[tor-dev] PT-themed stuffed animals: huggable transports

2015-04-01 Thread David Fifield
In an effort to improve pluggable transports' visual identity, we should
introduce a line of stuffed animals. The only rule that the the animal's
name has to be made out of the transport name.

The meek meerkat! [1]
The obfs blobfish! [2]
The FTE eft! [3]
The flash proxy banded quail (Philortyx fasciatus)! [4]
The ScrambleSuit bumblebee (Bombus centralis)! [5]

Call now, operators are standing by.

[tor-dev] Raptor

2015-04-01 Thread Liste
Some people say to track tor users there is a tool named raptor.
It uses the packet data recognition to track via AS the data streams
between tor hosts.

Can be a good idea to split, merge, change the packet order, the data
streams etc... to obfuscate the traffic with an algotithm to create
false data recostruction?

Example:

Alice ---node- node - node -- Bob1  False/EndOfStream
 ^ ^v ^v   ^v   ^v   |
 \--- node - node - node -- node -/

If a complex network is created and some random data and connection are
added to negotiate the data
obfuscation, is very difficult to track a single data stream or packet.

When the data arrival, send some data (same payload size)to a random
loop circuit.

What do you think?

That's a plaintext rabbit - surely you meant [2]?

[tor-dev] Tor hangs at startup

2015-04-01 Thread spriver
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

the Tor software has a odd behaviour on my Debian machine; it hangs
when I start it via service start tor on my Debian (Wheezy
3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u2) with Tor (0.2.4.26-1):

service tor start
[ ok ] Starting tor daemon...

And then nothing happens anymore, I have to kill the dialog with ^C.

As I figured out Tor starts correctly in the background (the logfile
tells me so) and also opens my ORport and Dirport (netstat told me).


Is this a bug or a behaviour that is supposed to be that way?

Cheers,

spriver
