Re: [tor-talk] about tor entry node
2012/12/7 Sebastian G. bastik.tor bastik@googlemail.com esolve esolve: I have some questions about tor entry node when a Tor node is used by a Tor client as entry node, how can this node know that it is used as an entry node? I would have said because of the cells a client sends, but I couldn't find a document to verify my claim. (I'm not reading the specs very often) besides, why do Tor designers want to let the entry node know that it is an entry node? Generally: Entry nodes get the Guard flag so clients know among which nodes they can pick as their entry points. (Currently three entry guards, that might change in the future) - you meant each client can only have 3 entry guard candidates? how many entry guards are there in the whole tor network and how are they allocated? can entry guards be used as normal relay nodes? On each case: The Tor network is public (beside the bridges) so you know every node and therefor their IP addresses. Every IP that connects to you, which is not in the list of IP addresses you know, has to be either a client or a bridge. actually there are many good conference papers presume that the attacker takes control of an entry node and exit node, then blabla. so maybe their assumptions are just wrong at the beginning!?

Re: [tor-talk] about tor entry node
what I meant is: Let me say that an attacker controls some nodes. At a certain time, one of the controlled nodes is used as entry node by a tor client, if the attacker doesn't know that the node is used as entry node, then the attacker can't identify the client. Even if it examines the IP addresses of the lists of relays, the suspicious IP may belong to a client or a bridge. so why tor designer let the attacker know when a controlled node is used as entry node？ 2012/12/7 Sebastian G. bastik.tor bastik@googlemail.com esolve esolve: besides, why do Tor designers want to let the entry node know that it is an entry node? Generally: Entry nodes get the Guard flag so clients know among which nodes they can pick as their entry points. (Currently three entry guards, that might change in the future) - you meant each client can only have 3 entry guard candidates? A tor client picks three entry guards from the list of relays which got the guard flag. The client sets an expiry time from 30-60 days; after which it picks again. (It may do that earlier if Guards go down) how many entry guards are there in the whole tor network and how are they allocated? Around 900 entry guards out of 3000 relays. See this graph: https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html?graph=relayflagsstart=2012-09-08end=2012-12-07flag=Runningflag=Guardgranularity=day#relayflags can entry guards be used as normal relay nodes? Yes entry guards can be at any position in a circuit (if it also got the exit flag). (Middle relays are just relays without guard and exit flags) On each case: The Tor network is public (beside the bridges) so you know every node and therefor their IP addresses. Every IP that connects to you, which is not in the list of IP addresses you know, has to be either a client or a bridge. actually there are many good conference papers presume that the attacker takes control of an entry node and exit node, then blabla. so maybe their assumptions are just wrong at the beginning!? As much as I hope that they would be wrong... they are not. At least not to my understanding. If someone, that might be the relay operator that controls both entry and exit of a given circuit, or an adversary that can look at the traffic of them, can see both ends he can correlate the traffic. Based on timing information and traffic volume, for example. Low latency networks such as Tor suffer from traffic correlation, which has not been defeated yet. As far as I know this would be very hard to accomplish, if at all.. (I'm not experienced enough with this topic.) Entry Guards are one attempt to minimize the risk of being exposed to traffic correlation. If the client picks three guards that are honest (good guards), an attacker won't be able to correlate traffic, while it would be more likely to pick a bad entry point if entry guards wouldn't have been invented/introduced. (While there still is the case that a client can pick bad guards) To avoid building circuits over nodes that are controlled by the same operator, operators can set a Family for their nodes, so the Tor client would not pick them for the same circuit (also everything in the same /16 IP block). Obviously the relay operators have to be honest as this is an optional torrc setting and if your are a bad guy I guess you wouldn't set it. (The other way around is not true; if it is not set although it would be correct doesn't mean the relay operator is a bad guy) ___ 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

Re: [tor-talk] how to know which IP(host) a TOR client is using as tor nodes?
ah,below the connection-status there are usually 5 items, and when I click on one item, the details will be shown on the right, the details usually include 3 hosts. so this means the items are actually circuits and the 3 hosts are the entry, middle and exit node respectively? is it right? when I open the TBB, a page show that my ip address appears to be 77.109.139.87 but I cant find this ip address in the details of all circuits, what is wrong with this? besides, I enabled the function of exit node to make my machine as an exit relay, how can I find the connections that use my machine as exit relay? 2012/9/25 Sebastian G. bastik.tor bastik@googlemail.com esolve esolve: Generally there are three TOR nodes are being used by a TOR client, entry, middle and the exit where can I find the IPs of these three TOR nodes In the case you want to know what IP addresses you connected to to build a circuit. you can do this: Open Vidalia, then click on View the Network. You should see Connection and Status below a map. Click on any circuit to see their properties, which includes their IPs. (Please note that there's a bug that makes Vidalia report the same uptime for all relays) On the left you should see a relay list, where you can see where your client could potentially connect to; in the case you are interested in learning about the network in general.

[tor-talk] About path selection (or node selection) strategy in Tor
Hi, all: I notice that there are some papers/articles on path selection algorithms/strategies. But currently what is the path/node selection mechanism implemented in Tor? ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
