It makes onion/I2P endpoints look like peers on an IP network, so ordinary IP-based protocols can travel over Tor or I2P hidden-service transports. ### プロジェクトの歴史 OnionCat development began in 2008, when Tor hidden-service v2 identifiers were short enough to be reversibly mapped into IPv6 addresses under a special prefix. Its own documentation describes the core trick as translating between OnionCat IPv6 addresses and .onion hostnames, then forwarding packets between a local TUN device and remote OnionCat peers. The move from Tor v2 hidden services to v3 onion services challenged OnionCat's original design because v3 identifiers no longer fit inside an IPv6 address. OnionCat4 added lookup machinery to preserve the virtual-network model after the identifier-size change. ### 採用の歴史 OnionCat has been packaged beyond a single ecosystem: Debian documented an ocat(1) man page by the Jessie era, and Homebrew packages onioncat for macOS and Linux users. Its GitHub repository is the official upstream and had an onioncat-4.11.0 release dated March 9, 2023. ### 使われ方 Users run ocat with a local onion or I2P identifier, and OnionCat opens a TUN device, assigns it a derived IPv6 address, and relays packets through Tor or I2P. The tool can carry TCP, UDP, and other IP-based traffic, making it resemble a peer-to-peer VPN between hidden services rather than a web-only Tor client. The README also exposes OnionCat's operational rough edges: it is a userland connector, depends on Tor/I2P setup, and does not add its own encryption on top of the transport. That makes it a tool for operators who understand the underlying anonymity network rather than a general-purpose consumer VPN. ### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性 OnionCat matters because it is one of the more literal attempts to package 'IP over onion services' as a Unix-style command. It combines old-school TUN-device networking, IPv6 address mapping, Tor/I2P naming, and distro packaging into a compact but unusual formula. ### タイムライン - 2008: OnionCat development began around Tor hidden-service v2 identifiers. - 2015: Debian Jessie shipped an onioncat man page documenting ocat as an IP-transparent Tor/I2P connector. - 2023-03-09: onioncat-4.11.0 was published as a GitHub release. - 2023-10-25: the upstream README/man-page text identified ocat and documented OnionCat4 behavior. ### Related projects - Related projects and technologies include Tor onion services, I2P server tunnels, TUN/TAP virtual network interfaces, and VPN-style tunneling tools. ### ソース - - - - ## セキュリティノート narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger リスク:** グリーン / 低 - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## ソースデータベース詳細 - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** onioncat - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## 他のパッケージマネージャ記録 - apk - onioncat - 4.11.0-r1: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: onioncat from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | OnionCat is a VPN-adapter, which uses Tor or I2P as its transport. | https://www.onioncat.org/ - apk - onioncat-doc - 4.11.0-r1: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: onioncat-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | OnionCat is a VPN-adapter, which uses Tor or I2P as its transport.
