Function authenticate_none 

pub async fn authenticate_none(socket: &mut ControlSocket) -> Result<(), Error>

Authenticates to an open control socket (no credentials required).

This function sends an empty AUTHENTICATE command, which succeeds when Tor’s control port is configured without any authentication requirements.

Preconditions

• The socket must be connected
• Tor must be configured with no authentication (NULL method)

Postconditions

• On success: The socket is authenticated
• On failure: The socket may be disconnected by Tor

Arguments

• socket - A connected control socket

Errors

Returns Error::Authentication with AuthError::SecurityFailure if Tor rejects the authentication attempt.

Security Warning

Using NONE authentication is insecure and should only be used for:

• Local testing environments
• Trusted localhost connections
• Development purposes

Never use NONE authentication in production or when the control port is accessible from untrusted networks.

Example

use stem_rs::auth::authenticate_none;
use stem_rs::ControlSocket;

let mut socket = ControlSocket::connect_port("127.0.0.1:9051".parse()?).await?;
authenticate_none(&mut socket).await?;
// Socket is now authenticated
