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