An exit node checks the prior node in the path, and if it is not part of the Tor Network, will not allow a single-hop path to be built through it*. This settings can be disabled on the ExitNode (that is, you can explicitly allow that behavior) by setting ExcludeSingleHopRelays. (https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#ExcludeSingleHopRelays) I suspect that someone could trick the Exit Node by running a tor relay and building a SingleHop circuit through your exit node from the same machine running the relay - but generally speaking this is not something you should worry about, as it affects everyone equally. -tom * Take these statements at a high level, and if you want to know _exactly_ how it 'checks if it's part of the network' or 'checks the prior node in the path', you should read the source. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
