Documentation and testing on 0.1.2.x-final series
|
|
|
|
- Pending backports for 0.1.2.x:
|
|
- r10148: Open cached-routers with FILE_SHARE_READ on win32.
|
|
- r10493: Weight guard selection by bandwidth.
|
|
|
|
N - Test guard unreachable logic; make sure that we actually attempt to
|
|
connect to guards that we think are unreachable from time to time.
|
|
Make sure that we don't freak out when the network is down.
|
|
|
|
. Forward compatibility fixes
|
|
N - Hack up a client that gives out weird/no certificates, so we can
|
|
test to make sure that this doesn't cause servers to crash.
|
|
|
|
NR. Write path-spec.txt
|
|
|
|
- Docs
|
|
- Tell people about OSX Uninstaller
|
|
- Quietly document NT Service options
|
|
- More prominently, we should have a recommended apps list.
|
|
- recommend gaim.
|
|
- unrecommend IE because of ftp:// bug.
|
|
N - we should add a preamble to tor-design saying it's out of date.
|
|
N . Document transport and natdport
|
|
o In man page
|
|
- In a good HOWTO.
|
|
|
|
Things we'd like to do in 0.2.0.x:
|
|
- Bug reports I've heard along that way that don't have enough
|
|
details to solve them yet.
|
|
- tup said that when he set FetchUselessDescriptors, after
|
|
24 or 48 hours he wasn't fetching any descriptors at all
|
|
anymore. This was in 0.2.0 but worked fine in 0.1.2.
|
|
- arma noticed that when his network went away and he tried
|
|
a new guard node and the connect() syscall failed to it,
|
|
the guard wasn't being marked as down. 0.2.0.x.
|
|
- after being without network for 12 hours, arma's tor decided
|
|
it couldn't fetch any network statuses, and never tried again
|
|
even when the network came back and arma clicked on things.
|
|
also 0.2.0.
|
|
- Update dir-spec with decisions made on these issues:
|
|
o clients don't log as loudly when they receive them
|
|
o they don't count toward the 3-strikes rule
|
|
D But eventually, we give up after getting a lot of 503s.
|
|
D Delay when we get a lot of 503s, rather than punting onto the
|
|
servers that have given us 503s?
|
|
o Add a 'BadDirectory' flag to statuses.
|
|
o authorities should *never* 503 a cache, and should never 503
|
|
network status requests.
|
|
D They can 503 client descriptor requests when they feel like it.
|
|
How can they distinguish? Not implemented for now, maybe
|
|
should abandon.
|
|
- describe our 302 not modified behaviors.
|
|
- and document a bit more -- e.g. it looks like we return an empty
|
|
200 OK when somebody asks us for a networkstatus and we don't
|
|
have it?
|
|
|
|
- Proposals:
|
|
. 101: Voting on the Tor Directory System (plus 103)
|
|
o Prepare ASAP for new voting formats
|
|
o Don't flip out with warnings when voting-related URLs are
|
|
uploaded/downloaded.
|
|
. Finalize proposal
|
|
. Merge 101 and 103 and dir-spec.txt into a new dir-spec.txt; fork
|
|
the existing one into dir-spec-v2.txt.
|
|
- Get authorities voting
|
|
. Implement parsing for new document formats
|
|
o Parse key certificates
|
|
o Parse votes and consensuses
|
|
- Unit tests for above
|
|
. Code to manage key certificates
|
|
o Generate certificates
|
|
o Authorities load certificates
|
|
o Clients cache certificates on disk
|
|
- Download as needed.
|
|
- Serve list as needed.
|
|
o Avoid double-checking signatures every time we get a vote.
|
|
- Warn about expired stuff.
|
|
o Code to generate votes
|
|
o Code to generate consensus from a list of votes
|
|
- Add a signature to a consensus.
|
|
o Code to check signatures on a consensus
|
|
- Push/pull documents as appropriate.
|
|
o Have clients know which authorities are v3 authorities, and what
|
|
their keys are.
|
|
- While we're at it, let v3 authorities have fqdns lines.
|
|
- Start caching consensus documents once authorities make them
|
|
- Start downloading and using consensus documents once caches serve them
|
|
. 104: Long and Short Router Descriptors
|
|
. Finalize proposal
|
|
o Implement parsing for extra-info documents
|
|
o Have routers generate extra-info documents.
