Facebook has had a wildcard EV cert for its .onion site for over a
year now (thanks to DigiCert).

 Hey all,

Hey!

   So Satori is this app for Google Chrome that distributes circumvention
 software in a difficult-to-block way and makes it easy for users to check if
 it's been tampered with in-transit.  I've been kind of obsessive about it,
 and now that it's been released, I'd love to see what the Tor community
 thinks. :D It's basically *just* been released, so I'm seriously looking for
 critical feedback and bugs to squish.  People seem to like it, but Satori is
 far from perfect.

Sounds interesting! Could you say a bit more about how it distributes software?

 We initially had images in all regions, but due to a bug/issue (see

 temporarily remove all images except the ones in us-east-1. The goal
 is to bring back images for the other regions at some point.


 Thanks, I read the bug and the AWS thread and it looks like there is
 something wrong with the image copy process. If I wanted to setup in a
 location other than Virginia would I be able to use your build script to do
 that or would I run into the same image copy problem?

The copy problem may have been fixed, but I have yet to try it out
myself. If you want to set up a bridge in a location other than
Virginia, spin up an Ubuntu instance and go through the steps in
ec2-prep.sh.

 Also I noticed in
 ec2-prep.sh you have:
 curl -m 5 http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/reservation-id
 That address is invalid, what is the reservation id for?



  I read in Tor Weekly News today that the obfs3 protocol is vulnerable to
  active probing attacks and there is a replacement ScrambleSuit. If I
 setup
  the AWS Obfsproxy image now does that mean the Chinese can detect it and
  block it? Is that image obfs2 or 3 or both? Should I just wait until
  ScrambleSuit is supported, or can I modify the config file to only use
  ScrambleSuit, or is that not a good idea at this point? I don't want to
 run
  something that nobody is going to be able to use because governments can
  just detect it and block it.

 The current image is a standard bridge, an obfs2 bridge, and an
 obfs3 bridge. ScrambleSuit is not included. If you create an SSH key
 when setting up the instance, you can log on and change whatever you
 want. The Great Firewall of China blocks standard bridges and obfs2,
 but I believe it has yet to block obfs3.


 Ok so after I do a build if I want scramblesuit I change this line:
 ServerTransportPlugin obfs2,obfs3 exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy --managed
 to this:
 ServerTransportPlugin scramblesuit exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy --managed

If you want your bridge to just support the scramblesuit transport, yes.

 According to this here I need to update obfsproxy first? Is that relevant
 here?
 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2014-February/003886.html

Yes. The ec2-prep.sh script will only pull packages from the Ubuntu repository.

  Is Tor obfuscation specifically more likely to come under attack from
  repressive governments?

 More likely than what?


 Than regular tor bridges. Are obfs3 bridges special bridges that users in
 repressive countries are more likely to use because other bridges are
 blocked? Maybe I don't understand.

Yes.

  How is security handled. For example suppose there's a known
 vulnerability
  in Tor or Ubuntu does the server shut down until it's fixed and an update
  is available or does the server stay up and risk being hacked? Is there
 any
  notification sent to the AWS administrator in these cases? I would
 imagine
  even a small window is gold for some state run group to break in.

 The server stays up and checks for regular package updates from
 Ubuntu. If someone were to break in, they would not learn anything
 more than if they had set up a bridge themselves.


 Ok. Let's say there was a security vulnerability being exploited in Tor
 bridges. Is there any warning from Tor staff? Like when there is one in
 Flash or Microsoft etc I will get a CERT or a security advisory saying xxx
 is being actively exploited, view such and such a page for more
 information. In those cases I will just turn off flash or run the fix it.

There will be emails on the tor-talk mailing list and posts on the blog.

  How can I determine the integrity of the server and do I have any
  responsibility to do that? Do you guys who are running these instances in
  the Tor Cloud just set it and forget it or is there some oversight
 required?

 The Ubuntu image the Tor Cloud image is based off of is verified when
 the image is built. The Tor package is verified as it is installed
 (which happens within the first five minutes you boot the server for
 the very first time).


 Thanks I took a look at the script.



  I would take an active role in securing the instance if necessary but I
  need to know what to do. What do you guys do?

 The image has been configured to automatically check for package
 updates. In addition, it is recommended that you only open certain
 ports in the firewall (22 for SSH, plus 443, 40872 and 52176 for Tor).

 And also wouldn't it be better to vary the OS and images in case there is a

The operating systems would all be Linux based, so I'm not sure this
would make much of a difference.

