MacOS

Homebrew

  • Install homebrew: https://brew.sh/
  • brew install python3 geckodriver chromedriver

Checkout xv_leak_tools_internal

Simply git clone this repo to a location of your choice. We'll refer to the python subfolder in that location as $LEAK_TOOLS_ROOT.

Setup python

Run ./setup_python.sh $VIRTUALENV_LOCATION where $VIRTUALENV_LOCATION is the directory where you want the virtualenv to be created, e.g.

./setup_python.sh ~/xv_leak_testing_python

You can now source the activate script as a shortcut to activating virtualenv with this version of python.

TODO: Consider adding pyobjc directly into the codebase. It looks like it's not updated often.

Install VPN Applications

Install ExpressVPN and any other applications you want to test. No specific steps related to leak testing are required.

Install Browsers and Webdrivers

Ensure that Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari are installed.

In order for selenium to control various browsers some extra steps are required.

Note that Chrome and Firefox are covered by the brew steps above.

Opera

You need to copy the opera driver into a folder in your PATH variable. It can be downloaded from https://github.com/operasoftware/operachromiumdriver/releases. The easiest thing to do is just copy it into /usr/local/sbin.

Safari

Safari doesn't need an extra driver, but permissions are required to drive the browser. Go to Safari->Preferences->Advanced and check "Show Develop in Menu Bar". Then go to the Develop dropdown in the menu bar and check "Allow Remote Automation".

Install Torrent Clients

You can choose which torrent clients you want to test. We have tested

  • Transmission
  • uTorrent
