Re: TOR in Java? [signed]



Can you solve the java DNS leak problem?

is it not implicit that a third party tor proxy service, that is not being run by YOU, is gonna be implicitly insecure? If you can't run tor off a cd/usb key, don't use the access point.

Dudes. For the 80,000th time.... Using Java is a bad idea for security reasons. Granted, an application-level implementation isn't as bad as using web-based applets, but still.

Hi Lexi,
which crypto library do you use. We were thinking about doing a Tor port to Java using the cryptlib library.
Is your code accessible?

Hi,



need more implementations for the Tor protocol, and Java is a popular
choice these days.  You might want to start with the code from the
Java Anon Proxy people; I don't know their current status here, but
for a while, they had a working Tor *client* written in Java.



our group is currently developing a Java-Client for the Tor-protocol in
Java. It's in a pre-alpha version, but we can connect and transmit data.
We expect to have something stable by the end of the year (and yes...
we're doing it in our spare time).  We also took a look at the
JAP-Tor-Code and decided to write a new one from scratch.

Taking the code, it would be possible to e.g. compile tor into a
java-application.

Comments are welcome, of course :)
