hi folks!

i wrote a quick and dirty howto install, run and control the tor service on your meego device:


tor (the onion router) on meego harmattan




here’s a quick and dirty howto run the tor-service on your meego/harmattan device for anonymous internet traffic:

pre-dependencies:

inception
opensh_1.00_armel (incept the package … you need it to gain more rights)
after the inception of opensh, you can try to check if it worked:

~ $ id
uid=29999(user) gid=29999(users) groups=0(root),20(dialout),44(video),670(pulse-access),29999(users),30011(metadata-users),30016(gallerycoredata-users),30019(calendar),9990210,9990276,9990277,999 0279,9990281, 9990282,9990284,9990285,9990286,9990287,9990288,99 90289,9990609
~ $ opensh

/home/user # id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(daemon),2(bin),3(sys),4(adm),5(tt y),6(disk),7(lp),8(mail), 9(news),10(uucp),12(man),13(proxy),15(kmem),20(dia lout),21(fax),22(voice), 24(cdrom),25(floppy),26(tape),27(sudo),29(audio),3 0(dip),33(www-data),34(backup),37(operator),38(list),39(irc),40( src),41(gnats),42(shadow), 43(utmp),44(video),45(sasl),46(plugdev),50(staff), 60(games),100(libuuid), 101(debian-tor),669(pulse),670(pulseaccess),671(pulsert),2999 6(cal), 29999(users),30002(input),30003(i2c),30004(adc),30 005(upstart),30010(crypto), 30011(metadatausers),30012(phonet),30013(signon),3 0014(csd), 30015(messagebus),30016(gallerycoredatausers),3001 7(acm), 30018(osa),30019(calendar),30020(libaccountsnoa),3 0021(lpm), 30022(visualreminder),30023(nfc),30024(location),3 0025(slpgwd), 30026(haldaemon),30027(powerdev),30028(developer), 30029(ssh),65100(spool), 65534(nogroup),9990001,9990004,9990245,9990256,999 0257,9990258,9990259, 9990260,9990261,9990262,9990263,9990264,9990265,99 90266,9990270,9990276, 9990277,9990279,9990281,9990282,9990284,9990285, 9990286,9990287,9990288,9990289,9990294,9990297,99 90298,9990300, 9990301,9990302,9990306,9990307,9990308,9990309,99 90313,9990314, 9990315,9990316,9990317,9990320,9990326,9990327, 9990330,9990331,9990332,9990334,9990337,9990346,99 90352,9990353, 9990355,9990356,9990361,9990367,9990368,9990374,99 90376,9990377, 9990381,9990382,9990384,9990385,9990387,9990388, 9990390,9990391,9990393,9990394,9990396,9990397,99 90401,9990402, 9990403,9990404,9990405,9990406,9990407,9990408,99 90409,9990410, 9990413,9990414,9990415,9990416,9990417,9990418, 9990419,9990420,9990421,9990422,9990423,9990424,99 90427,9990430, 9990433,9990438,9990439,9990440,9990442,9990448,99 90453,9990454, 9990466,9990478,9990482,9990483,9990491,9990492, 9990493,9990494,9990497,9990500,9990501,9990508,99 90511,9990512, 9990521,9990526,9990534,9990536,9990547,9990574,99 90575,9990577, 9990578,9990588,9990590,9990594,9990649
whooop … looks good!

now we come to some tricky stuff:

enable rzr’s repository (setup repository)
install tor through command line: apt-get install tor
… apt will now go crazy with alot of permission errors:

chown: /var/lib/tor: Operation not permitted
to fix this – change the ownership for all the errors manually (through opensh):

chown debian-tor:debian-tor /var/lib/tor
chown debian-tor:debian-tor /var/run/tor
…

… now we have to check if we use our phone as dns-server …

the file “/etc/resolv.conf” should contain the following string:

nameserver 127.0.0.1
… the next step is to configure the torrc file “/etc/tor/torrc”

mine looks like this:
SocksPort 9050 # what port to open for local application connections
SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1 # accept connections only from localhost
VirtualAddrNetwork 10.192.0.0/10
AutomapHostsOnResolve 1
TransPort 9040
DNSPort 53
RunAsDaemon 1
… tor should be staring up as a daemon now!

to make things easier, I packed some scripts together to handle tor through 3 desktop icons:

to start tor for all traffic
to start tor in background (for example: in fennec/firefox set socks proxy to localhost:9050)
to stop tor and unset system-wide proxy settings



here you can download torswitch0.1

cheers!
