No leak prevention?

Hi!
thanks for the script, looks quite good, but what about leak prevention mentioned here:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2014-March/032507.html
Thanks!

API integration issues

I've written a wrapper that implements torghost as a systemd service and ... (sigh) .. torghost is very unstable; it breaks more often than it works. One would expect certain things to be simple; like if it's not running and you tell it to stop, it should just not do anything, maybe even exit(0) immediately .... but no, apparently it needs to hang indefinitely for some reason.

• when it's not running and you tell it to stop .. it hangs
• when it's running and you tell it to start .. it either starts (again) or .. hangs
• when it's running and you tell it to switch .. it either switches (in due time) or .. hangs
• when it's not running and you tell it to switch .. it hangs
• when it's not running and you tell it to start, it either hangs or starts (in due time)

.. we need to talk

Warning : leaks when using Nessus

I am having leak issues when running a scan with Nessus : wireshark shows that the packets go directly to the target without passing through tor guard ip.It seems Nessus is able to bypass iptables.

libpython 2.7 and GLIBC 2.29

Hi!
while torghost runs smoothly on Kali (except for the small ip retrieving problem), this is what happens on Ubuntu 18.04.4 server:

root@ubuntu:~/git/torghost# torghost -s
[31690] Error loading Python lib '/usr/share/torghost/libpython2.7.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /usr/share/torghost/libpython2.7.so.1.0)

tried installing *.deb package but problem remains the same.
Thank-you!

switch never timeouts

When sending the Signal.NEWNYM to the controller, the command never timeouts and can get stuck forever.

Also, probably would be safer to check is_newnym_available before sending the signal, and just quit otherwise.

traceback error FIXED AND IP error

i know how to solve the problem for the trace back error you have to type this in sudo apt-get install tor -y

and with ip error when it does not work if have to cep typing torghost start until it gives you a ip do it 15 times to see if that works

Torghost on Debian ?

Hello,

I would like to put my connection under Debian Stretch 9 Tor, Torghost starts but I have nothing that goes through the Internet.

Is there a way to transform its file to make it work under Debian? Kali is based on Debian.

Best regards, James

I was checking your website and i saw a post about backdoor factory, and i remembered that Josh Pitts, the autor of BDF made a post about using tor and empire, so i was asking myself, Is it possible use torghost with metasploit or empire and how this can be done?

Or can you point me the right direction in this particular topic?

Randomly starts on Debian Jessie, 100% CPU utilization

As per title, top command randomly reports a 'tor' process in my laptop that uses up to 100% of CPU.
This is several reboots after the last use of torghost.
Torghost has been cleanly stopped via command line (torghost stop) last time it was used.

Does all tools work with torghost

I am not sure, If all pentesting tools (i.e Armitage, Metasploit, Nmap) would work fine with torghost or not. Please clarify.

Mac--Request for Password for Tor Bundle Instalation

Hi guys,

I followed the steps of the installation and while running ./install.sh I got an error asking for the password for tor bundle. Therefore I need that password in order to complete the installation.

I am using the tor on a Mac/OS system and therefore I need help for this installation.

Cheers,

Problem fetching

fatal: unable to access
am I doing something wrong??

Anonymizer is spelled with one y and one i

Tor anonimizer

should say

Tor anonymizer

Some network commands like ping, traceroute fail

Some network related commands fail when torghost is active. However, when using without active torghost or routing traffic through tor using proxychains the commands run without issues.

Examples below:

$ ping www.google.com
PING www.google.com (216.58.212.196) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.117 (192.168.1.117) icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
From 192.168.1.117 (192.168.1.117) icmp_seq=2 Destination Port Unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
From 192.168.1.117 (192.168.1.117) icmp_seq=3 Destination Port Unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
^C
--- www.google.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2014ms

$ traceroute www.google.com
traceroute to www.google.com (216.58.212.196), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
send: Operation not permitted

I suspect this may have something to do with the iptables commands in the torghost script?

Since these commands work fine through tor when used with proxychains, I guess the issue lies within torghost rather than icmp traffic not going through tor?

Also nmap fails similarly since it uses ping and traceroute.

Just some thoughts behind my reasoning, please correct and pardon me if I may be wrong. I am just a novice student.
