-Description: anonymizing overlay network for TCP
- Tor is a connection-based low-latency anonymous communication system which
- addresses many flaws in the original onion routing design.
- .
- In brief, Onion Routing is a connection-oriented anonymizing communication
- service. Users choose a source-routed path through a set of nodes, and
- negotiate a "virtual circuit" through the network, in which each node
- knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. Traffic flowing down
- the circuit is unwrapped by a symmetric key at each node, which reveals
- the downstream node.
- .
- Basically Tor provides a distributed network of servers ("onion
- routers"). Users bounce their tcp streams (web traffic, ftp, ssh, etc)
- around the routers, and recipients, observers, and even the routers
- themselves have difficulty tracking the source of the stream.
- .
- Note that Tor does no protocol cleaning. That means there is a danger that
- application protocols and associated programs can be induced to reveal
- information about the initiator. Tor depends on Privoxy and similar protocol
- cleaners to solve this problem.
- .
- Client applications can use the Tor network by connecting to the local
- onion proxy. If the application itself does not come with socks support
- you can use a socks client such as tsocks. Some web browsers like mozilla
- and web proxies like privoxy come with socks support, so you don't need an
- extra socks client if you want to use Tor with them.
- .
- This package enables only the onion proxy by default, but it can be configured
- as a relay (server) node.
- .
- Remember that this is development code -- don't rely on the current Tor
- network if you really need strong anonymity.
- .
- The latest information can be found at https://www.torproject.org/, or on the
- mailing lists, archived at http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/ or

-Architecture: any
-Depends: tor (= ${binary:Version})
-Suggests: gdb
-Priority: extra
-Section: debug
-Description: debugging symbols for Tor
- This package provides the debugging symbols for Tor, The Onion Router.
- Those symbols allow your debugger to assign names to your backtraces, which
- makes it somewhat easier to interpret core dumps.
-
-Package: tor-geoipdb
-Architecture: all
-Priority: extra
-Depends: tor (>= ${source:Version})
-Description: geoIP database for Tor
- This package provides a geoIP database for Tor, i.e. it maps IPv4 addresses
- to countries.
- .
- Bridges (special Tor relays that aren't listed in the main Tor directory) use
- this information to report which countries they get access from. This allows
- the Tor network operators to learn if certain countries started blocking
- access to bridges.
