Anonsurf Beta Testing

Project Ideas and Questions
1

New Anonsurf version is here! We need you to test it out and help us spotting bugs :smiley:
Previous tests and reports done by @dmknght are here: Testing for AnonSurf 2.13.8

For every informations, contact Nong Hoang “DmKnght” Tu at [email protected]

Use the following template to test and report:

Parrot - AnonSurf quality test [0.10]

Report

  • [Your name and email]
  • Date: [02/07/2020 (DD/MM/YY)]
  • Version: [anonsurf_3.0.2+parrot2 (job 2009)]

1. Installation

Goal

  1. Install with no problem
  2. Give solutions if install failed
  3. Check dependencies, version name
  4. systemd doesn’t enable AnonSurf at boot during installation

Known issues

Problem Solution
Torrc is missing at /etc/tor/torrc sudo touch /etc/tor/torrc then upgrade / install

a) [User] [Installer] Use deb file
Excpected Install without error
Notice Any error

b) [Dev] [Builder] Use devscripts to make new deb file

  • Install devscripts, nim and other requirements for Debian packaging
  • Clone https://nest.parrotsec.org/packages/debian/libnim-gintro-dev
  • Clone AnonSurf https://nest.parrotsec.org/packages/tools/anonsurf/
  • Use debuild -us -uc -b to make debian package from source. Testers need to install libnim-gintro-dev before making anonsurf
  • Install from deb file sudo dpkg -i <anonsurf.deb>
Excpected Install without error
Notice - Error or warn while building
- Missing dependencies
- Debian standard

c) Result (example)

| Installation | Problem |

–
I used deb file from… version 2.13.x Installation failed, missing torrc
I ran debuild -us -uc -b - Install failed missing package X
- Warn litian binary not in package

2. User experiences

Goal: How users use software for the first time

  1. Description in package (apt show): Do we have enough description in it?
  2. Help page: enough information? Can new user understand and use it? Grammar
  3. Man page: Enough information? Can user understand it? grammar
  4. [Dev] Can user or dev understand the basic concept of AnonSurf (how it works)
  5. [Dev] Can dev understand the code structure design, and be a new contributor

Result

  1. [ ] Description in apt show anonsurf is good. Anything wrong write here

  2. [ ] Help page from AnonSurf command is good

    • [ ] Show clear version, contact information
    • [ ] User can understand the program, copyright, …
    • [ ] Do not take so much space
    • [ ] All commands are easy to understand
    • [ ] No feature is missing features
    • [ ] No old features need to remove
    • [ ] No grammar error
    • … Anything wrong write here

  3. [ ] Manpage of AnonSurf (man anonsurf) is good

    • [ ] Name and usage is easy to read and understand
    • [ ] Description explain well
    • [ ] No feauture is missing
    • [ ] No old feature need to remove
    • [ ] Grammar error
    • … Write anything wrong here

4. Usage

1. Core features

a) Commands

  • start will connect the machine to Tor network. Must not run when anonsurf is running.
  • stop will stop Tor connection. Must run when anonsurf is running.
  • restart stop and start anonsurf again. Must run when anonsurf is running.

b) Workflow

  • Start: execute AnonSurf start command

  • AnonSurf script call make-torrc binary which

    • Ask if user wants to kill some apps and clear cache
    • Generates new hash and password
      • Save hash to torrc, save torrc to /etc/tor/torrc. It uses /etc/anonsurf/torrc.base for core configurations and generate some configurations base on current connection
      • Save password in cleartext to /etc/anonsurf/nyxrc so we can use it for ControlPort
    • Start tor service. Tor now use new configuration in /etc/tor/torrc we’ve generated
    • Start AnonSurf daemon

  • AnonSurf daemon script is anonsurfd which actually is a bash script that

    • Clear IPTables rules (TODO we use other way to do it easily later)
    • Create backup of resolv.conf and use localhost only (call /usr/bin/dnstool)
    • Disable IPv6 on system
    • Create IPTables rules to forward all trafic to Tor
    • Only allow traffic by Tor user go to internet

c) Verify, troubleshooting

  • Tor can connect to network (anonsurf myip show IP and “You are connected to tor”)
  • anonsurf status call nyx and show network bandwitch
  • Use browser normally (need to confirm other protocols)
  • /etc/resolv.conf must be nameserver 127.0.0.1
  • Iptables must have ruleset (need verify and confirm here by anybody knows IPTables)
    "
    -A OUTPUT -d 192.168.0.0/16 -j ACCEPT
    -A OUTPUT -d 172.16.0.0/12 -j ACCEPT
    -A OUTPUT -d 10.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT
    -A OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.0/9 -j ACCEPT
    -A OUTPUT -d 127.128.0.0/10 -j ACCEPT
    -A OUTPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
    -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner 109 -j ACCEPT
    -A OUTPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
    "
  • Trouble shooting:
    - journalctl -b -u <service name> to show error log. For example journalctl -b -u [email protected]
    - netstat -antp to show open ports. Tor must open 9050, 9051, 9040
    - Verify DNS, IPTables rules

2. Extras features

a) Commands
  • status: Use nyx command with pre-written password to “watch” the bandwitch AnonSurf must be running
  • changeid: Auto change current nodes AnonSurf must be running
  • myip: Display current IP Adress and Tor status. Doesn’t require AnonSurf is running
  • status-boot: Display if AnonSurf daemon is enabled at boot Doesn’t require AnonSurf is running
  • enable-boot / disable-boot: Enable / disable AnonSurf at boot Doesn’t require AnonSurf is running
  • dnstool: Go to be standalone tool. Must use stand-alone test case with similar format Doesn’t require AnonSurf is running

Apologies, but not entirly sure where to post this.

Machine updated today to anonsurf Version: 3.0.3+parrot1.
Man page functions.

–help does not function :
$anonsurf --help
/usr/bin/anonsurf: line 310: unexpected EOF while looking for matching "' /usr/bin/anonsurf: line 334: syntax error: unexpected end of file Anonsurf Start does not function: #anonsurf start /usr/bin/anonsurf: line 310: unexpected EOF while looking for matching "’
/usr/bin/anonsurf: line 334: syntax error: unexpected end of file.
I am at a loss. Ever since 2.13 all has worked well.
The Gui that accompanies the latest anonsurf also has no function.

I would be greatful for a couple of pointers

Many thanks
bing
