Advanced Onion Router 0.3.0.11 description
Advanced Onion Router is designed to be a client for OR network and intended to be an improved alternative for Tor+Vidalia+Privoxy bundle for Windows users. It is able to "force" a program and its plugins to use the Tor proxy regardless of its configured proxy settings.
Onion Routing is a distributed overlay network designed to anonymize TCP-based applications like web browsing, secure shell, and instant messaging. Clients choose a path through the network and build a circuit, in which each node (or “onion router” or “OR”) in the path knows its predecessor and successor, but no other nodes in the circuit. Traffic flows down the circuit in fixed-size cells, which are unwrapped by a
symmetric key at each node (like the layers of an onion) and relayed downstream.
What's New in This Release:
· [tor-0.2.2.38] Avoid read-from-freed-memory and double-free bugs that could occur when a DNS request fails while launching it. Fixes bug 6480; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
· [tor-0.2.2.38] Avoid an uninitialized memory read when reading a vote or consensus document that has an unrecognized flavor name. This read could lead to a remote crash bug. Fixes bug 6530; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
· [tor-0.2.2.38] Try to leak less information about what relays a client is choosing to a side-channel attacker. Previously, a Tor client would stop iterating through the list of available relays as soon as it had chosen one, thus finishing a little earlier when it picked a router earlier in the list. If an attacker can recover this timing information (nontrivial but not proven to be impossible), they could learn some coarse-grained information about which relays a client was picking (middle nodes in particular are likelier to be affected than exits). The timing attack might be mitigated by other factors (see ...