|
|
o Have have authorities accept them and serve them from specified URLs
|
|
o Implement directory-protocol side.
|
|
o Implement storage in memory
|
|
o Implement cache on disk.
|
|
o Have routers upload extra-info documents to authorities running
|
|
version 0.2.0.0-alpha-dev (r10070) or later.
|
|
o Implement, but make it option-controlled.
|
|
o Make it always-on once it seems to work.
|
|
o Implement option to download and cache extra-info documents.
|
|
o Improve the 'retry' logic on extra-info documents.
|
|
- Drop bandwidth history from router-descriptors
|
|
- 105: Version negotiation for the Tor protocol
|
|
- 108: Base "Stable" Flag on Mean Time Between Failures
|
|
- 109: No more than one server per IP address
|
|
o 103: Splitting identity key from regularly used signing key
|
|
o Merge with 101 into a new dir-spec.txt
|
|
- 113: Simplifying directory authority administration
|
|
- 110: prevent infinite-length circuits (phase one)
|
|
- servers should recognize relay_extend cells and pass them
|
|
on just like relay cells
|
|
- Refactoring:
|
|
- Make resolves no longer use edge_connection_t unless they are actually
|
|
_on_ on a socks connection: have edge_connection_t and (say)
|
|
dns_request_t both extend an edge_stream_t, and have p_streams and
|
|
n_streams both be linked lists of edge_stream_t.
|
|
. Make cells get buffered on circuit, not on the or_conn.
|
|
O Implement cell queues
|
|
o Keep doubly-linked list of active circuits on each or_conn.
|
|
o Put all relay data on the circuit cell queue, not on the outbuf.
|
|
o Don't move them into the target conn until there is space on the
|
|
target conn's outbuf.
|
|
o When making a circuit active on a connection with an empty buf,
|
|
we need to "prime" the buffer, so that we can trigger the "I flushed
|
|
some" test.
|
|
X Change how directory-bridge-choking works: choke when circuit queue
|
|
is full, not when the orconn is "too full".
|
|
[No need to do this: the edge-connection choking will already take
|
|
care of this a bit, and rewriting the 'bridged connection' code
|
|
to not use socketpairs will give us even more control.]
|
|
. Do we switch to pool-allocation for cells?
|
|
o Implement pool-allocation
|
|
o Have Tor use it for packed cells.
|
|
o Document it.
|
|
o Do something smart with freeing unused chunks.
|
|
- Benchmark pool-allocation vs straightforward malloc.
|
|
- Adjust memory allocation logic in pools to favor a little less
|
|
slack memory.
|
|
D Can we stop doing so many memcpys on cells?
|
|
o Also, only package data from exitconns when there is space on the
|
|
target OR conn's outbuf? or when the circuit is not too full.
|
|
- MAYBE kill stalled circuits rather than stalled connections; consider
|
|
anonymity implications.
|
|
- Move all status info out of routerinfo into local_routerstatus. Make
|
|
"who can change what" in local_routerstatus explicit. Make
|
|
local_routerstatus (or equivalent) subsume all places to go for "what
|
|
router is this?"
|
|
. Remove socketpair-based bridges conns, and the word "bridge". (Use
|
|
shared (or connected) buffers for communication, rather than sockets.)
|
|
o Design
|
|
o Pick a term. The term is now "linked connection."
|
|
o Figure out how to ensure that handle_read is always called.
|
|
(Use event_active; keep active events in a list; use event_once
|
|
to make sure that we call the event base dispatch function enough.)
|
|
. Implement
|
|
o Count connections and sockets separately
|
|
. Allow connections with s == -1
|
|
o Add a linked_conn field; it should get marked when we're marked.
|
|
o Add a function to move bytes from buffer to buffer.
|
|
o Have read_to_buf dtrt for linked connections
|
|
o Have handle_read dtrt for linked connections
|
|
o Have an activate/deactivate_linked_connection function.
|
|
o Have activated connections added to a list on first activation, and
|
|
that list made active before calls to event_loop.
|
|
o Have connections get deactivated when no more data to write on
|
|
linked conn outbuf.
|
|
o Handle closing connections properly.
|
|
o Actually create and use linked connections.
