General thread about Tor.

Is there any problem with going to https://leftypol.org/ and then clicking on the .onion site? I can't store http://76i2c3hn55fcj5nut3tqlboqqbbh23zvphv7lefk3vftpx6wketlanyd.onion/ in my browser because it's in a disposable VM.

Desktop file like such:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://76i2c3hn55fcj5nut3tqlboqqbbh23zvphv7lefk3vftpx6wketlanyd.onion/tech/cat
alog.html
VM=web

Get a little scripty like such:
#!/bin/bash

URL=$(grep 'URL' "$1" | awk 'BEGIN{ FS = "="} {print $2}' -)
VM=$(grep 'VM' "$1" | awk 'BEGIN{ FS = "="} {print $2}' -)
onion=$(grep "\.onion" "$1" )
case $onion in
        "") qvm-run-vm $VM firefox-esr $URL;;
        *)  qvm-run-vm $VM torbrowser $URL;;
esac


(there's also qvm-open-in-dvm)

and put in a desktop file under /usr/share/applications/ and set it to exec your script for application/x-mswinurl mimetype (you might need to fuck with mimeinfo or mimeapps documents? idk :p dont remember, probably not, maybe u know better than I). Then keep a bookmark file and open them at your leisure… its not perfect tho - these days i use the desktop file system and just open in vim, then copy paste lmao

What happens when Qubes updates? Does this get overwritten and you have to do it again?

 No.16319

is it true that the tor network is run by glowies?

 No.16325

>>16313
oh sorry i didnt clarify, but this goes in an appvm or smth, not dom0. The idea is to use a file manager as a bookmark opener.
Though when i was searching for this stuff i noticed my desktop file for the bookmark opener script was gone so it possibly does get rmoved, maybe after update, maybe if you just never use it like me

>>16319
semi-tru. They used to be the bulk of funding, they rely on it and helped develop it, but the nodes are ran by volunteers, which for the most part seem like not-glowies. There are mechanisms for removing sussy nodes btw, and the tor people are pretty good. Lots of criminals rely on tor to keep them safe, and they are also huge contributors to the devs/foundation, and some more self-aware ones run nodes.

Also as a protocol for anonymizing IP and encrypting packets - it just works, it hasnt been broken, yet.

Does clearnet torrenting at the same time as torbrowser browsing reduce security in any way? Just legal torrents.

Anyone who asks about threat models gets cursed to die horribly.

It shouldn't, I can't think of any way it would.

A good idea for a hidden service is an e-book library, or general warez stuff that you have and want to be able to share anonymously

Theoretically it can actually, not wrt security but anonymity.

Imagine your Internet connection is spotty (and maybe not by chance). An observer could notice that the pattern of your torrenting connections matches the pattern of some endpoint Tor connections, so it's possible to correlate the two. However that would require detailed monitoring of a huge chunk of the global network.

You might think the US would spend resources on such extensive monitoring only if its existence was fundamentally threatened, but these days even a hobby weather balloon is an equal threat to the US gov as Al Qaeda going nuclear. So all of our threat models need to be completely revised.

be aware gajim has a decent amount of security vulnerabilities, not as much as other XMPP client implementations, that you should keep up to date on

I could be wrong but aren't there a lot of people torrenting different things at the same time ? Seems to me it would be hard to correlate the two, especially if the user hides his location.

do you use Qubes?

change your app shortcuts in Qubes Manager to allow your disposable vms to Open File Manager.

Start your disposable by opening file manager.

use the text bar in file mangaer to navigate to home/user/.tb/tor-browser

now you can double click on "start tor browser desktop" to open tor

from tor you can save bookmarks

since you have file manager open you can send the bookmark files from your disposable to Vault or another permanent qube.

you can also import bookmarks to your disposable from Vault and then to your tor browser when you make a new disposable.
