Hi,
I would find it valuable if one could determine the following
information by simply querying the rDNS record of a torservers IP:
- ISP
- host
- tor instances (per IP)
optionally: country, rootserver or vserver, uplink speed
example:
maumau2.tnm1.torservers.net
This would tell you:
There are two Tor instances on that IP, they are named maumau and
maumau2 (Tor Router Names), they are running on the first server hosted
at tnmedia, called tnm1
or with country code:
maumau2.tnm1.ro.torservers.net
others would probably look something like this:
morales2.tnm1.torservers.net
kato2.tnm1.torservers.net
manning.axigy1.torservsers.net
saeed.axigy1.torservers.net
wau.codero1.torservers.net
raskin.defaultroute1.torservers.net
zeller.defaultroute2.torservers.net
ronin.euserv1.torservers.net
chomsky.nforce1.torservers.net
rainbowwarrior.nforce1.torservers.net
politkovskaja.nforce2.torservers.net
rockhall.nforce2.torservers.net
...
If subdomains are not possible simple substitute the . with -
benefits:
---------
- one could simply list all nodes from a specific country/ at a specific
ISP / from a specific host
- this can also be valuable for abuse handling if the reporter includes
the rDNS. Or the abuse handler simply queries the DNS and knows
immediately at which ISP this host is running (abuse email is probably
prioritized by affected ISP's - I guess)
What do you think about it?
