1 The contrib/ directory contains small tools that might be useful for using
2 with Tor. A few of them are included in the Tor source distribution; you can
3 find the others in the main Tor repository. We don't guarantee that they're
6 dirauth-tools/ -- Tools useful for directory authority administrators
7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
9 add-tor is an old script to manipulate the approved-routers file.
11 nagios-check-tor-authority-cert is a nagios script to check when Tor
12 authority certificates are expired or nearly expired.
14 clang/ -- Files for use with the clang compiler
15 -----------------------------------------------
17 sanitize_blacklist.txt is used to build Tor with clang's dynamic
18 AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer. It contains detailed
19 instructions on configuration, build, and testing with clang's sanitizers.
21 client-tools/ -- Tools for use with Tor clients
22 -----------------------------------------------
24 torify is a small wrapper script around torsocks.
26 tor-resolve.py uses Tor's SOCKS port extensions to perform DNS lookups. You
27 should probably use src/tools/tor-resolve instead.
29 dist/ -- Scripts and files for use when packaging Tor
30 -----------------------------------------------------
32 torctl, rc.subr, and tor.sh are init scripts for use with SysV-style init
33 tools. Everybody likes to write init scripts differently, it seems.
35 tor.service is a sample service file for use with systemd.
37 The suse/ subdirectory contains files used by the suse distribution.
39 operator-tools/ -- Tools for Tor relay operators
40 ------------------------------------------------
42 tor-exit-notice.html is an HTML file for use with the DirPortFrontPage
43 option. It tells visitors that your relay is a Tor exit node, and that they
44 shouldn't assume you're the origin for the traffic that you're delivering.
46 tor.logrotate is a configuration file for use with the logrotate tool. You
47 may need to edit it to work for you.
49 linux-tor-prio.sh uses Linux iptables tools to traffic-shape your Tor relay's
50 traffic. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
52 or-tools/ -- Tools for interacting with relays
53 ----------------------------------------------
55 checksocks.pl is a tool to scan relays to see if any of them have advertised
56 public SOCKS ports, so we can tell them not to.
58 check-tor is a quick shell script to try doing a TLS handshake with a router
59 or to try fetching a directory from it.
61 exitlist is a precursor of check.torproject.org: it parses a bunch of cached
62 server descriptors to determine which can connect to a given address:port.
64 win32build -- Old files for windows packaging
65 ---------------------------------------------
67 You shouldn't need these unless you're building some of the older Windows
