Kevin Karhan :verified:<p>One thing that <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@torproject" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>torproject</span></a></span> is missing is a way to check availability and reachability of <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Bridges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bridges</span></a> with a simple tool. </p><ul><li>This is kinda vital as I do occasionally setup private <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/bridges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bridges</span></a> and also want to enshure the private <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TorBridges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TorBridges</span></a> list I have is up to date.</li></ul><p>Manually adding/removing one <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/bridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bridge</span></a> after the other in <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TorBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TorBrowser</span></a> and see if those connect is a relatively inefficient process and merely pinging them isn't viable either, espechally on <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/meek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meek</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/obfs4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obfs4</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/snowflake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>snowflake</span></a> type bridges.</p><ul><li>Now to make the obvious clear: I'd <em>NEVER</em> publicly list any <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TorBridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TorBridge</span></a> on my <a href="https://github.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lists.d repo</a> obviously, because that would only harm <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Tor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tor</span></a>... </li></ul><p>I'm not even asking for like a fancy tool that is as clean as <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@micahflee" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>micahflee</span></a></span> 's <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/OnionShare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnionShare</span></a> but merely a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/CLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CLI</span></a> thing (if necessary I'd build some <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bash</span></a> script) to automatically attempt to connect to said bridge and either spit out an <em>ok</em> or <em>error</em>. </p><ul><li>Something one can just feed with a text file and that'll spit out a different file with ok/working bridges and/or discards the non-working ones from the list.</li></ul><p>And yes, this tool is kinda crucial as I want to quickly sift through a load of bridges that work on restricted ports (22, 80, 443) and thus can bypass the <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GreatFirewall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreatFirewall</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Roskomnadzor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Roskomnadzor</span></a> filtering...</p><ul><li>So people fleeing can at least safely communicate.</li></ul><p>If anyone at <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TorProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TorProject</span></a> needs more details, I'll gladly exchange them in a secure manner. </p><ul><li>I also applied for a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/gitlab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gitlab</span></a> account so I can help improve <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/documentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>documentation</span></a> (ideally with some nice step-by-step screenshots so even <em>"<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TechIlliterates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechIlliterates</span></a>"</em> can i.e. add a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/bridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bridge</span></a>)...</li></ul>
