Re: mac and tor with little snitch

2010-07-20 Thread Darren Thurston

Normally LittleSnitch will stop and throw up an alert for tor traffic. Which 
you can allow as per any normal connection.

By a "global proxy" setting do you mean you have used the Proxy setting in 
/System Preferences/Network/  ?


Cheers,

You're welcome to try to make the application. Perhaps what you're
running into is the system proxy settings and apps that honor those
settings versus apps that have their own proxy settings and ignore the
system settings.

If I understand what litte snitch does, this behavior should be
expected.  Little Snitch is just ipfw configuration, I think.  If you
use tor, little snitch/ipfw won't see the traffic as it's being
tunnelled through Tor.

Re: Tor 0.2.2.14-alpha is out

2010-07-20 Thread Xinwen Fu
Sorry. Here is a clarification: our http and email bots "worked" well. We
have stopped those bots for quite a while and have no plan to make them run
again. I also realized email distribution is necessary for some people. So a
challenge-response mechanism can be necessary too against bots. However, the
challenge-response mechanism should be able to tell bots from humans.
Otherwise, the bots can still send email, read email and analyze the email
for bridges.

We have implemented the http and email bots, which are working well without
much human labor work.

I'd recommend CATCHA to be implemented on the bridge http server. The email
server should have at least a challenge-response mechanism. However, this
challenge-response mechanism helps only a little bit. Maybe we should not
have the email distribution mechanism if decent CATCHA is used on the http
server?

I don't want to get into the intricacies of interface design, and ableism,
but some points of note:
-blind people are not normal: they suffer from a disability that
differentiates them from others in terms of what they can do;
-the blind are hard to cater for with WIMP-type computer interfaces;
adapting interfaces for the blind is often a subsidiary - and difficult -
 task to basic interface design;
-most good CAPTCHAs like (reCAPTCHA) already incorporate accommodations for
blind users;

I agree that it's important to design computer systems and interfaces such
that they're accessible to those with disabilities. However, this should not
be at the expense of the system's core functionality: we should not allow
the great to be the enemy of the good. In this specific case, the point is
probably moot.

Panopticlick uses a fingerprinting system that's quite effective against
individual web users, because of the way that we set our browsers up for
functionality. However, a malicious automated crawler can say whatever it
wants: whatever resolution, javascript, cookies, and flash settings it
wants. Using that type of fingerprinting would have little effect on a
malicious crawler, but would be extremely inconvenient for normal users.


app for each app's tor control?

2010-07-20 Thread Jerzy Łogiewa
hello!

i have an idea- i would like an app for easily controlling what gui and non-gui 
apps are using tor, like with little snitch on the mac. maybe i can try to make 
this? what would be the best way to do this?

in the best case it should detect like little snitch if an app that is to be 
proxied is opening and automatically route it the proper way, yes? i can 
program a little. is there some list member who can help to outline the basic 
idea?

thank you!

mac and tor with little snitch

2010-07-20 Thread Jerzy Łogiewa
hello!

i am looking for a solution for mac using tor and little snitch:

when I have the global proxy configured to make everything run through tor, the 
mac ignores little snitch rules!

how can I configure the app to respect little snitch rules and at the same time 
move through tor?

thank you!

Hi,


And it would be little affection to normal users.
