Changes in version 0.1.2.2-alpha - 2006-??-??
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Minor Bugfixes
|
2006-09-20 01:18:30 +02:00
|
|
|
- Small performance improvements on parsing descriptors.
|
|
|
|
- Major performance descriptor on inserting descriptors; change
|
|
|
|
algorithm from O(n^2) to O(n). [Mostly.]
|
2006-09-20 00:36:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- Make the common memory allocation path faster on machines where
|
|
|
|
malloc(0) returns a pointer.
|

Changes in version 0.1.2.1-alpha - 2006-08-27
|
|
|
|
o Major features:
|
|
|
|
- Add "eventdns" async dns library from Adam Langley, tweaked to
|
2006-08-27 09:26:00 +02:00
|
|
|
build on OSX and Windows. Only enabled if you pass the
|
|
|
|
--enable-eventdns argument to configure.
|
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- Allow servers with no hostname or IP address to learn their
|
|
|
|
IP address by asking the directory authorities. This code only
|
|
|
|
kicks in when you would normally have exited with a "no address"
|
|
|
|
error. Nothing's authenticated, so use with care.
|
|
|
|
- Rather than waiting a fixed amount of time between retrying
|
|
|
|
application connections, we wait only 5 seconds for the first,
|
|
|
|
10 seconds for the second, and 15 seconds for each retry after
|
|
|
|
that. Hopefully this will improve the expected user experience.
|
|
|
|
- Patch from Tup to add support for transparent AP connections:
|
|
|
|
this basically bundles the functionality of trans-proxy-tor
|
|
|
|
into the Tor mainline. Now hosts with compliant pf/netfilter
|
|
|
|
implementations can redirect TCP connections straight to Tor
|
|
|
|
without diverting through SOCKS. Needs docs.
|
|
|
|
- Busy directory servers save lots of memory by spooling server
|
|
|
|
descriptors, v1 directories, and v2 networkstatus docs to buffers
|
|
|
|
as needed rather than en masse. Also mmap the cached-routers
|
|
|
|
files, so we don't need to keep the whole thing in memory too.
|
|
|
|
- Automatically avoid picking more than one node from the same
|
|
|
|
/16 network when constructing a circuit.
|
|
|
|
- Revise and clean up the torrc.sample that we ship with; add
|
|
|
|
a section for BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Minor features:
|
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
|
|
|
- Split circuit_t into origin_circuit_t and or_circuit_t, and
|
|
|
|
split connection_t into edge, or, dir, control, and base structs.
|
|
|
|
These will save quite a bit of memory on busy servers, and they'll
|
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
|
|
|
also help us track down bugs in the code and bugs in the spec.
|
|
|
|
- Experimentally re-enable kqueue on OSX when using libevent 1.1b
|
|
|
|
or later. Log when we are doing this, so we can diagnose it when
|
|
|
|
it fails. (Also, recommend libevent 1.1b for kqueue and
|
|
|
|
win32 methods; deprecate libevent 1.0b harder; make libevent
|
|
|
|
recommendation system saner.)
|
|
|
|
- Start being able to build universal binaries on OS X (thanks
|
|
|
|
to Phobos).
|
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
|
|
|
- Export the default exit policy via the control port, so controllers
|
|
|
|
don't need to guess what it is / will be later.
|
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add a man page entry for ProtocolWarnings.
|
|
|
|
- Add TestVia config option to the man page.
|
|
|
|
- Remove even more protocol-related warnings from Tor server logs,
|
|
|
|
such as bad TLS handshakes and malformed begin cells.
|
|
|
|
- Stop fetching descriptors if you're not a dir mirror and you
|
|
|
|
haven't tried to establish any circuits lately. [This currently
|
|
|
|
causes some dangerous behavior, because when you start up again
|
|
|
|
you'll use your ancient server descriptors.]
|
|
|
|
- New DirPort behavior: if you have your dirport set, you download
|
|
|
|
descriptors aggressively like a directory mirror, whether or not
|
|
|
|
your ORPort is set.
|
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
|
|
|
- Get rid of the router_retry_connections notion. Now routers
|
|
|
|
no longer try to rebuild long-term connections to directory
|
|
|
|
authorities, and directory authorities no longer try to rebuild
|
|
|
|
long-term connections to all servers. We still don't hang up
|
|
|
|
connections in these two cases though -- we need to look at it
|
|
|
|
more carefully to avoid flapping, and we likely need to wait til
|
|
|
|
0.1.1.x is obsolete.
|
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- Drop compatibility with obsolete Tors that permit create cells
|
|
|
|
to have the wrong circ_id_type.
|
|
|
|
- Re-enable per-connection rate limiting. Get rid of the "OP
|
|
|
|
bandwidth" concept. Lay groundwork for "bandwidth classes" --
|
|
|
|
separate global buckets that apply depending on what sort of conn
|
|
|
|
it is.
|
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
|
|
|
- Start publishing one minute or so after we find our ORPort
|
|
|
|
to be reachable. This will help reduce the number of descriptors
|
|
|
|
we have for ourselves floating around, since it's quite likely
|
|
|
|
other things (e.g. DirPort) will change during that minute too.
|
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fork the v1 directory protocol into its own spec document,
|
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
|
|
|
and mark dir-spec.txt as the currently correct (v2) spec.
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
|
|
|
o Major bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- When we find our DirPort to be reachable, publish a new descriptor
|
|
|
|
so we'll tell the world (reported by pnx).
|
|
|
|
- Publish a new descriptor after we hup/reload. This is important
|
|
|
|
if our config has changed such that we'll want to start advertising
|
|
|
|
our DirPort now, etc.
|
|
|
|
- Allow Tor to start when RunAsDaemon is set but no logs are set.
|
|
|
|
- When we have a state file we cannot parse, tell the user and
|
|
|
|
move it aside. Now we avoid situations where the user starts
|
|
|
|
Tor in 1904, Tor writes a state file with that timestamp in it,
|
|
|
|
the user fixes her clock, and Tor refuses to start.
|
|
|
|
- Fix configure.in to not produce broken configure files with
|
|
|
|
more recent versions of autoconf. Thanks to Clint for his auto*
|
|
|
|
voodoo.
|
|
|
|
- "tor --verify-config" now exits with -1(255) or 0 depending on
|
|
|
|
whether the config options are bad or good.
|
|
|
|
- Resolve bug 321 when using dnsworkers: append a period to every
|
|
|
|
address we resolve at the exit node, so that we do not accidentally
|
|
|
|
pick up local addresses, and so that failing searches are retried
|
|
|
|
in the resolver search domains. (This is already solved for
|
|
|
|
eventdns.) (This breaks Blossom servers for now.)
|
|
|
|
- If we are using an exit enclave and we can't connect, e.g. because
|
|
|
|
its webserver is misconfigured to not listen on localhost, then
|
|
|
|
back off and try connecting from somewhere else before we fail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Minor bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Start compiling on MinGW on Windows (patches from Mike Chiussi).
|
|
|
|
- Start compiling on MSVC6 on Windows (patches from Frediano Ziglio).
|
|
|
|
- Fix bug 314: Tor clients issued "unsafe socks" warnings even
|
|
|
|
when the IP address is mapped through MapAddress to a hostname.
|
|
|
|
- Start passing "ipv4" hints to getaddrinfo(), so servers don't do
|
|
|
|
useless IPv6 DNS resolves.
|
|
|
|
- Patch suggested by Karsten Loesing: respond to SIGNAL command
|
|
|
|
before we execute the signal, in case the signal shuts us down.
|
|
|
|
- Clean up AllowInvalidNodes man page entry.
|
|
|
|
- Claim a commonname of Tor, rather than TOR, in TLS handshakes.
|
|
|
|
- Add more asserts to track down an assert error on a windows Tor
|
|
|
|
server with connection_add being called with socket == -1.
|
|
|
|
- Handle reporting OR_CONN_EVENT_NEW events to the controller.
|
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix misleading log messages: an entry guard that is "unlisted",
|
|
|
|
as well as not known to be "down" (because we've never heard
|
|
|
|
of it), is not therefore "up".
|
|
|
|
- Remove code to special-case "-cvs" ending, since it has not
|
|
|
|
actually mattered since 0.0.9.
|
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- Make our socks5 handling more robust to broken socks clients:
|
|
|
|
throw out everything waiting on the buffer in between socks
|
|
|
|
handshake phases, since they can't possibly (so the theory
|
|
|
|
goes) have predicted what we plan to respond to them.

|
|
|
Changes in version 0.1.1.23 - 2006-07-30
|
|
|
|
o Major bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fast Tor servers, especially exit nodes, were triggering asserts
|
|
|
|
due to a bug in handling the list of pending DNS resolves. Some
|
|
|
|
bugs still remain here; we're hunting them.
|
|
|
|
- Entry guards could crash clients by sending unexpected input.
|
|
|
|
- More fixes on reachability testing: if you find yourself reachable,
|
|
|
|
then don't ever make any client requests (so you stop predicting
|
|
|
|
circuits), then hup or have your clock jump, then later your IP
|
|
|
|
changes, you won't think circuits are working, so you won't try to
|
|
|
|
test reachability, so you won't publish.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Minor bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Avoid a crash if the controller does a resetconf firewallports
|
|
|
|
and then a setconf fascistfirewall=1.
|
|
|
|
- Avoid an integer underflow when the dir authority decides whether
|
|
|
|
a router is stable: we might wrongly label it stable, and compute
|
|
|
|
a slightly wrong median stability, when a descriptor is published
|
|
|
|
later than now.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a place where we might trigger an assert if we can't build our
|
|
|
|
own server descriptor yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

