[tor-commits] [stem/master] More uniformly renaming to 'tutorials'
commit 89e8fb8f37ebaad8d2009fedba766d1d42831dd8
Author: Damian Johnson <atagar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed Mar 13 09:14:33 2013 -0700
More uniformly renaming to 'tutorials'
Several of our resources, including individual tutorial pages, were still under
'tutorial'. I'm also dropping the old 'tutorial.rst' (I'm not getting any
replies to the tor-dev@ email and having a stale copy is confusing).

-* :ref:`putting-it-together`
-
-.. _what-is-a-descriptor:
-
-What is a descriptor?
----------------------
-
-Tor is made up of two parts: the application and a distributed network of a few
-thousand volunteer relays. Information about these relays is public, and made
-up of documents called **descriptors**.
-
-There are several different kinds of descriptors, the most common ones being...
-
-====================================================================== ===========
-Descriptor Type Description
-====================================================================== ===========
-`Server Descriptor <../api/descriptor/server_descriptor.html>`_ Information that relays publish about themselves. Tor clients once downloaded this information, but now they use microdescriptors instead.
-`ExtraInfo Descriptor <../api/descriptor/extrainfo_descriptor.html>`_ Relay information that tor clients do not need in order to function. This is self-published, like server descriptors, but not downloaded by default.
-`Microdescriptor <../api/descriptor/microdescriptor.html>`_ Minimalistic document that just includes the information necessary for tor clients to work.
-`Network Status Document <../api/descriptor/networkstatus.html>`_ Though tor relays are decentralized, the directories that track the overall network are not. These central points are called **directory authorities**, and every hour they publish a document called a **consensus** (aka, network status document). The consensus in turn is made up of **router status entries**.
-`Router Status Entry <../api/descriptor/router_status_entry.html>`_ Relay information provided by the directory authorities including flags, heuristics used for relay selection, etc.
-====================================================================== ===========
-
-.. _where-can-i-get-the-current-descriptors:
-
-Where can I get the current descriptors?
-----------------------------------------
-
-To work tor needs to have up-to-date information about relays within the
-network. As such getting current descriptors is easy: *just run tor*.
-
-Tor only gets the descriptors that it needs by default, so if you're scripting
-against tor you may want to set some of the following in your `torrc
-<https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#torrc>`_. Keep in mind that these
-add a small burden to the network, so don't set them in a widely distributed
-application. And, of course, please consider `running tor as a relay
-<https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-relay.html.en>`_ so you give back to
-the network!
-
-::
-
- # Descriptors have a range of time during which they're valid. To get the
- # most recent descriptor information, regardless of if tor needs it or not,
- # set the following.
-
- FetchDirInfoExtraEarly 1
-
- # If you aren't actively using tor as a client then tor will eventually stop
- # downloading descriptor information that it doesn't need. To prevent this
- # from happening set...
-
- FetchUselessDescriptors 1
-
- # Tor no longer downloads server descriptors by default, opting for
- # microdescriptors instead. If you want tor to download server descriptors
- # then set...
-
- UseMicrodescriptors 0
-
- # Tor doesn't need extrainfo descriptors to work. If you want tor to download
- # them anyway then set...
-
- DownloadExtraInfo 1
-
-Now that tor is happy chugging along up-to-date descriptors are available
-through tor's control socket...
-
-::
-
- from stem.control import Controller
-
- with Controller.from_port(port = 9051) as controller:
- controller.authenticate()
-
- for desc in controller.get_network_statuses():
- print "found relay %s (%s)" % (desc.nickname, desc.fingerprint)
-
-... or by reading directly from tor's data directory...
-
-::
-
- from stem.descriptor import parse_file
-
- for desc in parse_file(open("/home/atagar/.tor/cached-consensus")):
- print "found relay %s (%s)" % (desc.nickname, desc.fingerprint)
-
-.. _where-can-i-get-past-descriptors:
-
-Where can I get past descriptors?
----------------------------------
-
-Descriptor archives are available on `Tor's metrics site
-<https://metrics.torproject.org/data.html>`_. These archives can be read with
-the `DescriptorReader <api/descriptor/reader.html>`_...
-
-::
-
- from stem.descriptor.reader import DescriptorReader
-
- with DescriptorReader(["/home/atagar/server-descriptors-2013-03.tar"]) as reader:
- for desc in reader:
- print "found relay %s (%s)" % (desc.nickname, desc.fingerprint)
-
-.. _putting-it-together:
-
-Putting it together...
-----------------------
-
-As discussed above there are three methods for reading descriptors...
-
-* With the :class:`~stem.control.Controller` via methods like :func:`~stem.control.Controller.get_server_descriptors` and :func:`~stem.control.Controller.get_network_statuses`.
-* By reading the file directly with :func:`~stem.descriptor.__init__.parse_file`.
-* Reading with the `DescriptorReader <api/descriptor/reader.html>`_. This is best if you have you want to read everything from a directory or archive.
-
-Now lets say you want to figure out who the *biggest* exit relays are. You
-could use any of the methods above, but for this example we'll use the
-:class:`~stem.control.Controller`. This uses server descriptors, so keep in
-mind that you'll likely need to set "UseMicrodescriptors 0" in your torrc for
-this to work.
-

