Tor-ramdisk 20090125 (MIPS Port branch)
Tor-ramdisk is an i686 uClibc-based micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Security is enhanced in tor-ramdisk by employing a monolithically compiled GRSEC/PAX patched kernel and hardened system tools. Privacy is enhanced by turning off logging at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor configuration file and the private RSA key, which may be exported/imported by FTP.

This initial port of tor-ramdisk to the MIPS architecture has only been tested in a QEMU emulated environment, but is functional despite known issues. Its is built using tor-0.2.0.33, busybox-1.13.2, and linux-2.6.18.6. Unlike the default branch, binaries are statically linked against glibc, and a vanilla kernel is employed. Image

USEWITHTOR(1)						      General Commands Manual						     USEWITHTOR(1)

NAME

       usewithtor - Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the torsocks(8) library to transparently allow an application to use a SOCKS proxy.

SYNOPSIS

       usewithtor [application [application's arguments]]

DESCRIPTION

       usewithtor is a wrapper between the torsocks library and the application what you would like to run socksified.

OPTIONS

       [application [application's arguments]]
	      run  the application as specified with the environment (LD_PRELOAD) set such that torsocks(8) will transparently proxy SOCKS connec-
	      tions in that program.

USEWITHTOR VERSUS TORSOCKS

       usewithtor runs torsocks(1) with the default configuration file, located at /etc/torsocks.conf.	Running torsocks(1) directly means that no
       configuration  file  will  be  used (unless you manually set the TORSOCKS_CONF_FILE or TSOCKS_CONF_FILE environment variable), instead tor-
       socks(8) will use defaults that are sensible for most Tor installations.

USEWITHTOR VERSUS TORIFY

       usewithtor(1) and torify(1) intend to achieve the same ends for most practical purposes.  However  torify(1)  will  use	a  default  tsocks
       installation if one exists.  Usewithtor(1) will only ever use a torsocks(8) installation.