Correct. Bridge addresses are not public, but it's easy to check if an
IP address is a Tor bridge.

 How? Do you just request constant bridges until the IP address the target 
 used shows up?

You can try to connect with Tor or you can run 'openssl s_client
-connect ip:port'... I'm sure there are other ways.

 It's complete in fact.
 IIRC, (according to sukhe), there's an string on Transifex which is
 actually not included in TorBirdy anymore.

Sounds like the strings on Transifex should be updated. What is the
gitweb.torproject URL to the TorBirdy strings?

 But there's a bigger problem which I only learned couple weeks ago.
 There's no Persian (Fa) Thunderbird. So that's no use, even if we have
 Persian TorBirdy included.

Perhaps we should put out a call for translations for Thunderbird?

The Tor page on Stack Exchange is now a public (beta) site! You can
ask and answer questions about Tor on http://tor.stackexchange.com/.
If you'd like to discuss the Tor Stack Exchange page itself, nominate

[tor-talk] A note about the Stack Exchange private beta

2013-09-25 Thread Runa A. Sandvik
Hi everyone,

Last week, the proposed Tor page on Stack Exchange [1] reached 100%
commitment. Committed users will soon be invited to the private beta.
I wanted to clarify a few things regarding this private beta (big
thanks to the Stack Exchange team for replying to my email so
quickly!):

1. The private beta stage typically lasts for one week. The Stack
Exchange team may decide to extend the period to two weeks depending
on how it goes. The purpose behind it is to ensure that users who
committed to the site's proposal have a chance to start asking and
answering questions, as well as help with the initial community
building activities that will define and shape the site.

2. The more experts who participate in the private beta, the more
certain it is that our page will move on to the next stage (i.e. the
public beta). To get in on the private beta, visit the proposal page
[1] and click the Commit!-button. Those who commit to the proposal
now can invite others to join the beta later.

 It

 That contradicts what Nick initially replied (first reply in this thread).

Stack Exchange proposals and pages are very much community driven. We
need help from the community to make our page a success. There is a
discussion on our proposal page about whether we should limit the page
to Tor-related questions or not;
http://discuss.area51.stackexchange.com/questions/10705/why-limit-this-to-tor.

I agree with Nick's statement about seeing how things develop and
revisit the question later. I am concerned that including other
anonymizing networks and tools, such as Freenet and I2P, will make the
site too broad. I would also like to encourage you to comment on the
proposal page instead of the tor-talk mailing list. The proposal page
is a good place for a discussion about what the page should and should
not be.

Thanks for volunteering! Please see

If we can move the page from the proposal stage to the beta stage,
yes. If we can't do that, then I don't see why we should spend
resources (time, money, people) on setting up our own site. At this
point, we still need volunteers to vote on questions on the proposal
page.

If the page is successful and someone also delivers a secure and
functional version of AskBot, then I don't see why we can't move over
to something self-hosted later on.

We can set karma manually by editing the AskBot database. Doing so
would be a bit of a pain if we have a high number of very committed
users, though.

 Overall, I am not afrad of the import part: AskBot is free software.
 It's getting data out of Stack Exchange that I am wondering about.

 Looks like at least most data (except user logins, emails and passwords)
 could be retrieved through http://data.stackexchange.com/, but it

[tor-talk] Please help promote Tor's Stack Exchange page

2013-06-12 Thread Runa A. Sandvik
Hi everyone,

We have been discussing setting up a QA page for a while now. Last
night, I proposed a Stack Exchange page for Tor on [1]. The detailed
version about how this process works can be found on [2], but here is
the tl;dr:

A user proposes a new page, other users follow said page, and users
create and vote on hypothetical questions. Each user can only ask 5
questions, I am not yet sure if there is a limit to how much you can
vote. Once the page reaches enough followers and questions with a high
score, the page moves into the Commit phase. A small number of users
will need to commit to help building the site. Once that's done, the
page goes live and is considered to be in Beta.

The proposal is currently in a Definition phase. To move to the next
phase, we need (1) a high number of followers of the page, and (2) a
collection of good, relevant questions.

If you want to help promote our Stack Exchange page, sign up on Stack
Exchange [3], visit our proposal page [2], log in*, follow, ask 5
questions, and vote on other questions.

Thanks!

* You will notice that while [3] has SSL enabled login, [1] does not.
I have raised this issue with Stack Exchange already and hope to hear
back soon.

