boost-asio-portfolio-site (https://bilenko.sytes.net)
Of course there are a lot of already established server programs, but for the sake of learning Boost ASIO and trying out network programming, these small HTTP and HTTPS servers were created.
I was curious how do some people host websites accessible through tor network, so I hosted one (http://defaultuzrc5mqrl2r73673vwgvpzscoubjb7n23wezmyq4ffoyjeiyd.onion), and told how to do that below.
Also I was surprized when I noticed some IP's that are not mine or my friends' visiting my site, and there were a lot of them, so I composed a python IP lookup script that traverses the list of IPs using freely accessible webservice through "torred" firefox browser and outputs the geolocation and the organisation visiting.

Ubuntu:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install g++ make
sudo apt install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
dpkg -s libboost-all-dev | grep Version
Arch linux (might not be the full list):
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S base-devel
sudo pacman -S boost boost-libs openssl boost-asio
to run the server:
cd http or cd https
sudo make run
to test it out visit https://localhost or http://localhost respectively
On arch linux sudo pacman -S tor
On ubuntu sudo apt install tor
On both sudo service tor start
after that add lines
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/your_hidden_service_name/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
somewhere to /etc/tor/torrc
then restart tor service:
sudo systemctl restart tor
-
make sure your HTTP server is up and running
-
allow connections from outside on port 80 (and to be doubly sure on port 9050)
-
install tor browser
-
and visit your website on link in the file
/var/lib/tor/your_hidden_service_name/hostname.
Note #3: If changes are made to the torrc you'd normally need to refresh the tor service.
you can use eschalot tool , ./eschalot -ct5 -p {name} and get yourself the .onion hostname starting with {name}. Put files hostname, hs_ed25519_public_key and hs_ed25519_secret_key in place of the same files in /var/lib/tor/your_hidden_service_name/ and restart tor service. Clear cache and restart tor browser if you want to see changes made.
On arch:
sudo pacman -S python
sudo pacman -S python-virtualenv
On ubuntu
sudo apt install python3
sudo apt install python3-venv
to run it:
make sure to have sessions.log in the same directory as the script and tor service installed
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python ip_lookup.py
(upon errors install needed python modules using pip)
