November 24th, DoS Attack - Upgrade your Tor Browser, spread the word! : Dread | Torhoo darknet markets

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

November 24th, 2023

As you might have noticed, today we received a cell attack which took the mirror offline. While we still haven't relaunched the main Dread address as we need to complete changes to the load balancing to support the new Proof-of-work defenses, we have now implemented a patch to our Tor processes as a temporary measure of supporting PoW for the g66 mirror.

PoW access requires a recent Tor Browser release and anyone wishing to access the site will need to have upgraded. There is sure to be a huge portion of users who have yet to update, which is also extremely important due to security fixes. I am mostly looking at Tails users here, who haven't upgraded their Tails for a while and will lack PoW support, since Tor Browser updates are not possible within the OS. These users will not be able to access Dread going forward. We will no longer be supporting outdated TBB versions and running only with PoW defenses from this point onwards, so spread the word, update your shit!

Also, whoever is behind the attack is likely related to a marketplace in response to my assistance with communicating Bohemia market's on-going issues, you need to realize that this is not me trying to help them specifically, but rather help the user base, as I would do if your market was in the same position. Congratulations, your attack achieved what... 4 hours of downtime? Amazing.

I Literally just updated my Tails on a new USB to the latest version today, a fresh download of it. My last tails version was outdated and when Dread would not load for me earlier I had a feeling PoW was being enabled today, glad I updated it haha.

I do wonder how PoW works on Tor especially since you can't rely on Javascript. It always amazes me how people come up with solutions to do something without javascript while most sites on the clearnet overuse javascript. why do you need to download a 64 KiB library to add image zoom support??

I looked into it. Basically, when a client (your computer) requests a handshake with the server (Dread), the server gives the client a math problem to solve. When the client gives the correct answer, the server accepts the handshake and real data transfer may begin. The higher the number of connection requests, the more difficult the math problem and the longer it takes to solve. For a live person in an average situation it is an impercepably short wait, but for a botnet, it cripples their ability to spam connection requests (the basis of a DDoS) because *every* request is being put on that hold.

This should have the added benefit of cutting node-crippling levels of DDoS traffic across the entire network and giving the entirety of TOR (not just those under attack) a better experience.

This sounds nice. Do you mind sharing the resources? I would love to learn more about this. Especially im curious how this is done without javascript.

Sorry for the delay. Dread disappeared on me for a couple days. The TOR Project did a blog post about their implementation of it " Introducing Proof-of-Work Defense for Onion Services - by pavel - August 23, 2023"

no problem i also had issues with dread. tbh im not that active to avoid any side channel leaks. i took a quick look at the blog. seems as if its not javascript but something baked into the browser itself. seems interesting

Tor 0.4.8.4 it seems, so Tor Browser 13.0a4, according to the release notes.
/u/xxshadowxx

It was actually Tor Browser 13.0a2.

https://blog.torproject.org/new-alpha-release-tor-browser-130a2/

Tails didn't include Tor Browser 13.0.x (specifically 13.0.1) until 5.19 which was released 2023-10-31.

Latest Tails version is 5.19.1 which was a emergency release to fix TROVE-2023-006 vulnerability in the Tor client.

Update the Tor client to 0.4.8.9, which fixes the TROVE-2023-006 vulnerability.

didnt even notice dread went down, was nodding on china white the whole time
I wake up every morning
Jonesing for her love
The girl with golden eyes
I won't have to wait long
'Til she buries me with roses
Cause she's always by my side

Hey, if I want comeback, I'll call.... Wait, where am I?
Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said
"Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover"
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
And he said
"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover, yeah"
Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me?
Because I come from the land of plenty"
And he said
Oh, "Do you come from a land down under? (Oh, yeah-yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover", 'cause we are
Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder (yeah)
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (Thunder)
You better-better run, you better take cover
Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? Ooh, yeah
You better run, you better take cover
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you, can't you hear the thunder? (Can't you, can't you hear the thunder?)
You better run, you better take cover
Living in a land down under (living in a land down under)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you, can't you hear the thunder?

