PHP Telnet Script to Connect to TOR and Refresh IP Address
This is a quick little script I wrote which will hopefully save some people the headache I went through getting this to work. There is one other script out there which everone seems to be using, trouble is it was obviously written for a different version of PHP and does not work.
This has been tested with PHP version 5.3.5. on a windows platform.
The problem I was having was with carriage return and new lines. Both /r and /n we registering as litteral characters no matter what I did. Replacing them with “
” fixed the problem. Also ensuring there are no spaces between the opening inverted commas, the line break and the closing inverted commas ie “
“
Dreamweaver has a habbit of trying to format your code so it looks nice and neat – in this case it was causing a bunch of spaces to be inserted in between the inverted commas.
Does that make sense? probably not – but who cares – here’s the code any way.
<?php
function tor_telnet($ip,$port,$auth,$command) {
$fp = fsockopen($ip,$port,$error_number,$err_string,10);
if(!$fp) { echo “ERROR: $error_number : $err_string
“;
return false;
} else {
fwrite($fp,’AUTHENTICATE “‘.$auth.’”
‘);
$received = fread($fp,512);
echo $received;
fwrite($fp,$command.’
‘);
echo “<BR>”;
$received = fread($fp,512);
// list($rcode,$explanation) = explode(‘ ‘,$received,2);
echo $received;
}
fclose($fp);
}
tor_telnet(’127.0.0.1′,’9051′,’password’,'signal NEWNYM’);
?>
Let me know if you find this useful.
function tor_telnet($ip,$port,$auth,$command) {
$fp = fsockopen($ip,$port,$error_number,$err_string,10);
if(!$fp) { echo “ERROR: $error_number : $err_string
“;
return false;
} else {
fwrite($fp,’AUTHENTICATE “‘.$auth.’”
‘);
$received = fread($fp,512);
echo $received;
fwrite($fp,$command.’
‘);
echo “<BR>”;
$received = fread($fp,512);
// list($rcode,$explanation) = explode(‘ ‘,$received,2);
echo $received;
}
fclose($fp);
}
tor_telnet(’127.0.0.1′,’9051′,’test’,'signal NEWNYM’);
?>
