Re: getinfo circuit-status



OK, I already thought, that a node with real name (not the fingerprint) could be identified clearly. Can someone help with my first question (which of the circuits from "getinfo circuit-status" TOR will use)?

Not sure about the first question (my guess would be either multiple
circuits are built for added bandwidth or for complimentary exit
policies - docs or someone else could answer this).

As for the second question, I'm assuming that entries using nickname
(verses a fingerprint like
"$4F0826FA4C325C3CAA0054A6E023E566302C20C7") have the named flag and
hence won't have a problem with ambiguity. Unfortunately the
control-spec is a little tight lipped on this point so don't blame you
for wondering about it. Cheers! -Damian

Hi,

when interacting with tor control I can get the circuit with command
"getinfo circuit-status". What's a bit confusing for me, there are more than
one circuits:

getinfo circuit-status
250+circuit-status=
51 BUILT rueckgrat,myrnaloy,$2DDAC53D4E7A556483ACE6859A57A63849F2C4F6
PURPOSE=GENERAL
50 BUILT Freedom,nixnix,$4744AD962D32A11CD7CF4513617FAC33B339806B
PURPOSE=GENERAL
15 BUILT HW2,$4F0826FA4C325C3CAA0054A6E023E566302C20C7,RainCloud
PURPOSE=GENERAL
14 BUILT Freedom,SuperDave,bp1 PURPOSE=GENERAL

So I have two questions:

-which circuit does tor use (is it alway the circuit with the highest
number?)
-is there a way to get this nodes always as fingerprint (for example, there
are many nodes with name "idideditheconfig" and how do I know which one is
it when the node is listed in plain text?)
