#25089: Tor bundle: Special characters not escaped in proxy password --------------------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: ro0ter | Owner: (none) Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: - Select a component | Version: Severity: Major | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | --------------------------------------+-------------------- First of all, the proxy password (if any) is stored plain-text in the torc file (\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc)......
Using the pound character "#" inside the proxy password (line HTTPSProxyAuthenticator) will not save anything which is after the pound character (including the character). Some companies have a strict policy regarding passwords therefore it is required to use such characters (unfortunately I managed to get to this character as well, forced by the password expiry policy + old password policy). This is also reproducible with version 7.5 (2018-01-23 build) of Tor bundle. Currently I am unable to use Tor on my PC with my user+password. Is there an easy fix? Are there some escape characters? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25089> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
