Well, you obviously don't know what you are talking about and did not
even consider reading correctly what I wrote, neither to read node-Tor


What you are saying here is quite trivial, typical of people thinking
that the Tor network will solve everything and is not centralized (but
you seem unsure about it), that's not the case, it's completely wrong
and the "normal" use of the Tor network is for browsing only, basically
the Tor network is still the same since years: 1000 guards, 1000 relays,
1000 exits (so not "hundreds", happier, and there are of course
intersections between them, knowing that they are the supposed working
nodes as tested by node-Tor), quite small at the end with finally many
misbehaving nodes among the 3000 set, not at all able or willing to
handle bitcoin nodes load


Using bitcoin with the Tor network is absurd, using socks proxy with
bitcoin is absurd too (I don't get the comparison with a http proxy,
nothing to do),  except if limited to a local use, ie you socks proxy
inside your device, for example to pipe to node-Tor, but this remains as
a whole dangerous if the local proxy has been hacked, as we could see
recently with malware Tor sw being used by people


Using the Tor protocol for bitcoin is not absurd at all (do you
understand the difference?) + browsers, webRTC, etc I will not repeat
what I wrote


Please do some readings or consider at least what I sent, or ask
questions if what I am saying is unclear for you


But from my standpoint the discussion on this list is not about
explaining all of this that is probably well known by everybody but what
can/could be next to anonymize/help anonymizing bitcoin

 when required and make it a real p2p network


Unfortunately I am afraid that we get moderated here because that's not
the place to give basic lessons about Tor that you don't know

>> CVE-2017-18350 is a buffer overflow vulnerability which allows a
>> malicious
>> SOCKS proxy server to overwrite the program stack on systems with a
>> signed
>> `char` type (including common 32-bit and 64-bit x86 PCs).
>>
>> The vulnerability was introduced in
>> 60a87bce873ce1f76a80b7b8546e83a0cd4e07a5
>> (SOCKS5 support) and first released in Bitcoin Core v0.7.0rc1 in 2012
>> Aug 27.
>> A fix was hidden in d90a00eabed0f3f1acea4834ad489484d0012372
>> ("Improve and
>> document SOCKS code") released in v0.15.1, 2017 Nov 6.
>>
>> To be vulnerable, the node must be configured to use such a malicious
>> proxy in
>> the first place. Note that using *any* proxy over an insecure network
>> (such
>> as the Internet) is potentially a vulnerability since the connection
>> could be
>> intercepted for such a purpose.
>>
>> Upon a connection request from the node, the malicious proxy would
>> respond
>> with an acknowledgement of a different target domain name than the one
>> requested. Normally this acknowledgement is entirely ignored, but if the
>> length uses the high bit (ie, a length 128-255 inclusive), it will be

>> (typically 32-bit), resulting in an effectively infinite read into

>> To fix this vulnerability, the dummy buffer was changed to an explicitly

    <p>Well, you obviously don't know what you are talking about and did
      not even consider reading correctly what I wrote, neither to read
      node-Tor<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>What you are saying here is quite trivial, typical of people
      thinking that the Tor network will solve everything and is not
      centralized (but you seem unsure about it), that's not the case,
      it's completely wrong and the "normal" use of the Tor network is
      for browsing only, basically the Tor network is still the same
      since years: 1000 guards, 1000 relays, 1000 exits (so not
      "hundreds", happier, and there are of course intersections between
      them, knowing that they are the supposed working nodes as tested
      by node-Tor), quite small at the end with finally many misbehaving
      nodes among the 3000 set, not at all able or willing to handle
      bitcoin nodes load</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Using bitcoin with the Tor network is absurd, using socks proxy
      with bitcoin is absurd too (I don't get the comparison with a http
      proxy, nothing to do),  except if limited to a local use, ie you
      socks proxy inside your device, for example to pipe to node-Tor,
      but this remains as a whole dangerous if the local proxy has been
      hacked, as we could see recently with malware Tor sw being used by
      people<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Using the Tor protocol for bitcoin is not absurd at all (do you
      understand the difference?) + browsers, webRTC, etc I will not
      repeat what I wrote<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Please do some readings or consider at least what I sent, or ask
      questions if what I am saying is unclear for you<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>But from my standpoint the discussion on this list is not about
      explaining all of this that is probably well known by everybody
      but what can/could be next to anonymize/help anonymizing bitcoin<br>
    </p>
    <p> when required and make it a real p2p network</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Unfortunately I am afraid that we get moderated here because
      that's not the place to give basic lessons about Tor that you
      don't know<br>

