# Bine
Under development. Goals:
[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/cretz/bine?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/cretz/bine)
* Golang equivalent of https://stem.torproject.org/ (e.g. a maintained https://github.com/yawning/bulb)
* Support everything Stem supports
* Provide Golang abstractions (net.Conn, net.Listener) on onion services
* Key generation utilities
* Support statically compiled Tor (akin to how I did https://github.com/cretz/rtsw-poc)
Bine is a Go API for using and controlling Tor. It is similar to [Stem](https://stem.torproject.org/).
Features:
* Full support for the Tor controller API
* Support for `net.Conn` and `net.Listen` style APIs
* Supports statically compiled Tor to embed Tor into the binary
* Supports both V2 and V3 onion services
It is really easy to create an onion service. For example, assuming `tor` is on the `PATH`, this bit of code will show
a directory server of the current directory:
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"log"
"net/http"
"time"
"github.com/cretz/bine/tor"
)
func main() {
// Start tor with default config (can set start conf's DebugWriter to os.Stdout for debug logs)
fmt.Println("Starting and registering onion service, please wait a couple of minutes...")
t, err := tor.Start(nil, nil)
if err != nil {
log.Panicf("Unable to start Tor: %v", err)
}
defer t.Close()
// Wait at most a few minutes to publish the service
listenCtx, listenCancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 3*time.Minute)
defer listenCancel()
// Create an onion service to listen on any port but show as 80
onion, err := t.Listen(listenCtx, &tor.ListenConf{RemotePorts: []int{80}})
if err != nil {
log.Panicf("Unable to create onion service: %v", err)
}
defer onion.Close()
fmt.Printf("Open Tor browser and navigate to http://%v.onion\n", onion.ID)
fmt.Println("Press enter to exit")
// Serve the current folder from HTTP
errCh := make(chan error, 1)
go func() { errCh <- http.Serve(onion, http.FileServer(http.Dir("."))) }()
// End when enter is pressed
go func() {
fmt.Scanln()
errCh <- nil
}()
if err = <-errCh; err != nil {
log.Panicf("Failed serving: %v", err)
}
}
```
If in `main.go` it can simply be run with `go run main.go`. Of course this uses a separate `tor` process. To embed Tor
statically in the binary, follow the [embedded package docs](https://godoc.org/github.com/cretz/bine/process/embedded)
which will require [building Tor statically](https://github.com/cretz/tor-static). Then with
`github.com/cretz/bine/process/embedded` imported, change the start line above to:
```go
t, err := tor.Start(nil, &tor.StartConf{ProcessCreator: embedded.NewCreator()})
```
Tested on Windows, the original exe file is ~7MB. With Tor statically linked it comes to ~24MB, but Tor does not have to
be distributed separately. Of course take notice of all licenses in accompanying projects.
Also take a look at the [API docs](http://godoc.org/github.com/cretz/bine) and the [examples](examples). The project is
MIT licensed. The Tor docs/specs and https://github.com/yawning/bulb were great helps when building this.

### Bine Examples
The following examples are in this directory:
* [simpleclient](simpleclient) - A simple Tor client for connecting to the web or other onion services
* [simpleserver](simpleserver) - Hosting simple "hello world" Tor onion service
* [embeddedversion](embeddedversion) - Example showing how to dump the version of Tor embedded in the binary
* [embeddedfileserver](embeddedfileserver) - Example showing a file server using Tor embedded in the binary
