Packet Storm

Tor-ramdisk i686 UClibc-based Linux Distribution MIPS 20120923: Posted Sep 24, 2012; Authored by Anthony G. Basile | Site opensource.dyc.edu; Tor-ramdisk is an i686 uClibc-based micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Security is enhanced by employing a monolithically compiled GRSEC/PAX patched kernel and hardened system tools. Privacy is enhanced by turning off logging at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor configuration file and the private RSA key which may be exported/imported by FTP. MIPS version.; Changes: For the i686 and x86_64 ports, Tor was updated to 0.2.2.39, openssh to 6.1p1, and the kernel to 3.4.7 plus Gentoo's hardened-patches-3.4.7-1.extras. The MIPS port also incorporates these changes, but for this architecture, libevent was updated to 2.0.20, while the kernel was kept at vanilla 3.2.5.; tags | tool, kernel, peer2peer; systems | linux; SHA-256 | a47bb94b0c90c5a4b72dccdd7d4b1198c2c175a2ae55b6b8cac07f66b9193905; Download | Favorite | View