|
|
- Handle rate-limiting on directory writes to linked directory
|
|
connections in a more sensible manner.
|
|
o Rename want_to_read and want_to_write; they're actually about
|
|
being blocked, not about wanting to read/write.
|
|
- Find more ways to test this.
|
|
D Generate torrc.{complete|sample}.in, tor.1.in, the HTML manual, and the
|
|
online config documentation from a single source.
|
|
- Have clients do TLS connection rotation less often than "every 10
|
|
minutes" in the thrashy case, and more often than "once a week" in the
|
|
extra-stable case.
|
|
- Streamline how we pick entry nodes: Make choose_random_entry() have
|
|
less magic and less control logic.
|
|
- Implement TLS shutdown properly when possible.
|
|
- Maybe move NT services into their own module.
|
|
. Autoconf cleanups and improvements:
|
|
o Remove redundant event.h check.
|
|
o Check for zlib with the same machinery as for libevent and openssl.
|
|
o Make the "no longer strictly accurate" message accurate.
|
|
. Tell the user what -dev package to install based on OS.
|
|
- Detect correct version of libraries.
|
|
o Run autoupdate
|
|
- Refactor networkstatus generation:
|
|
o Use networkstatus_getinfo_helper_single() as base of
|
|
networkstatus generation; eliminate duplicate code.
|
|
- Include "v" line in getinfo values.
|
|
- Features:
|
|
- Traffic priorities
|
|
- Ability to prioritize own traffic over relayed traffic.
|
|
o Implement a DNS proxy
|
|
o Make a listener type.
|
|
o Hook into connection_edge logic.
|
|
o Hook into evdns_server_* logic
|
|
o Actually send back a useful answer.
|
|
o Make it handle .onion and .exit correctly.
|
|
- Document.
|
|
- Handle TCP DNS requests too?
|
|
o Add a way to request DNS resolves from the controller.
|
|
- A better UI for authority ops.
|
|
- Follow weasel's proposal, crossed with mixminion dir config format
|
|
- Write a proposal
|
|
- Bridges users (rudimentary version)
|
|
o Ability to specify bridges manually
|
|
o Config option 'UseBridges' that bridge users can turn on.
|
|
o uses bridges as first hop rather than entry guards.
|
|
D Do we want to maintain our own set of entryguards that we use as
|
|
next hop after the bridge? Open research question; let's say no
|
|
for 0.2.0 unless we learn otherwise.
|
|
o if you don't have any routerinfos for your bridges, or you don't
|
|
like the ones you have, ask a new bridge for its server/authority.
|
|
. Ask all directory questions to bridge via BEGIN_DIR.
|
|
- use the bridges for dir fetches even when our dirport is open.
|
|
R - drop 'authority' queries if they're to our own identity key; accept
|
|
them otherwise.
|
|
N - Design/implement the "local-status" or something like it, from the
|
|
"Descriptor purposes: how to tell them apart" section of
|
|
http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/May-2007/msg00008.html
|
|
- cache of bridges that we've learned about and use but aren't
|
|
manually listed in the torrc.
|
|
D and some mechanism for specifying that we want to stop using
|
|
a given bridge in this cache.
|
|
- timeout and retry schedules for fetching bridge descriptors
|
|
- give extend_info_t a router_purpose again
|
|
o react faster to download networkstatuses after the first bridge
|
|
descriptor arrives
|
|
- be more robust to bridges being marked as down and leaving us
|
|
stranded without any known "running" bridges.
|
|
- Bridges operators (rudimentary version)
|
|
- Ability to act as dir cache without a dir port.
|
|
o Bridges publish to bridge authorities
|
|
- Fix BEGIN_DIR so that you connect to bridge of which you only
|
|
know IP (and optionally fingerprint), and then use BEGIN_DIR to learn
|
|
more about it.
|
|
- look at server_mode() and decide if it always applies to bridges too.
|
|
- Bridges authorities (rudimentary version)
|
|
o Rudimentary "do not publish networkstatus" option for bridge
|
|
authorities.
|
|
- Clients can ask bridge authorities for more bridges.
|
|
D Should do reachability testing but only on the purpose==bridge
|
|
descriptors we have.
|
|
- Bridges
|
|
- Clients can ask bridge authorities for updates on known bridges.
