Excellent! :D Thanks for this, I haven’t yet tried it out, but it looks simple and straight-forward.

It's not exactly a light read, but I'm pretty sure you'll find your answer in there, somewhere. Take a look at the TOR control protocol spec.

So we can force TOR to change identity, but next question is how to ask TOR what new identity is and/or what new trace? Thank you for the script.

Thanks a lot for the piece of code. Just on more thing, about the password auth. On my MAC i need to tune a bit your code and change the fputs($fp, "AUTHENTICATE $auth_code\r\n"); to fputs($fp, "AUTHENTICATE \"".$auth_code."\"\r\n"); cheers! Hi!

TOR installs with "Randomly Generate" password option set automatically (in the Advanced tab in the settings of Vidalia). For this to work, you need to either specify a password, or specify Authentication as "None". You MUST restart Vidalia in order for the settings to take effect. To see that it works, browse to a site like "whatsmyipaddress.com" and note the IP address. you can optionally TELNET into the control port, type "AUTHENTICATE" then press "enter" (for the nopassword option), then type "signal newnym" and press "enter". Refresh your browser (that has been set to point to TOR's proxy server) and notice that your IP address has changed! I'm going to rewrite this script in VB.NET so I can do other t'ings. Thanks again!

Maybe you could use a network sniffer to see what's actually going on between you app. and TOR; that could provide some clues.

When I connect to the control port with a socket connection, I get the error: [Warning] Socks version 115 not recognized. (Tor is not an http proxy.) in the Tor Message Log. Any thoughts? I think the socket library is IPV6. And runs a TCP connection. I am trying to send the new identity command from a .NET application using the .NET Socket library.

Doing this with cURL would be extremely hard (if not impossible) because cURL is intended for work with HTTP and not raw sockets. Id'd stick with the <code>fsockopen</code> version if I were you.

You see instead of using fopen, I am using cURL to connect and I know this is probably easy and trivial and staring at me right in the face, but how do I send the change identity header string to Tor via cURL?
