      <h2>Install the Tor command line tool</h2>
      <p>
        <p>You can install from MacPorts or Homebrew on OS X, from aptitude in Debian/Ubuntu, from <a href="https://www.torproject.org/docs/rpms.html.en">rpms</a> in Fedora/RedHat, or <a href="https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en">download directly</a> for Windows (you need the "expert bundle").</p>
        <p>These instructions assume you are using Homebrew and OS X, so:</p>
        <pre>brew install tor</pre>
        <p>Run Tor:</p>
        <pre>tor</pre>
        <p>Tor is now listening on port 9050. Your computer won't use Tor by default; you have to manually route apps through Tor.</p>
        <p>With Tor running, open a new tab and run curl. This should echo HTML from broniesaustralia.com.au.</p>

        <pre>curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 broniesaustralia.com.au</pre>


      <h2>Creating a hidden service .onion domain</h2>
      <p>
      Tor allows you to expose a web service anonymously. First lets set up a very simple webserver in a new terminal tab.

      <pre>mkdir simple-service
cd simple-service
echo "Hello, Tor!" > index.html
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000</pre>
      <p>Test that it is working by opening a new tab and running:</p>
      <pre>curl localhost:8000</pre>
      </p>


      <p>
        Edit your torrc:
      </p>

        <pre>vi /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc</pre>
        <p>
        and add the following lines:
        </p>

        <pre>log info file /usr/local/etc/tor/tor.log
# hidden services!
HiddenServiceDir /usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_http_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:8000</pre>

        <p>This will take the server running on localhost port 8000 and make it available as a Tor hidden service</p>

        <p>Restart Tor for the changes to take effect:</p>

        <pre>tor</pre>

        <p>You can't choose your onion domain name for your hidden service (yet). It is generated by Tor. To find your domain name, read the contents of the hostname file:</p>
        <pre>cat /usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_http_service/hostname</pre>

        <p>You can test your service using curl through Tor (where <code>xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.onion</code> is the result of the previous command):</p>
        <pre>curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.onion</pre>

        Your service is published! You can now access the .onion link from someone else's machine.


        <h2>Congratulations! You have a Tor hidden service running.</h2>
        <p>
        People can anonymously connect to it and get your hello message but won't be able to identify your machine.
        </p>

        <p>
          Now you've got the basics set up, you'll want to get it hosted somewhere reliable.
          The next page shows you how to set up and pay for a web server anonymously.
          This will provide better reliability for your service and if done correctly will provide a second anonymous shield between you and anyone trying to learn your identity.