2006-07-06 18:19:00 +02:00

|
|
Changes in version 0.1.1.22 - 2006-07-05
|
|
|
|
o Major bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fix a big bug that was causing servers to not find themselves
|
|
|
|
reachable if they changed IP addresses. Since only 0.1.1.22+
|
|
|
|
servers can do reachability testing correctly, now we automatically
|
|
|
|
make sure to test via one of these.
|
|
|
|
- Fix to allow clients and mirrors to learn directory info from
|
|
|
|
descriptor downloads that get cut off partway through.
|
|
|
|
- Directory authorities had a bug in deciding if a newly published
|
|
|
|
descriptor was novel enough to make everybody want a copy -- a few
|
|
|
|
servers seem to be publishing new descriptors many times a minute.
|
|
|
|
o Minor bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fix a rare bug that was causing some servers to complain about
|
|
|
|
"closing wedged cpuworkers" and skip some circuit create requests.
|
|
|
|
- Make the Exit flag in directory status documents actually work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-06-11 03:42:21 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.1.1.21 - 2006-06-10
|
|
|
|
o Crash and assert fixes from 0.1.1.20:
|
|
|
|
- Fix a rare crash on Tor servers that have enabled hibernation.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a seg fault on startup for Tor networks that use only one
|
|
|
|
directory authority.
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assert from a race condition that occurs on Tor servers
|
|
|
|
while exiting, where various threads are trying to log that they're
|
|
|
|
exiting, and delete the logs, at the same time.
|
|
|
|
- Make our unit tests pass again on certain obscure platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Other fixes:
|
|
|
|
- Add support for building SUSE RPM packages.
|
|
|
|
- Speed up initial bootstrapping for clients: if we are making our
|
|
|
|
first ever connection to any entry guard, then don't mark it down
|
|
|
|
right after that.
|
|
|
|
- When only one Tor server in the network is labelled as a guard,
|
|
|
|
and we've already picked him, we would cycle endlessly picking him
|
|
|
|
again, being unhappy about it, etc. Now we specifically exclude
|
|
|
|
current guards when picking a new guard.
|
|
|
|
- Servers send create cells more reliably after the TLS connection
|
|
|
|
is established: we were sometimes forgetting to send half of them
|
|
|
|
when we had more than one pending.
|
|
|
|
- If we get a create cell that asks us to extend somewhere, but the
|
|
|
|
Tor server there doesn't match the expected digest, we now send
|
|
|
|
a destroy cell back, rather than silently doing nothing.
|
|
|
|
- Make options->RedirectExit work again.
|
|
|
|
- Make cookie authentication for the controller work again.
|
|
|
|
- Stop being picky about unusual characters in the arguments to
|
|
|
|
mapaddress. It's none of our business.
|
|
|
|
- Add a new config option "TestVia" that lets you specify preferred
|
|
|
|
middle hops to use for test circuits. Perhaps this will let me
|
|
|
|
debug the reachability problems better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Log / documentation fixes:
|
|
|
|
- If we're a server and some peer has a broken TLS certificate, don't
|
|
|
|
log about it unless ProtocolWarnings is set, i.e., we want to hear
|
|
|
|
about protocol violations by others.
|
|
|
|
- Fix spelling of VirtualAddrNetwork in man page.
|
|
|
|
- Add a better explanation at the top of the autogenerated torrc file
|
|
|
|
about what happened to our old torrc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.1.1.20 - 2006-05-23
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
o Crash and assert fixes from 0.1.0.17:
|
|
|
|
- Fix assert bug in close_logs() on exit: when we close and delete
|
|
|
|
logs, remove them all from the global "logfiles" list.
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assert error when we're out of space in the connection_list
|
|
|
|
and we try to post a hidden service descriptor (reported by Peter
|
|
|
|
Palfrader).
|
|
|
|
- Fix a rare assert error when we've tried all intro points for
|
|
|
|
a hidden service and we try fetching the service descriptor again:
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
"Assertion conn->state != AP_CONN_STATE_RENDDESC_WAIT failed".
|
|
|
|
- Setconf SocksListenAddress kills Tor if it fails to bind. Now back
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
out and refuse the setconf if it would fail.
|
|
|
|
- If you specify a relative torrc path and you set RunAsDaemon in
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
your torrc, then it chdir()'s to the new directory. If you then
|
|
|
|
HUP, it tries to load the new torrc location, fails, and exits.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
The fix: no longer allow a relative path to torrc when using -f.
|
|
|
|
- Check for integer overflows in more places, when adding elements
|
|
|
|
to smartlists. This could possibly prevent a buffer overflow
|
|
|
|
on malicious huge inputs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Security fixes, major:
|
|
|
|
- When we're printing strings from the network, don't try to print
|
|
|
|
non-printable characters. Now we're safer against shell escape
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
sequence exploits, and also against attacks to fool users into
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
misreading their logs.
|
|
|
|
- Implement entry guards: automatically choose a handful of entry
|
|
|
|
nodes and stick with them for all circuits. Only pick new guards
|
|
|
|
when the ones you have are unsuitable, and if the old guards
|
|
|
|
become suitable again, switch back. This will increase security
|
|
|
|
dramatically against certain end-point attacks. The EntryNodes
|
|
|
|
config option now provides some hints about which entry guards you
|
|
|
|
want to use most; and StrictEntryNodes means to only use those.
|
|
|
|
Fixes CVE-2006-0414.
|
|
|
|
- Implement exit enclaves: if we know an IP address for the
|
|
|
|
destination, and there's a running Tor server at that address
|
|
|
|
which allows exit to the destination, then extend the circuit to
|
|
|
|
that exit first. This provides end-to-end encryption and end-to-end
|
|
|
|
authentication. Also, if the user wants a .exit address or enclave,
|
|
|
|
use 4 hops rather than 3, and cannibalize a general circ for it
|
|
|
|
if you can.
|
|
|
|
- Obey our firewall options more faithfully:
|
|
|
|
. If we can't get to a dirserver directly, try going via Tor.
|
|
|
|
. Don't ever try to connect (as a client) to a place our
|
|
|
|
firewall options forbid.
|
|
|
|
. If we specify a proxy and also firewall options, obey the
|
|
|
|
firewall options even when we're using the proxy: some proxies
|
|
|
|
can only proxy to certain destinations.
|
|
|
|
- Make clients regenerate their keys when their IP address changes.
|
|
|
|
- For the OS X package's modified privoxy config file, comment
|
|
|
|
out the "logfile" line so we don't log everything passed
|
|
|
|
through privoxy.
|
|
|
|
- Our TLS handshakes were generating a single public/private
|
|
|
|
keypair for the TLS context, rather than making a new one for
|
|
|
|
each new connection. Oops. (But we were still rotating them
|
|
|
|
periodically, so it's not so bad.)
|
|
|
|
- When we were cannibalizing a circuit with a particular exit
|
|
|
|
node in mind, we weren't checking to see if that exit node was
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
already present earlier in the circuit. Now we are.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Require server descriptors to list IPv4 addresses -- hostnames
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
are no longer allowed. This also fixes potential vulnerabilities
|
|
|
|
to servers providing hostnames as their address and then
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
preferentially resolving them so they can partition users.
|
|
|
|
- Our logic to decide if the OR we connected to was the right guy
|
|
|
|
was brittle and maybe open to a mitm for invalid routers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Security fixes, minor:
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Adjust tor-spec.txt to parameterize cell and key lengths. Now
|
|
|
|
Ian Goldberg can prove things about our handshake protocol more
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
easily.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Make directory authorities generate a separate "guard" flag to
|
|
|
|
mean "would make a good entry guard". Clients now honor the
|
|
|
|
is_guard flag rather than looking at is_fast or is_stable.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Try to list MyFamily elements by key, not by nickname, and warn
|
|
|
|
if we've not heard of a server.
|
|
|
|
- Start using RAND_bytes rather than RAND_pseudo_bytes from
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL. Also, reseed our entropy every hour, not just at
|
|
|
|
startup. And add entropy in 512-bit chunks, not 160-bit chunks.
|
|
|
|
- Refuse server descriptors where the fingerprint line doesn't match
|
|
|
|
the included identity key. Tor doesn't care, but other apps (and
|
|
|
|
humans) might actually be trusting the fingerprint line.
|
|
|
|
- We used to kill the circuit when we receive a relay command we
|
|
|
|
don't recognize. Now we just drop that cell.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a bug found by Lasse Overlier: when we were making internal
|
|
|
|
circuits (intended to be cannibalized later for rendezvous and
|
|
|
|
introduction circuits), we were picking them so that they had
|
|
|
|
useful exit nodes. There was no need for this, and it actually
|
|
|
|
aids some statistical attacks.
|
|
|
|
- Start treating internal circuits and exit circuits separately.
|
|
|
|
It's important to keep them separate because internal circuits
|
|
|
|
have their last hops picked like middle hops, rather than like
|
|
|
|
exit hops. So exiting on them will break the user's expectations.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix a possible way to DoS dirservers.
|
|
|
|
- When the client asked for a rendezvous port that the hidden
|
|
|
|
service didn't want to provide, we were sending an IP address
|
|
|
|
back along with the end cell. Fortunately, it was zero. But stop
|
|
|
|
that anyway.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Packaging improvements:
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Implement --with-libevent-dir option to ./configure. Improve
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
search techniques to find libevent, and use those for openssl too.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix a couple of bugs in OpenSSL detection. Deal better when
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
there are multiple SSLs installed with different versions.
|
|
|
|
- Avoid warnings about machine/limits.h on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- On non-gcc compilers (e.g. Solaris's cc), use "-g -O" instead of
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
"-Wall -g -O2".
|
|
|
|
- Make unit tests (and other invocations that aren't the real Tor)
|
|
|
|
run without launching listeners, creating subdirectories, and so on.
|
|
|
|
- The OS X installer was adding a symlink for tor_resolve but
|
|
|
|
the binary was called tor-resolve (reported by Thomas Hardly).
|
|
|
|
- Now we can target arch and OS in rpm builds (contributed by
|
|
|
|
Phobos). Also make the resulting dist-rpm filename match the
|
|
|
|
target arch.
|
|
|
|
- Apply Matt Ghali's --with-syslog-facility patch to ./configure
|
|
|
|
if you log to syslog and want something other than LOG_DAEMON.
|
|
|
|
- Fix the torify (tsocks) config file to not use Tor for localhost
|
|
|
|
connections.
|
|
|
|
- Start shipping socks-extensions.txt, tor-doc-unix.html,
|
|
|
|
tor-doc-server.html, and stylesheet.css in the tarball.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Stop shipping tor-doc.html, INSTALL, and README in the tarball.
|
|
|
|
They are useless now.
|
|
|
|
- Add Peter Palfrader's contributed check-tor script. It lets you
|
|
|
|
easily check whether a given server (referenced by nickname)
|
|
|
|
is reachable by you.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add BSD-style contributed startup script "rc.subr" from Peter
|
|
|
|
Thoenen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Directory improvements -- new directory protocol:
|
|
|
|
- See tor/doc/dir-spec.txt for all the juicy details. Key points:
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Authorities and caches publish individual descriptors (by
|
|
|
|
digest, by fingerprint, by "all", and by "tell me yours").
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Clients don't download or use the old directory anymore. Now they
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
download network-statuses from the directory authorities, and
|
|
|
|
fetch individual server descriptors as needed from mirrors.
|
|
|
|
- Clients don't download descriptors of non-running servers.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Download descriptors by digest, not by fingerprint. Caches try to
|
|
|
|
download all listed digests from authorities; clients try to
|
|
|
|
download "best" digests from caches. This avoids partitioning
|
|
|
|
and isolating attacks better.
|
|
|
|
- Only upload a new server descriptor when options change, 18
|
|
|
|
hours have passed, uptime is reset, or bandwidth changes a lot.
|
|
|
|
- Directory authorities silently throw away new descriptors that
|
|
|
|
haven't changed much if the timestamps are similar. We do this to
|
|
|
|
tolerate older Tor servers that upload a new descriptor every 15
|
|
|
|
minutes. (It seemed like a good idea at the time.)
|
|
|
|
- Clients choose directory servers from the network status lists,
|
|
|
|
not from their internal list of router descriptors. Now they can
|
|
|
|
go to caches directly rather than needing to go to authorities
|
|
|
|
to bootstrap the first set of descriptors.
|
|
|
|
- When picking a random directory, prefer non-authorities if any
|
|
|
|
are known.
|
|
|
|
- Add a new flag to network-status indicating whether the server
|
|
|
|
can answer v2 directory requests too.
|
|
|
|
- Directory mirrors now cache up to 16 unrecognized network-status
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
docs, so new directory authorities will be cached too.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Stop parsing, storing, or using running-routers output (but
|
|
|
|
mirrors still cache and serve it).
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Clients consider a threshold of "versioning" directory authorities
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
before deciding whether to warn the user that he's obsolete.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Authorities publish separate sorted lists of recommended versions
|
|
|
|
for clients and for servers.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Change DirServers config line to note which dirs are v1 authorities.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Put nicknames on the DirServer line, so we can refer to them
|
|
|
|
without requiring all our users to memorize their IP addresses.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Remove option when getting directory cache to see whether they
|
|
|
|
support running-routers; they all do now. Replace it with one
|
|
|
|
to see whether caches support v2 stuff.
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Stop listing down or invalid nodes in the v1 directory. This
|
|
|
|
reduces its bulk by about 1/3, and reduces load on mirrors.
|
|
|
|
- Mirrors no longer cache the v1 directory as often.
|
|
|
|
- If we as a directory mirror don't know of any v1 directory
|
|
|
|
authorities, then don't try to cache any v1 directories.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
o Other directory improvements:
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add lefkada.eecs.harvard.edu and tor.dizum.com as fourth and
|
|
|
|
fifth authoritative directory servers.
|
|
|
|
- Directory authorities no longer require an open connection from
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
a server to consider him "reachable". We need this change because
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
when we add new directory authorities, old servers won't know not
|
|
|
|
to hang up on them.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Dir authorities now do their own external reachability testing
|
|
|
|
of each server, and only list as running the ones they found to
|
|
|
|
be reachable. We also send back warnings to the server's logs if
|
|
|
|
it uploads a descriptor that we already believe is unreachable.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Spread the directory authorities' reachability testing over the
|
|
|
|
entire testing interval, so we don't try to do 500 TLS's at once
|
|
|
|
every 20 minutes.
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Make the "stable" router flag in network-status be the median of
|
|
|
|
the uptimes of running valid servers, and make clients pay
|
|
|
|
attention to the network-status flags. Thus the cutoff adapts
|
|
|
|
to the stability of the network as a whole, making IRC, IM, etc
|
|
|
|
connections more reliable.
|
|
|
|
- Make the v2 dir's "Fast" flag based on relative capacity, just
|
|
|
|
like "Stable" is based on median uptime. Name everything in the
|
|
|
|
top 7/8 Fast, and only the top 1/2 gets to be a Guard.
|
|
|
|
- Retry directory requests if we fail to get an answer we like
|
|
|
|
from a given dirserver (we were retrying before, but only if
|
|
|
|
we fail to connect).
|
|
|
|
- Return a robots.txt on our dirport to discourage google indexing.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
o Controller protocol improvements:
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Revised controller protocol (version 1) that uses ascii rather
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
than binary: tor/doc/control-spec.txt. Add supporting libraries
|
|
|
|
in python and java and c# so you can use the controller from your
|
|
|
|
applications without caring how our protocol works.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Allow the DEBUG controller event to work again. Mark certain log
|
|
|
|
entries as "don't tell this to controllers", so we avoid cycles.
|
|
|
|
- New controller function "getinfo accounting", to ask how
|
|
|
|
many bytes we've used in this time period.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add a "resetconf" command so you can set config options like
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
AllowUnverifiedNodes and LongLivedPorts to "". Also, if you give
|
|
|
|
a config option in the torrc with no value, then it clears it
|
|
|
|
entirely (rather than setting it to its default).
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add a "getinfo config-file" to tell us where torrc is. Also
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
expose guard nodes, config options/names.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add a "quit" command (when when using the controller manually).
|
|
|
|
- Add a new signal "newnym" to "change pseudonyms" -- that is, to
|
|
|
|
stop using any currently-dirty circuits for new streams, so we
|
|
|
|
don't link new actions to old actions. This also occurs on HUP
|
|
|
|
or "signal reload".
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- If we would close a stream early (e.g. it asks for a .exit that
|
|
|
|
we know would refuse it) but the LeaveStreamsUnattached config
|
|
|
|
option is set by the controller, then don't close it.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add a new controller event type "authdir_newdescs" that allows
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
controllers to get all server descriptors that were uploaded to
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
a router in its role as directory authority.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- New controller option "getinfo desc/all-recent" to fetch the
|
|
|
|
latest server descriptor for every router that Tor knows about.
|
|
|
|
- Fix the controller's "attachstream 0" command to treat conn like
|
|
|
|
it just connected, doing address remapping, handling .exit and
|
|
|
|
.onion idioms, and so on. Now we're more uniform in making sure
|
|
|
|
that the controller hears about new and closing connections.
|
|
|
|
- Permit transitioning from ORPort==0 to ORPort!=0, and back, from
|
|
|
|
the controller. Also, rotate dns and cpu workers if the controller
|
|
|
|
changes options that will affect them; and initialize the dns
|
|
|
|
worker cache tree whether or not we start out as a server.
|
|
|
|
- Add a new circuit purpose 'controller' to let the controller ask
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
for a circuit that Tor won't try to use. Extend the "extendcircuit"
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
controller command to let you specify the purpose if you're starting
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
a new circuit. Add a new "setcircuitpurpose" controller command to
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
let you change a circuit's purpose after it's been created.
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Let the controller ask for "getinfo dir/server/foo" so it can ask
|
|
|
|
directly rather than connecting to the dir port. "getinfo
|
|
|
|
dir/status/foo" also works, but currently only if your DirPort
|
|
|
|
is enabled.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Let the controller tell us about certain router descriptors
|
|
|
|
that it doesn't want Tor to use in circuits. Implement
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
"setrouterpurpose" and modify "+postdescriptor" to do this.
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- If the controller's *setconf commands fail, collect an error
|
|
|
|
message in a string and hand it back to the controller -- don't
|
|
|
|
just tell them to go read their logs.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Scalability, resource management, and performance:
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix a major load balance bug: we were round-robin reading in 16 KB
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
chunks, and servers with bandwidthrate of 20 KB, while downloading
|
|
|
|
a 600 KB directory, would starve their other connections. Now we
|
|
|
|
try to be a bit more fair.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Be more conservative about whether to advertise our DirPort.
|
|
|
|
The main change is to not advertise if we're running at capacity
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
and either a) we could hibernate ever or b) our capacity is low
|
|
|
|
and we're using a default DirPort.
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- We weren't cannibalizing circuits correctly for
|
|
|
|
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_ESTABLISH_REND and
|
|
|
|
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_S_ESTABLISH_INTRO, so we were being forced to
|
|
|
|
build those from scratch. This should make hidden services faster.
|
|
|
|
- Predict required circuits better, with an eye toward making hidden
|
|
|
|
services faster on the service end.
|
|
|
|
- Compress exit policies even more: look for duplicate lines and
|
|
|
|
remove them.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Generate 18.0.0.0/8 address policy format in descs when we can;
|
|
|
|
warn when the mask is not reducible to a bit-prefix.
|
|
|
|
- There used to be two ways to specify your listening ports in a
|
|
|
|
server descriptor: on the "router" line and with a separate "ports"
|
|
|
|
line. Remove support for the "ports" line.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Reduce memory requirements in our structs by changing the order
|
|
|
|
of fields. Replace balanced trees with hash tables. Inline
|
|
|
|
bottleneck smartlist functions. Add a "Map from digest to void*"
|
|
|
|
abstraction so we can do less hex encoding/decoding, and use it
|
|
|
|
in router_get_by_digest(). Many other CPU and memory improvements.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Allow tor_gzip_uncompress to extract as much as possible from
|
|
|
|
truncated compressed data. Try to extract as many
|
|
|
|
descriptors as possible from truncated http responses (when
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
purpose is DIR_PURPOSE_FETCH_ROUTERDESC).
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Make circ->onionskin a pointer, not a static array. moria2 was using
|
|
|
|
125000 circuit_t's after it had been up for a few weeks, which
|
|
|
|
translates to 20+ megs of wasted space.
|
|
|
|
- The private half of our EDH handshake keys are now chosen out
|
|
|
|
of 320 bits, not 1024 bits. (Suggested by Ian Goldberg.)
|
|
|
|
- Stop doing the complex voodoo overkill checking for insecure
|
|
|
|
Diffie-Hellman keys. Just check if it's in [2,p-2] and be happy.
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Do round-robin writes for TLS of at most 16 kB per write. This
|
|
|
|
might be more fair on loaded Tor servers.
|
|
|
|
- Do not use unaligned memory access on alpha, mips, or mipsel.
|
|
|
|
It *works*, but is very slow, so we treat them as if it doesn't.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Other bugfixes and improvements:
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Start storing useful information to $DATADIR/state, so we can
|
|
|
|
remember things across invocations of Tor. Retain unrecognized
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
lines so we can be forward-compatible, and write a TorVersion line
|
|
|
|
so we can be backward-compatible.
|
|
|
|
- If ORPort is set, Address is not explicitly set, and our hostname
|
|
|
|
resolves to a private IP address, try to use an interface address
|
|
|
|
if it has a public address. Now Windows machines that think of
|
|
|
|
themselves as localhost can guess their address.
|
|
|
|
- Regenerate our local descriptor if it's dirty and we try to use
|
|
|
|
it locally (e.g. if it changes during reachability detection).
|
|
|
|
This was causing some Tor servers to keep publishing the same
|
|
|
|
initial descriptor forever.
|
|
|
|
- Tor servers with dynamic IP addresses were needing to wait 18
|
|
|
|
hours before they could start doing reachability testing using
|
|
|
|
the new IP address and ports. This is because they were using
|
|
|
|
the internal descriptor to learn what to test, yet they were only
|
|
|
|
rebuilding the descriptor once they decided they were reachable.
|
|
|
|
- It turns out we couldn't bootstrap a network since we added
|
|
|
|
reachability detection in 0.1.0.1-rc. Good thing the Tor network
|
|
|
|
has never gone down. Add an AssumeReachable config option to let
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
servers and authorities bootstrap. When we're trying to build a
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
high-uptime or high-bandwidth circuit but there aren't enough
|
|
|
|
suitable servers, try being less picky rather than simply failing.
|
|
|
|
- Newly bootstrapped Tor networks couldn't establish hidden service
|
|
|
|
circuits until they had nodes with high uptime. Be more tolerant.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Really busy servers were keeping enough circuits open on stable
|
|
|
|
connections that they were wrapping around the circuit_id
|
|
|
|
space. (It's only two bytes.) This exposed a bug where we would
|
|
|
|
feel free to reuse a circuit_id even if it still exists but has
|
|
|
|
been marked for close. Try to fix this bug. Some bug remains.
|
|
|
|
- When we fail to bind or listen on an incoming or outgoing
|
|
|
|
socket, we now close it before refusing, rather than just
|
|
|
|
leaking it. (Thanks to Peter Palfrader for finding.)
|
|
|
|
- Fix a file descriptor leak in start_daemon().
|
|
|
|
- On Windows, you can't always reopen a port right after you've
|
|
|
|
closed it. So change retry_listeners() to only close and re-open
|
|
|
|
ports that have changed.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Workaround a problem with some http proxies that refuse GET
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
requests that specify "Content-Length: 0". Reported by Adrian.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Recover better from TCP connections to Tor servers that are
|
|
|
|
broken but don't tell you (it happens!); and rotate TLS
|
|
|
|
connections once a week.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a scary-looking but apparently harmless bug where circuits
|
|
|
|
would sometimes start out in state CIRCUIT_STATE_OR_WAIT at
|
|
|
|
servers, and never switch to state CIRCUIT_STATE_OPEN.
|
|
|
|
- Check for even more Windows version flags when writing the platform
|
|
|
|
string in server descriptors, and note any we don't recognize.
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add reasons to DESTROY and RELAY_TRUNCATED cells, so clients can
|
|
|
|
get a better idea of why their circuits failed. Not used yet.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add TTLs to RESOLVED, CONNECTED, and END_REASON_EXITPOLICY cells.
|
|
|
|
We don't use them yet, but maybe one day our DNS resolver will be
|
|
|
|
able to discover them.
|
|
|
|
- Let people type "tor --install" as well as "tor -install" when they
|
|
|
|
want to make it an NT service.
|
|
|
|
- Looks like we were never delivering deflated (i.e. compressed)
|
|
|
|
running-routers lists, even when asked. Oops.
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- We were leaking some memory every time the client changed IPs.
|
|
|
|
- Clean up more of the OpenSSL memory when exiting, so we can detect
|
|
|
|
memory leaks better.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Never call free() on tor_malloc()d memory. This will help us
|
|
|
|
use dmalloc to detect memory leaks.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Some Tor servers process billions of cells per day. These
|
|
|
|
statistics are now uint64_t's.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Check [X-]Forwarded-For headers in HTTP requests when generating
|
|
|
|
log messages. This lets people run dirservers (and caches) behind
|
|
|
|
Apache but still know which IP addresses are causing warnings.
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix minor integer overflow in calculating when we expect to use up
|
|
|
|
our bandwidth allocation before hibernating.
|
|
|
|
- Lower the minimum required number of file descriptors to 1000,
|
|
|
|
so we can have some overhead for Valgrind on Linux, where the
|
|
|
|
default ulimit -n is 1024.
|
|
|
|
- Stop writing the "router.desc" file, ever. Nothing uses it anymore,
|
|
|
|
and its existence is confusing some users.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Config option fixes:
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add a new config option ExitPolicyRejectPrivate which defaults
|
|
|
|
to on. Now all exit policies will begin with rejecting private
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
addresses, unless the server operator explicitly turns it off.
|
|
|
|
- Bump the default bandwidthrate to 3 MB, and burst to 6 MB.
|
|
|
|
- Add new ReachableORAddresses and ReachableDirAddresses options
|
|
|
|
that understand address policies. FascistFirewall is now a synonym
|
|
|
|
for "ReachableORAddresses *:443", "ReachableDirAddresses *:80".
|
|
|
|
- Start calling it FooListenAddress rather than FooBindAddress,
|
|
|
|
since few of our users know what it means to bind an address
|
|
|
|
or port.
|
|
|
|
- If the user gave Tor an odd number of command-line arguments,
|
|
|
|
we were silently ignoring the last one. Now we complain and fail.
|
|
|
|
This wins the oldest-bug prize -- this bug has been present since
|
|
|
|
November 2002, as released in Tor 0.0.0.
|
|
|
|
- If you write "HiddenServicePort 6667 127.0.0.1 6668" in your
|
|
|
|
torrc rather than "HiddenServicePort 6667 127.0.0.1:6668",
|
|
|
|
it would silently ignore the 6668.
|
|
|
|
- If we get a linelist or linelist_s config option from the torrc,
|
|
|
|
e.g. ExitPolicy, and it has no value, warn and skip rather than
|
|
|
|
silently resetting it to its default.
|
|
|
|
- Setconf was appending items to linelists, not clearing them.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add MyFamily to torrc.sample in the server section, so operators
|
|
|
|
will be more likely to learn that it exists.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Make ContactInfo mandatory for authoritative directory servers.
|
|
|
|
- MaxConn has been obsolete for a while now. Document the ConnLimit
|
|
|
|
config option, which is a *minimum* number of file descriptors
|
|
|
|
that must be available else Tor refuses to start.
|
|
|
|
- Get rid of IgnoreVersion undocumented config option, and make us
|
|
|
|
only warn, never exit, when we're running an obsolete version.
|
|
|
|
- Make MonthlyAccountingStart config option truly obsolete now.
|
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Correct the man page entry on TrackHostExitsExpire.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Let directory authorities start even if they don't specify an
|
|
|
|
Address config option.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Change "AllowUnverifiedNodes" to "AllowInvalidNodes", to
|
|
|
|
reflect the updated flags in our v2 dir protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Config option features:
|
|
|
|
- Add a new config option FastFirstHopPK (on by default) so clients
|
|
|
|
do a trivial crypto handshake for their first hop, since TLS has
|
|
|
|
already taken care of confidentiality and authentication.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Let the user set ControlListenAddress in the torrc. This can be
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
dangerous, but there are some cases (like a secured LAN) where it
|
|
|
|
makes sense.
|
|
|
|
- New config options to help controllers: FetchServerDescriptors
|
|
|
|
and FetchHidServDescriptors for whether to fetch server
|
|
|
|
info and hidserv info or let the controller do it, and
|
|
|
|
PublishServerDescriptor and PublishHidServDescriptors.
|
|
|
|
- Also let the controller set the __AllDirActionsPrivate config
|
|
|
|
option if you want all directory fetches/publishes to happen via
|
|
|
|
Tor (it assumes your controller bootstraps your circuits).
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add "HardwareAccel" config option: support for crypto hardware
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
accelerators via OpenSSL. Off by default, until we find somebody
|
|
|
|
smart who can test it for us. (It appears to produce seg faults
|
|
|
|
in at least some cases.)
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- New config option "AuthDirRejectUnlisted" for directory authorities
|
|
|
|
as a panic button: if we get flooded with unusable servers we can
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
revert to only listing servers in the approved-routers file.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Directory authorities can now reject/invalidate by key and IP,
|
|
|
|
with the config options "AuthDirInvalid" and "AuthDirReject", or
|
|
|
|
by marking a fingerprint as "!reject" or "!invalid" (as its
|
|
|
|
nickname) in the approved-routers file. This is useful since
|
|
|
|
currently we automatically list servers as running and usable
|
|
|
|
even if we know they're jerks.
|
|
|
|
- Add a new config option TestSocks so people can see whether their
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
applications are using socks4, socks4a, socks5-with-ip, or
|
|
|
|
socks5-with-fqdn. This way they don't have to keep mucking
|
|
|
|
with tcpdump and wondering if something got cached somewhere.
|
|
|
|
- Add "private:*" as an alias in configuration for policies. Now
|
|
|
|
you can simplify your exit policy rather than needing to list
|
|
|
|
every single internal or nonroutable network space.
|
|
|
|
- Accept "private:*" in routerdesc exit policies; not generated yet
|
|
|
|
because older Tors do not understand it.
|
|
|
|
- Add configuration option "V1AuthoritativeDirectory 1" which
|
|
|
|
moria1, moria2, and tor26 have set.
|
|
|
|
- Implement an option, VirtualAddrMask, to set which addresses
|
|
|
|
get handed out in response to mapaddress requests. This works
|
|
|
|
around a bug in tsocks where 127.0.0.0/8 is never socksified.
|
|
|
|
- Add a new config option FetchUselessDescriptors, off by default,
|
|
|
|
for when you plan to run "exitlist" on your client and you want
|
|
|
|
to know about even the non-running descriptors.
|
|
|
|
- SocksTimeout: How long do we let a socks connection wait
|
|
|
|
unattached before we fail it?
|
|
|
|
- CircuitBuildTimeout: Cull non-open circuits that were born
|
|
|
|
at least this many seconds ago.
|
|
|
|
- CircuitIdleTimeout: Cull open clean circuits that were born
|
|
|
|
at least this many seconds ago.
|
|
|
|
- New config option SafeSocks to reject all application connections
|
|
|
|
using unsafe socks protocols. Defaults to off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Improved and clearer log messages:
|
|
|
|
- Reduce clutter in server logs. We're going to try to make
|
|
|
|
them actually usable now. New config option ProtocolWarnings that
|
|
|
|
lets you hear about how _other Tors_ are breaking the protocol. Off
|
|
|
|
by default.
|
|
|
|
- Divide log messages into logging domains. Once we put some sort
|
|
|
|
of interface on this, it will let people looking at more verbose
|
|
|
|
log levels specify the topics they want to hear more about.
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Log server fingerprint on startup, so new server operators don't
|
|
|
|
have to go hunting around their filesystem for it.
|
|
|
|
- Provide dire warnings to any users who set DirServer manually;
|
|
|
|
move it out of torrc.sample and into torrc.complete.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Make the log message less scary when all the dirservers are
|
|
|
|
temporarily unreachable.
|
|
|
|
- When tor_socketpair() fails in Windows, give a reasonable
|
|
|
|
Windows-style errno back.
|
|
|
|
- Improve tor_gettimeofday() granularity on windows.
|
|
|
|
- We were printing the number of idle dns workers incorrectly when
|
|
|
|
culling them.
|
|
|
|
- Handle duplicate lines in approved-routers files without warning.
|
|
|
|
- We were whining about using socks4 or socks5-with-local-lookup
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
even when it's an IP address in the "virtual" range we designed
|
|
|
|
exactly for this case.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Check for named servers when looking them up by nickname;
|
|
|
|
warn when we're calling a non-named server by its nickname;
|
|
|
|
don't warn twice about the same name.
|
|
|
|
- Downgrade the dirserver log messages when whining about
|
|
|
|
unreachability.
|
|
|
|
- Correct "your server is reachable" log entries to indicate that
|
|
|
|
it was self-testing that told us so.
|
|
|
|
- If we're trying to be a Tor server and running Windows 95/98/ME
|
|
|
|
as a server, explain that we'll likely crash.
|
|
|
|
- Provide a more useful warn message when our onion queue gets full:
|
|
|
|
the CPU is too slow or the exit policy is too liberal.
|
|
|
|
- Don't warn when we receive a 503 from a dirserver/cache -- this
|
|
|
|
will pave the way for them being able to refuse if they're busy.
|
|
|
|
- When we fail to bind a listener, try to provide a more useful
|
|
|
|
log message: e.g., "Is Tor already running?"
|
|
|
|
- Only start testing reachability once we've established a
|
|
|
|
circuit. This will make startup on dir authorities less noisy.
|
|
|
|
- Don't try to upload hidden service descriptors until we have
|
|
|
|
established a circuit.
|
|
|
|
- Tor didn't warn when it failed to open a log file.
|
|
|
|
- Warn when listening on a public address for socks. We suspect a
|
|
|
|
lot of people are setting themselves up as open socks proxies,
|
|
|
|
and they have no idea that jerks on the Internet are using them,
|
|
|
|
since they simply proxy the traffic into the Tor network.
|
|
|
|
- Give a useful message when people run Tor as the wrong user,
|
|
|
|
rather than telling them to start chowning random directories.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a harmless bug that was causing Tor servers to log
|
|
|
|
"Got an end because of misc error, but we're not an AP. Closing."
|
|
|
|
- Fix wrong log message when you add a "HiddenServiceNodes" config
|
|
|
|
line without any HiddenServiceDir line (reported by Chris Thomas).
|
2006-05-23 19:00:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- Directory authorities now stop whining so loudly about bad
|
|
|
|
descriptors that they fetch from other dirservers. So when there's
|
|
|
|
a log complaint, it's for sure from a freshly uploaded descriptor.
|
2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- When logging via syslog, include the pid whenever we provide
|
|
|
|
a log entry. Suggested by Todd Fries.
|
|
|
|
- When we're shutting down and we do something like try to post a
|
|
|
|
server descriptor or rendezvous descriptor, don't complain that
|
|
|
|
we seem to be unreachable. Of course we are, we're shutting down.
|
|
|
|
- Change log line for unreachability to explicitly suggest /etc/hosts
|
|
|
|
as the culprit. Also make it clearer what IP address and ports we're
|
|
|
|
testing for reachability.
|
|
|
|
- Put quotes around user-supplied strings when logging so users are
|
|
|
|
more likely to realize if they add bad characters (like quotes)
|
|
|
|
to the torrc.
|
|
|
|
- NT service patch from Matt Edman to improve error messages on Win32.

