tor

I'm experimenting with Node and socks5-https-client . For some reason, certain Tor hidden service ( .onion ) sites return with a connection error. For example, connecting to DuckDuckGo ( 3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion ) works and returns HTML. However, connecting to The Pirate Bay ( uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion ) or TORCH ( xmh57jrzrnw6insl.onion ) returns... Error: SOCKS connection failed. Connection not allowed by ruleset. What does this error mean? How can I avoid it? Here's code to reproduce it: var shttps = require('socks5-https-client'); shttps.get({ hostname: '3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion', path: '',

I found this fantastic answer by @jdharrison on how to launch Tor using RSelenium on windows: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39048970/7837376 In the new version of RSelenium , however, startServer() is defunct and its replacement rsDriver() does not take a java argument as startServer() did before. What is the way to launch Tor as above in firefox in the new RSelenium syntax? Thanks very much (in advance)! You can start the selenium server yourself instead of using rsDriver browserP <- "C:/Users/john/Desktop/Tor Browser/Browser/firefox.exe" jArg <- paste0("-Dwebdriver.firefox.bin=\"", browserP, "

I am trying to use tor for anonymous access through privoxy as a proxy using urllib2. System info: Ubuntu 14.04, recently upgraded from 13.10 through dist-upgrade. This is a piece of code I am using for test purposes: import urllib2 def req(url): proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http": "127.0.0.1:8118"}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support) opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')] return opener.open(url).read() print req('https://check.torproject.org') The above outputs a page with a sorry, but you don't use Tor message. As for my configurations: /etc/tor/torrc

Closed. This question is off-topic. It is not currently accepting answers. Learn more . Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. Closed last year . I want to develop an application which allows users to also communicate over the Tor network. I have done some Googling but I can't seem to find an API or SDK. How does one develop a Tor application? Are there any libraries out there? EDIT: I see there are no libraries or API's available to use Tor. What would I need to know in order to write this Tor application? This is how: https://stem.torproject

I am reading through the documentation of the socksify gem on Rubyforge. I have installed the gem successfully, and I have run this documented code with success to test that my local implementation can replicate it: require 'socksify/http' uri = URI.parse('http://rubyforge.org/') Net::HTTP.SOCKSProxy('127.0.0.1', 9050).start(uri.host, uri.port) do |http| http.get(uri.path) end # => #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true> But how do I e.g. scrape 'http://google.com/' , and get the html content? I wish to parse it with e.g. Nokogiri like this: Nokogiri::HTML(open("http://google.com/)) require

I'm trying to use Multiple TOR exit nodes with Selenium, and I'm trying to create a function that changes the multiple identities. However, it doesn't, and returns no error. I believe there's a problem with my code that I can't quite figure out. Perhaps the controller is failing? (I have stderr() outputted to a file and I get nothing every time. And I've also killed each process of TOR) Here's my code: import socks import socket import subprocess import stem.connection import stem.socket from selenium import webdriver from stem.control import Controller global requiredTorRelays global child