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no-no, yeah, yeah
Love me, I say, yeah yeah
One time
Is where I drew some blood
(Under the bridge downtown)
I could not get enough
(Under the bridge downtown)
Forgot about my love
(Under the bridge downtown)
I gave my life away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no-no-no, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, I said, oh, yeah, yeah
Where I stay
Sometimes I feel so uninspired
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Sometimes I feel so very tired
Sometimes I feel like I've had enough
Sometimes you feel like you've been hired
Sometimes you feel like you've been bought
Sometimes you feel like your room's been wired
Sometimes you feel like you've been caught
But don't let it get you down, no, no
There is no reason for not failing
You've got to smile and turn the other cheek
So today you might be done
By tomorrow you'll be sailing
And you won't even hear these words I speak
Some people want to be so desired
Some people can't stand the light of day
Someone laughing, while someone is crying
And old folks are watching the close of the day
But sometimes I feel like my head is spinning
The hunger and pain is all I see
I don't know who's losing
And I don't know who's winning
Hardships and trouble are following me
But don't let it get you down
There is every reason for not failing
You've got to smile and turn the other cheek
So today you might be done
By tomorrow you'll be sailing
And you won't even hear these words I speak
Some people want to be so desired
Some people can't stand the light of day
Someone is laughing, while someone is crying
Old folks are watching the close of the day
But sometimes I feel like my head is spinning
Hunger and pain is all I see
I don't know who's losing
And I don't care who's winning
Hardships and trouble are following me

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
So fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
She's running out the door (run)
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
Into a different kind of view
Not meant for human eyes
Everything’s dark and fades away
This moment just opened my eyes, now I say:
I never knew anything felt like this
It has just begun

Please be aware of the change in your mind
Everyone’s telling lies
Somewhere between every now and then
Harmoniously facing the truth of your past
I know by now, every night has its dawn
Be aware and see
I know by now, every night has its dawn
Be aware and see

And as your last day draws to an end
Take my last good smile
All I can do now is watch as you fall
Bid my last good bye

There’s an exception to every rule
Don’t trust the yellow light
Constantly searching to find your way home
The beauty’s been lying right here all along
Only Man ends. But forever’s the world
Just don’t fall asleep
So here we sway at the edge of the world
Holding hands
Clutching at straws, keep each other awake
World will not end at this shift
I never knew anything felt like this
It has just begun…

And during the few moments that we have left
We want to talk right down to earth
In a language that everybody here can easily understand
Look in my eyes
What do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
Oh, I'm the cult of personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights, a Nobel prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV
Oh, I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you, one and one makes three
Oh, I'm the cult of personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights, a Nobel prize
When a leader speaks, that leader dies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set you free
You gave me fortune, you gave me fame
You gave me power in your god's name
I'm every person you need to be
Oh, I'm the cult of personality
I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of personality
Ask not what your country can do for you
The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself
While he was asleep holding her hand
The dreams smouldered
She opened her heart, he tore it apart
Gazed into his smile

He said he had constraint
He was ostracised and feint
She had gone over and under
A tattoo of a loser
These are the rings that fell apart
These are the things that tore his heart
These were the dreams that he was causing
These were the gleams that she was pausing

We're nothing but debris
Floating on a silver lake
There's nothing left to take
As we slowly fall apart
We unite you through me
As we separate with fate
We're nothing but debris

Her words confound, dim and unsound
Daring the logic
Defying off-hand, nothing unplanned
Phase into the vile

Let me speak again, pursue the praise - not too soon
In two yields construed by me and you
Tracing the cause and case
As we stand here face to face
Simple twofoldness is our brace
That makes it feel like you and me

Opportunity isn't what we lost
We have lost our senses

Walk with me now to another place
Where no one else has been before
[Intro: Dido]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[Chorus: Dido]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[Verse 1: Eminem]
Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up, man? How's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her? I'ma name her Bonnie
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man
I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was phat
Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan

[Chorus: Dido]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[Verse 2: Eminem]
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans
If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert, you didn't have to
But you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
That's my little brother, man, he's only six years old
We waited in the blisterin' cold for you, for four hours, and you just said, "no"
That's pretty shitty, man, you're like his fuckin' idol
He wants to be just like you, man, he likes you more than I do
I ain't that mad, though I just don't like bein' lied to
Remember when we met in Denver? You said if I'd write you, you would write back
See, I'm just like you in a way: I never knew my father neither
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
'Cause I don't really got shit else, so that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
See, everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
You gotta call me, man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Stan—P.S. We should be together too
[Chorus: Dido]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[Verse 3: Eminem]
Dear Mr. I'm-Too-Good-to-Call-or-Write-My-Fans
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass
It's been six months, and still no word—I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette I'm sendin' you, I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' ninety on the freeway
Hey, Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drownin'
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
That's kinda how this is: you coulda rescued me from drownin'
Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now—I'm drowsy
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall
I loved you, Slim, we coulda been together—think about it!
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
See, Slim—shut up, bitch! I'm tryin' to talk
Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up—see? I ain't like you
'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more and then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh, shit, I forgot—how am I supposed to send this shit out?!
[Chorus: Dido]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

[Verse 4: Eminem]
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
And here's an autograph for your brother; I wrote it on a Starter cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
I say that shit just clownin', dawg, come on, how fucked up is you?
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin'
To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine
If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you, but Stan
Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about it, his name was—it was you
Damn...

