[tor-talk] Tor-ramdisk 20131216 released



Hi everyone

I want to announce to the list that a new release of tor-ramdisk is out. Tor-ramdisk is an i686, x86_64 or MIPS uClibc-based micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. Security is enhanced by hardening the kernel and binaries, and privacy is enhanced by forcing logging to be off at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor configuration file and the private RSA key, which may be exported/imported by FTP or SCP.

Changelog:

Only the i686 and x86_64 ports have been released so far. Tor was updated to 0.2.4.19, libevent to 2.0.21, busybox to 1.21.1, and the kernel to 3.12.4 plus Gentoo's hardened-patches-3.12.4-1.extras. uClibc was kept at its latest release 0.9.33.2 with some backported patches.
