I wonder if localhost + port is a good idea for tor or really any other
service. Our experience with the confused deputy attack against guile's
live REPL makes me suspicious of anything that's localhost + port.
I notice that the Tor configuration file supports a unix domain socket:
ControlSocket Path
Like ControlPort, but listens on a Unix domain socket, rather than a
TCP socket. 0 disables
ControlSocket (Unix and Unix-like systems only.)
I wonder if that would be safer? WDYT?