|
|
|
Changes in version 0.1.0.17 - 2006-02-17
|
|
|
|
o Crash bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
|
|
|
|
- When servers with a non-zero DirPort came out of hibernation,
|
|
|
|
sometimes they would trigger an assert.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Other important bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- On platforms that don't have getrlimit (like Windows), we were
|
|
|
|
artificially constraining ourselves to a max of 1024
|
|
|
|
connections. Now just assume that we can handle as many as 15000
|
|
|
|
connections. Hopefully this won't cause other problems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Backported features:
|
|
|
|
- When we're a server, a client asks for an old-style directory,
|
|
|
|
and our write bucket is empty, don't give it to him. This way
|
|
|
|
small servers can continue to serve the directory *sometimes*,
|
|
|
|
without getting overloaded.
|
|
|
|
- Whenever you get a 503 in response to a directory fetch, try
|
|
|
|
once more. This will become important once servers start sending
|
|
|
|
503's whenever they feel busy.
|
|
|
|
- Fetch a new directory every 120 minutes, not every 40 minutes.
|
|
|
|
Now that we have hundreds of thousands of users running the old
|
|
|
|
directory algorithm, it's starting to hurt a lot.
|
|
|
|
- Bump up the period for forcing a hidden service descriptor upload
|
|
|
|
from 20 minutes to 1 hour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-01-03 06:32:21 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.1.0.16 - 2006-01-02
|
|
|
|
o Crash bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
|
|
|
|
- On Windows, build with a libevent patch from "I-M Weasel" to avoid
|
|
|
|
corrupting the heap, losing FDs, or crashing when we need to resize
|
|
|
|
the fd_sets. (This affects the Win32 binaries, not Tor's sources.)
|
|
|
|
- It turns out sparc64 platforms crash on unaligned memory access
|
|
|
|
too -- so detect and avoid this.
|
|
|
|
- Handle truncated compressed data correctly (by detecting it and
|
|
|
|
giving an error).
|
|
|
|
- Fix possible-but-unlikely free(NULL) in control.c.
|
|
|
|
- When we were closing connections, there was a rare case that
|
|
|
|
stomped on memory, triggering seg faults and asserts.
|
|
|
|
- Avoid potential infinite recursion when building a descriptor. (We
|
|
|
|
don't know that it ever happened, but better to fix it anyway.)
|
|
|
|
- We were neglecting to unlink marked circuits from soon-to-close OR
|
|
|
|
connections, which caused some rare scribbling on freed memory.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a memory stomping race bug when closing the joining point of two
|
|
|
|
rendezvous circuits.
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assert in time parsing found by Steven Murdoch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Other bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
|
|
|
|
- When we're doing reachability testing, provide more useful log
|
|
|
|
messages so the operator knows what to expect.
|
|
|
|
- Do not check whether DirPort is reachable when we are suppressing
|
|
|
|
advertising it because of hibernation.
|
|
|
|
- When building with -static or on Solaris, we sometimes needed -ldl.
|
|
|
|
- One of the dirservers (tor26) changed its IP address.
|
|
|
|
- When we're deciding whether a stream has enough circuits around
|
|
|
|
that can handle it, count the freshly dirty ones and not the ones
|
|
|
|
that are so dirty they won't be able to handle it.
|
|
|
|
- When we're expiring old circuits, we had a logic error that caused
|
|
|
|
us to close new rendezvous circuits rather than old ones.
|
|
|
|
- Give a more helpful log message when you try to change ORPort via
|
|
|
|
the controller: you should upgrade Tor if you want that to work.
|
|
|
|
- We were failing to parse Tor versions that start with "Tor ".
|
|
|
|
- Tolerate faulty streams better: when a stream fails for reason
|
|
|
|
exitpolicy, stop assuming that the router is lying about his exit
|
|
|
|
policy. When a stream fails for reason misc, allow it to retry just
|
|
|
|
as if it was resolvefailed. When a stream has failed three times,
|
|
|
|
reset its failure count so we can try again and get all three tries.