[tor-talk] Obfsproxy Bridges in the Amazon Cloud

2012-09-26 Thread Runa A. Sandvik
Hi everyone,

The Tor Cloud images [1] for all the seven regions have been updated
to fix a bug found in the unattended-upgrades configuration. The
normal bridge images have also been updated to include obfsproxy [2],
which attempts to help users circumvent censorship by transforming the
Tor traffic between the client and the bridge.

If you are already running a Tor Cloud bridge, you will need to either
manually update your image, or set up a new Tor Cloud bridge and
terminate the old one. If you decide not to take action, your image
will fail to upgrade Tor correctly and will not be running as a
bridge.

If you just want to fix the bug in the unattended-upgrades
configuration, do the following; log on with SSH and edit
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades to say precise instead of
lucid.

If you are already running a Tor Cloud bridge, you will need to either
manually update your image, or set up a new Tor Cloud bridge and
terminate the old one. If you decide not to take action, your image
will fail to upgrade Tor correctly and will not be running as a

 I've noticed the same thing. The notice disappears if you extract the

 OK for me, working fine. But wondering:

 o Any reason why there was no testing via tor-qa?

Tor 0.2.2.39 was a security-fix release for a fairly severe bug and we
wanted to get a new release out as soon as possible.

[tor-talk] Updated Tor Cloud images, includes fix for Tor package upgrades

2012-08-10 Thread Runa A. Sandvik
Hi everyone,

The Tor Cloud [1] images for all the seven regions have been updated
to include the latest cloud image for stable Ubuntu release 10.04 LTS
(Lucid Lynx). These new images are available on the Tor Cloud website.

The new images include a fix to allow Tor to upgrade automatically
without requiring user intervention (#6511).

If you are already running a Tor Cloud bridge, you will need to either
manually update your image, or set up a new Tor Cloud bridge and
terminate the old one. If you decide not to take action, your image
will fail to upgrade Tor correctly and will not be running as a
bridge.

To manually update your image, do the following:

0. Log on with SSH
1. Open /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
2. Add the line: Dpkg::Options { --force-confold; }
3. Save and exit

 It fails with tor-browser-2.2.35-12_en-US and with

 I always get:

 That's not related to OFTC, since I get No Ident response on other IRC

 OFTC however does not:
 * Closing Link: [any exit name] (No more connections permitted from your
 host)
 * Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).

 I got and tried different exits as well.

 Without Tor (any proxy) I can connect and get an Ident response.
 Therefor I guess it is not the firewall.

 I'm on Windows 7 (64bit) and PChat has not changed since I was able to
 connect. tor-browser-2.2.35-7.1_en-US is from February 2012 and I was
 only after that date. I use SSL but did so before.

 I'm not sure if it's the right place, but I don't know what's wrong.

Someone (connecting over Tor) was spamming in #tor on OFTC earlier,

[tor-talk] Updated Tor Cloud images, and action required

2012-04-18 Thread Runa A. Sandvik
Hi everyone,

The Tor Cloud [1] images for all the seven regions have been updated to
include the latest cloud image for stable Ubuntu release 10.04 LTS
(Lucid Lynx). These new images are available on the Tor Cloud website.

If you are already running a Tor Cloud bridge, you will need to either
manually update your image, or set up a new Tor Cloud bridge and
terminate the old one. If you decide not to take action, your image may
fail to download package updates correctly. What follows is an important
message from the ubuntu-cloud mailing list [2]:

In an effort to improve on reliability of the Ubuntu archive mirrors
for EC2 instances, Canonical is replacing the existing EC2 archive
mirrors with mirrors backed by Amazon S3. This change itself will be
done via modification of DNS entries and will be transparent to users.

However, due to a bug in the http pipelining implementation in S3 a
change to apt configuration needs to be made to avoid download
errors. We have chosen to deliver this change via a package upgrade
in cloud-init.

The *action required* is one of the following:

a). upgrade cloud-init:
$ sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install -y cloud-init

b). launch official AMI's released after 2012-04-01, which will have
the fix included.

c). manually disable http pipeline use in apt:
$ echo 'Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth 0;' |
  sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-no-pipelining

Should you choose not to take appropriate action, you will likely
experience transient apt downloading errors after the change is
implemented. In order to give appropriate time to apply the change,
this transition will not occur before April 18, 2012.

 Great idea - thanks for providing these images. Deployment of new
 instances is a breeze.

 One question on the included configuration: It seems to currently cap
 bandwidth at 10GB/week. But AWS Free Usage Tier gives us 15GB/month.

