Hi all. A new release of arm (http://www.atagar.com/arm/) is now available. Besides the normal batch of bug fixes and minor features this includes an interactive interpretor for raw control port access... http://www.atagar.com/arm/images/screenshot_interpretor_full.png http://www.atagar.com/arm/releaseNotes.php#1.4.4

This is intended to be a tool for developers, highly knowledgeable operators, and anyone that would like to learn about Tor's control protocol. It provides usability improvements like tab completion and history scroll-back, along with IRC style interpretor commands...

* /help - provides usage information for all of the tor/interpretor commands and tor's configuration options * /info - queries relay information via fingerprint, nickname, or IP address * /find - searches the backlog for the given regex * /events - displays any events that we've listened for * /write - dumps the interpretor backlog to a file

This can both be used via a new page in the curses interface and as a standalone prompt by running "arm --prompt"... http://www.atagar.com/arm/images/screenshot_interpretorPrompt.png

Hopefully I'm not the only person that finds this to be useful! -Damian

PS. Jesse, Spider.007, and pyllyukko: Tor is now hosting a mirror of the arm tarballs at... https://archive.torproject.org/arm/

This should, of course, be a little preferable for Gentoo, Arch Linux, and Slackware since it provides SSL using their cert. Thanks again for maintaining arm on those platforms!
