Why you should care about encrypting and anonymizing your internet traffic, and how to build your very own Raspberry Pi TOR project.

RasPi AP

Steps
1. Image Raspbian onto your SD card
2. Expand the volume
  -- Open Terminal
  -- "sudo raspi-config"
  -- Select option 1

3. Change the default password
  -- Select option 2

** RasPi will Reboot

4. Turn your RasPi into an Access Point
  * A GIT user by the name of "Harry Allerston" created a script to automate the process
  -- Open Terminal
  -- "git clone https://github.com/unixabg/RPI-Wireless-Hotspot.git"
  -- "cd RPI-Wireless-Hotspot"
  -- "sudo ./install"
  -- "Y" to agree to terms
  -- "Y" to use preconfigured DNS
  -- "Y" to use Unblock-Us DNS servers
  -- "N" for WiFi defaults
  -- Type in a new WiFi password (it will be checked)
  -- Type in a new SSID
  -- Type in your desired WiFi channel (1, 6, 11)
  -- Type "N" when asked - "Are you using a rtl871x chipset?" --
  -- Type "N" for chromecast support (unless you plan to use a chromecast w/RasTor)

** Your Pi will reboot

5. Update your Raspbian installation
  - Open Terminal
  - "sudo apt-get update"
      * "apt-get" is a diagnostic tool that updates all packages and checks for broken dependencies



What's in your traffic stream?

Why should we care about encrypting/anonymizing our traffic?

The easiest way to explain this is to show you what can be seen by your ISP.

RasPi TOR

Steps
6. Install TOR
  -- "sudo apt-get install tor"
  -- "Y" on "continue?"

7. Configure TOR
  -- "sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc"
  -- Add the following just below the first set of comments
    Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log
     VirtualAddrNetwork 10.192.0.0/10
     AutomapHostsSuffixes .onion,.exit
     AutomapHostsOnResolve 1
     TransPort 9040
     TransListenAddress 192.168.42.1
     DNSPort 53
     DNSListenAddress 192.168.42.1"

8. Dump all the old rules from the iptable
  -- "sudo iptables -F"
  -- "sudo iptables -t nat -F"
      * iptables lets you configure the rules of the Linux Kernel Firewall.
      * It allow you to define how packets are treated
      * We're using it to route traffic through TOR

9. Route DNS through the TOR
  -- "sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i wlan0 -p udp --dport 53 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 53"

10. Route all TCP traffic through the TOR
  -- "sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i wlan0 -p tcp --syn -j REDIRECT --to-ports 9040"

11. Check your routes
  -- "sudo iptables -t nat -L"

12. Save our new rules to the NAT table
  "sudo sh -c "iptables-save > /etc/iptables.ipv4.nat""

13. Create log file
  -- "sudo touch /var/log/tor/notices.log"
      * "touch" creates an empty file
  -- "sudo chown debian-tor /var/log/tor/notices.log"
      * "chown" changes the ownership of a fille (so that TOR can use it)
  -- "sudo chmod 644 /var/log/tor/notices.log"
      * "chmod" is the "change mode" command - it changes permissions
      *** 600 : Only owner can read/write
      *** 644 : Only owner can write, others can read
      *** 666 : All uses can read/write.

14. Start the TOR service
  -- "sudo service tor start"

15. Check to see if the service is running
  -- "sudo service tor status"

16. Change the service to start on boot
  -- "sudo update-rc.d tor enable"