 Wouldn't

 AccountingStart month 1 10:00
 AccountingMax 15 GB

 be a more sensible default for people trying this out? Making this as
 cost-free as possible should help with Tor Cloud adoption.

 Does this config limit the usefulness of the relay?

It does, unfortunately. A bridge pushing 15 GB per month is not nearly
as useful as a bridge pushing 40 GB per month (which seems to be the
average for bridges). With the free tier, and 40 GB per month, you
still end up paying less than $3 a month.

Re: [tor-talk] Vidalia Obsfproxy Bundle?

 Does anyone know if such a bundle exists or if there are plans to make one?  
 The reason I ask is because I know a number of people who would be down to 
 run an Obfuscated Tor Bridge, but are a bit wary of installing Linux as 
 they've either never used it, or are still dependent on a number of programs 
 they use in either Windows or OS X.

 I managed to get such a set up working just fine via tweaking the Tor Browser 
 Bundle that comes packaged with Obsfproxy.  I was thinking about writing up a 
 quick how to guide for that approach on either Windows or OS X.  But, if 
 such a standalone Vidalia bundle exists, it would weed out a couple steps 
 (pretty much editing some text and repointing Vidalia to various programs and 
 config files) that would make the instructions simpler for someone who isn't 
 necessarily 100% comfortable with Tor or setting up something like it.

We don't yet have a Vidalia obfsproxy bridge-by-default bundle.

Hi,

 I have got a new TBB file
 tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.2.35-7.2-dev-en-US.tar.gz for the site of
 the Torproject and have tried to verify it.
 I have had the next result:
 $  gpg --verify

 tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.2.35-7.2-dev-en-US.tar.gz
 gpg: Signature made Mon Feb 20 12:45:15 2012 UTC using RSA key ID 140C961B
 gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

 As I can the the previous version was signed by Erinn Clark:
  gpg --verify tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.2.35-7-dev-en-US.tar.gz.asc
 tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.2.35-7-dev-en-US.tar.gz
 gpg: Signature made Sat Feb 18 19:53:24 2012 UTC using RSA key ID 63FEE659
 gpg: Good signature from Erinn Clark er...@torproject.org
 gpg:                 aka Erinn Clark er...@debian.org
 gpg:                 aka Erinn Clark er...@double-helix.org


 Is the sign of tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.2.35-7.2-dev-en-US.tar.gz
 right sing?

Sebastian made and signed the bundles this time, as explained on

 Is there an easy way to determine if I have configured my tor bridge

Re: [tor-talk] Increasing obfsproxies with the cloud

Hi,

We have a lot of obfsproxy bridges running at the moment. We need
stable, high-bandwidth bridges. I don't think setting up a tremendous
number of bridges in the cloud will help much at this point. When
obfsproxy is more stable and maintaining an obfsproxy bridge does not
require too much manual intervention, I will build obfsproxy bridge
images for cloud.torproject.org.

 I'm running into an issue involving obfsproxy.  I've followed the 
 instructions provided by Jacob.  From a friend's machine at a different IP 
 address, if I use Vidalia and point the bridge and the ORPort at 9001, it 
 works without any issues.  However, if I point the bridge to the port setup 
 by obfsproxy, I run into the following problem with Vidalia:

 Establishing an encrypted directory connection failed (done).

 When running Tor with the logging set to debug on my bridge, I've come 
 across the following which I believe to be the culprit:

 Feb 12 13:06:36.000 [debug] tor_tls_handshake(): About to call SSL_accept on

 [unexpected close]. breaking connection.

 Am I missing a particular package?  Has anyone else run into this problem?

Have you tried the client instructions (Step 2a) on

 I would like to ask if you need help by testing the software on this piece of

I believe we dropped the Buffalo due to lack of memory / storage

 Hi,

Hi,

 When running obfsproxy, Tor registers the obfs2 server transport at a
 different port from the port on which OR is listening.

 Which ports need to be accessible through a firewall on the bridge node?

Both.

  And which ports do tor-assistants need to be aware of?

Just the port obfsproxy is using.

Re: [tor-talk] UK block TOR

2012/1/25 Rock Neurotiko miguelglafue...@gmail.com:
 The mobile operators block Tor.

 If any ISP can block Tor, maybe, in the future, the goberments will create
 a law to block Tor.

 http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/tech-tech-boom-10017860/mobile-operators-confirm-tor-block-10025282/

They block the HTTP version of the Tor Project website for PAYG
customers. If you have a contract, or you have verified your age and
had the filter removed, you will be able to access the HTTP version of
the page as normal.
