It provides one single endpoint for clients. Supports HAProxy, socks protocol and http-proxy servers: polipo, privoxy and hpts.
In addition, you can view previously running TOR processes and create a new identity for all or selected processes.
The
multitor
has been completely rewritten on the basis of:
- Multi-TOR project written by Jan Seidl: Multi-TOR
- original source is (Sebastian Wain project): Distributed Scraping With Multiple TOR Circuits
multitor
was created with the aim of initialize many TOR processes as quickly as possible. I could use many instances for my daily use programs (web browsers, messangers and other). In addition, I was looking for a tool that would increase anonymity when conducting penetration tests and testing the security of infrastructure.
Before using the multitor
you need to remember:
multitor
getting some bandwidth improvements just because it's a different way of connecting to TOR networkmultitor
configuration mostly HAProxy checks the local (syn, syn/ack) socket - not all TOR nodes (also exist nodes). If there is a problem with the socket it tries to send traffic to others available without touching what's next - it does not ensure that the data will arrivemultitor
has no effect If one of the nodes is damaged and somehow the data can not leave the exit node, it is likely that a connection error will be returned or, at best, the data will be transferred through another local socketTOR is a fine security project and an excellent component in a strategy of defence in depth but it isn’t (sadly) a cloak of invisibility. When using the TOR, always remember about ssl (e.g. https) wherever it is possible.
Look also at Limitations.
:heavy_exclamation_mark: For a more detailed understanding of
multitor
, its parameters, functions and how it all works, see the Manual.
It's simple:
# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/trimstray/multitor
# Go into the repository
cd multitor
# Install
./setup.sh install
# Run the app
multitor --init 2 --user debian-tor --socks-port 9000 --control-port 9900 --proxy privoxy --haproxy
- symlink to
bin/multitor
is placed in/usr/local/bin
- man page is placed in
/usr/local/man/man8
Provides the following options:
Usage:
multitor <option|long-option>
Examples:
multitor --init 2 --user debian-tor --socks-port 9000 --control-port 9900
multitor --init 10 --user debian-tor --socks-port 9000 --control-port 9900 --proxy socks
multitor --show-id --socks-port 9000
Options:
--help show this message
--debug displays information on the screen (debug mode)
--verbose displays more information about TOR processes
-i, --init <num> init new tor processes
-k, --kill kill all multitor processes
-s, --show-id show specific tor process id
-n, --new-id regenerate tor circuit
-u, --user <string> set the user (only with -i|--init)
--socks-port <port_num|all> set socks port number
--control-port <port_num> set control port number
--proxy <proxy_type> set socks or http (polipo, privoxy, hpts) proxy server
--haproxy set HAProxy as a frontend for http proxies (only with --proxy)
multitor
uses external utilities to be installed before running:
This tool working with:
Also you will need root access.
See this project: docker-multitor
If you use this tool in other scripts where the output is saved everywhere, not on the screen, remember that you will not be able to use the generated password. I will correct this in the next version. If you do not use regenerate function of single or all TOR circuits with a password, you can safely restart the multitor
which will do it for you.
