I have been writing a tor implementation (using v3 addresses) and have gotten stuck on how the client is supposed to retrieve the introduction point(s) of the hidden service from the EdDSA public key. So how exactly is the HSDir selected based on the public key, and what data does the client send to that HSDir (or whatever place stores the introduction points) to retrieve the introduction points, and what data does the node send back? If possible, could you also link the tor reference section...| Recent Questions - Tor Stack Exchange
How can I check to see if a given Onion Service is still in-use? To be clear: I'm not asking about just Onion Services bound to port 80. Of course I can just curl it, but that won't tell me if the Onion Service is running something on another port. I'm trying to find an XMPP server that uses an Onion Service. I found several lists of XMPP servers and their .onion names, but I expect most of these services are offline. 2n3tvihf4n27pqyqdtcqywl33kbjuv2kj3eeq6qvbtud57jwiaextmid.onion 32qywqnlnqzb...| Recent Questions - Tor Stack Exchange
This config has previously worked fine with nginx, but using HAProxy UNIX socket listener bind unix@/var/run/tor/onionlinkhere.sock, it returns "Unable to connect" in Tor Browser. However, using localhost TCP port binding does work. Does anyone know why using UNIX socket to bind does not work? Below are the config files, with the alternative localhost port solution commented out. torrc: HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/onionlinkhere.onion/ HiddenServicePort 80 unix:/var/run/tor/onionlinkhere.soc...| Recent Questions - Tor Stack Exchange
The result of the verifying_key() method is VerifyingKey (PublicKey) that is not the same as the true PublicKey in the hs_ed25519_public_key file. I’ve been trying to solve this for a few days now and searching for information, but I haven’t found anything relevant. I’m using the public and private keys of the respective hidden service, but I get a completely different onion domain. The key pair is correct. I think the problem has to do something related with the private key since the o...| Recent Questions - Tor Stack Exchange
