Re: [tor-relays] Recommendation for DUMB COMPUTING devices for Tor Relays

There a also some x86 mainboards which supported by coreboot. You could run your boot loader or kernel with initrd from the flash chip, if the capacity is big enough or you create your own embedded system with tor. And all works very well ... On 21.10.2016 17:56, Duncan Guthrie wrote: > If you

Hi there, More likely, they just compromise your relay in runtime. Reflashing the boot firmware is theoretical, but due to the huge variation in the hardware running Tor, I am not convinced using such an exploit on vast numbers of computers is entirely practical. Since relays are up for

Re: [tor-relays] Recommendation for DUMB COMPUTING devices for Tor Relays

Regardless of whether the Pi’s firmware can actually be updated or not – it’s probably not good for diversity to run the whole Tor network on a single kind of device: we don’t want every relay in the network to be compromised when a single flaw on the Pi is found. Performance might also suffer,

[tor-relays] Recommendation for DUMB COMPUTING devices for Tor Relays

The Tor Project website recommends various security setups for people running Tor relays. Such as, don't run a web browser on the same machine as your Tor relay, otherwise the browser could get hacked, and then if Tor relays are hacked, it compromises the entire concept of Tor. In the age of FBI
