[tor-dev] Preferred compression type?

Given the multiple compression types supported (none, lzma, zlib, zstd), what is the order of preference for runtime use? Put another way, which compression method(s) should be supported to get optimal runtime performance from a Tor node? Thanks. ___ to

FYI, obfs4proxy no longer recognizes address:port in this form: ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 [000.000.000.000]:443 Note the square brackets. Tor 0.3.5.8 / 0.4.0.5 still parses this syntax, and obfs4proxy used to too. As of 0.0.10 it no longer does. On 4/12/19 1:31 AM, Yawning Angel wrote

[tor-dev] curve25519_donna vs. crypto_scalarmult_curve25519?

2015-08-04 Thread Steve Snyder
Given a contemporary release of Tor with a contemporary version of OpenSSL, under what circumstances is the intrinsic curve25519_donna() preferred over the libsodium/NaCl crypto_scalarmult_curve25519(), or vice versa? Does it come down to 32-bit vs. 64-bit? Or CPU instruction sets detected at

Re: [tor-dev] Release: obfs4proxy-0.0.5

2015-04-16 Thread Steve Snyder
The v0.5 binary is substantially larger than the v0.4 binary (7204KB vs.5408KB, both built with Go v1.4.2). Is this expected behavior with the newer version of obfs4proxy? On Wednesday, April 15, 2015 5:19pm, "Yawning Angel" said: > ___ > tor-dev

[tor-dev] Log output cause for concern?

2014-10-02 Thread Steve Snyder
Over 3 days I've gotten 9 instances of the sequence shown below. This on Tor v0.2.5.8-rc / x86_64. I am at 80% CPU utilization with BandwidthRate set to 90Mbps on this 100Mbps interface. Should I be concerned about this log output, or is it just verbose because v0.2.5.x is still in development?

[tor-dev] Preferred OpenSSL config for Tor?

2014-09-16 Thread Steve Snyder
What are the recommended build options for OpenSSL 1.0.1x when building it for use with Tor v0.2.5.x? Put another way, what default OpenSSL features (ciphers, etc.) should be disabled and what optional features should be enabled? My goal here is to build a Tor-oriented OpenSSL, one that dispens

[tor-dev] TBB 3.5 build failure

2013-12-28 Thread Steve Snyder
Attempting to build tbb-3.5.1-build1, and failing. See below for failure. I am building on a fully-updated Ubuntu v12.04LTS/x86_64 system. I am using the USE_LXC method because KVM won't work in this VMware VM. On my first attempt I did a "make all". That didn't work, so I tried "./mkbundle-li

[tor-dev] OpenSSL v1.0.1-beta1 OK with Tor v0.2.2.35

2012-01-03 Thread Steve Snyder
FYI, OpenSSL v1.0.1-beta1 seems to work fine when building and running Tor v0.2.2.35 (Linux/i686). Too early to say anything about performance (critical as the crypto is the performance bottleneck in Tor) but it definitely works as a drop-in replacement for OpenSSL v1.0.0e. http://marc.info/?l

[tor-dev] Is this "fix" Ok for BSD malloc?

2011-03-10 Thread Steve Snyder
When configured using the --enable-openbsd-malloc option Tor v0.2.1.30 will build without error on RHEL5, but then won't run. The cause of the runtime problem is that the symbol __libc_enable_secure is defined in OpenBSD_malloc_Linux.c but not actually built into the GLibC used in RHEL5. Can I