Changes in version 0.1.0.15 - 2005-09-23
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
|
|
|
|
- Reject ports 465 and 587 (spam targets) in default exit policy.
|
|
|
|
- Don't crash when we don't have any spare file descriptors and we
|
|
|
|
try to spawn a dns or cpu worker.
|
|
|
|
- Get rid of IgnoreVersion undocumented config option, and make us
|
|
|
|
only warn, never exit, when we're running an obsolete version.
|
|
|
|
- Don't try to print a null string when your server finds itself to
|
|
|
|
be unreachable and the Address config option is empty.
|
|
|
|
- Make the numbers in read-history and write-history into uint64s,
|
|
|
|
so they don't overflow and publish negatives in the descriptor.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a minor memory leak in smartlist_string_remove().
|
|
|
|
- We were only allowing ourselves to upload a server descriptor at
|
|
|
|
most every 20 minutes, even if it changed earlier than that.
|
|
|
|
- Clean up log entries that pointed to old URLs.
|
|
|
|

Changes in version 0.1.0.14 - 2005-08-08
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
|
2006-01-25 13:26:21 +01:00
|
|
|
- Fix the other half of the bug with crypto handshakes
|
|
|
|
(CVE-2005-2643).
|
2005-08-07 22:15:32 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix an assert trigger if you send a 'signal term' via the
|
|
|
|
controller when it's listening for 'event info' messages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-08-05 00:45:54 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.1.0.13 - 2005-08-04
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
|
|
|
|
- Fix a critical bug in the security of our crypto handshakes.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a size_t underflow in smartlist_join_strings2() that made
|
|
|
|
it do bad things when you hand it an empty smartlist.
|
|
|
|
- Fix Windows installer to ship Tor license (thanks to Aphex for
|
|
|
|
pointing out this oversight) and put a link to the doc directory
|
|
|
|
in the start menu.
|
2005-08-05 01:05:11 +02:00
|
|
|
- Explicitly set no-unaligned-access for sparc: it turns out the
|
|
|
|
new gcc's let you compile broken code, but that doesn't make it
|
|
|
|
not-broken.

|
|
Changes in version 0.1.0.12 - 2005-07-18
|
|
|
|
o New directory servers:
|
|
|
|
- tor26 has changed IP address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
|
|
|
|
- Fix a possible double-free in tor_gzip_uncompress().
|
|
|
|
- When --disable-threads is set, do not search for or link against
|
|
|
|
pthreads libraries.
|
|
|
|
- Don't trigger an assert if an authoritative directory server
|
|
|
|
claims its dirport is 0.
|
|
|
|
- Fix bug with removing Tor as an NT service: some people were
|
|
|
|
getting "The service did not return an error." Thanks to Matt
|
|
|
|
Edman for the fix.
|
|
|
|

2005-07-01 04:01:21 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.1.0.11 - 2005-06-30
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
|
|
|
|
- Fix major security bug: servers were disregarding their
|
|
|
|
exit policies if clients behaved unexpectedly.
|
|
|
|
- Make OS X init script check for missing argument, so we don't
|
|
|
|
confuse users who invoke it incorrectly.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a seg fault in "tor --hash-password foo".
|
|
|
|
- The MAPADDRESS control command was broken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-06-29 22:10:51 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.1.0.10 - 2005-06-14
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Fixes on Win32:
|
|
|
|
- Make NT services work and start on startup on Win32 (based on
|
|
|
|
patch by Matt Edman). See the FAQ entry for details.
|
|
|
|
- Make 'platform' string in descriptor more accurate for Win32
|
|
|
|
servers, so it's not just "unknown platform".
|
|
|
|
- REUSEADDR on normal platforms means you can rebind to the port
|
|
|
|
right after somebody else has let it go. But REUSEADDR on Win32
|
|
|
|
means you can bind to the port _even when somebody else already
|
|
|
|
has it bound_! So, don't do that on Win32.
|
|
|
|
- Clean up the log messages when starting on Win32 with no config
|
|
|
|
file.
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Allow seeding the RNG on Win32 even when you're not running as
|
|
|
|
Administrator. If seeding the RNG on Win32 fails, quit.
|
2005-05-23 07:22:33 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Assert / crash bugs:
|
|
|
|
- Refuse relay cells that claim to have a length larger than the
|
|
|
|
maximum allowed. This prevents a potential attack that could read
|
2006-01-25 13:26:21 +01:00
|
|
|
arbitrary memory (e.g. keys) from an exit server's process
|
|
|
|
(CVE-2005-2050).
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- If unofficial Tor clients connect and send weird TLS certs, our
|
|
|
|
Tor server triggers an assert. Stop asserting, and start handling
|
|
|
|
TLS errors better in other situations too.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a race condition that can trigger an assert when we have a
|
|
|
|
pending create cell and an OR connection attempt fails.
|
2005-05-17 02:55:18 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Resource leaks:
|
|
|
|
- Use pthreads for worker processes rather than forking. This was
|
|
|
|
forced because when we forked, we ended up wasting a lot of
|
|
|
|
duplicate ram over time.
|
|
|
|
- Also switch to foo_r versions of some library calls to allow
|
|
|
|
reentry and threadsafeness.
|
|
|
|
- Implement --disable-threads configure option. Disable threads on
|
|
|
|
netbsd and openbsd by default, because they have no reentrant
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
resolver functions (!), and on solaris since it has other
|
|
|
|
threading issues.
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix possible bug on threading platforms (e.g. win32) which was
|
|
|
|
leaking a file descriptor whenever a cpuworker or dnsworker died.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a minor memory leak when somebody establishes an introduction
|
|
|
|
point at your Tor server.
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix possible memory leak in tor_lookup_hostname(). (Thanks to
|
|
|
|
Adam Langley.)
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add ./configure --with-dmalloc option, to track memory leaks.
|
|
|
|
- And try to free all memory on closing, so we can detect what
|
|
|
|
we're leaking.
|
2005-05-17 02:55:18 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Protocol correctness:
|
|
|
|
- When we've connected to an OR and handshaked but didn't like
|
|
|
|
the result, we were closing the conn without sending destroy
|
|
|
|
cells back for pending circuits. Now send those destroys.
|
|
|
|
- Start sending 'truncated' cells back rather than destroy cells
|
|
|
|
if the circuit closes in front of you. This means we won't have
|
|
|
|
to abandon partially built circuits.
|
|
|
|
- Handle changed router status correctly when dirserver reloads
|
|
|
|
fingerprint file. We used to be dropping all unverified descriptors
|
|
|
|
right then. The bug was hidden because we would immediately
|
|
|
|
fetch a directory from another dirserver, which would include the
|
|
|
|
descriptors we just dropped.
|
|
|
|
- Revise tor-spec to add more/better stream end reasons.
|
|
|
|
- Revise all calls to connection_edge_end to avoid sending 'misc',
|
|
|
|
and to take errno into account where possible.
|
|
|
|
- Client now retries when streams end early for 'hibernating' or
|
|
|
|
'resource limit' reasons, rather than failing them.
|
|
|
|
- Try to be more zealous about calling connection_edge_end when
|
|
|
|
things go bad with edge conns in connection.c.
|
2005-05-14 08:20:09 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Robustness improvements:
|
|
|
|
- Better handling for heterogeneous / unreliable nodes:
|
|
|
|
- Annotate circuits with whether they aim to contain high uptime
|
|
|
|
nodes and/or high capacity nodes. When building circuits, choose
|
|
|
|
appropriate nodes.
|
|
|
|
- This means that every single node in an intro rend circuit,
|
|
|
|
not just the last one, will have a minimum uptime.
|
|
|
|
- New config option LongLivedPorts to indicate application streams
|
|
|
|
that will want high uptime circuits.
|
|
|
|
- Servers reset uptime when a dir fetch entirely fails. This
|
|
|
|
hopefully reflects stability of the server's network connectivity.
|
|
|
|
- If somebody starts his tor server in Jan 2004 and then fixes his
|
|
|
|
clock, don't make his published uptime be a year.
|
|
|
|
- Reset published uptime when we wake up from hibernation.
|
|
|
|
- Introduce a notion of 'internal' circs, which are chosen without
|
|
|
|
regard to the exit policy of the last hop. Intro and rendezvous
|
|
|
|
circs must be internal circs, to avoid leaking information. Resolve
|
|
|
|
and connect streams can use internal circs if they want.
|
|
|
|
- New circuit pooling algorithm: keep track of what destination ports
|
|
|
|
we've used recently (start out assuming we'll want to use 80), and
|
|
|
|
make sure to have enough circs around to satisfy these ports. Also
|
|
|
|
make sure to have 2 internal circs around if we've required internal
|
|
|
|
circs lately (and with high uptime if we've seen that lately too).
|
|
|
|
- Turn addr_policy_compare from a tristate to a quadstate; this should
|
|
|
|
help address our "Ah, you allow 1.2.3.4:80. You are a good choice
|
|
|
|
for google.com" problem.
|
|
|
|
- When a client asks us for a dir mirror and we don't have one,
|
|
|
|
launch an attempt to get a fresh one.
|
2005-05-14 08:31:20 +02:00
|
|
|
- First cut at support for "create-fast" cells. Clients can use
|
|
|
|
these when extending to their first hop, since the TLS already
|
2005-05-14 08:20:09 +02:00
|
|
|
provides forward secrecy and authentication. Not enabled on
|
|
|
|
clients yet.
|
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Reachability testing.
|
|
|
|
- Your Tor server will automatically try to see if its ORPort and
|
|
|
|
DirPort are reachable from the outside, and it won't upload its
|
|
|
|
descriptor until it decides at least ORPort is reachable (when
|
|
|
|
DirPort is not yet found reachable, publish it as zero).
|
|
|
|
- When building testing circs for ORPort testing, use only
|
|
|
|
high-bandwidth nodes, so fewer circuits fail.
|
|
|
|
- Notice when our IP changes, and reset stats/uptime/reachability.
|
|
|
|
- Authdirservers don't do ORPort reachability detection, since
|
|
|
|
they're in clique mode, so it will be rare to find a server not
|
|
|
|
already connected to them.
|
|
|
|
- Authdirservers now automatically approve nodes running 0.1.0.2-rc
|
|
|
|
or later.
|
2005-05-14 08:20:09 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Dirserver fixes:
|
|
|
|
- Now we allow two unverified servers with the same nickname
|
|
|
|
but different keys. But if a nickname is verified, only that
|
|
|
|
nickname+key are allowed.
|
|
|
|
- If you're an authdirserver connecting to an address:port,
|
|
|
|
and it's not the OR you were expecting, forget about that
|
|
|
|
descriptor. If he *was* the one you were expecting, then forget
|
|
|
|
about all other descriptors for that address:port.
|
|
|
|
- Allow servers to publish descriptors from 12 hours in the future.
|
|
|
|
Corollary: only whine about clock skew from the dirserver if
|
|
|
|
he's a trusted dirserver (since now even verified servers could
|
|
|
|
have quite wrong clocks).
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Require servers that use the default dirservers to have public IP
|
|
|
|
addresses. We have too many servers that are configured with private
|
|
|
|
IPs and their admins never notice the log entries complaining that
|
|
|
|
their descriptors are being rejected.
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
o Efficiency improvements:
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- Use libevent. Now we can use faster async cores (like epoll, kpoll,
|
|
|
|
and /dev/poll), and hopefully work better on Windows too.
|
|
|
|
- Apple's OS X 10.4.0 ships with a broken kqueue API, and using
|
|
|
|
kqueue on 10.3.9 causes kernel panics. Don't use kqueue on OS X.
|
|
|
|
- Find libevent even if it's hiding in /usr/local/ and your
|
|
|
|
CFLAGS and LDFLAGS don't tell you to look there.
|
|
|
|
- Be able to link with libevent as a shared library (the default
|
|
|
|
after 1.0d), even if it's hiding in /usr/local/lib and even
|
|
|
|
if you haven't added /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf,
|
|
|
|
assuming you're running gcc. Otherwise fail and give a useful
|
|
|
|
error message.
|
|
|
|
- Switch to a new buffer management algorithm, which tries to avoid
|
|
|
|
reallocing and copying quite as much. In first tests it looks like
|
|
|
|
it uses *more* memory on average, but less cpu.
|
2005-04-27 06:36:32 +02:00
|
|
|
- Switch our internal buffers implementation to use a ring buffer,
|
|
|
|
to hopefully improve performance for fast servers a lot.
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Reenable the part of the code that tries to flush as soon as an
|
|
|
|
OR outbuf has a full TLS record available. Perhaps this will make
|
|
|
|
OR outbufs not grow as huge except in rare cases, thus saving lots
|
|
|
|
of CPU time plus memory.
|
2005-04-27 06:41:29 +02:00
|
|
|
- Improve performance for dirservers: stop re-parsing the whole
|
|
|
|
directory every time you regenerate it.
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- Keep a big splay tree of (circid,orconn)->circuit mappings to make
|
|
|
|
it much faster to look up a circuit for each relay cell.
|
|
|
|
- Remove most calls to assert_all_pending_dns_resolves_ok(),
|
|
|
|
since they're eating our cpu on exit nodes.
|
|
|
|
- Stop wasting time doing a case insensitive comparison for every
|
|
|
|
dns name every time we do any lookup. Canonicalize the names to
|
|
|
|
lowercase when you first see them.
|
2005-04-27 06:36:32 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Hidden services:
|
|
|
|
- Handle unavailable hidden services better. Handle slow or busy
|
|
|
|
hidden services better.
|
|
|
|
- Cannibalize GENERAL circs to be C_REND, C_INTRO, S_INTRO, and S_REND
|
|
|
|
circ as necessary, if there are any completed ones lying around
|
|
|
|
when we try to launch one.
|
|
|
|
- Make hidden services try to establish a rendezvous for 30 seconds
|
|
|
|
after fetching the descriptor, rather than for n (where n=3)
|
|
|
|
attempts to build a circuit.
|
|
|
|
- Adjust maximum skew and age for rendezvous descriptors: let skew
|
|
|
|
be 48 hours rather than 90 minutes.
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Reject malformed .onion addresses rather then passing them on as
|
|
|
|
normal web requests.
|
2005-04-27 06:36:32 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Controller:
|
|
|
|
- More Tor controller support. See
|
|
|
|
http://tor.eff.org/doc/control-spec.txt for all the new features,
|
|
|
|
including signals to emulate unix signals from any platform;
|
|
|
|
redirectstream; extendcircuit; mapaddress; getinfo; postdescriptor;
|
|
|
|
closestream; closecircuit; etc.
|
|
|
|
- Encode hashed controller passwords in hex instead of base64,
|
|
|
|
to make it easier to write controllers.
|
|
|
|
- Revise control spec and implementation to allow all log messages to
|
|
|
|
be sent to controller with their severities intact (suggested by
|
|
|
|
Matt Edman). Disable debug-level logs while delivering a debug-level
|
|
|
|
log to the controller, to prevent loop. Update TorControl to handle
|
|
|
|
new log event types.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o New config options/defaults:
|
|
|
|
- Begin scrubbing sensitive strings from logs by default. Turn off
|
|
|
|
the config option SafeLogging if you need to do debugging.
|
|
|
|
- New exit policy: accept most low-numbered ports, rather than
|
|
|
|
rejecting most low-numbered ports.
|
|
|
|
- Put a note in the torrc about abuse potential with the default
|
|
|
|
exit policy.
|
|
|
|
- Add support for CONNECTing through https proxies, with "HttpsProxy"
|
|
|
|
config option.
|
|
|
|
- Add HttpProxyAuthenticator and HttpsProxyAuthenticator support
|
|
|
|
based on patch from Adam Langley (basic auth only).
|
|
|
|
- Bump the default BandwidthRate from 1 MB to 2 MB, to accommodate
|
|
|
|
the fast servers that have been joining lately. (Clients are now
|
|
|
|
willing to load balance over up to 2 MB of advertised bandwidth
|
|
|
|
capacity too.)
|
|
|
|
- New config option MaxAdvertisedBandwidth which lets you advertise
|
|
|
|
a low bandwidthrate (to not attract as many circuits) while still
|
|
|
|
allowing a higher bandwidthrate in reality.
|
|
|
|
- Require BandwidthRate to be at least 20kB/s for servers.
|
2005-04-23 20:31:00 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add a NoPublish config option, so you can be a server (e.g. for
|
|
|
|
testing running Tor servers in other Tor networks) without
|
|
|
|
publishing your descriptor to the primary dirservers.
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add a new AddressMap config directive to rewrite incoming socks
|
|
|
|
addresses. This lets you, for example, declare an implicit
|
|
|
|
required exit node for certain sites.
|
|
|
|
- Add a new TrackHostExits config directive to trigger addressmaps
|
|
|
|
for certain incoming socks addresses -- for sites that break when
|
|
|
|
your exit keeps changing (based on patch from Mike Perry).
|
|
|
|
- Split NewCircuitPeriod option into NewCircuitPeriod (30 secs),
|
|
|
|
which describes how often we retry making new circuits if current
|
|
|
|
ones are dirty, and MaxCircuitDirtiness (10 mins), which describes
|
|
|
|
how long we're willing to make use of an already-dirty circuit.
|
|
|
|
- Change compiled-in SHUTDOWN_WAIT_LENGTH from a fixed 30 secs to
|
|
|
|
a config option "ShutdownWaitLength" (when using kill -INT on
|
|
|
|
servers).
|
|
|
|
- Fix an edge case in parsing config options: if they say "--"
|
|
|
|
on the commandline, it's not a config option (thanks weasel).
|
|
|
|
- New config option DirAllowPrivateAddresses for authdirservers.
|
|
|
|
Now by default they refuse router descriptors that have non-IP or
|
|
|
|
private-IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
- Change DirFetchPeriod/StatusFetchPeriod to have a special "Be
|
|
|
|
smart" default value: low for servers and high for clients.
|
|
|
|
- Some people were putting "Address " in their torrc, and they had
|
|
|
|
a buggy resolver that resolved " " to 0.0.0.0. Oops.
|
|
|
|
- If DataDir is ~/.tor, and that expands to /.tor, then default to
|
|
|
|
LOCALSTATEDIR/tor instead.
|
|
|
|
- Implement --verify-config command-line option to check if your torrc
|
|
|
|
is valid without actually launching Tor.
|
2005-04-23 20:31:00 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Logging improvements:
|
|
|
|
- When dirservers refuse a server descriptor, we now log its
|
|
|
|
contactinfo, platform, and the poster's IP address.
|
|
|
|
- Only warn once per nickname from add_nickname_list_to_smartlist()
|
2005-04-08 08:16:38 +02:00
|
|
|
per failure, so an entrynode or exitnode choice that's down won't
|
|
|
|
yell so much.
|
|
|
|
- When we're connecting to an OR and he's got a different nickname/key
|
|
|
|
than we were expecting, only complain loudly if we're an OP or a
|
|
|
|
dirserver. Complaining loudly to the OR admins just confuses them.
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- Whine at you if you're a server and you don't set your contactinfo.
|
|
|
|
- Warn when exit policy implicitly allows local addresses.
|
|
|
|
- Give a better warning when some other server advertises an
|
|
|
|
ORPort that is actually an apache running ssl.
|
|
|
|
- If we get an incredibly skewed timestamp from a dirserver mirror
|
|
|
|
that isn't a verified OR, don't warn -- it's probably him that's
|
|
|
|
wrong.
|
|
|
|
- When a dirserver causes you to give a warn, mention which dirserver
|
|
|
|
it was.
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Initialize libevent later in the startup process, so the logs are
|
|
|
|
already established by the time we start logging libevent warns.
|
|
|
|
- Use correct errno on win32 if libevent fails.
|
|
|
|
- Check and warn about known-bad/slow libevent versions.
|
|
|
|
- Stop warning about sigpipes in the logs. We're going to
|
|
|
|
pretend that getting these occassionally is normal and fine.

