Tor-ramdisk 20091123 (i686) and 20091124 (MIPS) released
Hi everyone, I want to announce to the list that new rleases of tor-ramdisk are out. Tor-ramdisk is an i686 and MIPS uClibc-based micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. Security is enhenced by hardening the kernel and binaries, and privacy is enhanced by forcing logging to be off at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor configuration file and the private RSA key, which may be exported/imported by FTP. Changelog: These releases update tor to 0.2.1.20 and busybox to 1.15.2 on both architectures. Users are encouraged to upgrade since these updates address issues which may effect the memroy-restricted ramdisk environment. Nodes simba and mufasa have been running the i686 and MIPS versions for about one week in the wild. i686: Homepage: http://opensource.dyc.edu/tor-ramdisk Download: http://opensource.dyc.edu/tor-ramdisk-downloads MIPS: Homepage: http://opensource.dyc.edu/tor-mips-ramdisk Download: http://opensource.dyc.edu/tor-mips-ramdisk-downloads -- Anthony G.

livejournal ban tor-nodes

It is very important for residents of such countries because only such measures can support liberty of speach and privacy for their.

[Forwarding since this address isn't subscribed to the list.

Best, Jacob Very thanks Hello again, In summary: Mike Perry and I just had a visit to the San Francisco Livejournal office. The servers at LJ are currently being abused by two users in Russia. They are currently blocking access to all of the Tor exit nodes with a rather crufty (but effective) screen scrape of some Tor status page. They'd like to lift this ban and they'd like to see the abuse stop. They recognize that many legitimate users are now out in the cold and they'd like to allow Tor to access LJ. The service abusing their systems is http://lj2rss.net.ru/; lj2rss provides a user with an RSS feed of their LJ friends page (normally a paid service). LJ considers this abuse and has attempted to block this service. Lj2rss was previously run through basic HTTP proxies. It has apparently evolved as a service. The lj2rss people decided to ditch HTTP proxies for the public Tor network. This has caused LJ to filter _all_ access from the Tor network as a quick hack to block their service. LJ is unhappy with this as they realize this means that many people are not able to reach LJ. They want to find a solution to this total method of blocking. They only want to stop lj2rss and not everyone who actually needs Tor to legitimately use LJ. We've suggested that rather than outright blocking, users should be redirected (http 302 rather than 502) to a status page explaining the outage information. We've also suggested they can have user puzzles or require a specific login (paid accounts or flagged in some way). As far as I can tell, this is not a conspiracy by SUP or any other measure taken on behalf of SUP. The sysadmins at LJ are simply trying to combat someone abusing their service. LJ said that they're going to change their status page shortly to explain the block. They're also working on methods to block the lj2rss people and not every single user of the Tor network. I hope this is helpful and that the users of Tor will be able to access LJ services again shortly. Best, Jacob signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: AN idea of non-public exit-nodes
Interesting idea, but seems like it could be pretty dangerous. If an attacker was able to figure out the subset of Tor users taking advantage of these special exits and ran one themselves then correlation probably wouldn't be too difficult. In addition, abuse issues makes finding exit operators a lot harder than bridges so you probably wouldn't get the vast number of volunteers needed for the current bridge distribution tactics. -Damian On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 5:05 PM, Ted Smith ted...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, 2009-11-24 at 19:49 -0500, Roger Dingledine wrote: See especially point #1: even if we didn't tell clients about the list of relays directly, somebody could still make a lot of connections through Tor to a test site and build a list of the addresses they see.

Re: AN idea of non-public exit-nodes
I'm not sure that the correlation attacks for `bridge exits' are better than those for normal bridges. However, the `exit risk' would likely be more discouraging to such `bridge exits'. However, as a more general question, making the Tor network difficult to completely enumerate might be interesting. Clearly, there are valuable advantages to a hard-to-map network, but can it be done without gross disadvantages? 2009/11/24 Damian Johnson atag...@gmail.com Interesting idea, but seems like it could be pretty dangerous.

Danish TPB DNS Blocks
A number of Danish ISPs have blocked thepiratebay.org, by redirecting the DNS entry for that domain to a page stating that the site is blocked. This sometimes results in Danish exits giving this inappropriate result for that domain. Should the IP addresses of those ISPs be automatically given the badexit flag, since they don't do DNS in a correct and neutral way?

I thin that only an RSS feed of LJ friends pages is not a serious ground for blocking the Tor network. If they did such not by order of the SUP for protection of the Russian dictatorship I can't understand why the SUP by they 2 years ago. For latent shadowing against Russian oppositionists for the Federal security service of Russia? I was very sleepy when you wrote your letter (it was about 3 a.m at my place) and I coudn't recognize that I could try ask them a question concerning the next. By the information of Russian press (see, particularly http://www.newsru.com/russia/10nov2009/vkontakte.html ) the secret services of Russia arrested estimated murders of Markelov (many people in Russia think that they are not real murders because real economic base of Markelov's murder was deforestation of the Khimki forest against which Markelov fighted and any version about the revenge of nationalists have not under it real economic and money base and seems very absurd) through LJ activity of them. In accordance with this information they had access to the LJ not through the Tor but through the specific public wifi - so-called WIMAX, from account registered on assumed name. So, the Russian secret services had needed an information about ip-addresses of those users of the LJ for computing their through triangulation with beam gain antennas. So, we can suspect that those ip-addresses were given to Russian secret services by the SUP besides the official inquiry of Russian authorities to the US authorities (as I know there is not an agreement on mutual assistance in criminal matters between Russia and the USA). If it was really so, it was an obvious interference of Russian government in internal affairs of the USA in accordance with international law. I don't know about the US criminal law but such actions are examined as an espionage by the Russain Criminal Code. I think that the notion of an espionage is approximately equal in all countries. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksM2iUACgkQV59uvM2EEneqTQCgjZORDlYar+tyS6MVny5R3k1b lCQAn3TeFktNNqtPgijaM++CTZM5RR+4 =rY2h -END PGP SIGNATURE- *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
