I have the following script which uses SocksiPY
and Tor:
from TorCtl import TorCtl
import socks
import socket
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 9050)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
import urllib2
import sqlite3
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
def newId():
conn = TorCtl.connect(controlAddr="127.0.0.1", controlPort=9051, passphrase="123")
TorCtl.Connection.send_signal(conn, "NEWNYM")
newId()
print(urllib2.urlopen("http://www.ifconfig.me/ip").read())
This code should change Tor identity but it waits for some time and gives the following error:
tuple index out of range
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "template.py", line 16, in <module>
newId()
File "template.py", line 14, in newId
TorCtl.Connection.send_signal(conn, "NEWNYM")
TypeError: unbound method send_signal() must be called with Connection instance as first argument (got NoneType instance instead)
But above script is divided into 2 separate scripts:
import socks
import socket
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 9050)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
import urllib2
import sqlite3
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
print(urllib2.urlopen("http://www.ifconfig.me/ip").read())
AND:
from TorCtl import TorCtl
def newId():
conn = TorCtl.connect(controlAddr="127.0.0.1", controlPort=9051, passphrase="123")
TorCtl.Connection.send_signal(conn, "NEWNYM")
newId()
When second script is called then first is called it is ok. Can anyone explain what is the problem and how to fix?
