    Tutorial section for determining the exit you're using
    
    Neat idea from Arturo for a tutorial section showing users how to determine the
    exit node they're using at a given time.

+Determine The Exit You're Using
+---------------------------------
+
+Finally, lets say you're using Tor and one day you run into something odd. Maybe a misconfigured relay, or maybe one that's being malicious. How can you figure out what exit you're using?
+
+Here's a simple script that prints information about the exits used to service the requests going through Tor...
+
+::
+
+  import functools
+
+  from stem import StreamStatus
+  from stem.control import EventType, Controller
+
+  def main():
+    print "Tracking requests for tor exits. Press 'enter' to end."
+    print
+
+    with Controller.from_port() as controller:
+      controller.authenticate()
+
+      stream_listener = functools.partial(stream_event, controller)
+      controller.add_event_listener(stream_listener, EventType.STREAM)
+
+      raw_input()  # wait for user to press enter
+
+
+  def stream_event(controller, event):
+    if event.status == StreamStatus.SUCCEEDED:
+      circ = controller.get_circuit(event.circ_id)
+
+      exit_fingerprint = circ.path[-1][0]
+      exit_relay = controller.get_network_status(exit_fingerprint)
+
+      print "Exit relay for our connection to %s" % (event.target)
+      print "  address: %s:%i" % (exit_relay.address, exit_relay.or_port)
+      print "  fingerprint: %s" % exit_relay.fingerprint
+      print "  nickname: %s" % exit_relay.nickname
+      print "  locale: %s" % controller.get_info("ip-to-country/%s" % exit_relay.address, 'unknown')
+      print
+
+
+  if __name__ == '__main__':
+    main()
+
+Now if you make a request over tor...
+
+::
+
+  % curl --socks4a 127.0.0.1:9050 google.com
+  <HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
+  <TITLE>301 Moved</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
+  <H1>301 Moved</H1>
+  The document has moved
+  <A HREF="http://www.google.com/";>here</A>.
+  </BODY></HTML>
+
+... this script will tell you about the exit...
+
+::
+
+  % python example.py
+  Tracking requests for tor exits. Press 'enter' to end.
+
+  Exit relay for our connection to 64.15.112.44:80
+    address: 31.172.30.2:443
