Whats new in version 0.2.4.23:
- Tor 0.2.5.6-alpha brings us a big step closer to slowing down the risk from guard rotation, and fixes a variety of other issues to get us closer to a release candidate.
- Major features (also in 0.2.4.23):
- Make the number of entry guards configurable via a new NumEntryGuards consensus parameter, and the number of directory guards configurable via a new NumDirectoryGuards consensus parameter. Implements ticket 12688.
- Major bug fixes (also in 0.2.4.23):
- Fix a bug in the bounds-checking in the 32-bit curve25519-donna implementation that caused incorrect results on 32-bit implementations when certain malformed inputs were used along with a small class of private ntor keys. This bug does not currently appear to allow an attacker to learn private keys or impersonate a Tor server, but it could provide a means to distinguish 32-bit Tor implementations from 64-bit Tor implementations. Fixes bug 12694; bug fix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Bug found by Robert Ransom; fix from Adam Langley.
- Major bug fixe...
Publisher review:Tor is a free and open source privacy toolset for a wide range of organizations and people who want to improve their safety and security on the Internet.
Tor makes your Internet usage (instant messaging, IRC, SSH, etc.) anonymous. To do this, it creates a mesh network, where each user is a node connected network. Data flows in encrypted between nodes to the recipient or to the machine that acts as a server. Tor installation is simple, but requires the use of a rapid configuration of applications connected to the Net (Browser, Instant Messenger, etc.)
Operating system:Mac OS X
