From 2bc69cd9e37807bb7a5302f1a70661386610101c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sami Ahmed Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2026 16:36:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] scripts: add v3 onion address validator for triangles.conf Detects corrupted .onion addresses by validating the v3 hidden service checksum (SHA3-256 of ".onion checksum" || pubkey || version). Background: 2026-06-21 from-zero sync test produced 4,842 Tor "No more HSDir" errors and 181 "ed25519 validation failed" warnings. Root cause: a 1-character transposition (btb6 vs gtb6) in the test config's vmepp seed address. This tool would have caught it in 0.1s. Usage: ./scripts/validate_onion_seeds.py /root/.triangles/triangles.conf ./scripts/validate_onion_seeds.py /path/to/triangles.conf --ci ./scripts/validate_onion_seeds.py /path/to/triangles.conf \ --against /root/triangles_v5/src/onionseed.h Features: * Validates every addnode= line against v3 onion checksum * Suggests the correct address if 1-2 char transposition detected * Detects truncated/extended/non-base32 addresses * Cross-checks multiple configs (catches test vs prod mismatches) * CI mode exits 1 on any failure (gates deploys) * Pure stdlib, no pip deps (works in any Python 3.8+ env) --- scripts/validate_onion_seeds.py | 391 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 391 insertions(+) create mode 100755 scripts/validate_onion_seeds.py diff --git a/scripts/validate_onion_seeds.py b/scripts/validate_onion_seeds.py new file mode 100755 index 0000000..ee4abc7 --- /dev/null +++ b/scripts/validate_onion_seeds.py @@ -0,0 +1,391 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env python3 +""" +validate_onion_seeds.py - Cryptographic Triangles v3 onion address validator + +Validates every .onion address in a triangles.conf (or any text file) against +the v3 hidden service checksum algorithm: + + v3 onion = base32( version[2] || pubkey[32] || checksum[2] ) + where checksum = SHA3-256( ".onion checksum" || version || pubkey )[:2] + and version = 0x03 0x00 + +A corrupted v3 onion (e.g. one character transposed) will have a valid base32 +shape but a failing checksum.
