[tor-relays] how sensitive is relay 'state' file?

2014-07-30 Thread starlight . 2014q3
Can anyone comment on how sensitive the information in the relay 'state' is? In particular, if entry guards are recorded in the file should one be concerned about protecting the file via a) encrypting the file system where it resides b) making a point of not backing up the file I suppose it come

Hi grarpamp. Actually we do have a rudimentary Sybil checker and it *did* pick up on those relays back in January... https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-consensus-health/2014-January/003954.html We had some internal discussions about them but the thread lost momentum before they were flagg

At this point the isp is clearly the victim! This guy doesn't have his own ips and ipv4 is rare, so risking a complete ip range to get on blacklists will be unacceptable for any company. I can fully understand them, because dealing with spamhaus mafia is a nightmare. Lets hope they wont getting tor

As a project then to production development, someone should go back through the entire history of descriptors and look for groups coming online... dates, IP's, contacts, tor/OS versions, nicknames, ISP's, geoip, numbers coming online over sliding timeframes, correlation to 'news events', etc. There

Let's not confuse two things, here. The customer wanting to host a Tor exit relay is a different service request than wanting to run a wide-open SMTP relay. No reputable ISP would agree to host an open SMTP relay and I'm sure this one did not knowingly do so. It would be unfortunate for ISPs

IMO, even relaying SMTP-like for the email which typically requires auth first isn't a great idea if there is any concern about an upstream getting abuse complaints about a relay (such as a leased box). A frequent way that spammers get their garbage out these days is to compromise a user ac

You somewhat made a mistake here - you've got to have an exit policy that (minimally) rejects ports 25 and 465, or else your relay becomes a giant abuse tool for spammers, scammers, and phishers instead of what you intended it to be (which was a standard-functioning Tor relay). You might tr
