Fasttrack for Tor ?

2010-03-28 Thread Attac Heidenheim
Hallo,
I haven't found an Tor-option for faster Tor-connections for someone who
owns a Tor-router.
Wouldn't this be attractive for (potential) money\router-donors, if they
could choose for example one IP with a faster connection (although it
seems technically complex since there are different routers involved).

[I certainly don't want some kind of "premium-access", this would spoil
the Tor-idea].

Regards,
Niklas

Thanks for pointing this out. Clicking on it seems to work on some
distributions and not others, but ideally it will work on all systems.
I've given myself a feature request bug (#1332) and will fix this in a
future version.

I've updated this in svn as well to reflect the current status. I will
note here, as well, that if anyone wants to help do security auditing I
am all ears. I am specifically interested in finding traces left behind
on Linux systems and though I have done some preliminary auditing and
not been able to find much, I'm sure there are plenty of people out
there who can help. So if you're reading this now, please contact me. :)

No problem. Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

Thanks for mentioning this. I've updated this in svn and it will go out

Google Summer Of Code - Orbot

2010-03-28 Thread Kobe, Fan YANG
Hi every one,

Sorry to bother you guys in the mailing list. Can anyone tell me the
current status of Tor Android client Orbot and further development
plans? I'm an Android student developer with one year experience. I'm
currently working as an intern in a company designing a weightloss
robot based Android system. I'm very interested in this Android
client. Any info. or help will be appreciated!

Thank you very much.

Just to clarify,  you can leak DNS requests with a faulty setup
which _can_ be seen by your ISP.

Just wanted to point out that maybe the Tor volunteer page should be updated
to reflect the fact that this is a 'completed' project.  It's still listed
as a good coding project for Google's 2010 Summer of Code.  Maybe at the
very least change it to "working beta has been released" so that any
applicants considering it know what they'd be getting into.

Thanks for the Linux Browser Bundle goodness.

Tor Browser Bundle for GNU/Linux is now available for x86 and x86_64
architectures in 12 languages.

The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor without needing to install any
software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web
browser and is self-contained.

You can download it from the Tor Browser page which also has instructions about
how to extract and use it. http://www.torproject.org/torbrowser/


Hi,

Thanks for doing this.

The  fingerprints for your your signing keys seem to be missing from the 
"verifying signatures" page:


https://www.torproject.org/verifying-signatures

Also, on a minor housekeeping note, the link for "how to verify package 
signatures" on http://www.torproject.org/torbrowser/ points to an old 
page with a message that the page has moved.


Thanks again,

Jim

thanks for the reply,
what do you mean by using Tor correctly?

If Tor is not correctly used you can still leak information
regarding your identity. See this link on the main Tor page:
https://www.torproject.org/download.html.en#Warning


Since "he" in Marco's original post referred to the client's ISP, just 
to clarify, your ISP can't even see "leaked" data sent through Tor.  It 
would be encrypted before being sent through the Tor network.


I believe what you say is technically true but potentially misleading. 
The operative phrase in your statement is "'leaked' data sent through 
Tor".  Yet much of the potential for leaked data that is warned about in 
that link is *not* sent through Tor (as I understand it).  This is (part 
of) the hazard of using things like Flash, Java, PDF plugins, etc.  To 
the extent these extensions bypass Tor, then the ISP *will* be able to 
see the leaked data.


As always, if I misunderstand, I am willing to learn ...

Jim
