Echolot-pinger is a pinger for anonymous remailers, which works by regularly sending messages through remailers to check their reliability. It then calculates reliability statistics which are used by remailer clients to choose the chain of remailers to use. Additionally, it collects configuration parameters and the keys of all remailers, and offers them in a format readable by remailer clients.

Recent releases


Release Notes: Init script logout is redirected to /dev/null in the logrotate snippet installed by the Debian package.


Release Notes: The use of undefined variables while logging trace output is now caught.


Release Notes: This release adds several fixes for bugs introduced in 2.1.4, removes several unnecessary "warn" logs, and makes a few new features actually work.


Release Notes: Some interface improvements were made, like new "disable" and "enable" commands as shorthand for setting pingit, showit, and fetch individually. Echolot now does lifetime checks for mixmaster keys, ignoring expired and future keys. It filters out most of Mixmaster's output to stderr, and improves interaction with GnuPG.


Release Notes: Improvements were made to the pingd.conf(5) manual page, and a spelling mistake was corrected.
