The regular version of OSX does not have a smart firewall, or dynamic rules the same way. Something to keep in mind compared to a server edition of OSX as apposed to a standard edition, is the server edition has an extra (what apple refers to as) smart firewall, that dynamically assigns open sockets for devices behind the router so keep state, and streaming can happen without interruption. This is an effort to reduce attack surface as much as possible.
#TOR SWITCH TO ANOTHER SERVER SOFTWARE#
Just to be on the safe side, I removed pretty much all baked in software aside from the terminal, sys utilities, and Xcode (gcc compiler needed for open source software) just to be sure that no pre-installed software would attempt to connect or run, or be visible as a running service.
#TOR SWITCH TO ANOTHER SERVER PATCH#
So I took those offline and made firewall rules saying anyone connecting from the external (wan) interface can’t connect on those ports, and went about compiling VNC and openSSH from source to patch those old vulnerabilities. The default SSH and remote management client is of a version that’s old enough to cause problems. Most software that’s made for this OS is old and deprecated, badly and for good reason I might add. I will warn, nearly all software used on this machine is compiled from open source. Upgraded the dual socket xeon dual cores to quad cores, for a total of 8 logical cores (no multithreading, old as shit yo) So that’s cool, though id highly suggest staying away from this particular issue as I nearly went bald trying to figure out why OSX was so unhappy.īut that aside, I built a raid 10 config with 3 500GB hard drives, and another 4tb backup drive (defcon zoz has taught us many things, in that keeping daily redundant paranoid backups will save your ass)įlashed firmware from 1,1 to 2,1, changed instruction from 32bit EFI to 64bit x86 EFI, so much more stable with that. So I booted into single user mode with a root SH prompt, ran a “chmod -r 755 /” and hard reboot, that fixed it and made it want to boot. Booted into verbose mode to see what the issue is, mDNS responder was getting hung on a request due to “Permission denied” When booted after new update, it freezes on spinning wheel of death. Though I did figure out a work around, more of a hack really. and Active directory master/standalone break permissions.
#TOR SWITCH TO ANOTHER SERVER MODS#
Well, among the mods I’ve made to my machine, one of them is getting my hands on a copy of OS X SL server addition (wouldn’t suggest, updates are… unstable.
#TOR SWITCH TO ANOTHER SERVER MAC#
Nice to see another Mac enthusiast, seems to be rare. So I completely wiped it before taking the Linode down, and redeploying on my Mac Pro. I don’t have the fingerprint for the Linode, as I didn’t want to risk potentially de-anonymizing users that had circuits through it. Which is why MidWorldRelay9 may show 2 results. One I did a test run on a Linode hosted in Canada, and the other was a failure in compiling or config, not sure which, so I wiped the install, erased the keys and started from scratch. Just as a heads up, in case you (whoever) searches for this relay nick, you may find up to 3. Im most interested in running either a guard, or middle relay, not an exit.įingerprint: 51A3394C59BF5E414D57722335CD1E838C6EE986 Im also interested in running a Dir Mirror too, I’ve got an unmetered connection, and unlimited bandwidth, and im willing to donate half or a bit less of my bandwidth for this endeavor, and for now, don’t intend on running another relay until I’ve got this one sorted, pen tested, and stable. That said, what can I do to increase security and stability? Im open to switching OS’s to something different if need be, but would like to stick with OS X Snow leopard if at all possible as its stable, and my relay node is running on an old, heavily modified Mac Pro. So I’ve been wanting to put it at the front of the network, to act as both a gateway to my local network, and putting my wifi router behind it, with my wireless devices behind another firewall beyond my relay.
But im still running into issues with my router dropping packets, occasionally sending RST packets and closing sockets. Im running into issues with tor not being able to autodetect IPv4 addresses, I figured a work around by using a dynamic DNS updater and registering a hostname.
I am interested in getting involved with the Tor project as a community member, and relay operator. Not new to tor, or compiling source code, working with linux, and OS X unix, etc… As title suggests, im new to server administration.
