Yep, also requiring the user to register (with a working email address) before being able to comment, and then manually moderating the first few comments by any newly registers user. This does sound like a lot of work, but can easily be farmed out to trusted users of your site who already value the site and would be more to help maintain the quality of the site.

Re: [tor-talk] Please help us...
Configure your message board software so all posts from Tor exit nodes IPs need to be moderator approved. It takes seconds per post for a mod to check and minutes for a malicious individual to post. If your message board software doesn't support this, just block all Tor exit nodes IPs for a week or so until the malicious individual gets bored.

Re: [tor-talk] Please help us...
Hi Just my 50 cent to this. I consider blocking of the network as an act of last resort. Instead you need to make the life for the spammer more difficult. Having a moderator might be a better idea. Maybe moderate just the incoming posts from suspect IPs. Blocking implies always to exclude legit traffic as well. This removes the freedom of a user. In my experience there are chances that he find another way around. Then you need to update the list againmakes your life more difficult. Hope this can help you. best regards akendo On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 10:58:31AM +, Sharif Olorin wrote: > Hi Colin, > > > They are using tor services to generate their multiple ips.

They might be. If you email the exit node operators[0] and let them know you're receiving abusive traffic via the web (port 80/443), and include the IP address(es) of your forum, they may be able to restrict their exit policy to block traffic to your server.

Hello, I am an Admin for a message board in the UK. We have a non-registration policy to allow free and open discussion about matters related to our football club, it has served us well in the past to keep the club in business and helps maintain transparency. Our admin roles call for us to periodically remove posts or ban user ips if they have broken our message board rules (not that we have many). That is all we can do - remove posts and ban ip ranges. This all normally works OK, however we have a recent particularly nasty individual that is constantly posting vile, racist, violent messages. The person is constantly changing ip and repeatedly posting material that is highly offensive and illegal. If you want an example of these abusive messages let me know, they usually contain descriptions of torture or death for particular ethnic or religious groups, it is exceedingly strange and nasty. We have no idea why they are targeting our football club message board. They are using tor services to generate their multiple ips. Recent exit nodes ips (is that the right terminology?) used on the 27/09/2015 have included: 194.150.168.95 192.99.154.24 85.10.210.199 92.222.113.177 178.20.55.18 They use many, many more ips to post the abuse, this is just a small selection.

[tor-talk] Please help evaluate WebRTC for Tor Browser safety
There seems to be a lot of interest in WebRTC Tor safety lately on this list. The simple https://diafygi.github.io/webrtc-ips/ PoC does not work against Tor Browser for two reasons: 1. We don't compile in WebRTC at all. 2. We set the pref 'media.peerconnection.enabled' to false. We would like to change property #1 so that it is easier to support QRCode-encoded bridge entry and bridge sharing in Tor Launcher (https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14837). In my testing, and according to Mozilla security engineers, it should be safe for us to compile WebRTC in and set media.peerconnection.enabled to false, but there may be other vectors to this code that we've all missed to date. Hence, this is a request to interested parties to try harder to bypass Tor in a stock Firefox using WebRTC and associated protocols (RTSP, SCTP) with media.peerconnection.enabled set to false. Again, the existing PoC fails in this case for me, but we need more in-depth tests.

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