|
|
- More TLS normalization work: make Tor less easily
|
|
fingerprinted.
|
|
- Directory system improvements
|
|
- config option to publish what ports you listen on, beyond
|
|
ORPort/DirPort. It should support ranges and bit prefixes (?) too.
|
|
- Let controller set router flags for authority to transmit, and for
|
|
client to use.
|
|
- Support relaying streams to ipv6.
|
|
- Internal code support for ipv6:
|
|
o Clone ipv6 functions (inet_ntop, inet_pton) where they don't exist.
|
|
- Most address variables need to become sockaddrs.
|
|
- Teach resolving code how to handle ipv6.
|
|
- Teach exit policies about ipv6 (consider ipv4/ipv6 interaction!)
|
|
- ...
|
|
- Let servers decide to support BEGIN_DIR but not DirPort.
|
|
o Tor should bind its ports before dropping privs, so users don't
|
|
have to do the ipchains dance.
|
|
- Blocking-resistance.
|
|
- It would be potentially helpful to https requests on the OR port by
|
|
acting like an HTTPS server.
|
|
- add an 'exit-address' line in the descriptor for servers that exit
|
|
from something that isn't their published address.
|
|
- Audit how much RAM we're using for buffers and cell pools; try to
|
|
trim down a lot.
|
|
- Accept \n as end of lines in the control protocol in addition to \r\n.
|
|
- Base relative control socket paths in datadir.
|
|
o Deprecations:
|
|
o Remove v0 control protocol.
|
|
- can we deprecate 'getinfo network-status'?
|
|
- can we deprecate the FastFirstHopPK config option?
|
|
P - Packaging:
|
|
P - Can we switch to polipo?
|
|
P - If we haven't replaced privoxy, lock down its configuration in all
|
|
packages, as documented in tor-doc-unix.html
|
|
P - Figure out why dll's compiled in mingw don't work right in WinXP.
|
|
P - Figure out why openssl 0.9.8e "make test" fails at sha256t test.
|
|
P - Figure out if including RSA and IDEA are bad for Tor from a legal
|
|
perspective
|
|
P - Create packages for Nokia 800, requested by Chris Soghoian
|
|
P - Consider creating special Tor-Polipo-Vidalia test packages,
|
|
requested by Dmitri Vitalev
|
|
- add an AuthDirBadexit torrc option if we decide we want one.
|
|
|
|
Deferred from 0.1.2.x:
|
|
- BEGIN_DIR items
|
|
- turn the received socks addr:port into a digest for setting .exit
|
|
- handle connect-dir streams that don't have a chosen_exit_name set.
|
|
- 'networkstatus arrived' event
|
|
- More work on AvoidDiskWrites?
|
|
- Get some kind of "meta signing key" to be used solely to sign
|
|
releases/to certify releases when signed by the right people/
|
|
to certify sign the right people's keys? Also use this to cert the SSL
|
|
key, etc. (Proposal 103)
|
|
- per-conn write buckets
|
|
- separate config options for read vs write limiting
|
|
(It's hard to support read > write, since we need better
|
|
congestion control to avoid overfull buffers there. So,
|
|
defer the whole thing.)
|
|
- don't do dns hijacking tests if we're reject *:* exit policy?
|
|
(deferred until 0.1.1.x is less common)
|
|
- Directory guards
|
|
- RAM use in directory authorities.
|
|
- Memory use improvements:
|
|
- Look into pulling serverdescs off buffers as they arrive.
|
|
- Save and mmap v1 directories, and networkstatus docs; store them
|
|
zipped, not uncompressed.
|
|
- Switch cached_router_t to use mmap.
|
|
- What to do about reference counts on windows? (On Unix, this is
|
|
easy: unlink works fine. (Right?) On Windows, I have doubts. Do we
|
|
need to keep multiple files?)
|
|
- What do we do about the fact that people can't read zlib-
|
|
compressed files manually?
|
|
|
|
- If the client's clock is too far in the past, it will drop (or
|
|
just not try to get) descriptors, so it'll never build circuits.
|
|
- Tolerate clock skew on bridge relays.
|
|
|
|
X Eventdns improvements
|
|
X Have a way to query for AAAA and A records simultaneously.
