Introducing oniux: Kernel-level Tor isolation for any Linux app 
oniux is a tool written by me and some other folks for isolating arbitrary applications through Tor using Linux namespaces.
Check out the amazing blog post!

Many people have heard of Tor in the media, but despite its long history of protecting the free internet, most consider it a niche tool and have never ventured to try it themselves.
In reality, Tor is easy to use for anyone. It helps not only journalists and activists, but anybody who seeks greater privacy online or access to information regardless of location.
What is Tor exactly? How can Tor help you? And why is it such an important tool? Staff writer @Em0nM4stodon explains in the latest Privacy Guides article: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/04/30/in-praise-of-tor/

Trying out the Post-Quantum TLS feature (called ML-KEM) in #OpenSSL 3.5-beta1 and #Tor was a success! 🥳
The experiment is using the same setup as we did with #BoringSSL back when they enabled the Kyber768/x25519 TLS 1.3 group: we use a Tor binary, compiled against a PQC-enabled lib(ssl|crypto), to run a Bridge Server locally and connect a local Bridge Client to the server.
The branch used for this experiment is available from https://gitlab.torproject.org/ahf/tor/-/commits/ahf/openssl-3.5-pqc-experiments
I now have SimpleX Chat, lol. Idk I was bored so I set one up!

In the spirit of a recent post on making the #Fediverse a more welcoming place, renewing a post I had on my old profile but apparently not here: ask me anything! I can't guarantee I'll have all the answers or be fast to reply but lll try to at least say something. Some things I can talk vaguely usefully about include:
#DNS #Google #InfoSec #SRE #SysAdmin #Internet #Unions #Organizing #Baseball #Web #Tor #Privacy and probably a billion more.
Great and detail rich guide for #Tor on #freebsd with #firefox #security settings.

Wild ass day in the Tor node operator world. Got an email from my VPS, forwarding a complaint from WatchDog CyberSecurity saying that my box was scanning SSH ports!
> Oh no, oh no, I knew I should have set up fail2ban, oh god why was I so lackadaisical!
So I remote in to the machine: no unusual network activity, no unusual processes, users, logins, command history, no sign that anything is doing anything I didn't tell it to do.
So what's up? Turns out there's been a widespread campaign where some actor is spoofing IPs to make it look like systems running Tor are scanning port 22: https://forum.torproject.org/t/tor-relays-tor-relays-source-ips-spoofed-to-mass-scan-port-22/15498/14
Operators from all over are saying they're getting nastygrams from their VPS providers because WatchDog is fingering their source IPs (which are being spoofed and NOT part of a global portscanning botnet).
@delroth did an amazing writeup of the whole thing here: https://delroth.net/posts/spoofed-mass-scan-abuse/

Summary of my adventures from last evening, as read in this Mastodon thread: https://mastodon.delroth.net/@delroth/113387965977159983
Vor einigen Wochen berichteten Panorama und STRG_F, dass Strafverfolgungsbehörden das Tor-Netzwerk infiltrieren und überwachen, um Kriminelle zu deanonymisieren. Die Reporter hatten Zugang zu Dokumenten, die vier erfolgreiche Deanonymisierungen zeigen. Ich konnte einige dieser Dokumente einsehen.
Es gerüchtete, dass nur veraltetes #Ricochet betroffen ist. Das ist nicht korrekt. Die 'key findings' habe ich hier zusammengetragen:

At Tor, we are hiring for a user support specialist that speaks Farsi https://www.torproject.org/about/jobs/user-support-farsi-specialist/ #hiring #tor #iran #farsi
We announce the release of onion-lookup v0.1. This open source tool and service is designed to help you search for Tor hidden services / .onion services quickly and efficiently. With its sleek API and user-friendly online interface, onion-lookup simplifies the process of querying and exploring onion addresses without browsing Tor and gather more information.
🔗 Online version https://onion.ail-project.org/

The information is relying on a @ail_project instance operated by the AIL project.
Unfortunately, I2P as a darknet is sometimes forgotten. There is more than just the Tor network!
📨 Latest issue of my curated #cybersecurity and #infosec list of resources for week #39/2024 is out!
