- Hiding Tor Platform Information
- 0.0 Introduction
- The current Tor program publishes its specific Tor version and related OS
- platform information. This information could be misused by an attacker.
- 0.1 Current Implementation
- Currently, the Tor binary sends data that looks like the following:
- Tor 0.2.0.26-rc (r14597) on Darwin Power Macintosh
- Tor 0.1.2.19 on Windows XP Service Pack 3 [workstation] {terminal services,
- single user}
- 1.0 Suggested changes
- It would be useful to allow a user to configure the disclosure of such
- information. Such a change would be an option in the torrc file like so:
- HidePlatform Yes
- 1.1 Suggested default behavior in the future
- If a user would like to disclose this information, they could configure their
- Tor to do so.
- HidePlatform No
