dtor 0.0.6

A Tor process management library

dtor - Tor Process Management Library

A comprehensive Python library for managing Tor processes with full lifecycle control. dtor handles everything from automatic binary downloads to hidden service management, providing a simple and powerful interface for Tor integration.

Features

🚀 Automatic Setup

• Automatic Tor binary download for your platform (Linux, Windows, macOS)
• Smart version detection and caching
• Zero manual configuration required

🔒 Hidden Services

• Easy hidden service creation and management
• Runtime hidden service support (ADD_ONION)
• Automatic hostname and key generation
• Port mapping and collision resolution

⚙️ Process Management

• Full Tor process lifecycle control (start/stop/restart)
• Process monitoring and health checks
• Stale process cleanup
• Cross-platform support

🌐 Port Management

• SOCKS and Control port configuration
• Runtime port addition
• Automatic port conflict detection and resolution
• Multiple port support

🎛️ Control Protocol

• Full Tor control protocol support
• Cookie authentication
• Command execution and response parsing
• Real-time configuration updates

Installation

pip install dtor

Quick Start

from dtor import TorHandler

# Initialize handler
handler = TorHandler(recover=False)

# Download Tor binaries (automatic platform detection)
handler.download_and_install_tor_binaries()

# Configure ports
handler.add_socks_port(9050)
handler.add_control_port(9051)

# Start Tor
handler.start_tor_service()

# Create a hidden service
handler.register_hidden_service(port=80, target_port=8080)
handler.save_torrc_configuration()

# Stop Tor when done
handler.stop_tor_service()

Advanced Usage

Port Configuration with Collision Resolution

handler = TorHandler()

# Enable automatic port conflict resolution
handler.socks_port_collision_resolve = True
handler.control_port_collision_resolve = True

# Add ports - will auto-resolve if already in use
handler.add_socks_port(9050)
handler.add_control_port(9051)

Runtime Hidden Services

# Start Tor first
handler.start_tor_service()

# Add hidden service at runtime (no restart needed)
result = handler.register_runtime_hidden_service(
    port=80, 
    target_port=8080, 
    temporary=False
)

if result:
    print(f"Onion address: {result['onion_address']}")
    print(f"Service key: {result['service_key']}")

Control Protocol Commands

# Send commands to Tor control port
responses = handler.send_control_commands([
    "GETINFO version",
    "GETINFO status/bootstrap-phase",
    "GETINFO network-status"
])

for idx, response in responses.items():
    print(f"{response['command']}: {response['response']}")

Process Monitoring

# Get process information
process = handler.get_tor_process()
if process:
    print(f"PID: {process.pid}")
    print(f"Status: {process.status()}")
    print(f"Memory: {process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024:.2f} MB")
    print(f"CPU: {process.cpu_percent()}%")

Multiple Hidden Services

handler = TorHandler()

# Register multiple services
services = [
    (80, 8080, "HTTP"),
    (443, 8443, "HTTPS"),
    (22, 2222, "SSH")
]

for port, target, name in services:
    result = handler.register_hidden_service(
        port=port, 
        target_port=target
    )
    print(f"Registered {name}: {port} -> {target}")

# Save configuration
handler.save_torrc_configuration()

Configuration Options

Initialization Parameters

handler = TorHandler(
    recover=True  # Load existing configuration on startup
)

Port Limits

handler.max_socks_ports = 3       # Maximum SOCKS ports
handler.max_control_ports = 3     # Maximum control ports
handler.max_hidden_services = 3   # Maximum hidden services

Debug Mode

handler.debug = True              # Enable debug logging
handler.log_level = 0             # 0=INFO, 1=WARNING, 2=ERROR
