Tor-ramdisk 20090131 (Default branch)

Image 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. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
This is a minor maintenance update. Tor was updated to version 0.2.0.33 and busybox to 1.13.2. As with all releases, this one has been tested "in the wild". Image

TOR-RESOLVE(1)                                                      Tor Manual                                                      TOR-RESOLVE(1)

NAME
tor-resolve - resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor SYNOPSIS
tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] hostname [sockshost[:socksport]] DESCRIPTION
tor-resolve is a simple script to connect to a SOCKS proxy that knows about the SOCKS RESOLVE command, hand it a hostname, and return an IP address. By default, tor-resolve uses the Tor server running on 127.0.0.1 on SOCKS port 9050. If this isn't what you want, you should specify an explicit sockshost and/or socksport on the command line. OPTIONS
-v Display verbose output. -x Perform a reverse lookup: get the PTR record for an IPv4 address. -5 Use the SOCKS5 protocol. (Default) -4 Use the SOCKS4a protocol rather than the default SOCKS5 protocol. Doesn't support reverse DNS. SEE ALSO
tor(1), torify(1). See doc/socks-extensions.txt in the Tor package for protocol details. AUTHORS