-The Little Relay that Could
-===========================
-
-Let's say you just set up your very first `Tor relay
-<https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-relay.html.en>`_ (thank you!), and now
-you want to write a script that tells you how much it is being used.
-
-First, for any script to talk with your relay it will need to have a control
-port available. This is a port that's usually only available on localhost and
-protected by either a **password** or **authentication cookie**.
-
-Look at your `torrc <https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#torrc>`_ for
-the following configuration options...
-
-::
-
- # This provides a port for our script to talk with. If you set this then be
- # sure to also set either CookieAuthentication *or* HashedControlPassword!
- #
- # You could also use ControlSocket instead of ControlPort, which provides a
- # file based socket. You don't need to have authentication if you use
- # ControlSocket. For this example however we'll use a port.
-
- ControlPort 9051
-
- # Setting this will make Tor write an authentication cookie. Anything with
- # permission to read this file can connect to Tor. If you're going to run
- # your script with the same user or permission group as Tor then this is the
- # easiest method of authentication to use.
-
- CookieAuthentication 1
-
- # Alternatively we can authenticate with a password. To set a password first
- # get its hash...
- #
- # % tor --hash-password "my_password"
- # 16:E600ADC1B52C80BB6022A0E999A7734571A451EB6AE50FED489B72E3DF
- #
- # ... and use that for the HashedControlPassword in your torrc.
-
- HashedControlPassword 16:E600ADC1B52C80BB6022A0E999A7734571A451EB6AE50FED489B72E3DF
-
-When you change your torrc you'll need to either restart Tor is issue a SIGHUP
-for the new settings to take effect. Now let's write a script that tells us how
-many bytes Tor has sent and received...
-
-::
-
- from stem.control import Controller
-
- with Controller.from_port(port = 9051) as controller:
- controller.authenticate() # provide the password here if you set one
-
- bytes_read = controller.get_info("traffic/read")
- bytes_written = controller.get_info("traffic/written")
-
- print "My Tor relay has read %s bytes and written %s." % (bytes_read, bytes_written)
-
-::
-
- % python example.py
- My Tor relay has read 33406 bytes and written 29649.
-
-Congratulations! You've just written your first controller script.

-To Russia With Love
-===================
-
-Say it's 1982, the height of the Cold War, and you're a journalist doing a piece on how the Internet looks from behind the Iron Curtain. Ignoring the minor detail that the Internet doesn't yet exist, we'll walk you through how you could do it - no passport required!
-
-The Internet isn't uniform. Localization, censorship, and selective service based on your IP's geographic location can make the Internet a very different place depending on where you're coming from.
-
-Tor relays are scattered all over the world and, as such, you can pretend to be from any place running an exit. This can be especially useful to evade pesky geolocational restrictions, such as news sites that refuse to work while you're traveling abroad.
-
-Tor makes `configuring your exit locale <https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#ChooseEntryExit>`_ easy through the **ExitNodes** torrc option. Note that you don't need a control port (or even stem) to do this, though they can be useful if you later want to do something more elaborate.
-
-In the following example we're using stem to `start Tor <../api/process.html>`_, then reading a site through it with `PycURL <http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/>`_. This is not always reliable (some relays are lemons) so you may need to run this more than once.
-
-**Do not rely on the following not to leak.** Though it seems to work, DNS resolution and other edge cases might expose your real IP. If you have a suggestion for how to improve this example then please `let me know <http://www.atagar.com/contact/>`_!

