.onion is a special-use top level domain suffix designating an anonymous hidden service reachable via the Tor network. Such addresses are not actual DNS names, and the .onion TLD is not in the Internet DNS root, but with the appropriate proxy software installed, Internet programs such as web browsers can access sites with .onion addresses by sending the request through the network of Tor servers.

.onion is a special-use top level


domain suffix designating an
anonymous hidden service
reachable via the Tor network.
How to access .onion sites
 Internet programs such as Web browser can access sites with
.onion addresses by sending the request through the TOR
network.
Components of Tor network

Client: the user of the Tor network


Server: the target TCP applications such as web servers
Tor (onion) router: the special proxy relays the application data
Directory server: servers holding Tor router information
How Tor works ?-Onion routing

•A circuit is built incrementally one hop by one hop


•Onion-like encryption
Alice negotiates an AES key with each router
Messages are divided into equal sized cells
Each router knows only its predecessor and
successor
Only the Exit router (OR3) can see the message,
however it does not know where the message is from

Traditional threats to Tor security
DNS Leaks
 DNS requests not sent through
Tor network by default
 Attacker could see what
websites are being visited
 external software such as
Foxyproxy and Privoxy can
be used to route DNS requests
through tor network, but this
is _not_ default behavior

Traffic Analysis
 "Traffic-analysis is
extracting and inferring
information from network
meta-data, including the
volumes and timing of
network packets, as well
as the visible network
addresses they are originating
from and destined for."
 Tor is a low latency network,
and thus is vulnerable to an
attacker who can see both ends of a connection
