Subject: Chaing Remailers (instructions) [long]
Message-ID: <c3Husc2w165w@vox.xs4all.nl>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Note-1: [RRT- stands for Request-Remailing-To:, most remailers also
accept Anon-To: ]
Note-2: [You is in this doc me@mysite.home,
substitute that adress for your own if you
want to receive the test message yourself]
First you should test only one remailer:
you > remailer 1 >> RRT- you
*************************************************
This is what you send:
-->
> From: me@mysite.home
> To: hal@alumni.caltech.edu
>
> ::
> Request-Remailing-To: me@mysite.home
>
> Test of remailer at alumni.caltech.edu
*************************************************
This is what you receive from alumni.caltech.edu:
-->
> From: nobody@alumni.caltech.edu
> To: me@mysite.home
>
> Test of remailer at alumni.caltech.edu
*************************************************
If this is succesful you add another remailer:
you > remailer 1 >> RRT- remailer 2 >>> RRT- you
This is what you send:
-->
> From: me@mysite.home
> To: hal@alumni.caltech.edu
>
> ::
> Request-Remailing-To: usura@xs4all.nl
>
> ::
> Request-Remailing-To: me@mysite.home
>
> Test of remailer at alumni.caltech.edu and RRT xs4all.nl
*************************************************
Remailer usura@xs4all.nl will receive this message from
hal@alumni.caltech.edu
-->
> From: nobody@alumni.caltech.edu
> To: usura@xs4all.nl
>
> ::
> Request-Remailing-To: me@mysite.home
>
> Test of remailer at alumni.caltech.edu and RRT xs4all.nl
*************************************************
Because the message has the header pasting tokens [::]
the remailer at xs4all.nl knows where to send it to.
You will receive this message from xs4all.nl
-->
> From: nobody@vox.xs4all.nl
> To: me@mysite.org
>
> Test of remailer at alumni.caltech.edu and RRT xs4all.nl
*************************************************
You can keep adding remailers this way, everytime you receive
a test message back you add another remailer: if you stop receiving
test messages, the last remailer added is most likely "down". You can
check that by using that remailer directly.
*************************************************
The above is simple unencrypted remailing. If you want to have an
encrypted chained remailing, you first have to "design" the chain.
0] from your PC send to alumni.caltech.edu
1] at alumni.caltech.edu RRT jpunix.com
2] at jpunix.com RRT vox.hacktic.nl
3] at vox.hacktic.nl RRT me@mysite.home
{Stage 3:} This is actually the first message you make.
-->
> ::
> Request-Remailing-To: me@mysite.home

> Test of PGP'ed remailing trough caltech, jpunix and vox.
*************************************************
The above is encrypted with the PGPpubKEY of vox.hacktic.nl and will
result in this:
> -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
> Version: 2.6 for VoX Labz.
>
> hIwCWd90FI1WkT0BA/9I6ILVhl5ZpsgKgHye+ng9CokwzdW1pMgcd0ecigppAODe
> 53LlyVw/hl1ERYIzWW9W4vnuh7sLgu9XjxB515FtT5VSyZLZrhKIF7XtACga2On+
> 1NmsecLTrgXYcc4k0Y+l66Hs06z92yhFvjXruDBS2Pame0VDtgZo+4aPntioDaYA
> AABJsVIWRaJkCib+uek9Pr6GqFP7lwaMqq8XFnFxY42h3Wn3c5DikrzmwKGK5xVs
> hmiZnEhJgXvR7jS2cNNOk/geG4SnUqvMTzpq6w==
> =b0bT
> -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
*************************************************
Then you than proceed to the 2nd stage the message wich has to leave
jpunix.com, so remail@vox.hacktic.nl knows what to do [decrypt it] is:
-->
> ::
> Encrypted: PGP
>
> -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
> Version: 2.6 for VoX Labz.
>
> hIwCWd90FI1WkT0BA/9I6ILVhl5ZpsgKgHye+ng9CokwzdW1pMgcd0ecigppAODe
> 53LlyVw/hl1ERYIzWW9W4vnuh7sLgu9XjxB515FtT5VSyZLZrhKIF7XtACga2On+

> hmiZnEhJgXvR7jS2cNNOk/geG4SnUqvMTzpq6w==
> =b0bT
> -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
*************************************************
{Stage 2:}
But jpunix.com has to know where to send it to, so the 2nd stage msg is:
-->
> ::
> Request-Remailing-To: remail@vox.hacktic.nl
>
> ::
> Encrypted: PGP
>
> -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
> Version: 2.6 for VoX Labz.

> hmiZnEhJgXvR7jS2cNNOk/geG4SnUqvMTzpq6w==
> =b0bT
> -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
*************************************************
The above is then encrypted with the PGPpubKEY of jpunix.com
*************************************************
{Stage 1:}
This new encrypted message gets the headers for caltech to remail:
-->
> ::
> Request-Remailing-To: remail@jpunix.com
>
> ::
> Encrypted: PGP
>
> -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
>
> and the PGP encrypted message from {stage 2}
>
> -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
*************************************************
{Stage 0:} the message you send to alumni.caltech.edu
is the encrypted message [with the PGPpubKEY of alumni.caltech.edu] of
stage 1 plus a Encrypted: PGP header.
-->
> To: hal@alumni.caltech.edu

> ::
> Encrypted: PGP
>
> -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----

> and the PGP encrypted message from {stage 1}
>
> -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
*********************************************************************
This you send from your PC to hal@alumni.caltech.edu :
->

If you finger remailer.help.all@chaos.bsu.edu you will
receive a list of active remailers and their peculiarities.
If you finger remailer-list@chaos.bsu.edu and/or
remailer-list@kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu you will
receive a list of uptime statistics.
Hope this helps.
Happy Remailing ...