-Tortoise and the Hare
-=====================
-
-Controllers have two methods of talking with Tor...
-
-* **Synchronous** - Most commonly you make a request to Tor then receive its
- reply. The :func:`~stem.control.Controller.get_info` calls in the `first
- tutorial <the_little_relay_that_could.html>`_ are an example of this.
-
-* **Asynchronous** - Controllers can subscribe to be notified when various
- kinds of events occur within Tor (see the :data:`~stem.control.EventType`).
- Stem's users provide a callback function to
- :func:`~stem.control.Controller.add_event_listener` which is then notified
- when the event occurs.
-

+

+
+What is a descriptor?
+---------------------
+
+Tor is made up of two parts: the application and a distributed network of a few
+thousand volunteer relays. Information about these relays is public, and made
+up of documents called **descriptors**.
+
+There are several different kinds of descriptors, the most common ones being...
+
+====================================================================== ===========
+Descriptor Type Description
+====================================================================== ===========
+`Server Descriptor <../api/descriptor/server_descriptor.html>`_ Information that relays publish about themselves. Tor clients once downloaded this information, but now they use microdescriptors instead.
+`ExtraInfo Descriptor <../api/descriptor/extrainfo_descriptor.html>`_ Relay information that tor clients do not need in order to function. This is self-published, like server descriptors, but not downloaded by default.
+`Microdescriptor <../api/descriptor/microdescriptor.html>`_ Minimalistic document that just includes the information necessary for tor clients to work.
+`Network Status Document <../api/descriptor/networkstatus.html>`_ Though tor relays are decentralized, the directories that track the overall network are not. These central points are called **directory authorities**, and every hour they publish a document called a **consensus** (aka, network status document). The consensus in turn is made up of **router status entries**.
+`Router Status Entry <../api/descriptor/router_status_entry.html>`_ Relay information provided by the directory authorities including flags, heuristics used for relay selection, etc.
+====================================================================== ===========
+
+.. _where-can-i-get-the-current-descriptors:
+
+Where can I get the current descriptors?
+----------------------------------------
+
+To work tor needs to have up-to-date information about relays within the
+network. As such getting current descriptors is easy: *just run tor*.
+
+Tor only gets the descriptors that it needs by default, so if you're scripting
+against tor you may want to set some of the following in your `torrc
+<https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#torrc>`_. Keep in mind that these
+add a small burden to the network, so don't set them in a widely distributed
+application. And, of course, please consider `running tor as a relay
+<https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-relay.html.en>`_ so you give back to
+the network!
+
+::
+
+ # Descriptors have a range of time during which they're valid. To get the
+ # most recent descriptor information, regardless of if tor needs it or not,
+ # set the following.
+
+ FetchDirInfoExtraEarly 1
+
+ # If you aren't actively using tor as a client then tor will eventually stop
+ # downloading descriptor information that it doesn't need. To prevent this
+ # from happening set...
+
+ FetchUselessDescriptors 1
+
+ # Tor no longer downloads server descriptors by default, opting for
+ # microdescriptors instead. If you want tor to download server descriptors
+ # then set...
+
+ UseMicrodescriptors 0
+
+ # Tor doesn't need extrainfo descriptors to work. If you want tor to download
+ # them anyway then set...
+
+ DownloadExtraInfo 1
+
+Now that tor is happy chugging along up-to-date descriptors are available
+through tor's control socket...
+
+::
+
+ from stem.control import Controller
+
+ with Controller.from_port(port = 9051) as controller:
+ controller.authenticate()
+
+ for desc in controller.get_network_statuses():
+ print "found relay %s (%s)" % (desc.nickname, desc.fingerprint)
+
+... or by reading directly from tor's data directory...
+
+::
+
+ from stem.descriptor import parse_file
+
+ for desc in parse_file(open("/home/atagar/.tor/cached-consensus")):
+ print "found relay %s (%s)" % (desc.nickname, desc.fingerprint)
+
+.. _where-can-i-get-past-descriptors:
+
+Where can I get past descriptors?
+---------------------------------
+
+Descriptor archives are available on `Tor's metrics site
+<https://metrics.torproject.org/data.html>`_. These archives can be read with
+the `DescriptorReader <api/descriptor/reader.html>`_...
+
+::
+
+ from stem.descriptor.reader import DescriptorReader
+
+ with DescriptorReader(["/home/atagar/server-descriptors-2013-03.tar"]) as reader:
+ for desc in reader:
+ print "found relay %s (%s)" % (desc.nickname, desc.fingerprint)
+
+.. _putting-it-together:
+
+Putting it together...
+----------------------
+
+As discussed above there are three methods for reading descriptors...
+
+* With the :class:`~stem.control.Controller` via methods like :func:`~stem.control.Controller.get_server_descriptors` and :func:`~stem.control.Controller.get_network_statuses`.
+* By reading the file directly with :func:`~stem.descriptor.__init__.parse_file`.
+* Reading with the `DescriptorReader <api/descriptor/reader.html>`_. This is best if you have you want to read everything from a directory or archive.
+
+Now lets say you want to figure out who the *biggest* exit relays are. You
+could use any of the methods above, but for this example we'll use the
+:class:`~stem.control.Controller`. This uses server descriptors, so keep in
+mind that you'll likely need to set "UseMicrodescriptors 0" in your torrc for
+this to work.
+
+::
+
+ import sys

