Re: [tor-talk] SKKU43 Tor relay (was Re: Metrics fast exit page)
Roger, We are the academic research group located in Seoul, Korea. One of my students happened to misconfigure the bandwidth parameter in his Tor during his research on the Tor bandwidth scanner. Then, the advertised bandwidth jumped up to the high number and drew a number of circuits in the last days or so. We switched the number back to the automatic adjustment right after checking your email in this list. We are still running SKKU43 in order for the advertised bwauth value to return to normal. I apologize for this happening to you and the Tor community.

And then see https://compass.torproject.org/#?exit_filter=all_relayslinkssort=cwsort_reversecountry=top=10 which currently lists SKKU43 as 11% of the advertised bandwidth, and 7.3% of exit weights: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/9E4C3E2597AD49CED745BE024ED620B88BBBF002 This relay advertises a self-measured bandwidth of 1GByte/s: https://exonerator.torproject.org/serverdesc?desc-id=2c414fc08f7cbb3b4b09a5cd5014cf03d12d20ca which is fine because self-measured bandwidth isn't used (at least not directly) by clients. But then the torflow bwauths measure it at w Bandwidth=1 Measured=123 (moria1's opinion) w Bandwidth=1 Measured=67000 (gabelmoo's opinion) w Bandwidth=1 Measured=145 (tor26's opinion) w Bandwidth=1 Measured=617000 (maatuska's opinion) Leading to a median of 617000 weight, which is more than twice the second-most-weighted relay: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/E0113C18726D3AD74D6081C43D2539CA9A0A8745 I think IPredator is actually carrying the traffic it claims. But I find SKKU43's bandwidth line fishy-looking: bandwidth 12 12 10 So I guess the first question is, does it look like SKKU43 is actually as good at carrying traffic as it appears to be? And the second question is, should we lower the caps in torflow on how much weight it will give a single relay? Or are the caps already low and there's a bug?

Yes, I thought not, but it's strange behavior nonetheless as it never happens except over Tor with my provider, and it is always transient (one, maybe two failed auths, then things work - it makes me suspicious).

Is this not sufficient to get BadExit flag?

Is this some kind of MitM attack? That's not enough information to judge. Assuming the attacker doesn't have a valid certificate, Thunderbird would give you a certificate warning upon connection, not after sending any password. That's what I was hoping! But after Flame and the novel MD5 break... one can't be too paranoid I guess? It could as well be the legitimate IMAP server, plainly failing to authenticate you. The strange thing is this only happens over Tor with my mail provider, and it's not a timeout. That's why I thought it was funny...

Re: [tor-talk] Hulu now blocks Tor
For completeness (nobody likes a story with a hanging ending :p ), access to Hulu is restored. Below is the email I sent them and their response. My msg: - Hello, I run a non-exit Tor relay on my home network. This allows Internet users, who are censored, to access the Internet and protects users who wish to keep their privacy while online. There is a great description of who uses Tor at: https://www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en As you can tell, my IP is based in the U.S. and I would like to access Hulu. Can you please lift the blacklist on my IP? Josh Response: Hi Joshua, Thank you for contacting us. I'm sorry about the anonymous proxy message you're seeing. A proxy is a server that acts as an intermediary between your computer and the Internet. It's possible to use an anonymous proxy and not realize it. However, after further investigation, I've confirmed that your IP address was incorrectly categorized to be an anonymous proxy. I have submitted a request to approve your IP address for use and you should be up and running in about 3-5 days. If the error appears after this time definitely reach out to us and we'll be happy to dig a bit deeper. Once again, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. If anything else comes up, please don't hesitate to write back. Thanks, Hulu Support On Fri, Feb 7, 2014 at 12:52 PM, Joshua Datko jbda...@gmail.com wrote: So, I should clarify: The computer on which I received this error was not running Tor at all. Not as a daemon; not the TBB. I run a non-exit relay, on my same home network and thus the same public facing IP as my public facing relay. My conclusion that Hulu blocks Tor was based on the following: I run a public relay - my IP is listed as running a Tor relay - I received this Hulu nasty message - therefore Hulu must be blacklisting my IP because I run a Tor relay. Sorry for the confusion. On Fri, Feb 7, 2014 at 12:09 PM, Missouri Anglers missouri.angl...@gmail.com wrote: Hulu requires JavaScript to work properly.
