I have problems running the onion repository mode and some plugins which perform connections against hidden services in TOR, ¿what am I doing wrong?¶

Every connection against the Deep web, must to use a SOCKS proxy to route the traffic through a TOR circuit. To do that, you must start a local instance of TOR and setting the “SocksPort” property in the configuration file “torrc” used to start TOR. On other hand, the default value for that port in Tortazo is “9150” and you can change that value manually editing property “socksPort” in the configuration file “config/config.py” (If you’re using the development version, you can’t change that value using the executable distributed). Also, if you want to start automatically a new instance of TOR when you’re executing Tortazo, just specify the switches -T / –tor-localinstance and -U / –use-localinstance. Check the switches available in Tortazo Supported Switches in Tortazo.

I get an error when try to loading a Plugin¶

Check two things: 1. The user that runs the command must read and write over the structure directories where Tortazo runs. Check the permissions of your user. 2. The argument passed to the switch -P / –use-plugin must include a valid plugin registered in the application. To see the modules enabled in Tortazo, check the configuration file “pluginsDeployed.py”

Oh man, the onion repository mode has been running for the last “n” hours and I don’t have any result ¿Am I doing something wrong?¶

Well, this could be something normal. Please, check the onion repository documentation Repository mode in Tortazo Also, you must have a TOR local instance up and running with the SocksPort property enabled.

When I run some functions of the plugins “crawler” or “hiddenService” twice, I get the error “ReactorNotRestartable”.¶

The crawler plugin uses Scrapy Framework (http://scrapy.org/) which uses Twisted for every connection and network process. Twisted have an element called “reactor” which is designed to not be “restartable”, so if you run the function “crawlOnionWebSite” from the crawler plugin twice, you’ll get that error. You should exit from the plugin interpreter and run the plugin again.

I’m trying to use shodan to gather information about the relays found, but I get errors¶

To use Shodan, you’ll need a valid Shodan Key, which you can get if created a new Shodan account. http://www.shodanhq.com/ Also, the shodan key must be included in a plain-text file (in just one line) and use the switch -k / –shodan-key If you use the Shodan plugin available, you’ll have another extended options to perform searches against shodan.
