IP addresses on the list
by Charly Ghislain 05 Dec '18

05 Dec '18

We have seen ip addresses posted on this list recently. They were coming from the logs. I think it would be nice if the software powering this list could scramble all ips in message bodies. At least having to reformat them in order to avoid that filter would give the poster some time to realize if it is a good idea to post it in the first place. I am also questioning myself whether addresses should be printed in log files altogether. Maybe even with the unsafe flag on - at least for released versions. If one wants to know which ip is connecting to her bridge, she can use whatever network capture software already existing. Any opinion? Thanks, Charly

If it wasn't, would posting the ip address of a client connecting to a bridge in here compromise her anonymity and/or allow one to firewall/blacklist her traffic? Im assuming one could guess the ip address of the running bridge based on the poster email address.

Fwd: Throughput of each circuit
by marziyeh latifi 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Hello,I have two questions about tor's relay: 1-How can I calculate the throughput of each circuit in a relay?I mean that how can I calculate the number of cells that are sent from circuit queue to the output buffer per second in each relay? 2-What is the difference between circuit and channel in relays? I'm looking forward to hearing from you! thanks! Marziyeh

Missing more information about bridge >directory authority … >From https://blog.torproject.org/new-bridge-authority: "The Bridge Authority is a simple but essential piece of the Tor Network. Unlike the other directory authorities, the Bridge Authority does not get a vote in Tor's consensus protocol. Instead, it serves to aggregate relay descriptors which Tor Bridges send to it, checking their cryptographic validity and testing that the Bridges' ORPorts within these descriptors are reachable" The last part is what causes the connections you see

Since there have also been other hypothesis about at least some of these "UbuntuCore" relays in the past (see bad-relays ML archive from 2017-11-13), it would be great if you could elaborate on how you came to that conclusion. thanks, nusenu -- https://twitter.com/nusenu_ https://mastodon.social/@nusenu