|
|
X Improve request API: At the very least, add the ability to construct
|
|
a more-or-less arbitrary request and get a response.
|
|
X (Can we suppress cnames? Should we?)
|
|
|
|
- Now that we're avoiding exits when picking non-exit positions,
|
|
we need to consider how to pick nodes for internal circuits. If
|
|
we avoid exits for all positions, we skew the load balancing. If
|
|
we accept exits for all positions, we leak whether it's an internal
|
|
circuit at every step. If we accept exits only at the last hop, we
|
|
reintroduce Lasse's attacks from the Oakland paper.
|
|
|
|
- We should ship with a list of stable dir mirrors -- they're not
|
|
trusted like the authorities, but they'll provide more robustness
|
|
and diversity for bootstrapping clients.
|
|
|
|
- A way to adjust router flags from the controller.
|
|
(How do we prevent the authority from clobbering them soon after?)
|
|
|
|
- Better estimates in the directory of whether servers have good uptime
|
|
(high expected time to failure) or good guard qualities (high
|
|
fractional uptime).
|
|
- AKA Track uptime as %-of-time-up, as well as time-since-last-down
|
|
|
|
- Have a "Faster" status flag that means it. Fast2, Fast4, Fast8?
|
|
- spec
|
|
- implement
|
|
|
|
- Windows server usability
|
|
- Solve the ENOBUFS problem.
|
|
- make tor's use of openssl operate on buffers rather than sockets,
|
|
so we can make use of libevent's buffer paradigm once it has one.
|
|
- make tor's use of libevent tolerate either the socket or the
|
|
buffer paradigm; includes unifying the functions in connect.c.
|
|
- We need a getrlimit equivalent on Windows so we can reserve some
|
|
file descriptors for saving files, etc. Otherwise we'll trigger
|
|
asserts when we're out of file descriptors and crash.
|
|
M - rewrite how libevent does select() on win32 so it's not so very slow.
|
|
- Add overlapped IO
|
|
|
|
- Add an option (related to AvoidDiskWrites) to disable directory caching.
|
|
|
|
- Finish status event implementation and accompanying getinfos
|
|
- Missing events:
|
|
- DIR_REACHABLE
|
|
- BAD_DIR_RESPONSE (Unexpected directory response; maybe we're behind
|
|
a firewall.)
|
|
- BAD_PROXY (Bad http or https proxy)
|
|
- UNRECOGNIZED_ROUTER (a nickname we asked for is unavailable)
|
|
- Status events related to hibernation
|
|
- something about failing to parse our address?
|
|
from resolve_my_address() in config.c
|
|
- sketchy OS, sketchy threading
|
|
- too many onions queued: threading problems or slow CPU?
|
|
- Missing fields:
|
|
- TIMEOUT on CHECKING_REACHABILITY
|
|
- GETINFO status/client, status/server, status/general: There should be
|
|
some way to learn which status events are currently "in effect."
|
|
We should specify which these are, what format they appear in, and so
|
|
on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Minor items for 0.1.2.x as time permits:
|
|
- include bandwidth breakdown by conn->type in BW events.
|
|
o Unify autoconf search code for libevent and openssl. Make code
|
|
suggest platform-appropriate "devel" / "dev" / whatever packages
|
|
if we can link but we can't find the headers.
|
|
- Recommend polipo? Please?
|
|
- Make documentation realize that location of system configuration file
|
|
will depend on location of system defaults, and isn't always /etc/torrc.
|
|
- Review torrc.sample to make it more discursive.
|
|
- a way to generate the website diagrams from source, so we can
|
|
translate them as utf-8 text rather than with gimp.
|
|
R - add d64 and fp64 along-side d and fp so people can paste status
|
|
entries into a url. since + is a valid base64 char, only allow one
|
|
at a time. spec and then do.
|
|
o When we export something from foo.c file for testing purposes only,
|
|
make a foo_test.h file for test.c to include... or put them behind an
|
|
#ifdef FOO_PRIVATE.
|
|
- The Debian package now uses --verify-config when (re)starting,
|
|
to distinguish configuration errors from other errors. Perhaps
|
|
the RPM and other startup scripts should too?