+The Little Relay that Could
+===========================
+
+Let's say you just set up your very first `Tor relay
+<https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-relay.html.en>`_ (thank you!), and now
+you want to write a script that tells you how much it is being used.
+
+First, for any script to talk with your relay it will need to have a control
+port available. This is a port that's usually only available on localhost and
+protected by either a **password** or **authentication cookie**.
+
+Look at your `torrc <https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#torrc>`_ for
+the following configuration options...
+
+::
+
+ # This provides a port for our script to talk with. If you set this then be
+ # sure to also set either CookieAuthentication *or* HashedControlPassword!
+ #
+ # You could also use ControlSocket instead of ControlPort, which provides a
+ # file based socket. You don't need to have authentication if you use
+ # ControlSocket. For this example however we'll use a port.
+
+ ControlPort 9051
+
+ # Setting this will make Tor write an authentication cookie. Anything with
+ # permission to read this file can connect to Tor. If you're going to run
+ # your script with the same user or permission group as Tor then this is the
+ # easiest method of authentication to use.
+
+ CookieAuthentication 1
+
+ # Alternatively we can authenticate with a password. To set a password first
+ # get its hash...
+ #
+ # % tor --hash-password "my_password"
+ # 16:E600ADC1B52C80BB6022A0E999A7734571A451EB6AE50FED489B72E3DF
+ #
+ # ... and use that for the HashedControlPassword in your torrc.
+
+ HashedControlPassword 16:E600ADC1B52C80BB6022A0E999A7734571A451EB6AE50FED489B72E3DF
+
+When you change your torrc you'll need to either restart Tor is issue a SIGHUP
+for the new settings to take effect. Now let's write a script that tells us how
+many bytes Tor has sent and received...
+
+::
+
+ from stem.control import Controller
+
+ with Controller.from_port(port = 9051) as controller:
+ controller.authenticate() # provide the password here if you set one
+
+ bytes_read = controller.get_info("traffic/read")
+ bytes_written = controller.get_info("traffic/written")
+
+ print "My Tor relay has read %s bytes and written %s." % (bytes_read, bytes_written)
+
+::
+
+ % python example.py
+ My Tor relay has read 33406 bytes and written 29649.
+
+Congratulations! You've just written your first controller script.

+To Russia With Love
+===================
+
+Say it's 1982, the height of the Cold War, and you're a journalist doing a piece on how the Internet looks from behind the Iron Curtain. Ignoring the minor detail that the Internet doesn't yet exist, we'll walk you through how you could do it - no passport required!
+
+The Internet isn't uniform. Localization, censorship, and selective service based on your IP's geographic location can make the Internet a very different place depending on where you're coming from.
+
+Tor relays are scattered all over the world and, as such, you can pretend to be from any place running an exit. This can be especially useful to evade pesky geolocational restrictions, such as news sites that refuse to work while you're traveling abroad.
+
+Tor makes `configuring your exit locale <https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#ChooseEntryExit>`_ easy through the **ExitNodes** torrc option. Note that you don't need a control port (or even stem) to do this, though they can be useful if you later want to do something more elaborate.
+
+In the following example we're using stem to `start Tor <../api/process.html>`_, then reading a site through it with `PycURL <http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/>`_. This is not always reliable (some relays are lemons) so you may need to run this more than once.
+
+**Do not rely on the following not to leak.** Though it seems to work, DNS resolution and other edge cases might expose your real IP. If you have a suggestion for how to improve this example then please `let me know <http://www.atagar.com/contact/>`_!

+* **Asynchronous** - Controllers can subscribe to be notified when various
+ kinds of events occur within Tor (see the :data:`~stem.control.EventType`).
+ Stem's users provide a callback function to
+ :func:`~stem.control.Controller.add_event_listener` which is then notified
+ when the event occurs.
+
+Try to avoid lengthy operations within event callbacks. They're notified by a
+single dedicated event thread, and blocking this thread will prevent the
+delivery of further events.
+
+With that out of the way lets see an example. The following is a `curses
+<http://docs.python.org/2/howto/curses.html>`_ application that graphs the
+bandwidth usage of Tor...
+
+.. image:: /_static/bandwidth_graph_output.png
+
+To do this it listens to **BW events**
+(the class for which is a :class:`~stem.response.events.BandwidthEvent`). These
+are events that Tor emits each second saying the number of bytes downloaded and
+uploaded.
