Users choose a source-routed path through a set of nodes, and + negotiate a "virtual circuit" through the network, in which each node + knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. Traffic flowing down + the circuit is unwrapped by a symmetric key at each node, which reveals + the downstream node. + . + Basically Tor provides a distributed network of servers ("onion + routers"). Users bounce their tcp streams (web traffic, ftp, ssh, etc) + around the routers, and recipients, observers, and even the routers + themselves have difficulty tracking the source of the stream. + . + Note that Tor does no protocol cleaning. That means there is a danger that + application protocols and associated programs can be induced to reveal + information about the initiator. Tor depends on Privoxy and similar protocol + cleaners to solve this problem. + . + Client applications can use the Tor network by connecting to the local + onion proxy. If the application itself does not come with socks support + you can use a socks client such as tsocks. Some web browsers like mozilla + and web proxies like privoxy come with socks support, so you don't need an + extra socks client if you want to use Tor with them. + . + This package enables only the onion proxy by default, but it can be configured + as a relay (server) node. + . + Remember that this is development code -- don't rely on the current Tor + network if you really need strong anonymity. + . + The latest information can be found at http://tor.eff.org/, or on the + mailing lists, archived at http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/ or + http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/. + +Package: tor-dbg +Architecture: any +Depends: tor (= ${Source-Version}) +Suggests: gdb +Priority: extra +Description: debugging symbols for Tor + This package provides the debugging symbols for Tor, The Onion Router. + Those symbols allow your debugger to assign names to your backtraces, which + makes it somewhat easier to interpret core dumps. |