|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o New contrib scripts:
|
|
|
|
- New experimental script tor/contrib/exitlist: a simple python
|
|
|
|
script to parse directories and find Tor nodes that exit to listed
|
|
|
|
addresses/ports.
|
2005-04-01 18:29:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- New experimental script tor/contrib/ExerciseServer.py (needs more
|
|
|
|
work) that uses the controller interface to build circuits and
|
|
|
|
fetch pages over them. This will help us bootstrap servers that
|
|
|
|
have lots of capacity but haven't noticed it yet.
|
|
|
|
- New experimental script tor/contrib/PathDemo.py (needs more work)
|
|
|
|
that uses the controller interface to let you choose whole paths
|
|
|
|
via addresses like
|
|
|
|
"<hostname>.<path,separated by dots>.<length of path>.path"
|
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
|
|
|
- New contributed script "privoxy-tor-toggle" to toggle whether
|
2005-03-29 04:44:24 +02:00
|
|
|
Privoxy uses Tor. Seems to be configured for Debian by default.
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Have torctl.in/tor.sh.in check for location of su binary (needed
|
|
|
|
on FreeBSD)
|
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
o Misc bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- chdir() to your datadirectory at the *end* of the daemonize process,
|
|
|
|
not the beginning. This was a problem because the first time you
|
|
|
|
run tor, if your datadir isn't there, and you have runasdaemon set
|
|
|
|
to 1, it will try to chdir to it before it tries to create it. Oops.
|
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
|
|
|
- Fix several double-mark-for-close bugs, e.g. where we were finding
|
|
|
|
a conn for a cell even if that conn is already marked for close.
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- Stop most cases of hanging up on a socks connection without sending
|
|
|
|
the socks reject.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a bug in the RPM package: set home directory for _tor to
|
|
|
|
something more reasonable when first installing.
|
|
|
|
- Stop putting nodename in the Platform string in server descriptors.
|
|
|
|
It doesn't actually help, and it is confusing/upsetting some people.
|
|
|
|
- When using preferred entry or exit nodes, ignore whether the
|
|
|
|
circuit wants uptime or capacity. They asked for the nodes, they
|
|
|
|
get the nodes.
|
|
|
|
- Tie MAX_DIR_SIZE to MAX_BUF_SIZE, so now directory sizes won't get
|
|
|
|
artificially capped at 500kB.
|
|
|
|
- Cache local dns resolves correctly even when they're .exit
|
|
|
|
addresses.
|
|
|
|
- If we're hibernating and we get a SIGINT, exit immediately.
|
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
|
|
|
- tor-resolve requests were ignoring .exit if there was a working circuit
|
|
|
|
they could use instead.
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Pay more attention to the ClientOnly config option.
|
|
|
|
- Resolve OS X installer bugs: stop claiming to be 0.0.9.2 in certain
|
|
|
|
installer screens; and don't put stuff into StartupItems unless
|
|
|
|
the user asks you to.
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Misc features:
|
|
|
|
- Rewrite address "serifos.exit" to "externalIP.serifos.exit"
|
|
|
|
rather than just rejecting it.
|
|
|
|
- If our clock jumps forward by 100 seconds or more, assume something
|
|
|
|
has gone wrong with our network and abandon all not-yet-used circs.
|
|
|
|
- When an application is using socks5, give him the whole variety of
|
|
|
|
potential socks5 responses (connect refused, host unreachable, etc),
|
|
|
|
rather than just "success" or "failure".
|
|
|
|
- A more sane version numbering system. See
|
|
|
|
http://tor.eff.org/cvs/tor/doc/version-spec.txt for details.
|
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
|
|
|
- Change version parsing logic: a version is "obsolete" if it is not
|
|
|
|
recommended and (1) there is a newer recommended version in the
|
|
|
|
same series, or (2) there are no recommended versions in the same
|
|
|
|
series, but there are some recommended versions in a newer series.
|
|
|
|
A version is "new" if it is newer than any recommended version in
|
|
|
|
the same series.
|
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- Report HTTP reasons to client when getting a response from directory
|
|
|
|
servers -- so you can actually know what went wrong.
|
|
|
|
- Reject odd-looking addresses at the client (e.g. addresses that
|
|
|
|
contain a colon), rather than having the server drop them because
|
|
|
|
they're malformed.
|
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
|
|
|
- Stop publishing socksport in the directory, since it's not
|
|
|
|
actually meant to be public. For compatibility, publish a 0 there
|
|
|
|
for now.
|
2005-03-29 04:44:24 +02:00
|
|
|
- Since we ship our own Privoxy on OS X, tweak it so it doesn't write
|
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
|
|
|
cookies to disk and doesn't log each web request to disk. (Thanks
|
|
|
|
to Brett Carrington for pointing this out.)
|
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Add OSX uninstall instructions. An actual uninstall script will
|
|
|
|
come later.
|
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
|
|
|
- Add "opt hibernating 1" to server descriptor to make it clearer
|
|
|
|
whether the server is hibernating.

Changes in version 0.0.9.10 - 2005-06-16
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x (backported from 0.1.0.10):
|
|
|
|
- Refuse relay cells that claim to have a length larger than the
|
|
|
|
maximum allowed. This prevents a potential attack that could read
|
2006-01-25 13:26:21 +01:00
|
|
|
arbitrary memory (e.g. keys) from an exit server's process
|
|
|
|
(CVE-2005-2050).

Changes in version 0.0.9.9 - 2005-04-23
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x:
|
|
|
|
- If unofficial Tor clients connect and send weird TLS certs, our
|
|
|
|
Tor server triggers an assert. This release contains a minimal
|
|
|
|
backport from the broader fix that we put into 0.1.0.4-rc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-04-08 08:16:38 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.9.8 - 2005-04-07
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x:
|
|
|
|
- We have a bug that I haven't found yet. Sometimes, very rarely,
|
|
|
|
cpuworkers get stuck in the 'busy' state, even though the cpuworker
|
|
|
|
thinks of itself as idle. This meant that no new circuits ever got
|
|
|
|
established. Here's a workaround to kill any cpuworker that's been
|
|
|
|
busy for more than 100 seconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-04-01 10:00:50 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.9.7 - 2005-04-01
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x:
|
|
|
|
- Fix another race crash bug (thanks to Glenn Fink for reporting).
|
|
|
|
- Compare identity to identity, not to nickname, when extending to
|
|
|
|
a router not already in the directory. This was preventing us from
|
|
|
|
extending to unknown routers. Oops.
|
|
|
|
- Make sure to create OS X Tor user in <500 range, so we aren't
|
|
|
|
creating actual system users.
|
|
|
|
- Note where connection-that-hasn't-sent-end was marked, and fix
|
|
|
|
a few really loud instances of this harmless bug (it's fixed more
|
2005-04-01 16:13:31 +02:00
|
|
|
in 0.1.0.x).
|
2005-04-01 10:00:50 +02:00

2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.9.6 - 2005-03-24
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x (crashes and asserts):
|
|
|
|
- Add new end stream reasons to maintainance branch. Fix bug where
|
|
|
|
reason (8) could trigger an assert. Prevent bug from recurring.
|
|
|
|
- Apparently win32 stat wants paths to not end with a slash.
|
|
|
|
- Fix assert triggers in assert_cpath_layer_ok(), where we were
|
|
|
|
blowing away the circuit that conn->cpath_layer points to, then
|
|
|
|
checking to see if the circ is well-formed. Backport check to make
|
|
|
|
sure we dont use the cpath on a closed connection.
|
|
|
|
- Prevent circuit_resume_edge_reading_helper() from trying to package
|
|
|
|
inbufs for marked-for-close streams.
|
|
|
|
- Don't crash on hup if your options->address has become unresolvable.
|
|
|
|
- Some systems (like OS X) sometimes accept() a connection and tell
|
|
|
|
you the remote host is 0.0.0.0:0. If this happens, due to some
|
|
|
|
other mis-features, we get confused; so refuse the conn for now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x (other):
|
|
|
|
- Fix harmless but scary "Unrecognized content encoding" warn message.
|
|
|
|
- Add new stream error reason: TORPROTOCOL reason means "you are not
|
|
|
|
speaking a version of Tor I understand; say bye-bye to your stream."
|
|
|
|
- Be willing to cache directories from up to ROUTER_MAX_AGE seconds
|
|
|
|
into the future, now that we are more tolerant of skew. This
|
|
|
|
resolves a bug where a Tor server would refuse to cache a directory
|
|
|
|
because all the directories it gets are too far in the future;
|
|
|
|
yet the Tor server never logs any complaints about clock skew.
|
|
|
|
- Mac packaging magic: make man pages useable, and do not overwrite
|
|
|
|
existing torrc files.
|
|
|
|
- Make OS X log happily to /var/log/tor/tor.log
|

Changes in version 0.0.9.5 - 2005-02-22
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x:
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assert race at exit nodes when resolve requests fail.
|
|
|
|
- Stop picking unverified dir mirrors--it only leads to misery.
|
|
|
|
- Patch from Matt Edman to make NT services work better. Service
|
|
|
|
support is still not compiled into the executable by default.
|
|
|
|
- Patch from Dmitri Bely so the Tor service runs better under
|
|
|
|
the win32 SYSTEM account.
|
|
|
|
- Make tor-resolve actually work (?) on Win32.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a sign bug when getrlimit claims to have 4+ billion
|
|
|
|
file descriptors available.
|
|
|
|
- Stop refusing to start when bandwidthburst == bandwidthrate.
|
|
|
|
- When create cells have been on the onion queue more than five
|
|
|
|
seconds, just send back a destroy and take them off the list.

Changes in version 0.0.9.4 - 2005-02-03
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9:
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assert bug that took down most of our servers: when
|
2005-02-17 02:12:50 +01:00
|
|
|
a server claims to have 1 GB of bandwidthburst, don't
|
2005-02-04 00:55:49 +01:00
|
|
|
freak out.
|
|
|
|
- Don't crash as badly if we have spawned the max allowed number
|
|
|
|
of dnsworkers, or we're out of file descriptors.
|
|
|
|
- Block more file-sharing ports in the default exit policy.
|
2005-02-04 03:23:16 +01:00
|
|
|
- MaxConn is now automatically set to the hard limit of max
|
|
|
|
file descriptors we're allowed (ulimit -n), minus a few for
|
|
|
|
logs, etc.
|
|
|
|
- Give a clearer message when servers need to raise their
|
|
|
|
ulimit -n when they start running out of file descriptors.
|
2005-02-04 00:55:49 +01:00
|
|
|
- SGI Compatibility patches from Jan Schaumann.
|
|
|
|
- Tolerate a corrupt cached directory better.
|
|
|
|
- When a dirserver hasn't approved your server, list which one.
|
|
|
|
- Go into soft hibernation after 95% of the bandwidth is used,
|
|
|
|
not 99%. This is especially important for daily hibernators who
|
|
|
|
have a small accounting max. Hopefully it will result in fewer
|
|
|
|
cut connections when the hard hibernation starts.
|
|
|
|
- Load-balance better when using servers that claim more than
|
|
|
|
800kB/s of capacity.
|
|
|
|
- Make NT services work (experimental, only used if compiled in).

|
|

Changes in version 0.0.9.3 - 2005-01-21
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9:
|
|
|
|
- Backport the cpu use fixes from main branch, so busy servers won't
|
|
|
|
need as much processor time.
|
|
|
|
- Work better when we go offline and then come back, or when we
|
|
|
|
run Tor at boot before the network is up. We do this by
|
|
|
|
optimistically trying to fetch a new directory whenever an
|
|
|
|
application request comes in and we think we're offline -- the
|
|
|
|
human is hopefully a good measure of when the network is back.
|
|
|
|
- Backport some minimal hidserv bugfixes: keep rend circuits open as
|
|
|
|
long as you keep using them; actually publish hidserv descriptors
|
|
|
|
shortly after they change, rather than waiting 20-40 minutes.
|
|
|
|
- Enable Mac startup script by default.
|
|
|
|
- Fix duplicate dns_cancel_pending_resolve reported by Giorgos Pallas.
|
|
|
|
- When you update AllowUnverifiedNodes or FirewallPorts via the
|
|
|
|
controller's setconf feature, we were always appending, never
|
|
|
|
resetting.
|
|
|
|
- When you update HiddenServiceDir via setconf, it was screwing up
|
|
|
|
the order of reading the lines, making it fail.
|
|
|
|
- Do not rewrite a cached directory back to the cache; otherwise we
|
|
|
|
will think it is recent and not fetch a newer one on startup.
|
|
|
|
- Workaround for webservers that lie about Content-Encoding: Tor
|
|
|
|
now tries to autodetect compressed directories and compression
|
|
|
|
itself. This lets us Proxypass dir fetches through apache.

