[tor-commits] [stem/master] Adding connection resolution tutorial
commit b0be16b7e93f56e6189cea6b0b991cded1db6a02

Adding connection resolution tutorial
Introducing a new tutorial section called 'East of the Sun & West of the Moon'
(... I love that fairytale) that introduces users to our utility modules.
Presently this just has connection resolution, a spiffy new feature I added
last weekend.

+East of the Sun & West of the Moon
+==================================
+
+The following is an overview of some of the utilities stem provides.
+
+* :ref:`connection-resolution`
+
+.. _connection-resolution:
+
+Connection Resolution
+---------------------
+
+Connection information is a useful tool for learning more about network
+applications like Tor. Our :func:`stem.util.connection.get_connections`
+function provides an easy method for accessing this information, with a few
+caveats...
+
+* Connection resolvers are platform specific. We `support several
+ <../api/util/connection.html#stem.util.connection.Resolver>`_ but not not
+ all, most notably Windows (:trac:`9850`).
+
+* By default Tor runs with a feature called **DisableDebuggerAttachment**. This
+ prevents debugging applications like gdb from analyzing Tor unless it is run
+ as root. Unfortunately this also alters the permissions of the Tor process
+ /proc contents breaking numerous system tools (including our resolvers). To
+ use this function you need to either run as root (discouraged) or add
+ **DisableDebuggerAttachment 0** to your torrc.
+
+Please note that if you operate an exit relay it is **highly** discouraged for
+you to look at or record this information. Not only is doing so eavesdropping,
+but likely also a violation of wiretap laws.
+
+With that out of the way, how do you look up this information? Below is a
+simple script that dumps Tor's present connections.
+
+::
+
+ import sys
+
+ from stem.util.connection import get_connections, get_system_resolvers
+ from stem.util.system import get_pid_by_name
+
+ resolvers = get_system_resolvers()
+
+ if not resolvers:
+ print "Stem doesn't support any connection resolvers on our platform."
+ sys.exit(1)
+
+ picked_resolver = resolvers[0] # lets just opt for the first
+ print "Our platform supports connection resolution via: %s (picked %s)" % (', '.join(resolvers), picked_resolver)
+
+ tor_pids = get_pid_by_name('tor', multiple = True)
+
+ if not tor_pids:
+ print "Unable to get tor's pid. Is it running?"
+ sys.exit(1)
+ elif len(tor_pids) > 1:
+ print "You're running %i instances of tor, picking the one with pid %i" % (len(tor_pids), tor_pids[0])
+ else:
+ print "Tor is running with pid %i" % tor_pids[0]
+
+ print "\nConnections:\n"
+
+ for conn in get_connections(picked_resolver, process_pid = tor_pids[0], process_name = 'tor'):
+ print " %s:%s => %s:%s" % (conn.local_address, conn.local_port, conn.remote_address, conn.remote_port)
+
+::
+
+ % python example.py
+ Our platform supports connection resolution via: proc, netstat, sockstat, lsof, ss (picked proc)
+ Tor is running with pid 17303
+
+ Connections:
+
+ 192.168.0.1:59014 => 38.229.79.2:443
+ 192.168.0.1:58822 => 68.169.35.102:443