|
|
- add a "default.action" file to the tor/vidalia bundle so we can fix the
|
|
https thing in the default configuration:
|
|
http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#PrivoxyWeirdSSLPort
|
|
. Flesh out options_description array in src/or/config.c
|
|
X If we try to publish as a nickname that's already claimed, should
|
|
we append a number (or increment the number) and try again? This
|
|
way people who read their logs can fix it as before, but people
|
|
who don't read their logs will still offer Tor servers.
|
|
- Fall back to unnamed; warn user; send controller event. ("When we
|
|
notice a 'Rejected: There is already a named server with this nickname'
|
|
message... or maybe instead when we see in the networkstatuses that
|
|
somebody else is Named with the name we want: warn the user, send a
|
|
STATUS_SERVER message, and fall back to unnamed.")

|
- Rate limit exit connections to a given destination -- this helps
|
|
us play nice with websites when Tor users want to crawl them; it
|
|
also introduces DoS opportunities.
|
|
- Christian Grothoff's attack of infinite-length circuit.
|
|
the solution is to have a separate 'extend-data' cell type
|
|
which is used for the first N data cells, and only
|
|
extend-data cells can be extend requests.
|
|
. Specify, including thought about anonymity implications. [proposal 110]
|
|
- Display the reasons in 'destroy' and 'truncated' cells under some
|
|
circumstances?
|
|
- If the server is spewing complaints about raising your ulimit -n,
|
|
we should add a note about this to the server descriptor so other
|
|
people can notice too.
|
|
- cpu fixes:
|
|
- see if we should make use of truncate to retry
|
|
. Directory changes
|
|
. Some back-out mechanism for auto-approval
|
|
- a way of rolling back approvals to before a timestamp
|
|
- Consider minion-like fingerprint file/log combination.
|
|
- packaging and ui stuff:
|
|
. multiple sample torrc files
|
|
. figure out how to make nt service stuff work?
|
|
. Document it.
|
|
- Vet all pending installer patches
|
|
- Win32 installer plus privoxy, sockscap/freecap, etc.
|
|
- Vet win32 systray helper code
|
|
(2007-04-15 phobos, do we still need these installer patches?)
|
|
|
|
- Improve controller
|
|
- a NEWSTATUS event similar to NEWDESC.
|
|
- change circuit status events to give more details, like purpose,
|
|
whether they're internal, when they become dirty, when they become
|
|
too dirty for further circuits, etc.
|
|
- What do we want here, exactly?
|
|
- Specify and implement it.
|
|
- Change stream status events analogously.
|
|
- What do we want here, exactly?
|
|
- Specify and implement it.
|
|
- Make other events "better".
|
|
- Change stream status events analogously.

|
|
. Expose more information via getinfo:
|
|
- import and export rendezvous descriptors
|
|
- Review all static fields for additional candidates
|
|
- Allow EXTENDCIRCUIT to unknown server.
|
|
- We need some way to adjust server status, and to tell tor not to
|
|
download directories/network-status, and a way to force a download.
|
|
- Make everything work with hidden services
|
|
|
|
|
|
Future version:
|
|
- servers might check certs for known-good ssl websites, and if they
|
|
come back self-signed, declare themselves to be non-exits. similar
|
|
to how we test for broken/evil dns now.
|
|
- we try to build 4 test circuits to break them over different
|
|
servers. but sometimes our entry node is the same for multiple
|
|
test circuits. this defeats the point.
|
|
- when we hit a funny error from a dir request (eg 403 forbidden),
|
|
but tor is working and happy otherwise, and we haven't seen many
|
|
such errors recently, then don't warn about it.
|
|
- More consistent error checking in router_parse_entry_from_string().
|
|
I can say "banana" as my bandwidthcapacity, and it won't even squeak.
|
|
o Include the output of svn info in the binary, so it's trivial to see what
|
|
version a binary was built from.
|
|
o Do the same for svk info.
|
|
- Add a doxygen style checker to make check-spaces so nick doesn't drift
|
|
too far from arma's undocumented styleguide. Also, document that
|
|
styleguide in HACKING. (See r9634 for example.)
|
|
- exactly one space at beginning and at end of comments, except i
|
|
guess when there's line-length pressure.
|
|
- if we refer to a function name, put a () after it.
|
|
- only write <b>foo</b> when foo is an argument to this function.
|
|
- doxygen comments must always end in some form of punctuation.
