net: Automatically create hidden service, listen on Tor Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically. https://stem.torproject.org/api/control.html#stem.control.Controller.create_ephemeral_hidden_service This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available), bitcoin automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without user manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available .onion nodes. - When the node is started, connect to Tor through control socket - Send `ADD_ONION` command - First time: - Make it create a hidden service key - Save the key in the data directory for later usage - Make it redirect port 8333 to the local port 8333 (or whatever port we're listening on). - Keep control socket connection open for as long node is running. The hidden service will (by default) automatically go away when the connection is closed. 2015-08-25 20:12:08 +02:00			`// Copyright (c) 2015 The Bitcoin Core developers`

torcontrol improvements and fixes - Force AUTHCOOKIE size to be 32 bytes: This provides protection against an attack where a process pretends to be Tor and uses the cookie authentication method to nab arbitrary files such as the wallet - torcontrol logging - fix cookie auth - add HASHEDPASSWORD auth, fix fd leak when fwrite() fails - better error reporting when cookie file is not ok - better init/shutdown flow - stop advertizing service when disconnected from tor control port - COOKIE->SAFECOOKIE auth 2015-09-08 17:48:45 +02:00			`void InterruptTorControl();`