        You are obviously not well abreast of the Tor project,
        regardless of whether it seems centralised, whether it is or it
        isn't, the Tor project is to allow anonymity and connection
        privacy. For this it works very well and there seem to be
        hundreds of known Tor nodes, to be known they are not isolated

        Even if an exit node performs all logging it is only aware of

        middle and exit nodes we still cannot with absolute certainty
        say that the connecting node is the originator and, the eventual
        Bitcoin node is still unaware of the originator IP which is the
        primary objective. Otherwise, can you hide your IP from your ISP

                  free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network consisting
                  of more than seven thousand relays to conceal a user's

            <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Sure, but
              what is questionable here is the use of SOCKS proxy, for
              Tor I think as the main purpose, making it dangerous for
              the "whole bitcoin world" while it's something like of
              zero interest/use (or please let me know what it is beside
              Tor)<br>
              <br>
              The Tor network is very centralized and not designed at
              all to handle p2p networks (which bitcoin is still not),
              it is designed to be used via the Tor Browser to browse
              the web and to hide web servers, not bitcoin nodes, and
              there are a lot of misbehaving/dangerous nodes there,
              there is no encryption in bitcoin protocol, an exit node
              can fake whatever it likes, this seems to be a use case as
              far as I can see, but even if the initiator is configured
              to connect to a hidden bitcoin node, I don't see the point<br>
              <br>
              I have advertised recentlty the open sourcing of node-Tor
              (<a class="x_moz-txt-link-freetext"
                href="https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor"
                moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor</a>)
              here<br>
              <br>
              This one is designed for p2p, not over the Tor network but
              using the Tor protocol, as simple as
              bitcoin.pipe(node-Tor), or &lt;any
              protocol&gt;.pipe(node-Tor), which is the finality of the
              project as far as I see it since years (maybe see
              <a class="x_moz-txt-link-freetext"
                href="http://www.peersm.com/Convergence.pdf"
                moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.peersm.com/Convergence.pdf</a>
              even if I would modify some parts now)<br>
              <br>
              Inside servers or browsers acting as servers also (WebRTC
              or WebSockets), bitcoin peers (servers/browsers) relaying
              the bitcoin anonymized protocol using the Tor protocol
              (and not the Tor network) between each others, there is no
              story of exit nodes here and rdv points would not apply
              for bitcoin use, this "just" adds the internal missing
              encryption and anonymity layer to the bitcoin protocol<br>
              <br>
              Personally I would remove the socks proxy interface from
              bitcoin core, independently of Tor this can be misused too
              and offers absolutely zero security<br>

                          buffer overflow vulnerability which allows a
                          malicious
                          <br>
                          SOCKS proxy server to overwrite the program
                          stack on systems with a signed <br>
                          `char` type (including common 32-bit and
                          64-bit x86 PCs).<br>
                          <br>
                          The vulnerability was introduced in
                          60a87bce873ce1f76a80b7b8546e83a0cd4e07a5 <br>
                          (SOCKS5 support) and first released in Bitcoin
                          Core v0.7.0rc1 in 2012 Aug 27.<br>
                          A fix was hidden in
                          d90a00eabed0f3f1acea4834ad489484d0012372
                          ("Improve and <br>
                          document SOCKS code") released in v0.15.1,
                          2017 Nov 6.<br>
                          <br>
                          To be vulnerable, the node must be configured
                          to use such a malicious proxy in <br>
                          the first place. Note that using *any* proxy
                          over an insecure network (such <br>
                          as the Internet) is potentially a
                          vulnerability since the connection could be <br>
                          intercepted for such a purpose.<br>
                          <br>
                          Upon a connection request from the node, the
                          malicious proxy would respond <br>
                          with an acknowledgement of a different target
                          domain name than the one<br>
                          requested. Normally this acknowledgement is
                          entirely ignored, but if the <br>
                          length uses the high bit (ie, a length 128-255
                          inclusive), it will be <br>
                          interpreted by vulnerable versions as a
                          negative number instead. When the <br>
                          negative number is passed to the recv() system
                          call to read the domain name, <br>
                          it is converted back to an unsigned/positive
                          number, but at a much wider size <br>
                          (typically 32-bit), resulting in an
                          effectively infinite read into and beyond <br>
                          the 256-byte dummy stack buffer.<br>
                          <br>
                          To fix this vulnerability, the dummy buffer
                          was changed to an explicitly <br>
                          unsigned data type, avoiding the conversion
                          to/from a negative number.<br>