Changes in version 0.0.9.2 - 2005-01-04
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9 (crashes and asserts):
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assert on startup when the disk is full and you're logging
|
|
|
|
to a file.
|
|
|
|
- If you do socks4 with an IP of 0.0.0.x but *don't* provide a socks4a
|
|
|
|
style address, then we'd crash.
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assert trigger when the running-routers string we get from
|
|
|
|
a dirserver is broken.
|
|
|
|
- Make worker threads start and run on win32. Now win32 servers
|
|
|
|
may work better.
|
|
|
|
- Bandaid (not actually fix, but now it doesn't crash) an assert
|
|
|
|
where the dns worker dies mysteriously and the main Tor process
|
|
|
|
doesn't remember anything about the address it was resolving.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9 (Win32):
|
|
|
|
- Workaround for brain-damaged __FILE__ handling on MSVC: keep Nick's
|
|
|
|
name out of the warning/assert messages.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a superficial "unhandled error on read" bug on win32.
|
|
|
|
- The win32 installer no longer requires a click-through for our
|
|
|
|
license, since our Free Software license grants rights but does not
|
|
|
|
take any away.
|
|
|
|
- Win32: When connecting to a dirserver fails, try another one
|
|
|
|
immediately. (This was already working for non-win32 Tors.)
|
|
|
|
- Stop trying to parse $HOME on win32 when hunting for default
|
|
|
|
DataDirectory.
|
|
|
|
- Make tor-resolve.c work on win32 by calling network_init().
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9 (other):
|
|
|
|
- Make 0.0.9.x build on Solaris again.
|
|
|
|
- Due to a fencepost error, we were blowing away the \n when reporting
|
|
|
|
confvalue items in the controller. So asking for multiple config
|
|
|
|
values at once couldn't work.
|
|
|
|
- When listing circuits that are pending on an opening OR connection,
|
|
|
|
if we're an OR we were listing circuits that *end* at us as
|
|
|
|
being pending on every listener, dns/cpu worker, etc. Stop that.
|
|
|
|
- Dirservers were failing to create 'running-routers' or 'directory'
|
|
|
|
strings if we had more than some threshold of routers. Fix them so
|
|
|
|
they can handle any number of routers.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a superficial "Duplicate mark for close" bug.
|
|
|
|
- Stop checking for clock skew for OR connections, even for servers.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a fencepost error that was chopping off the last letter of any
|
|
|
|
nickname that is the maximum allowed nickname length.
|
|
|
|
- Update URLs in log messages so they point to the new website.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a potential problem in mangling server private keys while
|
|
|
|
writing to disk (not triggered yet, as far as we know).
|
|
|
|
- Include the licenses for other free software we include in Tor,
|
|
|
|
now that we're shipping binary distributions more regularly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-12-15 20:51:35 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.9.1 - 2004-12-15
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9:
|
|
|
|
- Make hibernation actually work.
|
|
|
|
- Make HashedControlPassword config option work.
|
|
|
|
- When we're reporting event circuit status to a controller,
|
|
|
|
don't use the stream status code.
|
|
|
|
|
2004-12-08 00:42:32 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2004-12-13 01:52:35 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.9 - 2004-12-12
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1 (Crashes and asserts):
|
|
|
|
- Catch and ignore SIGXFSZ signals when log files exceed 2GB; our
|
|
|
|
write() call will fail and we handle it there.
|
|
|
|
- When we run out of disk space, or other log writing error, don't
|
|
|
|
crash. Just stop logging to that log and continue.
|
2004-12-08 02:14:56 +01:00
|
|
|
- Fix isspace() and friends so they still make Solaris happy
|
|
|
|
but also so they don't trigger asserts on win32.
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- Fix assert failure on malformed socks4a requests.
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assert bug where a hidden service provider would fail if
|
|
|
|
the first hop of his rendezvous circuit was down.
|
|
|
|
- Better handling of size_t vs int, so we're more robust on 64
|
|
|
|
bit platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1 (Win32):
|
|
|
|
- Make windows sockets actually non-blocking (oops), and handle
|
|
|
|
win32 socket errors better.
|
2004-12-08 00:42:32 +01:00
|
|
|
- Fix parse_iso_time on platforms without strptime (eg win32).
|
|
|
|
- win32: when being multithreaded, leave parent fdarray open.
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- Better handling of winsock includes on non-MSV win32 compilers.
|
|
|
|
- Change our file IO stuff (especially wrt OpenSSL) so win32 is
|
|
|
|
happier.
|
2004-12-08 00:42:32 +01:00
|
|
|
- Make unit tests work on win32.
|
|
|
|
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1 (Path selection and streams):
|
2004-12-06 07:27:39 +01:00
|
|
|
- Calculate timeout for waiting for a connected cell from the time
|
|
|
|
we sent the begin cell, not from the time the stream started. If
|
|
|
|
it took a long time to establish the circuit, we would time out
|
|
|
|
right after sending the begin cell.
|
|
|
|
- Fix router_compare_addr_to_addr_policy: it was not treating a port
|
|
|
|
of * as always matching, so we were picking reject *:* nodes as
|
|
|
|
exit nodes too. Oops.
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- When read() failed on a stream, we would close it without sending
|
|
|
|
back an end. So 'connection refused' would simply be ignored and
|
|
|
|
the user would get no response.
|
|
|
|
- Stop a sigpipe: when an 'end' cell races with eof from the app,
|
|
|
|
we shouldn't hold-open-until-flush if the eof arrived first.
|
|
|
|
- Let resolve conns retry/expire also, rather than sticking around
|
|
|
|
forever.
|
|
|
|
- Fix more dns related bugs: send back resolve_failed and end cells
|
|
|
|
more reliably when the resolve fails, rather than closing the
|
|
|
|
circuit and then trying to send the cell. Also attach dummy resolve
|
|
|
|
connections to a circuit *before* calling dns_resolve(), to fix
|
|
|
|
a bug where cached answers would never be sent in RESOLVED cells.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1 (Circuits):
|
|
|
|
- Finally fix a bug that's been plaguing us for a year:
|
|
|
|
With high load, circuit package window was reaching 0. Whenever
|
|
|
|
we got a circuit-level sendme, we were reading a lot on each
|
|
|
|
socket, but only writing out a bit. So we would eventually reach
|
|
|
|
eof. This would be noticed and acted on even when there were still
|
|
|
|
bytes sitting in the inbuf.
|
|
|
|
- Use identity comparison, not nickname comparison, to choose which
|
|
|
|
half of circuit-ID-space each side gets to use. This is needed
|
|
|
|
because sometimes we think of a router as a nickname, and sometimes
|
|
|
|
as a hex ID, and we can't predict what the other side will do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1 (Other):
|
|
|
|
- Fix a whole slew of memory leaks.
|
|
|
|
- Disallow NDEBUG. We don't ever want anybody to turn off debug.
|
|
|
|
- If we are using select, make sure we stay within FD_SETSIZE.
|
|
|
|
- When poll() is interrupted, we shouldn't believe the revents values.
|
|
|
|
- Add a FAST_SMARTLIST define to optionally inline smartlist_get
|
|
|
|
and smartlist_len, which are two major profiling offenders.
|
|
|
|
- If do_hup fails, actually notice.
|
|
|
|
- Flush the log file descriptor after we print "Tor opening log file",
|
|
|
|
so we don't see those messages days later.
|
|
|
|
- Hidden service operators now correctly handle version 1 style
|
|
|
|
INTRODUCE1 cells (nobody generates them still, so not a critical
|
|
|
|
bug).
|
|
|
|
- Handle more errnos from accept() without closing the listener.
|
|
|
|
Some OpenBSD machines were closing their listeners because
|
|
|
|
they ran out of file descriptors.
|
|
|
|
- Some people had wrapped their tor client/server in a script
|
|
|
|
that would restart it whenever it died. This did not play well
|
|
|
|
with our "shut down if your version is obsolete" code. Now people
|
|
|
|
don't fetch a new directory if their local cached version is
|
|
|
|
recent enough.
|
|
|
|
- Make our autogen.sh work on ksh as well as bash.
|
|
|
|
- Better torrc example lines for dirbindaddress and orbindaddress.
|
|
|
|
- Improved bounds checking on parsed ints (e.g. config options and
|
|
|
|
the ones we find in directories.)
|
|
|
|
- Stop using separate defaults for no-config-file and
|
|
|
|
empty-config-file. Now you have to explicitly turn off SocksPort,
|
|
|
|
if you don't want it open.
|
|
|
|
- We were starting to daemonize before we opened our logs, so if
|
|
|
|
there were any problems opening logs, we would complain to stderr,
|
|
|
|
which wouldn't work, and then mysteriously exit.
|
|
|
|
- If a verified OR connects to us before he's uploaded his descriptor,
|
|
|
|
or we verify him and hup but he still has the original TLS
|
|
|
|
connection, then conn->nickname is still set like he's unverified.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Code security improvements, inspired by Ilja:
|
|
|
|
- tor_snprintf wrapper over snprintf with consistent (though not C99)
|
|
|
|
overflow behavior.
|
|
|
|
- Replace sprintf with tor_snprintf. (I think they were all safe, but
|
|
|
|
hey.)
|
|
|
|
- Replace strcpy/strncpy with strlcpy in more places.
|
|
|
|
- Avoid strcat; use tor_snprintf or strlcat instead.
|
2004-12-06 07:27:39 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
o Features (circuits and streams):
|
2004-12-06 07:27:39 +01:00
|
|
|
- New circuit building strategy: keep a list of ports that we've
|
|
|
|
used in the past 6 hours, and always try to have 2 circuits open
|
|
|
|
or on the way that will handle each such port. Seed us with port
|
|
|
|
80 so web users won't complain that Tor is "slow to start up".
|
|
|
|
- Make kill -USR1 dump more useful stats about circuits.
|
|
|
|
- When warning about retrying or giving up, print the address, so
|
|
|
|
the user knows which one it's talking about.
|
|
|
|
- If you haven't used a clean circuit in an hour, throw it away,
|
|
|
|
just to be on the safe side. (This means after 6 hours a totally
|
|
|
|
unused Tor client will have no circuits open.)
|
2004-11-30 11:33:23 +01:00
|
|
|
- Support "foo.nickname.exit" addresses, to let Alice request the
|
|
|
|
address "foo" as viewed by exit node "nickname". Based on a patch
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
from Geoff Goodell.
|
|
|
|
- If your requested entry or exit node has advertised bandwidth 0,
|
|
|
|
pick it anyway.
|
|
|
|
- Be more greedy about filling up relay cells -- we try reading again
|
|
|
|
once we've processed the stuff we read, in case enough has arrived
|
|
|
|
to fill the last cell completely.
|
|
|
|
- Refuse application socks connections to port 0.
|
|
|
|
- Use only 0.0.9pre1 and later servers for resolve cells.
|
2004-11-23 08:36:48 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
o Features (bandwidth):
|
|
|
|
- Hibernation: New config option "AccountingMax" lets you
|
|
|
|
set how many bytes per month (in each direction) you want to
|
|
|
|
allow your server to consume. Rather than spreading those
|
|
|
|
bytes out evenly over the month, we instead hibernate for some
|
|
|
|
of the month and pop up at a deterministic time, work until
|
|
|
|
the bytes are consumed, then hibernate again. Config option
|
|
|
|
"MonthlyAccountingStart" lets you specify which day of the month
|
|
|
|
your billing cycle starts on.
|
2004-11-23 08:36:48 +01:00
|
|
|
- Implement weekly/monthly/daily accounting: now you specify your
|
|
|
|
hibernation properties by
|
|
|
|
AccountingMax N bytes|KB|MB|GB|TB
|
|
|
|
AccountingStart day|week|month [day] HH:MM
|
|
|
|
Defaults to "month 1 0:00".
|
|
|
|
- Let bandwidth and interval config options be specified as 5 bytes,
|
|
|
|
kb, kilobytes, etc; and as seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks.
|
2004-11-16 04:12:35 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
o Features (directories):
|
|
|
|
- New "router-status" line in directory, to better bind each verified
|
|
|
|
nickname to its identity key.
|
|
|
|
- Clients can ask dirservers for /dir.z to get a compressed version
|
|
|
|
of the directory. Only works for servers running 0.0.9, of course.
|
|
|
|
- Make clients cache directories and use them to seed their router
|
|
|
|
lists at startup. This means clients have a datadir again.
|
|
|
|
- Respond to content-encoding headers by trying to uncompress as
|
|
|
|
appropriate.
|
|
|
|
- Clients and servers now fetch running-routers; cache
|
|
|
|
running-routers; compress running-routers; serve compressed
|
|
|
|
running-routers.z
|
|
|
|
- Make moria2 advertise a dirport of 80, so people behind firewalls
|
|
|
|
will be able to get a directory.
|
|
|
|
- Http proxy support
|
|
|
|
- Dirservers translate requests for http://%s:%d/x to /x
|
|
|
|
- You can specify "HttpProxy %s[:%d]" and all dir fetches will
|
|
|
|
be routed through this host.
|
|
|
|
- Clients ask for /tor/x rather than /x for new enough dirservers.
|
|
|
|
This way we can one day coexist peacefully with apache.
|
|
|
|
- Clients specify a "Host: %s%d" http header, to be compatible
|
|
|
|
with more proxies, and so running squid on an exit node can work.
|
|
|
|
- Protect dirservers from overzealous descriptor uploading -- wait
|
|
|
|
10 seconds after directory gets dirty, before regenerating.
|
2004-11-16 04:12:35 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
o Features (packages and install):
|
|
|
|
- Add NSI installer contributed by J Doe.
|
|
|
|
- Apply NT service patch from Osamu Fujino. Still needs more work.
|
2004-11-16 04:12:35 +01:00
|
|
|
- Commit VC6 and VC7 workspace/project files.
|
|
|
|
- Commit a tor.spec for making RPM files, with help from jbash.
|
|
|
|
- Add contrib/torctl.in contributed by Glenn Fink.
|
|
|
|
- Make expand_filename handle ~ and ~username.
|
|
|
|
- Use autoconf to enable largefile support where necessary. Use
|
|
|
|
ftello where available, since ftell can fail at 2GB.
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- Ship src/win32/ in the tarball, so people can use it to build.
|
|
|
|
- Make old win32 fall back to CWD if SHGetSpecialFolderLocation
|
|
|
|
is broken.
|
2004-11-16 04:12:35 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
o Features (ui controller):
|
2004-11-09 09:13:03 +01:00
|
|
|
- Control interface: a separate program can now talk to your
|
|
|
|
client/server over a socket, and get/set config options, receive
|
|
|
|
notifications of circuits and streams starting/finishing/dying,
|
|
|
|
bandwidth used, etc. The next step is to get some GUIs working.
|
2004-11-09 12:55:16 +01:00
|
|
|
Let us know if you want to help out. See doc/control-spec.txt .
|
2004-11-09 09:13:03 +01:00
|
|
|
- Ship a contrib/tor-control.py as an example script to interact
|
|
|
|
with the control port.
|
|
|
|
- "tor --hash-password zzyxz" will output a salted password for
|
|
|
|
use in authenticating to the control interface.
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- Implement the control-spec's SAVECONF command, to write your
|
|
|
|
configuration to torrc.
|
|
|
|
- Get cookie authentication for the controller closer to working.
|
|
|
|
- When set_conf changes our server descriptor, upload a new copy.
|
|
|
|
But don't upload it too often if there are frequent changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Features (config and command-line):
|
|
|
|
- Deprecate unofficial config option abbreviations, and abbreviations
|
|
|
|
not on the command line.
|
|
|
|
- Configuration infrastructure support for warning on obsolete
|
|
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
- Give a slightly more useful output for "tor -h".
|
|
|
|
- Break DirFetchPostPeriod into:
|
|
|
|
- DirFetchPeriod for fetching full directory,
|
|
|
|
- StatusFetchPeriod for fetching running-routers,
|
|
|
|
- DirPostPeriod for posting server descriptor,
|
|
|
|
- RendPostPeriod for posting hidden service descriptors.
|
2004-11-09 09:13:03 +01:00
|
|
|
- New log format in config:
|
|

|
|
"Log minsev[-maxsev] file /var/foo"
|
2004-11-09 09:13:03 +01:00
|
|
|
- DirPolicy config option, to let people reject incoming addresses
|
|
|
|
from their dirserver.
|
|
|
|
- "tor --list-fingerprint" will list your identity key fingerprint
|
|
|
|
and then exit.
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- Make tor --version --version dump the cvs Id of every file.
|
2004-10-17 07:15:46 +02:00
|
|
|
- New 'MyFamily nick1,...' config option for a server to
|
|
|
|
specify other servers that shouldn't be used in the same circuit
|
|
|
|
with it. Only believed if nick1 also specifies us.
|
|
|
|
- New 'NodeFamily nick1,nick2,...' config option for a client to
|
|
|
|
specify nodes that it doesn't want to use in the same circuit.
|
|
|
|
- New 'Redirectexit pattern address:port' config option for a
|
|
|
|
server to redirect exit connections, e.g. to a local squid.
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- Add "pass" target for RedirectExit, to make it easier to break
|
|
|
|
out of a sequence of RedirectExit rules.
|
2004-10-14 07:31:03 +02:00
|
|
|
- Make the dirservers file obsolete.
|
|
|
|
- Include a dir-signing-key token in directories to tell the
|
|
|
|
parsing entity which key is being used to sign.
|
2004-10-14 12:27:26 +02:00
|
|
|
- Remove the built-in bulky default dirservers string.
|
|
|
|
- New config option "Dirserver %s:%d [fingerprint]", which can be
|
|
|
|
repeated as many times as needed. If no dirservers specified,
|
|
|
|
default to moria1,moria2,tor26.
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- Make 'Routerfile' config option obsolete.
|
|
|
|
- Discourage people from setting their dirfetchpostperiod more often
|
|
|
|
than once per minute.
|
2004-09-27 03:10:07 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
o Features (other):
|
|
|
|
- kill -USR2 now moves all logs to loglevel debug (kill -HUP to
|
|
|
|
get back to normal.)
|
|
|
|
- Accept *:706 (silc) in default exit policy.
|
|
|
|
- Implement new versioning format for post 0.1.
|
|
|
|
- Distinguish between TOR_TLS_CLOSE and TOR_TLS_ERROR, so we can
|
|
|
|
log more informatively.
|
|
|
|
- Check clock skew for verified servers, but allow unverified
|
|
|
|
servers and clients to have any clock skew.
|
|
|
|
- Make sure the hidden service descriptors are at a random offset
|
|
|
|
from each other, to hinder linkability.
|
|
|
|
- Clients now generate a TLS cert too, in preparation for having
|
|
|
|
them act more like real nodes.
|
|
|
|
- Add a pure-C tor-resolve implementation.
|
|
|
|
- Use getrlimit and friends to ensure we can reach MaxConn (currently
|
|
|
|
1024) file descriptors.
|
2004-09-27 03:10:07 +02:00
|
|
|
- Raise the max dns workers from 50 to 100.

