Tor Exit Node List

12 Comments

Last weekend I initiated by annual “install the new ZBblock, eliminate now redundant signatures and generally reorganize”. While doing this I’ve been watching the killed_logs and tweaking a bit. While doing this I decided I would fully automate banning and unbanning of Tor Exit nodes. (During the ’emergency’ period, I semi-automated and never changed. In the meantimes, some uri’s changed and so the process needed updating.)

While I was at it, I decided I might as well create a page that displays the TOR EXIT IPs I detected as running in the past two days (or less). Those IPs can now be read at bannasties.com/BanNastiesScripts/DisplayBannedIPs.php .

Notice that is not clickable? That’s on purpose. I don’t want you to click that link accidentally or before reading the warnings. (Unless you are Poptech. Poptech told me he has access to something like 1000 IPs he can use to spam me. If any of those get banned, that’s fine by me! After all, with 1000s at his disposal, if he wants to read– or spam– he can always use one of the others! )

Here’s the warming: Bannasties.com is a rather user hostile site that, among other things, permits me to test new signatures to see if they safe and effective. But beyond that, when loaded from bannasties.com the script has some “escalation” features. Those who visit this will be able to visit that page no difficulties provided one’s browser is not spoofing referrers, and is accepting cookies. (Accepting cookies and not spoofing referrers are required to comment at The Blackboard). Generally, people who spoof referrers either (a) know they are spoofing referrers or (b) are using fairly stupid privacy software. Now if you do want to click to see the rather exciting list of IPs: make sure you know my email address (it’s guessable by anyone who visits the blackboard regularly) and if you get banned email me! Here’s the link:

bannasties.com/BanNastiesScripts/DisplayBannedIPs.php.

Now google and all the bots can find it. 🙂 Owing to the whole ‘volunteer’ aspect of Tor, some Tor exits turn on and off, I think having the list of everything that turned on over 48 hours is a bit safer than just getting the currently fresh IPs. Some people who want to ban Tor nodes may eventually find that list useful. (I’ll be providing a list of Tor nodes that could be safely unbanned later on.) Despite all the warning on that page, people who do not scrape like banshees or aren’t on excessively hostile connections should be able to access the list.

Anyway, you guys keep on talking. I’m going to have a look at the ice prospects on Monday. It’s a beautiful day. I’m going to run errands, and take my mother in law for a stroll outdoors now! 🙂

  2. By the way, this is showing at the top of the page now…

  4. Lucia, be a love and help me with a calculation.

    If I have a DNA sequence 12 bases long, with four bases (ATGC), how many unique sequences are there.
    Keep in mind that the sequences are unidirectional, so
    5’AAAAAAAAAATA3′
    is different from
    5’ATAAAAAAAAAA3′

    I think it is 4^12, but I am a bit dumb sometimes

  5. Doc,
    What are the ‘ s?

    But yes, if this you have a four sided “die” and you roll it:
    1 roll has 4 possible outcomes.
    2 rolls has 4^2 possible outcomes.
    (1,1), (1,2), (1,3,) (1,4)
    (2,1), (2,2), (2,3,) (2,4)
    (3,1), (3,2), (3,3,) (3,4)
    (4,1), (4,2), (4,3,) (4,4)

    So, 12 rolls has 4^12 outcomes. Does that answer your question?

  6. Thanks Lucia, 5′ and ‘3 are positions on the ribose sugar molecule, the sugars are like lego bricks that are joined by a phosphate ester, so just like a sequence of lego blocks, you can have the same color sequence, but with the dimples at different ends; i.e.

    Recessed end RBGWRBGWRBGW Dimpled end

    Dimpled end RBGWRBGWRBGW Recessed end

  7. Lucia, could you do one more for me, pretty please?

    What is the number of combinations of my 12 bases if I fix the ratio at 3xA, 3xT, 3xG and 3xC?

  8. Doc,
    I don’t even know what this means ‘I fix the ratio at 3xA, 3xT, 3xG and 3xC?’ Fix the ratio of what to what?

  9. I have a string 12 units long, 3 are A, 3 are T, 3 are C and 3 are G.
    so number 1) is:-
    AAATTTCCCGGG
    how many unique sequences can I make?

  11. Neal J. King (Comment #118996)

    It’s 369,600.

    Which is to say (12!)/(3!)^4. The 12! is the number of total permutations of 12 elements, and then you divide that by 3! four times because the permutations of the 3 letters within each set do not make a difference.

  12. Yep. I agree with Neal and Julio. (This is assuming that ATAATTCCCGGG is a valid choice and Doc doesn’t mean all the A’s have to be in a row and so on.)
