudeness exhibited on this list is completely omitting the record completely when following up (not applicable in the instant case, of course, because you've included the parts to which you were responding). That some readers dislike both the inconvenience and the rudeness involved in causing the inconvenience may be expressed bluntly with cause. As to whether user support for Incognito is on-topic for or-talk, let's find out whether Pat wants to deal with it here, and whether it's one user per month or hundreds. I interpreted the content of the original message in the thread as being a question regarding driver support for a particular, though unidentified, graphics card under X11 running on a LINUX system. Incognito appeared to be only an application whose request to X11 had failed due to X11's, or perhaps the LINUX kernel's, failure to provide service to the graphics card. It did not appear, from the few messages included in the original posting, to be related to any problem with Incognito itself. FWIW, I use FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE with X.org 6.9 and on occasion (grimacing with distaste) Windows XP w/SP2. My graphics card is a Mobility Radeon 9800 which apparently has the mobile version of the R420 chip. AFAIK, all Radeon cards have support under X.org as VESA devices, which can be used as a last resort. Radeon cards with model numbers above 9200 (R200-series GPUs) generally have only 2-D acceleration using the radeon driver, though there is apparently some experimental support for 3-D acceleration available for a few old models with numbers slightly higher than 9200 (R300-series). So I use the radeon driver and get 2-D acceleration and 3-D support via the Pentium IV. To get this support under either LINUX or FreeBSD, the kernel must be generated with the correct kernel driver, which the fglrx LINUX driver from ATi also requires, and with the X11 driver (either radeon or fglrx) configured in xorg.conf (or the equivalent for XFree86). Thus was the provenance of my diagnostic questions for the OP and the author of the first followup. I've been around some of these blocks already and might well be able to help, but the or-talk list really doesn't seem to be the place to proceed with that. Scott Bennett, Comm.

As noted previously, the few messages you posted before showed the problem to be one of X11, and possibly LINUX kernel, support for your graphics card, rather than of Incognito. So, please, let's take this off the list to private email. If your ATi card is only a year old and is not of an old model (e.g., Radeon 9200), then the support you'll get with the native drivers is quite limited, but is available and does work. The recent R500- series-based cards are, AFAIK, only supported as VESA devices. The R500-series core is apparently unrelated to the earlier, R100-R40 series of cores, and thus the open source community has not yet devised an appropriate driver. Thanks to ATi's intransigence in refusing to provide information to the open source developers, we still don't have open-source support for hardware 3-D acceleration for chips that are now over three years old, much less for the newer hardware. the fglrx driver also shouldnt be the problem, because i have ubuntu installed on a partition on my harddrive, and it works correctly You haven't yet posted the configuration file or any of the other stuff we would need to know whether you even have the fglrx driver installed, much less are using it. You may be using it with just the VESA support. Here's the list of cards that the native radeon driver recognizes as of X.org 6.9, though the more recent ones do not have support for 3-D hardware acceleration. I haven't messed with 7.x yet, but am told that no new Radeon support was added during the X.org reorganization that occurred with 7.x.

Incognito CD with QEMU support - request testing
Incognito is a live CD/USB that uses Tor to anonymously use the Internet. See details at http://www.patdouble.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=blogsectionid=3Itemid=6 for details. I've added support to Incognito for booting the CD in a Windows session using QEMU. This is to address the problem when a public computer disables booting from removable media. I am limited in testing this so I would appreciate feedback. If you insert the CD it should auto-run if you have this enabled, otherwise double-click the CD icon or execute run.bat. Note this will work with Windows 2000/XP or greater. I am looking into how to make it work with USB, but for me the vvfat is broken (i.e. qemu -hda fat://./d:), so until I figure that out USB support won't work :( http://files1.cjb.net/incognito/incognito-i686-trunk.iso Signature: http://files1.cjb.net/incognito/incognito-i686-trunk.iso.asc -- Pat Double, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ye must be born again. - John 3:7 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: end-to-end encryption question
On Thu, Sep 13, 2007 at 12:07:08PM -0400, Nick Mathewson wrote: In http://tor.eff.org/docs/tor-doc-server.html.en it says, 14. If your Tor server provides other services on the same IP address--such as a public webserver--make sure that connections to the webserver ae allowed from the local host, too. You need to allow these connections because Tor clients will detect that your Tor server is the safest way to reach that webserver, and always build a circuit that ends at your server. If you don't want to allow the connections, you must explicitly reject them in your exit policy. I have a few questions about the above text. a) Who translates the destination address to 127.0.0.1? Is it the tor client? Or is it the exit server? Nobody is supposed to translate the destination address to 127.0.0.1... Oh! I see what went wrong here. The local host is not the same as localhost, but the instructions should be a lot more clear about that point. Actually, this isn't true. The local host in this text is the same as localhost. It is 127.0.0.1. The paragraph quoted above is about publicly visible webservers: Suppose for example that you have a webserver running at IP 1.2.3.4. Suppose that there is also a Tor exit at 1.2.3.4. If your webserver is configured to reject requests from 127.0.0.1, that's fine. If your webserver is configured to reject requests from 1.2.3.4, that's no good. If your webserver rejects requests from 127.0.0.1, that's bad, and it will break people trying to reach your website from your Tor server. The reason for this is that many modern OSes look at the destination (1.2.3.4), realize they've got a better route for that, and decide to route it via 127.0.0.1. (This might not be true for your favorite OS -- I'm not sure which OSes have this behavior -- but in practice it's true for enough of them that many people run into it.) b) If I have ExitPolicyRejectPrivate 1 in my torrc, does that prevent such end-to-end encryption? No, because Tor looks at the address (1.2.3.4) and your exit policy is fine with it. It's only later, in the OS, that it gets switched over. If not, then does an ExitPolicy reject *:* at the end of my exit policy list count as explicitly rejecting such connections? Yes, because then your exit policy rejects 1.2.3.4, and Tor clients won't try to use you to exit to it. d) If normal connections to directory servers are unencrypted at any point along the way, what is the procedure to get them to be encrypted from end to end? AllDirActionsPrivate, I believe. Right, but note that you're going to have to bootstrap your first set of directory information somehow. There is no simple procedure currently, since we haven't seen the need for it yet. Hope that helps, --Roger
