These still won't do anything till I get the values to be filled in.
Also, I changed the API a little (with corresponding changes in
directory.c) to match things that it's easier to store.
Checking all of these parameter lists for every single connection every second
seems like it could be an expensive waste.
Updating globally cached versions when there is a new consensus will still
allow us to apply consensus parameter updates to all existing connections
immediately.
This defense will cause Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and other routers operating
in the default configuration to collapse netflow records that would normally
be split due to the 15 second flow idle timeout.
Collapsing these records should greatly reduce the utility of default netflow
data for correlation attacks, since all client-side records should become 30
minute chunks of total bytes sent/received, rather than creating multiple
separate records for every webpage load/ssh command interaction/XMPP chat/whatever
else happens to be inactive for more than 15 seconds.
The defense adds consensus parameters to govern the range of timeout values
for sending padding packets, as well as for keeping connections open.
The defense only sends padding when connections are otherwise inactive, and it
does not pad connections used solely for directory traffic at all. By default
it also doesn't pad inter-relay connections.
Statistics on the total padding in the last 24 hours are exported to the
extra-info descriptors.
This change is the only one necessary to allow future versions of
the microdescriptor consensus to replace every 'published' date with
e.g. 2038-01-01 00:00:00; this will save 50-75% in compressed
microdescriptor diff size, which is quite significant.
This commit is a minimal change for 0.2.9; future series will
reduce the use of the 'published' date even more.
Implements part of ticket 21642; implements part of proposal 275.
This patch is just:
* Code movement
* Adding headers here and there as needed
* Adding a bridges_free_all() with a call to it.
It breaks compilation, since the bridge code needed to make exactly
2 calls into entrynodes.c internals. I'll fix those in the next
commit.
If a consensus expires while we are waiting for certificates to download,
stop waiting for certificates.
If we stop waiting for certificates less than a minute after we started
downloading them, do not consider the certificate download failure a
separate failure.
Fixes bug 20533; bugfix on commit e0204f21 in 0.2.0.9-alpha.
Relays do not deliberately launch multiple attempts, so the impact of this
bug should be minimal. This fix also defends against bugs like #20499.
Bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
As before, we check server protocols whenever server_mode(options)
is true and we check client protocols whenever server_mode(options)
is false.
Additionally, we now _also_ check client protocols whenever any
client port is set.
It's a macro that calls down to a function whose behavior has been
getting progresively more complicated.... but we named it as if it
were a variable. That's not so smart. So, replace it with a
function call to a function that was just doing "return
current_consensus".
Fixes bug 20176.
For a brief moment in networkstatus_set_current_consensus(), the old
consensus has been freed, but the node_t objects still have dead
pointers to the routerstatus_t objects within it. During that
interval, we absolutely must not do anything that would cause Tor to
look at those dangling pointers.
Unfortunately, calling the (badly labeled!) current_consensus macro
or anything else that calls into we_use_microdescriptors_for_circuits(),
can make us look at the nodelist.
The fix is to make sure we identify the main consensus flavor
_outside_ the danger zone, and to make the danger zone much much
smaller.
Fixes bug 20103. This bug has been implicitly present for AGES; we
just got lucky for a very long time. It became a crash bug in
0.2.8.2-alpha when we merged 35bbf2e4a4 to make
find_dl_schedule start looking at the consensus, and 4460feaf28
which made node_get_all_orports less (accidentally) tolerant of
nodes with a valid ri pointer but dangling rs pointer.
