Whitelisting filter for dangerous Tor control protocol commands

Filters out Tor control protocol commands that are dangerous for anonymity such as GETINFO ADDRESS using a whitelist. Acts as a proxy between the client application and Tor.

For example it allows using Tor Browser's New Identity feature on Anonymity Distribution Workstations, fixes Tor Browser's about:tor default homepage and Tor Button status indicator without exposing commands that are dangerous for anonymity.

This package is supposed to be installed on Anonymity Distributions.

It seamlessly integrates if the anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor package is installed on a Anonymity Distribution Workstations. For example it then allows running a unmodified Tor Browser Bundle from The Tor Project without Tor over Tor and with functional New Identity and about:tor.

This control port filter is written in Python. The original Python code was forked from the Tails version of control port filter.

This package is produced independently of, and carries no guarantee from, The Tor Project.
