Tor && Vidalia Ports

[Jasper Frumau]

The whole main log for Vidalia is here: http://pastebin.com/Yhx0Q3hx

Now on my issues with tor from the command line:

tor -help start did not help:

$ tor -help start
Apr 16 09:19:45.830 [notice] Tor v0.2.2.35 (git-b04388f9e7546a9f). This is
experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on
Darwin i386)
Apr 16 09:19:45.830 [notice] Configuration file "/opt/local/etc/tor/torrc"
not present, using reasonable defaults.
Apr 16 09:19:45.831 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Unknown option
'help'.  Failing.
Apr 16 09:19:45.831 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.

But when I entered tor as a command, it did start it all up. Just not sure
how I can test it from the terminal..

When I tried to use tor to test the security of a site of mine using wpscan
and tor host:port 127.0.0.1:9050 I did see this error:

Apr 16 09:47:43.641 [warn] Socks version 71 not recognized. (Tor is not an
http proxy.)
Apr 16 09:47:43.642 [warn] Socks version 71 not recognized. (Tor is not an
http proxy.)
Apr 16 09:47:43.642 [warn] Socks version 71 not recognized. (Tor is not an
http proxy.)
Apr 16 09:47:43.643 [warn] Socks version 71 not recognized. (Tor is not an
http proxy.)

so I installed privoxy. I did no longer receive the same error and could
see the privoxy online page to see it was running. But when I pick privoxy
for all protocols in Firefox using 127.0.0.1 and port 8118 and went to
whatismyip.com I still got my ip address. So I am not sure if my
application using --proxy 127.0.0.1:8118 is really making the call
anonymous even though I did not get any errors. And there you go, when I
checked the access logs my IP address was logged.

I asked for some tips at wpscan, but if anyone on the list has any ideas
what I am missing please let me know.
