exitmap | modular scanner for Tor exit relays | Router library

exitmap is a Python library typically used in Networking, Router applications. exitmap has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Exitmap is a fast and modular Python-based scanner for [Tor] exit relays. Exitmap modules implement tasks that are run over (a subset of) all exit relays. If you have a background in functional programming, think of exitmap as a map() interface for Tor exit relays: Modules can perform any TCP-based networking task like fetching a web page, uploading a file, connecting to an SSH server, or joining an IRC channel. In practice, exitmap is useful to monitor the reliability and trustworthiness of exit relays. The Tor Project uses exitmap to check for false negatives on the Tor Project’s [check] service and to find [malicious exit relays] It is easy to develop new modules for exitmap; just have a look at the file HACKING in the doc/ directory or check out one of the existing modules. Exitmap uses [Stem] to create circuits to all given exit relays. Each time tor notifies exitmap of an established circuit, a module is invoked for the newly established circuit. Modules can be pure Python scripts or executables. For executables, [torsocks] is necessary. Finally, note that exitmap is a network measurement tool and of little use to ordinary Tor users. The Tor Project is already running the tool regularly. More exitmap scans just cause unnecessary network load. The only reason exitmap is publicly available is because its source code and design might be of interest to some.
