Comment (by onirony): I'm working on a seccomp based torsocks that should eliminate issues of this sort. Syscalls in torsocks are explicitly whitelisted and getdents/getdents64 are not on the whitelist. getdents seems very harmless to me and I think it should be whitelisted. @ilf, in the meantime here is a patched torsocks that can run getdents and getdents64 (the syscall it's rejecting in your error message): https://github.com/seisvelas/torsocks/tree/getdent_fix The getdents code I used to test my patch is just the example from the Linux man page and can be found here: http://man7.org/linux/man- pages/man2/getdents.2.html#EXAMPLE When I compiled that getdents example code and attempted to run it through standard torsocks this happened: {{{ hc01@HC01:~$ /usr/bin/torsocks ./a.out [Dec 19 16:31:02] WARNING torsocks[16567]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number 78. Denying the call (in tsocks_syscall() at syscall.c:465) getdents: Function not implemented }}} Then, using my patched torsocks: {{{ hc01@HC01:~$ torsocks ./a.out --------------- nread=1008 --------------- i-node# file type d_reclen d_off d_name 23068679 directory 32 22651653883364612 .cache 23069803 directory 32 72324196525406672 .compiz ... }}} When I modified the code to use getdents64, I received the same error from torsocks. With my patch it ran properly. I'm going to bother David Goulet and set this ticket to 'needs review' to see if my patch is safe and can be accepted! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28861#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
