[Tails-dev] non-anonymous ephemeral onion services with stem
The stem documentation for create_ephemeral_hidden_service [1] says: "Changed in version 1.5.0: Added support for non-anonymous services." But I can't figure out to actually use this feature. There doesn't seem to be a new argument to say if you want your onion service to be non-anonymous. It also says, "Changed in version 1.5.0: Added the basic_auth argument." But there's a new basic_auth argument you can pass into the function to use that.

I realized I can just install the .deb from Tor's experimental repo, and it seems to work. -- Micah Lee signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
[Tails-dev] Newer version of Tor in Tails
I'm updating OnionShare to add support for ephemeral hidden services, which is available in Tor 0.2.7.1-alpha and newer and I'd like to test it in Tails to confirm that it works. What's the easiest way for me to get a version of Tails that includes Tor 0.2.7.1+? Should I boot to Tails 1.5.1 and try to compile and install a newer version of Tor? Or is there an alpha version of Tails I could use instead? -- Micah Lee signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.

I just tested a bunch of old versions of Tails in VMs and confirmed that it last worked in 1.2.3 and stopped working in 1.3. Specifically, OnionShare is able to connect to the Tor control port, but when it tries to create a hidden service it now causes the entire tor process to crash, and it looks like this is related to Tor sandbox warnings. You can look at the issue on github to see the full tor logs, but basically there are a handful of sandbox_intern_string(): Bug: No interned sandbox parameter found for /var/lib/tor/tmpBuBZmk errors (/var/lib/tor/tmpBuBZmk being the hidden service dir), ending with a crash: (Sandbox) Caught a bad syscall attempt (syscall open). Looks like a bug in Tor sandbox rather than anything Tails-specific to me. Agreed, but I haven't run into it anywhere except in Tails. Maybe this is because all other platforms use the tor service from Tor Browser rather than a system Tor, and that doesn't have sandboxing enabled or something? So I can find very little information about what's causing this or how to fix it. Anyone here know? 0. Make sure there are no AppArmor-related messages for Tor in `sudo dmesg`. If there are, please report them to us. There are no AppArmor errors. 1. Try without Tor sandboxing (configuring a bridge as documented via Tails Greeter + Tor Launcher should be enough, since we disable the sandbox when special Tor config is requested). When I enable a bridge it doesn't cause the tor crash. So I think this is a Tor sandbox issue. However, onionshare fails for some other reason when a bridge is enabled. I think this is an entirely separate issue, but I'm looking into it. 2. If #1 confirmed that the only problem is caused by Tor sandboxing, report a bug on the Tor bug tracker: we don't maintain the Tor sandbox in Tails :) Apparently tor immediately crashes in Tor Browser if you edit its torrc and set Sandbox 1. So now I'm testing using a system Tor in Debian, not Tails, and I can confirm that starting a hidden service causes a crash. I'll try to make a simpler piece of code that reproduces it and open a tor bug. -- Micah Lee OpenPGP: 0B1491929806596254700155FD720AD9EBA34B1C ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
[Tails-dev] OnionShare bug in Tails
OnionShare recently stopped working in Tails and I'm trying to fix it. Here is the issue: https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare/issues/179 Specifically, OnionShare is able to connect to the Tor control port, but when it tries to create a hidden service it now causes the entire tor process to crash, and it looks like this is related to Tor sandbox warnings.

While searching for how to solve this I've only found a small handful of closed tor bugs that were all resolved with patches to tor itself, like: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12041 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12035 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12064 So I can find very little information about what's causing this or how to fix it.

Why would I lock the screen if I'm the only one using the computer in a safe environment, and shut it down and remove the live medium when I'm done with my work. I outlined some reasons for it here [1], but TL;DR is so you can step out of your office for a minute to refill your cup of coffee without having to close all your work, tell everyone you're chatting with that you'll brb, shut down your computer, and then boot it up again to get back to work.