Also, whoever is behind the attack is likely related to a marketplace in response to my assistance with communicating Bohemia market's on-going issues, you need to realize that this is not me trying to help them specifically, but rather help the user base, as I would do if your market was in the same position. Congratulations, your attack achieved what... 4 hours of downtime? Amazing.


Never a boring day on the DN, when my connection to dread dropped I thought that for some reason Bohemia would be in the equation. (Blocking access to updates, peer experience or whatever.)


You're doing gods work HB, I think you've done the right thing so far bro. It is about the users and protecting their best interests!!

You guys are doing the right thing man, it's been a shitty bump in the road but once everything's back to normal I think you'll have achieved something I've not seen any other market come back from, and that's a testament to the character of your admin and remaining staff.

Will the main URL reopening also result in a new version of /d/EndGame ?

Once I have a better solution than the hack job I'm currently doing I'll release a new update to Endgame which should be the final update of all. Hopefully something that doesn't require people to edit the tor source.

Now that PoW is finally enabled does that mean that god awful captcha where you have to enter the letters in 60 seconds will go away? I hate that damn thing.

Not necessarily because unfortunately PoW isn't perfect. We will have to see how things go down the line.

DDOS?
I knew it'll be resolved within a jiffy, so I'm not surprised.

I really believe PoW will change a LOT of thr TOR problems. I'm glad y'all can keep up. The web development must be insane..

I appreciate all the work you put in, boss.

So what version of tails is necessary to my fellow tails users?

Probably an ignorant question but I always update Tails when the new version is available. Does this also update my tor browser or do I have to do something different? I know my electrum wallet is 4.0.9 and the most curret is 4.4.6. But it seeems to work just fine for me.
If I update my Tails do I have to go in and manually upgrade all the programs with Tails software?
I only ask because in /u/HugBunter s post he said "since Tor Browser updates are not possible within the OS."

I believe you'll have to update Tor manually.

does one need to enable anything to have PoW working or is it only required to have the newest tor version?

only requires an update.

You can see your Tails version by running:
cat /etc/os-release

The latest version is ⚠️5.19.1⚠️

Just checked my version its 5.19.1, and thats also the latest version on the tails website, so not sure what this post is talking about, dread working fine and everything else, and didn't get a confirmation for any update, so fuck knows

If you have the latest version of Tails, you are fine, as it includes Tor Browser with PoW support. I was referring to the many that install Tails and then never upgrade it. You can't upgrade Tor Browser within Tails, you have to wait for a new Tails release that includes it, and upgrade your Tails.

Got an auto update as I started Tor. Often I miss updates but reading here sounds like I'm on the right side purely by chance. Happy days.

If you're able to access the g66 mirror then your Tor Browser version supports PoW. I believe you do have the latest Tails version

I upgraded Tor but I think I am still having some timeout issues on Dread. Is there still a problem with some DDOS or is this something on my end? I haven't noticed it on other sites. Thanks!

I am on tails 5.20, but still having issues getting on.

It won't load at all.

How were you able to post the comment, I assume using the g66 mirror? If you're talking about accessing through the main Dread link, it will remain offline for now, just the g66 mirror is usable.

Its still unstable right now until we can finish the patching, its not as simple as just enabling PoW unfortunately, right now if you can't connect you'll have to just be persistent with it. It will get better over the next week and hopefully we can launch the fully optimized version onto the main onion address soon enough.

I used a system with tails 5.19 and it loaded.

It seems that it loads sometimes and doesn't load others, even using the same system. The thing is I see that comments were up while it was down for me.

I do get this error (not quite sure what it means)

Onionsite Not Found

Details: 0xF0 — The requested onion service descriptor can't be found on the hashring and therefore the service is not reachable by the client.

Yeah you're just struggling to establish a circuit at times, if you keep trying you should be able to and then you won't have an issue once connected. As I said, we're still working on it, so it will continually improve over time

Is there any reason why I am having immense difficulties connecting with a Linux machine, yet can get through more or less straight away on a Windows one?
Both machines running latest version of Tor Browser.

Nope. Updated ever since the Tor browser supported PoW ...

It wasn't completely stable, if you'd been persistent then you could have accessed. Look at the activty on Dread over the last 6 days... some people did have issues accessing, the majority were able to access fine
