Re: Tor configs
These are controlled by Torbutton's Preferences-Security Settings-Headers-Don't send referer during Tor usage option, which sets the appropriate Firefox settings. Thus spake zzzjethro...@email2me.net (zzzjethro...@email2me.net): Hello. I don't remember who originally sent me the link to cross check config settings for Firefox with Tor. I have been doing that cross checking fort my Mac, and noticed these two that are not there. They are as follows: I have -network.http.sendRefererHeader 0 and -network.http.sendSecureXSiteRefererfalse These values are both changed to 2 and true when I enable Torbutton. Aren't these configurations ways that web sites log and track users and shouldn't they remain 0 and false to keep one safe and anonymous?

Re: circuit construction timeout values
Thus spake Scott Bennett (benn...@cs.niu.edu): I've noticed something odd in info-level log messages that show circuit build timeout values being set. Given that the maximum length of circuit construction time history of 5000 construction times has already been reached, it seems weird to see huge jumps in the timeout values from one such message to the next. Here are two examples. So I'm wondering what is going on here. If the timeout being set is supposed to reflect some sort of smoothed values of a time series of circuit construction time, where the smoother is 5000 values wide, how can such jumps occur? I guess I don't understand what algorithm is being used here. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Hi Scott. There are a couple bugs in the algorithm used. One of the problems is that the Xm pareto value needs to be chosen a bit more intelligently to deal with samples coming from multiple guards. The other problem is that synthetic timeouts need to be clipped to a lower value. The algorithm is defined at https://gitweb.torproject.org//tor.git?a=blob;f=doc/spec/proposals/151-path-selection-improvements.txt;h=363eebae8423e4c25310dc28b6f2c232cf20e533;hb=HEAD (don't you love our nice, short, easy-to-understand-and-predict gitweb urls? ;) The bug to track this is at: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/1335 If you could upload the state file from that Tor to that ticket (after stripping out the EntryGuard info), that would give me another datapoint to test against, and to ensure that these are in fact the problems you are seeing. Even 65 is a bit high for a circuit timeout, so I suspect you are actually seeing both issues here. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs pgp4b3bBEHPFH.pgp Description: PGP signature
Washington DC Exit Node?
Hi, Are there any working exit nodes with an IP address in Washington DC? I have looked at http://torstatus.kgprog.com/ and found no DC exit nodes (there is one Washington State). However, rather than manually checking every single exit node from USA on ip2location.com can some one please tell me if they know of a DC exit node Thanks. -- Andrew De Souza andrew_de_so...@fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access your email from home and the web *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

Just have a look at my Kraut-tech tns site http://torstatus.blutmagie.de, filter to exit yes at page's bottom, view html source code and search for Washington. (ctrl-u and ctrl-f in Firefox). In normal browser view hovering the mouse pointer over a router's flag shows a tool tip with city and country code, and left clicking the flag opens the location on openstreetmap.org. regards Olaf *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
