EFF has been working on one called HTTPS Everywhere:

https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/

There are some subtle issues around situations where a site
supports HTTPS for some resources but not others.  For example,
you can currently use

https://www.google.com/

for encrypted web search, but only the unencrypted form

http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en

for translation services.  As a result, HTTPS Everywhere has a
database of rules with exceptions, so that a rule can apply to
only a portion of a site.

This may not do exactly what you want because you might prefer
to block HTTP URLs entirely, rather than allowing them only if
no HTTPS equivalent exists.  You could probably achieve this in
HTTPS Everywhere by adding a local wildcard rule that matches
every HTTP site and redirects it to an intentionally broken
page, such as a URL within your local host.  The means of setting
up your own local rewrite rules are described at

https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/rulesets

 As noted previously:
1) Firefox should not be used without NoScript, and
2) NoScript allows the user to specify sites for which it will
   force the use of HTTPS.

 AFAIK, NoScript doesn't discriminate among individual pages, only
by host+domainname.  It does allow the use of wildcards in the names.

Orbot Transparent Proxy fails on Nexus One

2010-06-17 Thread Jason

All,

I have a rooted Nexus One running Android 2.2 (Froyo).  I installed Orbot, and 
gave it permission to run as root.  However, I've unable to get transparent 
proxying to work.  Neither Fennec nor the built-in browser get routed into it...

Has anyone encountered this?  I enabled transparent proxy, it comes up fine (or 
it says it does), and ... ?   http://check.torproject.org comes up right away 
and says no go.

thx,

Jason.

Try this greasemonkey script:  http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/72944 
(Forces SSL on specific websites, and you can adjust what websites too)

Re: Is JanusVM open source?

2010-06-17 Thread Kyle Williams
JanusVM uses open source software, but we didn't release the source because
it was built with mostly .dpkg's.
You have root by default on the console (inside the VM) if you want to look
into it or modify it to your needs.  Option 7 in the menu will drop you to a
shell.

The alternative would be Tor VM, which is open source. Project page can be
found @ http://www.torproject.org/torvm/
Build instructions and sources can be found @ http://www.janusvm.com/tor_vm/

Also, their will be an update in the up coming weeks for both JanusVM and
Tor VM.  Martin and I have both been busy with our day jobs and haven't had
much time to keep these projects maintained.

Thank you,

Kyle

SSL only firefox add-on?

2010-06-17 Thread judaiko judaiko
Let me say this first:

One company had a firewall that blocked all non SSL traffic.

So if you go https://mail.google.com and you sign in, it will stop you
at one URL which was not https.

I am not sure if Gmail still does this i.e. redirect you to non https
(http) url after login, and then again go into https mode when you
enter gmail.

So this firewall used to give error saying not allowed, but when you
changed it to https, the previous Gmail redirect url worked, and I
could login to Gmail.

Now is there an add-on that does this in Firefox?

Block ALL http traffic by default?

Then maybe like how Adblock plus is - "Disable on this page only"
allows http traffic only for that page?

attached you'll find the top 100 3rd level domain dns stats from the

Hi,

server4you is not a good provider for exit nodes. They take down servers
only because of spam abuses. :-(

My recommendation is: use an other provider soon as possible. Until you
can close your contract with server4you you may close ports for sending
mails (465 and 587). May be, it will help a little bit.

For your new server it may be the best choice to use a provider, who can
set the RIPE-DB entry of the IP address to your contact address.
(I was taught last time some provider offer this feature, but I have no
more informations at the moment.) All abuses will go directly to you and
not to your ISP. It is a very usefull feature for tor exit nodes. ;-)

Best regards
Karsten N.
