[tor-talk] please test the new obfsproxy bridge debian/ubuntu directions
Hi folks, George and I have put together some instructions on how to set up a Tor bridge + obfsproxy on Debian/Ubuntu: https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy-debian-instructions Getting more obfsproxy bridges up and running is useful because right now they're the best way for users in China to get to the Tor network. The recent Tor 0.2.4.x releases know how to automatically report your obfsproxy address to the bridge directory authority, so we can give out your address like we give out normal bridge addresses. So: if you're on Debian or Ubuntu and have a moment to try out our instructions, please do! Let us know where you get stuck, what Debian flavors the instructions fail on, etc. Thanks! --Roger ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
[tor-talk] What's written to HD?
Hello, Does browsing with TBB installed on the HD or a USB stick and downloading files (.PDFs, SM vids etc.;)) to a USB stick (but not opening online) result in the content of what's browsed or downloaded being written to the HD at all? If TBB does leave 'content evidence' on the HD, other than Tails are there any easy ways (i.e. for the technically challenged) to run Tor (TBB) from within a liveCD or VM to prevent this? ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
Re: [tor-talk] What's written to HD?
If you're on a Live CD, everything should stay in the RAM, unless you really jump through hoops to write to the HD. In that case (barring a cold boot attack, which is far fetched), any data you downloaded will be gone. On a normal PC anything saved or opened is stored on the HD though. Live CDs are special, everything runs in RAM. -- Greg Norcie (g...@norcie.com) GPG key: 0x1B873635 On 11/11/12 3:19 PM, Dan Hughes wrote: Hello, Does browsing with TBB installed on the HD or a USB stick and downloading files (.PDFs, SM vids etc.;)) to a USB stick (but not opening online) result in the content of what's browsed or downloaded being written to the HD at all?

Apparently it doesn't start on reboot. Also, it's old and buggy. We're looking into ways to improve it, but all the Tor developers are distracted by other things, so it keeps falling out of the priority list. --Roger ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

But don't some LIveCDs write to swap space on the local hard drive IF they see one?

No. TBB disables disk cache completely. What's written to disk is updated consensus and state files for Tor, temporary files for Vidalia controller authentication, and any manual changes you make to the modified firefox and torrc. We have an open task to figure out what's changing inside the OS and to confirm zero user content is written to disk at any time.
