Onion Routing

Overview

This repository contains a basic implementation of Onion Routing, a technique for anonymous communication over a computer network. The project includes multiple Python scripts that simulate the core components of an onion routing system, including client, server, and relay functionalities.

Features

• Client-Server Communication: Establishes secure communication channels between clients and servers.
• Encryption & Decryption: Utilizes custom cryptographic functions to ensure data privacy and integrity.
• Relay Servers: Implements multiple relay layers to anonymize the traffic origin.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Pip for Python package management

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/AnasMohammad4321/Onion-Routing.git

2. Move to project's directory

cd Onion-Routing

3. Activate the virtual environment

source dev/bin/activate

4. Install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Application

To start the system, run the following scripts in separate terminals:

1. python directory.py - Starts the directory server.
2. python relay_server.py - Initializes the first relay server.
3. python relay_server1.py and python relay_server2.py - Additional relay servers.
4. python client_server.py https://www.DUMMY.com - Launches the client application.
