Tor-ramdisk 20090131 (Default branch)
01-31-2009
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.

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. SEE ALSO
