Some draconian networks block TLS unless a corporate # certificate is installed on the system. Additionally, some users install a self signed cert # in order to use programs to modify or monitor requests made by programs on the system. # Finally, certificates expire and need to be updated, or are sometimes revoked. Sometimes # certificate authorites go rogue and need to be untrusted. Since we are going through Tor exit nodes, # this becomes all the more important. A rogue CA could issue a fake certificate for accounts.google.com, and a # malicious exit node could use this to decrypt traffic when logging in and retrieve passwords. Examples: # https://www.engadget.com/2015/10/29/google-warns-symantec-over-certificates/ # https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2013/12/09/serious-security-google-finds-fake-but-trusted-ssl-certificates-for-its-domains-made-in-france/ # In the requests documentation it says: # "Before version 2.16, Requests bundled a set of root CAs that it trusted, sourced from the Mozilla trust store. # The certificates were only updated once for each Requests version. When certifi was not installed, # this led to extremely out-of-date certificate bundles when using significantly older versions of Requests. # For the sake of security we recommend upgrading certifi frequently!" # (http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#ca-certificates) # Expecting users to remember to manually update certifi on Linux isn't reasonable in my view. # On windows, this is even worse since I am distributing all dependencies. This program is not # updated frequently, and using requests would lead to outdated certificates. Certificates # should be updated with OS updates, instead of thousands of developers of different programs # being expected to do this correctly 100% of the time. # There is hope that this might be fixed eventually: # https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/2966 # Until then, I will use a mix of urllib3 and urllib. import urllib3 import urllib3.contrib.socks URL_ORIGIN = "/https://www.youtube.com" connection_pool = urllib3.PoolManager(cert_reqs='CERT_REQUIRED') class TorManager: MAX_TRIES = 3 # Remember the 7-sec wait times, so make cooldown be two of those # (otherwise it will retry forever if 429s never end) COOLDOWN_TIME = 14 def __init__(self): self.old_tor_connection_pool = None self.tor_connection_pool = urllib3.contrib.socks.SOCKSProxyManager( 'socks5h://127.0.0.1:' + str(settings.tor_port) + '/', cert_reqs='CERT_REQUIRED') self.tor_pool_refresh_time = time.monotonic() settings.add_setting_changed_hook( 'tor_port', lambda old_val, new_val: self.refresh_tor_connection_pool(), ) self.new_identity_lock = gevent.lock.BoundedSemaphore(1) self.last_new_identity_time = time.monotonic() - 20 self.try_num = 1 def refresh_tor_connection_pool(self): self.tor_connection_pool.clear() # Keep a reference for 5 min to avoid it getting garbage collected # while sockets still in use self.old_tor_connection_pool = self.tor_connection_pool self.tor_connection_pool = urllib3.contrib.socks.SOCKSProxyManager( 'socks5h://127.0.0.1:' + str(settings.tor_port) + '/', cert_reqs='CERT_REQUIRED') self.tor_pool_refresh_time = time.monotonic() def get_tor_connection_pool(self): # Tor changes circuits after 10 minutes: # https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/262/for-how-long-does-a-circuit-stay-alive current_time = time.monotonic() # close pool after 5 minutes if current_time - self.tor_pool_refresh_time > 300: self.refresh_tor_connection_pool() return self.tor_connection_pool def new_identity(self, time_failed_request_started): '''return error, or None if no error and the identity is fresh''' # The overall pattern at maximum (always returning 429) will be # R N (0) R N (6) R N (6) R | (12) R N (0) R N (6) ... # where R is a request, N is a new identity, (x) is a wait time of # x sec, and | is where we give up and display an error to the user. print('new_identity: new_identity called') # blocks if another greenlet currently has the lock self.new_identity_lock.acquire() print('new_identity: New identity lock acquired') try: # This was caused by a request that failed within a previous, # stale identity if time_failed_request_started <= self.last_new_identity_time: print('new_identity: Cancelling;
