Hi all, I just have a look at ~/Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor and see the above mentioned 3 files. I don't really know how they are different in both "content" and "role".
Which file is used to build circuit by Client? Which File is used to checked "the validity of recent-possessing network document"? TO the best of my knowledge, client check whether there are any downloadable descriptors (currently every 10 seconds according to dir-spec.txt). So could anyone please explain or give me a hint of how the client really "CHECK" that? For example: in the cached-microdesc-consensus file contains a descriptor ____ r PDrelay1 AAFJ5u9xAqrKlpDW6N0pMhJLlKs 2015-03-09 10:53:09 95.215.44.189 8080 0 m CPe8dnlRHAy8MxrtSS1QTQzlZl8fesAIahWCwUz5W5U s Fast Running Stable Valid v Tor 0.2.5.10 w Bandwidth=404 ____ in the cached-microdescs file contains this: ____ onion-key -----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY----- MIGJAoGBALx34lHj8UR4uM6uckNlHYZfVi0YsVhOBZ7H0MUbCoe5YMmMCSVLxyaE lNZMQj5RV+ezKUB0TOW7XjJwoL5jq+mn1UGjpaH+ANKZPPpg6kelpxGShdVmxIEI vCxLPM40mAypKKzEoDlYqzv1KcCXzKH3d/KOPRKXu+bMCg6KGxh9AgMBAAE= -----END RSA PUBLIC KEY----- ntor-onion-key 8VFLG7Hs7Phh8vdNCZDOmHUfVu8wa75UgSbj7A+wFig= a [2a02:7aa0:1619::9847:f57c]:8080 family $2224E7AF8101885850EC7F2F9EB99F823E8014BE $5B8706EB8B9130F791B39346765B3978EB657E07 $63084BB607DD0C6E74021422FEB691392208B330 $DCD19D25D6A0DFEB63ECA9A02033B3B3181BCFFC id rsa1024 AAFJ5u9xAqrKlpDW6N0pMhJLlKs @last-listed 2015-03-09 03:46:20 ____ So which value Client will parse and send to Directory Mirrors to Check if a descriptor is still valid or invalid in this case, is that the "AAFJ5u9xAqrKlpDW6N0pMhJLlKs", cos I can only find this is the only common value between two files? Will Client have to send all of "that-value" of all recent possessing descriptors to Mirrors to test? If yes, how the Mirrors will handle those values? Thank you for reading my question, and please correct me if I said something wrong.