Changes in version 0.0.8.1 - 2004-10-13
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
2004-10-14 08:44:47 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix a seg fault that can be triggered remotely for Tor
|
|
|
|
clients/servers with an open dirport.
|
2004-10-14 07:31:03 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix a rare assert trigger, where routerinfos for entries in
|
|
|
|
our cpath would expire while we're building the path.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a bug in OutboundBindAddress so it (hopefully) works.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a rare seg fault for people running hidden services on
|
|
|
|
intermittent connections.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a bug in parsing opt keywords with objects.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a stale pointer assert bug when a stream detaches and
|
|
|
|
reattaches.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a string format vulnerability (probably not exploitable)
|
|
|
|
in reporting stats locally.
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assert trigger: sometimes launching circuits can fail
|
|
|
|
immediately, e.g. because too many circuits have failed recently.
|
2004-10-14 08:50:57 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix a compile warning on 64 bit platforms.
|
2004-10-14 07:31:03 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-08-25 21:45:23 +02:00

|
|
Changes in version 0.0.8 - 2004-08-25
|
2004-07-23 02:35:44 +02:00
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Made our unit tests compile again on OpenBSD 3.5, and tor
|
|
|
|
itself compile again on OpenBSD on a sparc64.
|
|
|
|
- We were neglecting milliseconds when logging on win32, so
|
|
|
|
everything appeared to happen at the beginning of each second.
|
2004-08-25 21:45:23 +02:00
|
|
|
- Check directory signature _before_ you decide whether you're
|
|
|
|
you're running an obsolete version and should exit.
|
|
|
|
- Check directory signature _before_ you parse the running-routers
|
|
|
|
list to decide who's running.
|
|
|
|
- Check return value of fclose while writing to disk, so we don't
|
|
|
|
end up with broken files when servers run out of disk space.
|
|
|
|
- Port it to SunOS 5.9 / Athena
|
|
|
|
- Fix two bugs in saving onion keys to disk when rotating, so
|
|
|
|
hopefully we'll get fewer people using old onion keys.
|
|
|
|
- Remove our mostly unused -- and broken -- hex_encode()
|
|
|
|
function. Use base16_encode() instead. (Thanks to Timo Lindfors
|
|
|
|
for pointing out this bug.)
|
|
|
|
- Only pick and establish intro points after we've gotten a
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
- Fix assert triggers: if the other side returns an address 0.0.0.0,
|
|
|
|
don't put it into the client dns cache.
|
|
|
|
- If a begin failed due to exit policy, but we believe the IP
|
|
|
|
address should have been allowed, switch that router to exitpolicy
|
|
|
|
reject *:* until we get our next directory.
|
2004-07-23 02:35:44 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Protocol changes:
|
|
|
|
- 'Extend' relay cell payloads now include the digest of the
|
|
|
|
intended next hop's identity key. Now we can verify that we're
|
|
|
|
extending to the right router, and also extend to routers we
|
|
|
|
hadn't heard of before.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Features:
|
|
|
|
- Tor nodes can now act as relays (with an advertised ORPort)
|
|
|
|
without being manually verified by the dirserver operators.
|
|
|
|
- Uploaded descriptors of unverified routers are now accepted
|
|
|
|
by the dirservers, and included in the directory.
|
|
|
|
- Verified routers are listed by nickname in the running-routers
|
|
|
|
list; unverified routers are listed as "$<fingerprint>".
|
|
|
|
- We now use hash-of-identity-key in most places rather than
|
|
|
|
nickname or addr:port, for improved security/flexibility.
|
2004-08-25 21:45:23 +02:00
|
|
|
- AllowUnverifiedNodes config option to let circuits choose no-name
|
|
|
|
routers in entry,middle,exit,introduction,rendezvous positions.
|
|
|
|
Allow middle and rendezvous positions by default.
|
|
|
|
- When picking unverified routers, skip those with low uptime and/or
|
|
|
|
low bandwidth, depending on what properties you care about.
|
2004-07-23 02:35:44 +02:00
|
|
|
- ClientOnly option for nodes that never want to become servers.
|
|
|
|
- Directory caching.
|
|
|
|
- "AuthoritativeDir 1" option for the official dirservers.
|
|
|
|
- Now other nodes (clients and servers) will cache the latest
|
|
|
|
directory they've pulled down.
|
|
|
|
- They can enable their DirPort to serve it to others.
|
|
|
|
- Clients will pull down a directory from any node with an open
|
|
|
|
DirPort, and check the signature/timestamp correctly.
|
|
|
|
- Authoritative dirservers now fetch directories from other
|
|
|
|
authdirservers, to stay better synced.
|
|
|
|
- Running-routers list tells who's down also, along with noting
|
|
|
|
if they're verified (listed by nickname) or unverified (listed
|
|
|
|
by hash-of-key).
|
|
|
|
- Allow dirservers to serve running-router list separately.
|
|
|
|
This isn't used yet.
|
2004-08-25 21:45:23 +02:00
|
|
|
- You can now fetch $DIRURL/running-routers to get just the
|
|
|
|
running-routers line, not the whole descriptor list. (But
|
|
|
|
clients don't use this yet.)
|
|
|
|
- Clients choose nodes proportional to advertised bandwidth.
|
|
|
|
- Clients avoid using nodes with low uptime as introduction points.
|
|
|
|
- Handle servers with dynamic IP addresses: don't just replace
|
|
|
|
options->Address with the resolved one at startup, and
|
|
|
|
detect our address right before we make a routerinfo each time.
|
|
|
|
- 'FascistFirewall' option to pick dirservers and ORs on specific
|
|
|
|
ports; plus 'FirewallPorts' config option to tell FascistFirewall
|
|
|
|
which ports are open. (Defaults to 80,443)
|
|
|
|
- Try other dirservers immediately if the one you try is down. This
|
|
|
|
should tolerate down dirservers better now.
|
2004-07-23 02:35:44 +02:00
|
|
|
- ORs connect-on-demand to other ORs
|
|
|
|
- If you get an extend cell to an OR you're not connected to,
|
|
|
|
connect, handshake, and forward the create cell.
|
|
|
|
- The authoritative dirservers stay connected to everybody,
|
|
|
|
and everybody stays connected to 0.0.7 servers, but otherwise
|
|
|
|
clients/servers expire unused connections after 5 minutes.
|
|
|
|
- When servers get a sigint, they delay 30 seconds (refusing new
|
|
|
|
connections) then exit. A second sigint causes immediate exit.
|
|
|
|
- File and name management:
|
|
|
|
- Look for .torrc if no CONFDIR "torrc" is found.
|
|
|
|
- If no datadir is defined, then choose, make, and secure ~/.tor
|
|
|
|
as datadir.
|
|
|
|
- If torrc not found, exitpolicy reject *:*.
|
|
|
|
- Expands ~/ in filenames to $HOME/ (but doesn't yet expand ~arma).
|
|
|
|
- If no nickname is defined, derive default from hostname.
|
|
|
|
- Rename secret key files, e.g. identity.key -> secret_id_key,
|
|
|
|
to discourage people from mailing their identity key to tor-ops.
|
|
|
|
- Refuse to build a circuit before the directory has arrived --
|
|
|
|
it won't work anyway, since you won't know the right onion keys
|
|
|
|
to use.
|
|
|
|
- Parse tor version numbers so we can do an is-newer-than check
|
|
|
|
rather than an is-in-the-list check.
|
|
|
|
- New socks command 'resolve', to let us shim gethostbyname()
|
|
|
|
locally.
|
|
|
|
- A 'tor_resolve' script to access the socks resolve functionality.
|
|
|
|
- A new socks-extensions.txt doc file to describe our
|
|
|
|
interpretation and extensions to the socks protocols.
|
|
|
|
- Add a ContactInfo option, which gets published in descriptor.
|
|
|
|
- Write tor version at the top of each log file
|
|
|
|
- New docs in the tarball:
|
|
|
|
- tor-doc.html.
|
|
|
|
- Document that you should proxy your SSL traffic too.
|
2004-08-25 21:45:23 +02:00
|
|
|
- Log a warning if the user uses an unsafe socks variant, so people
|
|
|
|
are more likely to learn about privoxy or socat.
|
|
|
|
- Log a warning if you're running an unverified server, to let you
|
|
|
|
know you might want to get it verified.
|
|
|
|
- Change the default exit policy to reject the default edonkey,
|
|
|
|
kazaa, gnutella ports.
|
|
|
|
- Add replace_file() to util.[ch] to handle win32's rename().
|
|
|
|
- Publish OR uptime in descriptor (and thus in directory) too.
|
|
|
|
- Remember used bandwidth (both in and out), and publish 15-minute
|
|
|
|
snapshots for the past day into our descriptor.
|
|
|
|
- Be more aggressive about trying to make circuits when the network
|
|
|
|
has changed (e.g. when you unsuspend your laptop).
|
|
|
|
- Check for time skew on http headers; report date in response to
|
|
|
|
"GET /".
|
|
|
|
- If the entrynode config line has only one node, don't pick it as
|
|
|
|
an exitnode.
|
|
|
|
- Add strict{entry|exit}nodes config options. If set to 1, then
|
|
|
|
we refuse to build circuits that don't include the specified entry
|
|
|
|
or exit nodes.
|
|
|
|
- OutboundBindAddress config option, to bind to a specific
|
|
|
|
IP address for outgoing connect()s.
|
|
|
|
- End truncated log entries (e.g. directories) with "[truncated]".

Changes in version 0.0.7.3 - 2004-08-12
|
|
|
|
o Stop dnsworkers from triggering an assert failure when you
|
|
|
|
ask them to resolve the host "".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-07-08 04:20:25 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.7.2 - 2004-07-07
|
|
|
|
o A better fix for the 0.0.0.0 problem, that will hopefully
|
|
|
|
eliminate the remaining related assertion failures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-07-04 21:15:11 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.7.1 - 2004-07-04
|
|
|
|
o When an address resolves to 0.0.0.0, treat it as a failed resolve,
|
|
|
|
since internally we use 0.0.0.0 to signify "not yet resolved".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-06-07 21:16:35 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.7 - 2004-06-07
|
2004-06-02 00:42:01 +02:00
|
|
|
o Fixes for crashes and other obnoxious bugs:
|
2004-05-16 10:50:36 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix an epipe bug: sometimes when directory connections failed
|
|
|
|
to connect, we would give them a chance to flush before closing
|
|
|
|
them.
|
2004-06-02 00:42:01 +02:00
|
|
|
- When we detached from a circuit because of resolvefailed, we
|
|
|
|
would immediately try the same circuit twice more, and then
|
|
|
|
give up on the resolve thinking we'd tried three different
|
|
|
|
exit nodes.
|
|
|
|
- Limit the number of intro circuits we'll attempt to build for a
|
|
|
|
hidden service per 15-minute period.
|
|
|
|
- Check recommended-software string *early*, before actually parsing
|
|
|
|
the directory. Thus we can detect an obsolete version and exit,
|
|
|
|
even if the new directory format doesn't parse.
|
|
|
|
o Fixes for security bugs:
|
|
|
|
- Remember which nodes are dirservers when you startup, and if a
|
|
|
|
random OR enables his dirport, don't automatically assume he's
|
|
|
|
a trusted dirserver.
|
|
|
|
o Other bugfixes:
|
2004-05-16 10:50:36 +02:00
|
|
|
- Directory connections were asking the wrong poll socket to
|
|
|
|
start writing, and not asking themselves to start writing.
|
|
|
|
- When we detached from a circuit because we sent a begin but
|
|
|
|
didn't get a connected, we would use it again the first time;
|
|
|
|
but after that we would correctly switch to a different one.
|
|
|
|
- Stop warning when the first onion decrypt attempt fails; they
|
|
|
|
will sometimes legitimately fail now that we rotate keys.
|
2004-05-28 17:05:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- Override unaligned-access-ok check when $host_cpu is ia64 or
|
|
|
|
arm. Apparently they allow it but the kernel whines.
|
|
|
|
- Dirservers try to reconnect periodically too, in case connections
|
2004-06-02 00:42:01 +02:00
|
|
|
have failed.
|
|
|
|
- Fix some memory leaks in directory servers.
|
2004-05-28 17:05:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- Allow backslash in Win32 filenames.
|
2004-06-02 00:42:01 +02:00
|
|
|
- Made Tor build complain-free on FreeBSD, hopefully without
|
|
|
|
breaking other BSD builds. We'll see.
|
2004-06-02 22:08:13 +02:00
|
|
|
- Check directory signatures based on name of signer, not on whom
|
|
|
|
we got the directory from. This will let us cache directories more
|
|
|
|
easily.
|
2004-06-06 20:01:56 +02:00
|
|
|
- Rotate dnsworkers and cpuworkers on SIGHUP, so they get new config
|
|
|
|
settings too.
|
2004-05-16 10:50:36 +02:00
|
|
|
o Features:
|
2004-06-02 00:42:01 +02:00
|
|
|
- Doxygen markup on all functions and global variables.
|
2004-05-28 17:05:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- Make directory functions update routerlist, not replace it. So
|
2004-06-02 00:42:01 +02:00
|
|
|
now directory disagreements are not so critical a problem.
|
2004-05-28 17:05:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- Remove the upper limit on number of descriptors in a dirserver's
|
|
|
|
directory (not that we were anywhere close).
|
|
|
|
- Allow multiple logfiles at different severity ranges.
|
|
|
|
- Allow *BindAddress to specify ":port" rather than setting *Port
|
|
|
|
separately. Allow multiple instances of each BindAddress config
|
|
|
|
option, so you can bind to multiple interfaces if you want.
|
|
|
|
- Allow multiple exit policy lines, which are processed in order.
|
|
|
|
Now we don't need that huge line with all the commas in it.
|
|
|
|
- Enable accept/reject policies on SOCKS connections, so you can bind
|
|
|
|
to 0.0.0.0 but still control who can use your OP.
|
2004-06-07 21:16:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- Updated the man page to reflect these features.
|
2004-05-28 17:05:48 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2004-05-16 10:50:36 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.6.2 - 2004-05-16
|
|
|
|
o Our integrity-checking digest was checking only the most recent cell,
|
|
|
|
not the previous cells like we'd thought.
|
2004-05-16 12:58:50 +02:00
|
|
|

Changes in version 0.0.6.1 - 2004-05-06
|
|
|
|
o Fix two bugs in our AES counter-mode implementation (this affected
|
|
|
|
onion-level stream encryption, but not TLS-level). It turns
|
|
|
|
out we were doing something much more akin to a 16-character
|
|
|
|
polyalphabetic cipher. Oops.

2004-05-07 00:46:32 +02:00
|
|
|
o Retire moria3 as a directory server, and add tor26 as a directory
|
|
|
|
server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-05-02 21:26:51 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.6 - 2004-05-02
|
|
|
|
o Features:
|
|
|
|
- Hidden services and rendezvous points are implemented. Go to
|
|
|
|
http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/ for an index of currently available
|
|
|
|
hidden services. (This only works via a socks4a proxy such as
|
|
|
|
Privoxy, and currently it's quite slow.)
|
|
|
|
- We now rotate link (tls context) keys and onion keys.
|
|
|
|
- CREATE cells now include oaep padding, so you can tell
|
|
|
|
if you decrypted them correctly.
|
|
|
|
- Retry stream correctly when we fail to connect because of
|
|
|
|
exit-policy-reject (should try another) or can't-resolve-address.
|
|
|
|
- When we hup a dirserver and we've *removed* a server from the
|
|
|
|
approved-routers list, now we remove that server from the
|
|
|
|
in-memory directories too.
|
|
|
|
- Add bandwidthburst to server descriptor.
|
|
|
|
- Directories now say which dirserver signed them.
|
|
|
|
- Use a tor_assert macro that logs failed assertions too.
|
|
|
|
- Since we don't support truncateds much, don't bother sending them;
|
|
|
|
just close the circ.
|
|
|
|
- Fetch randomness from /dev/urandom better (not via fopen/fread)
|
|
|
|
- Better debugging for tls errors
|
|
|
|
- Set Content-Type on the directory and hidserv descriptor.
|
|
|
|
- Remove IVs from cipher code, since AES-ctr has none.
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assert trigger for exit nodes that's been plaguing us since
|
|
|
|
the days of 0.0.2prexx (thanks weasel!)
|
|
|
|
- Fix a bug where we were closing tls connections intermittently.
|
|
|
|
It turns out openssl keeps its errors around -- so if an error
|
|
|
|
happens, and you don't ask about it, and then another openssl
|
|
|
|
operation happens and succeeds, and you ask if there was an error,
|
|
|
|
it tells you about the first error.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a bug that's been lurking since 27 may 03 (!)
|
|
|
|
When passing back a destroy cell, we would use the wrong circ id.
|
|
|
|
- Don't crash if a conn that sent a begin has suddenly lost its circuit.
|
|
|
|
- Some versions of openssl have an SSL_pending function that erroneously
|
|
|
|
returns bytes when there is a non-application record pending.
|
|
|
|
- Win32 fixes. Tor now compiles on win32 with no warnings/errors.
|
|
|
|
o We were using an array of length zero in a few places.
|
|
|
|
o Win32's gethostbyname can't resolve an IP to an IP.
|
|
|
|
o Win32's close can't close a socket.
|
|
|
|
o Handle windows socket errors correctly.
|
|
|
|
o Portability:
|
|
|
|
- check for <sys/limits.h> so we build on FreeBSD again, and
|
|
|
|
<machine/limits.h> for NetBSD.
|
|

