The clock is fine on Pirate Linux. I've been writing my emails with
another OS, and now I think I fixed it :)

For hidden to hidden, consider using onioncat.

Tor provides a SOCKS5 proxy on port 9050 by default,
so using privoxy just increases latency and config, it
is not needed.

There are lower speed codecs in G.723.1 and G.729(A).
Maybe Ogg has plugins too.

> I got 2 calling test with latency less than 400 ms

Latency is the larger problem and testing it is hard since
isolating a single node for through Tor testing can only be
done on the average after discounting the other nodes in
the path. Easier would be doing some GeoLocation and
try to ping prospective nodes in the clear.

High bandwidth or low user rarely equals low latency.

You will need to create your own circuits using
the Tor Control Protocol on port 9051. Read the
man page and:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree
control-spec, socks-extensions, etc.

You will need to write test and circuit building scripts.
Might as well post them when you're done.

Maybe no one has done this yet...?

You should look around, if you can find a voice client supporting TCP.

Tunneling Voip-UDP with OpenVPN over Tor-TCP does not work well, even without 
Tor.

You may get better results by dropping the middle nodes altogether and
just using two hop circuits. Depends on your anonymity requirements.
Here's an old blog post I wrote to explain how to do it:

> Was it your answer to my question about upgrading Tails?

Yes. I'm not sure exactly how the Tails upgrade system works, but I
think it requires one to download a tails ISO and either burn it to
DVD or install it to usb using the USB installer in tails or in
another OS. If someone is using Tails booted from Pirate Linux, they
can download the ISO from the Tails website, and use the USB installer
there, it should work as long as they have enough RAM to store the
ISO. If you have more detailed questions, feel free to ask me on IRC
(akarmn, irc.oftc.net).

Re: [tor-talk] How to Control middle Nodes?

2012-05-31 Thread Maimun Rizal

Hi,

My test, based on windows, so for VoIP clients I use Phonerlite, it use 
UDP. because of TOR is TCP based, I will use openvpn to transferring udp 
packet through TOR network.
Caller and Callee know each other. so this concept will anonymous to 
third party only.

I will use tor network only without hidden services.

I have make calling test with default tor configuration, from 10 calling 
test, I got 2 calling test with latency less than 400 ms. so, in my 
mind, there is possibility to transfer voice packets through tor network.
in this test, I need tor bandwidth constantly about 30-34 kbps. and 
then, I configure Entry and Exit Nodes with high bandwidth. I did 
calling test for this configuration. but did not calculate yet the result.


for Entry and Exit Nodes, we can configure in torrc files,
we can use "EntryNodes $fingerprint,$fingerprint,$..." for specific 
entry nodes and "ExitNodes $fingerprint,$fingerprint,..." for specific 
exit nodes. but for middle nodes, I don't know how to set it up. 
Reducing latency in this case, I should configure all nodes 
(entry,middle,exit) in same Continent and try to find nodes with high 
bandwidth and low user. to connect openvpn and tor i use privoxy as 
socks5 proxy.


in windows, is there TorCtl file?

Best regards,
Maimun

Hidden Services or going with/trough an Internet peer?

In order to control the middle node i would suggest you to create a code
that, via Tor Control Protocol, establish manually Tor Circuits, Measure
the latency.

Then by default Circuit change every 10 minutes.
You need to put it to an higher value, so that when you find a circuit
that have the latency caracteristics that you need, you can use this.

But you probably need to make some manual scripting/hacking trough
TorCtl/Tor Control Protocol.

>From what I tested, no security feature is broken. The system is
booted in the standard way, and all the log messages on bootup and

because it relies on the filesystem mounted to /live/image, which
includes some non tails files, and causes it to think there's not
enough space.

It's meant to easily allow people to try Tails, an if they like it and
they want the official version, they can go to the Tails website and

It always feels good to see Tails spread around, but given the
non-standard way this one is installed, I feel compelled to ask:

Is any security feature of Tails known to be broken?
How are users supposed to upgrade the Tails provided by Pirate Linux?

[tor-talk] Pirate Linux 1.5

2012-05-31 Thread Andrew K
Pirate Linux 1.5 has just been released. The main OS in the ISO is based
off Ubuntu 12.04. You can also just download piratepack, which is a DEB
package which installs essentially the same features and has been tested
on Ubuntu 10+ and Debian 6.

Download page: http://piratelinux.org/?page_id=2

Features page: http://piratelinux.org/?page_id=15

Get started with this Guide: http://piratelinux.org/?page_id=275

Notable Tor features:

- Tor Web Browser that uses your default Firefox. (Contains the addons
Bloody Vikings, HTTPS-Everywhere, NoScript, Torbutton, websocket disabled).

- Tor IRC. (pidgin with OTR connected to Tor with a random username and
some relevant chat rooms added to list)

- Easily create multiple Tor (Vidalia) instances.

- Convenient access from the boot menu to the Tails Amnesic Incognito
Live System (This method of using Tails is not officially supported by
the Tails developers, and some features such as the USB installer may
not work).

Some future plans:

- Only updates get compiled.

- Gentoo package.

- Pirate Linux Server Edition.

But now, until probably October, I'll be too busy to add new features,
so I'll just focus on maintaining bugs and important updates.

[tor-talk] How to Control middle Nodes?

2012-05-31 Thread Maimun Rizal

Hi all,
I want to know how to control middle nodes in TOR?

Currently, I want to do voip through Tor network, i have tried make 10 
test call, but only 2 test call with latency less than 400 ms, so, my 
plan to control nodes in tor which through by voice packet.


I did "EntryNodes $fingerprint,..." and "ExitNodes $fingerprint,..." in 
Torrc to control entry and exit node. But i can not control middle node. 
So I want to know, is there a way to control middle nodes? If so, how?. 
Perhaps, with control all nodes, i can decrease latency.


I am looking forward to hear from all of you,

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Maimun