2004-03-30 20:39:05 +02:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.5 - 2004-03-30
|
|
|
|
o Install torrc as torrc.sample -- we no longer clobber your
|
|
|
|
torrc. (Woo!)
|
|
|
|
o Fix mangled-state bug in directory fetching (was causing sigpipes).
|
|
|
|
o Only build circuits after we've fetched the directory: clients were
|
|
|
|
using only the directory servers before they'd fetched a directory.
|
|
|
|
This also means longer startup time; so it goes.
|
|
|
|
o Fix an assert trigger where an OP would fail to handshake, and we'd
|
|
|
|
expect it to have a nickname.
|
|
|
|
o Work around a tsocks bug: do a socks reject when AP connection dies
|
|
|
|
early, else tsocks goes into an infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
o Hold socks connection open until reply is flushed (if possible)
|
|
|
|
o Make exit nodes resolve IPs to IPs immediately, rather than asking
|
|
|
|
the dns farm to do it.
|
|
|
|
o Fix c99 aliasing warnings in rephist.c
|
|
|
|
o Don't include server descriptors that are older than 24 hours in the
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
o Give socks 'reject' replies their whole 15s to attempt to flush,
|
|
|
|
rather than seeing the 60s timeout and assuming the flush had failed.
|
|
|
|
o Clean automake droppings from the cvs repository
|
|
|
|
o Add in a 'notice' log level for things the operator should hear
|
|
|
|
but that aren't warnings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-03-26 23:20:48 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.4 - 2004-03-26
|
|
|
|
o When connecting to a dirserver or OR and the network is down,
|
|
|
|
we would crash.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-03-26 19:15:31 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.3 - 2004-03-26
|
|
|
|
o Warn and fail if server chose a nickname with illegal characters
|
|
|
|
o Port to Solaris and Sparc:
|
|
|
|
- include missing header fcntl.h
|
|
|
|
- have autoconf find -lsocket -lnsl automatically
|
|
|
|
- deal with hardware word alignment
|
|
|
|
- make uname() work (solaris has a different return convention)
|
|
|
|
- switch from using signal() to sigaction()
|
|
|
|
o Preliminary work on reputation system:
|
|
|
|
- Keep statistics on success/fail of connect attempts; they're published
|
|
|
|
by kill -USR1 currently.
|
|
|
|
- Add a RunTesting option to try to learn link state by creating test
|
|
|
|
circuits, even when SocksPort is off.
|
|
|
|
- Remove unused open circuits when there are too many.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-03-19 08:08:15 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2 - 2004-03-19
|
|
|
|
- Include strlcpy and strlcat for safer string ops
|
|
|
|
- define INADDR_NONE so we compile (but still not run) on solaris
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-03-15 05:21:47 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre27 - 2004-03-14
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Allow internal tor networks (we were rejecting internal IPs,
|
|
|
|
now we allow them if they're set explicitly).
|
|
|
|
- And fix a few endian issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-03-15 02:03:10 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre26 - 2004-03-14
|
|
|
|
o New features:
|
|
|
|
- If a stream times out after 15s without a connected cell, don't
|
|
|
|
try that circuit again: try a new one.
|
|
|
|
- Retry streams at most 4 times. Then give up.
|
|
|
|
- When a dirserver gets a descriptor from an unknown router, it
|
|
|
|
logs its fingerprint (so the dirserver operator can choose to
|
|
|
|
accept it even without mail from the server operator).
|
|
|
|
- Inform unapproved servers when we reject their descriptors.
|
|
|
|
- Make tor build on Windows again. It works as a client, who knows
|
|
|
|
about as a server.
|
|
|
|
- Clearer instructions in the torrc for how to set up a server.
|
|
|
|
- Be more efficient about reading fd's when our global token bucket
|
|
|
|
(used for rate limiting) becomes empty.
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Stop asserting that computers always go forward in time. It's
|
|
|
|
simply not true.
|
|
|
|
- When we sent a cell (e.g. destroy) and then marked an OR connection
|
|
|
|
expired, we might close it before finishing a flush if the other
|
|
|
|
side isn't reading right then.
|
|
|
|
- Don't allow dirservers to start if they haven't defined
|
|
|
|
RecommendedVersions
|
|
|
|
- We were caching transient dns failures. Oops.
|
|
|
|
- Prevent servers from publishing an internal IP as their address.
|
|
|
|
- Address a strcat vulnerability in circuit.c
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-03-04 22:40:38 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre25 - 2004-03-04
|
|
|
|
o New features:
|
|
|
|
- Put the OR's IP in its router descriptor, not its fqdn. That way
|
|
|
|
we'll stop being stalled by gethostbyname for nodes with flaky dns,
|
|
|
|
e.g. poblano.
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- If the user typed in an address that didn't resolve, the server
|
|
|
|
crashed.
|
|
|
|
|
2004-03-15 02:03:10 +01:00
|

|
2004-03-03 10:41:13 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre24 - 2004-03-03
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assertion failure in dns.c, where we were trying to dequeue
|
|
|
|
a pending dns resolve even if it wasn't pending
|
2004-05-09 18:32:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix a spurious socks5 warning about still trying to write after the
|
|
|
|
connection is finished.
|
2004-03-03 10:41:13 +01:00
|
|
|
- Hold certain marked_for_close connections open until they're finished
|
|
|
|
flushing, rather than losing bytes by closing them too early.
|
|
|
|
- Correctly report the reason for ending a stream
|
|
|
|
- Remove some duplicate calls to connection_mark_for_close
|
|
|
|
- Put switch_id and start_daemon earlier in the boot sequence, so it
|
|
|
|
will actually try to chdir() to options.DataDirectory
|
|
|
|
- Make 'make test' exit(1) if a test fails; fix some unit tests
|
|
|
|
- Make tor fail when you use a config option it doesn't know about,
|
|
|
|
rather than warn and continue.
|
|
|
|
- Make --version work
|
|
|
|
- Bugfixes on the rpm spec file and tor.sh, so it's more up to date
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre23 - 2004-02-29
|
|
|
|
o New features:
|
|
|
|
- Print a statement when the first circ is finished, so the user
|
|
|
|
knows it's working.
|
|
|
|
- If a relay cell is unrecognized at the end of the circuit,
|
|
|
|
send back a destroy. (So attacks to mutate cells are more
|
|
|
|
clearly thwarted.)
|
|
|
|
- New config option 'excludenodes' to avoid certain nodes for circuits.
|
|
|
|
- When it daemonizes, it chdir's to the DataDirectory rather than "/",
|
|
|
|
so you can collect coredumps there.
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fix a bug in tls flushing where sometimes data got wedged and
|
|
|
|
didn't flush until more data got sent. Hopefully this bug was
|
|
|
|
a big factor in the random delays we were seeing.
|
|
|
|
- Make 'connected' cells include the resolved IP, so the client
|
|
|
|
dns cache actually gets populated.
|
|
|
|
- Disallow changing from ORPort=0 to ORPort>0 on hup.
|
|
|
|
- When we time-out on a stream and detach from the circuit, send an
|
|
|
|
end cell down it first.
|
|
|
|
- Only warn about an unknown router (in exitnodes, entrynodes,
|
|
|
|
excludenodes) after we've fetched a directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-02-27 01:55:31 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre22 - 2004-02-26
|
|
|
|
o New features:
|
|
|
|
- Servers publish less revealing uname information in descriptors.
|
|
|
|
- More memory tracking and assertions, to crash more usefully when
|
|
|
|
errors happen.
|
|
|
|
- If the default torrc isn't there, just use some default defaults.
|
|
|
|
Plus provide an internal dirservers file if they don't have one.
|
|
|
|
- When the user tries to use Tor as an http proxy, give them an http
|
|
|
|
501 failure explaining that we're a socks proxy.
|
|
|
|
- Dump a new router.desc on hup, to help confused people who change
|
|
|
|
their exit policies and then wonder why router.desc doesn't reflect
|
|
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
- Clean up the generic tor.sh init script that we ship with.
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- If the exit stream is pending on the resolve, and a destroy arrives,
|
|
|
|
then the stream wasn't getting removed from the pending list. I
|
|
|
|
think this was the one causing recent server crashes.
|
|
|
|
- Use a more robust poll on OSX 10.3, since their poll is flaky.
|
|
|
|
- When it couldn't resolve any dirservers, it was useless from then on.
|
|
|
|
Now it reloads the RouterFile (or default dirservers) if it has no
|
|
|
|
dirservers.
|
|
|
|
- Move the 'tor' binary back to /usr/local/bin/ -- it turns out
|
|
|
|
many users don't even *have* a /usr/local/sbin/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-02-18 09:54:35 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre21 - 2004-02-18
|
|
|
|
o New features:
|
|
|
|
- There's a ChangeLog file that actually reflects the changelog.
|
2004-02-18 10:40:18 +01:00
|
|
|
- There's a 'torify' wrapper script, with an accompanying
|
|
|
|
tor-tsocks.conf, that simplifies the process of using tsocks for
|
|
|
|
tor. It even has a man page.
|
2004-02-18 09:54:35 +01:00
|
|
|
- The tor binary gets installed to sbin rather than bin now.
|
|
|
|
- Retry streams where the connected cell hasn't arrived in 15 seconds
|
2004-05-09 18:32:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- Clean up exit policy handling -- get the default out of the torrc,
|
|
|
|
so we can update it without forcing each server operator to fix
|
2004-02-18 09:54:35 +01:00
|
|
|
his/her torrc.
|
|
|
|
- Allow imaps and pop3s in default exit policy
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Prevent picking middleman nodes as the last node in the circuit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-02-17 01:31:39 +01:00
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre20 - 2004-01-30
|
|
|
|
o New features:
|
|
|
|
- We now have a deb package, and it's in debian unstable. Go to
|
|
|
|
it, apt-getters. :)
|
|
|
|
- I've split the TotalBandwidth option into BandwidthRate (how many
|
|
|
|
bytes per second you want to allow, long-term) and
|
|
|
|
BandwidthBurst (how many bytes you will allow at once before the cap
|
|
|
|
kicks in). This better token bucket approach lets you, say, set
|
|
|
|
BandwidthRate to 10KB/s and BandwidthBurst to 10MB, allowing good
|
|
|
|
performance while not exceeding your monthly bandwidth quota.
|
|
|
|
- Push out a tls record's worth of data once you've got it, rather
|
|
|
|
than waiting until you've read everything waiting to be read. This
|
|
|
|
may improve performance by pipelining better. We'll see.
|
|
|
|
- Add an AP_CONN_STATE_CONNECTING state, to allow streams to detach
|
|
|
|
from failed circuits (if they haven't been connected yet) and attach
|
|
|
|
to new ones.
|
|
|
|
- Expire old streams that haven't managed to connect. Some day we'll
|
|
|
|
have them reattach to new circuits instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fix several memory leaks that were causing servers to become bloated
|
|
|
|
after a while.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a few very rare assert triggers. A few more remain.
|
|
|
|
- Setuid to User _before_ complaining about running as root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre19 - 2004-01-07
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fix deadlock condition in dns farm. We were telling a child to die by
|
|
|
|
closing the parent's file descriptor to him. But newer children were
|
|
|
|
inheriting the open file descriptor from the parent, and since they
|
|
|
|
weren't closing it, the socket never closed, so the child never read
|
|
|
|
eof, so he never knew to exit. Similarly, dns workers were holding
|
|
|
|
open other sockets, leading to all sorts of chaos.
|
|
|
|
- New cleaner daemon() code for forking and backgrounding.
|
|
|
|
- If you log to a file, it now prints an entry at the top of the
|
|
|
|
logfile so you know it's working.
|
|
|
|
- The onionskin challenge length was 30 bytes longer than necessary.
|
|
|
|
- Started to patch up the spec so it's not quite so out of date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre18 - 2004-01-02
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fix endian issues with the 'integrity' field in the relay header.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a potential bug where connections in state
|
|
|
|
AP_CONN_STATE_CIRCUIT_WAIT might unexpectedly ask to write.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre17 - 2003-12-30
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Made --debuglogfile (or any second log file, actually) work.
|
|
|
|
- Resolved an edge case in get_unique_circ_id_by_conn where a smart
|
|
|
|
adversary could force us into an infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Features:
|
|
|
|
- Each onionskin handshake now includes a hash of the computed key,
|
|
|
|
to prove the server's identity and help perfect forward secrecy.
|
|
|
|
- Changed cell size from 256 to 512 bytes (working toward compatibility
|
|
|
|
with MorphMix).
|
|
|
|
- Changed cell length to 2 bytes, and moved it to the relay header.
|
|
|
|
- Implemented end-to-end integrity checking for the payloads of
|
|
|
|
relay cells.
|
|
|
|
- Separated streamid from 'recognized' (otherwise circuits will get
|
|
|
|
messed up when we try to have streams exit from the middle). We
|
|
|
|
use the integrity-checking to confirm that a cell is addressed to
|
|
|
|
this hop.
|
|
|
|
- Randomize the initial circid and streamid values, so an adversary who
|
|
|
|
breaks into a node can't learn how many circuits or streams have
|
|
|
|
been made so far.

Changes in version 0.0.2pre16 - 2003-12-14
|
|
|
|
o Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that made HUP trigger an assert
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug where a circuit that immediately failed wasn't being
|
|
|
|
counted as a failed circuit in counting retries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Features:
|
|
|
|
- Now we close the circuit when we get a truncated cell: otherwise we're
|
|
|
|
open to an anonymity attack where a bad node in the path truncates
|
|
|
|
the circuit and then we open streams at him.
|
|
|
|
- Add port ranges to exit policies
|
|
|
|
- Add a conservative default exit policy
|
|
|
|
- Warn if you're running tor as root
|
|
|
|
- on HUP, retry OR connections and close/rebind listeners
|
|
|
|
- options.EntryNodes: try these nodes first when picking the first node
|
|
|
|
- options.ExitNodes: if your best choices happen to include any of
|
|
|
|
your preferred exit nodes, you choose among just those preferred
|
|
|
|
exit nodes.
|
|
|
|
- options.ExcludedNodes: nodes that are never picked in path building
|

Changes in version 0.0.2pre15 - 2003-12-03
|
|
|
|
o Robustness and bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Sometimes clients would cache incorrect DNS resolves, which would
|
|
|
|
really screw things up.
|
|
|
|
- An OP that goes offline would slowly leak all its sockets and stop
|
|
|
|
working.
|
|
|
|
- A wide variety of bugfixes in exit node selection, exit policy
|
|
|
|
handling, and processing pending streams when a new circuit is
|
|
|
|
established.
|
|
|
|
- Pick nodes for a path only from those the directory says are up
|
|
|
|
- Choose randomly from all running dirservers, not always the first one
|
|
|
|
- Increase allowed http header size for directory fetch.
|
|
|
|
- Stop writing to stderr (if we're daemonized it will be closed).
|
|
|
|
- Enable -g always, so cores will be more useful to me.
|
|
|
|
- Switch "-lcrypto -lssl" to "-lssl -lcrypto" for broken distributions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Documentation:
|
|
|
|
- Wrote a man page. It lists commonly used options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Configuration:
|
|
|
|
- Change default loglevel to warn.
|
|
|
|
- Make PidFile default to null rather than littering in your CWD.
|
|
|
|
- OnionRouter config option is now obsolete. Instead it just checks
|
|
|
|
ORPort>0.
|
|
|
|
- Moved to a single unified torrc file for both clients and servers.
|
|
|
|

|
Changes in version 0.0.2pre14 - 2003-11-29
|
|
|
|
o Robustness and bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Force the admin to make the DataDirectory himself
|
|
|
|
- to get ownership/permissions right
|
|
|
|
- so clients no longer make a DataDirectory and then never use it
|
|
|
|
- fix bug where a client who was offline for 45 minutes would never
|
|
|
|
pull down a directory again
|
|
|
|
- fix (or at least hide really well) the dns assert bug that was
|
|
|
|
causing server crashes
|
|
|
|
- warnings and improved robustness wrt clockskew for certs
|
|
|
|
- use the native daemon(3) to daemonize, when available
|
|
|
|
- exit if bind() fails
|
|
|
|
- exit if neither socksport nor orport is defined
|
|
|
|
- include our own tor_timegm (Win32 doesn't have its own)
|
|
|
|
- bugfix for win32 with lots of connections
|
|
|
|
- fix minor bias in PRNG
|
|
|
|
- make dirserver more robust to corrupt cached directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Documentation:
|
|
|
|
- Wrote the design document (woo)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Circuit building and exit policies:
|
|
|
|
- Circuits no longer try to use nodes that the directory has told them
|
|
|
|
are down.
|
|
|
|
- Exit policies now support bitmasks (18.0.0.0/255.0.0.0) and
|
|
|
|
bitcounts (18.0.0.0/8).
|
|
|
|
- Make AP connections standby for a circuit if no suitable circuit
|
|
|
|
exists, rather than failing
|
|
|
|
- Circuits choose exit node based on addr/port, exit policies, and
|
|
|
|
which AP connections are standing by
|
|
|
|
- Bump min pathlen from 2 to 3
|
|
|
|
- Relay end cells have a payload to describe why the stream ended.
|
|
|
|
- If the stream failed because of exit policy, try again with a new
|
|
|
|
circuit.
|
|
|
|
- Clients have a dns cache to remember resolved addresses.
|
|
|
|
- Notice more quickly when we have no working circuits
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Configuration:
|
|
|
|
- APPort is now called SocksPort
|
|
|
|
- SocksBindAddress, ORBindAddress, DirBindAddress let you configure
|
|
|
|
where to bind
|
|
|
|
- RecommendedVersions is now a config variable rather than
|
|
|
|
hardcoded (for dirservers)
|
|
|
|
- Reloads config on HUP
|
|
|
|
- Usage info on -h or --help
|
|
|
|
- If you set User and Group config vars, it'll setu/gid to them.

Changes in version 0.0.2pre13 - 2003-10-19
|
|
|
|
o General stability:
|
|
|
|
- SSL_write no longer fails when it returns WANTWRITE and the number
|
|
|
|
of bytes in the buf has changed by the next SSL_write call.
|
|
|
|
- Fix segfault fetching directory when network is down
|
|
|
|
- Fix a variety of minor memory leaks
|
|
|
|
- Dirservers reload the fingerprints file on HUP, so I don't have
|
|
|
|
to take down the network when I approve a new router
|
|
|
|
- Default server config file has explicit Address line to specify fqdn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Buffers:
|
|
|
|
- Buffers grow and shrink as needed (Cut process size from 20M to 2M)
|
|
|
|
- Make listener connections not ever alloc bufs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Autoconf improvements:
|
|
|
|
- don't clobber an external CFLAGS in ./configure
|
|
|
|
- Make install now works
|
|
|
|
- create var/lib/tor on make install
|
|
|
|
- autocreate a tor.sh initscript to help distribs
|
|
|
|
- autocreate the torrc and sample-server-torrc with correct paths
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Log files and Daemonizing now work:
|
|
|
|
- If --DebugLogFile is specified, log to it at -l debug
|
|
|
|
- If --LogFile is specified, use it instead of commandline
|
|
|
|
- If --RunAsDaemon is set, tor forks and backgrounds on startup
|
|