|
|
- capitalize the first sentence in the doxygen comment, except
|
|
when you shouldn't.
|
|
- avoid spelling errors and incorrect comments. ;)
|
|
- Should TrackHostExits expire TrackHostExitsExpire seconds after their
|
|
*last* use, not their *first* use?
|
|
X Configuration format really wants sections.
|
|
. Good RBL substitute.
|
|
- Play with the implementations; link them from somewhere; add a
|
|
round-robin link from torel.torproject.org; describe how to
|
|
use them in the FAQ.
|
|
- Authorities should try using exits for http to connect to some URLS
|
|
(specified in a configuration file, so as not to make the List Of Things
|
|
Not To Censor completely obvious) and ask them for results. Exits that
|
|
don't give good answers should have the BadExit flag set.
|
|
- Our current approach to block attempts to use Tor as a single-hop proxy
|
|
is pretty lame; we should get a better one.
|
|
. Update the hidden service stuff for the new dir approach.
|
|
- switch to an ascii format, maybe sexpr?
|
|
- authdirservers publish blobs of them.
|
|
- other authdirservers fetch these blobs.
|
|
- hidserv people have the option of not uploading their blobs.
|
|
- you can insert a blob via the controller.
|
|
- and there's some amount of backwards compatibility.
|
|
- teach clients, intro points, and hidservs about auth mechanisms.
|
|
- come up with a few more auth mechanisms.
|
|
- auth mechanisms to let hidden service midpoint and responder filter
|
|
connection requests.
|
|
- Bind to random port when making outgoing connections to Tor servers,
|
|
to reduce remote sniping attacks.
|
|
- Have new people be in limbo and need to demonstrate usefulness
|
|
before we approve them.
|
|
- Clients should estimate their skew as median of skew from servers
|
|
over last N seconds.
|
|
- Make router_is_general_exit() a bit smarter once we're sure what it's for.
|
|
- Audit everything to make sure rend and intro points are just as likely to
|
|
be us as not.
|
|
- Do something to prevent spurious EXTEND cells from making middleman
|
|
nodes connect all over. Rate-limit failed connections, perhaps?
|
|
- Automatically determine what ports are reachable and start using
|
|
those, if circuits aren't working and it's a pattern we recognize
|
|
("port 443 worked once and port 9001 keeps not working").
|
|
- Limit to 2 dir, 2 OR, N SOCKS connections per IP.
|
|
- Handle full buffers without totally borking
|
|
- Rate-limit OR and directory connections overall and per-IP and
|
|
maybe per subnet.
|
|
- Hold-open-until-flushed now works by accident; it should work by
|
|
design.
|
|
- DoS protection: TLS puzzles, public key ops, bandwidth exhaustion.
|
|
- Specify?
|
|
o tor-resolve script should use socks5 to get better error messages.
|
|
- hidserv offerers shouldn't need to define a SocksPort
|
|
* figure out what breaks for this, and do it.
|
|
- tor should be able to have a pool of outgoing IP addresses
|
|
that it is able to rotate through. (maybe)
|
|
- Specify; implement.
|
|
- let each hidden service (or other thing) specify its own
|
|
OutboundBindAddress?
|
|
|
|
Blue-sky:
|
|
- Patch privoxy and socks protocol to pass strings to the browser.
|
|
- Standby/hotswap/redundant hidden services.
|
|
- Robust decentralized storage for hidden service descriptors.
|
|
- The "China problem"
|
|
- Allow small cells and large cells on the same network?
|
|
- Cell buffering and resending. This will allow us to handle broken
|
|
circuits as long as the endpoints don't break, plus will allow
|
|
connection (tls session key) rotation.
|
|
- Implement Morphmix, so we can compare its behavior, complexity, etc.
|
|
- Other transport. HTTP, udp, rdp, airhook, etc. May have to do our own
|
|
link crypto, unless we can bully openssl into it.
|
|
- Need a relay teardown cell, separate from one-way ends.
|
|
(Pending a user who needs this)
|
|
- Handle half-open connections: right now we don't support all TCP
|
|
streams, at least according to the protocol. But we handle all that
|
|
we've seen in the wild.
|
|
(Pending a user who needs this)
|
|
|
|
Non-Coding:
|
|
- Mark up spec; note unclear points about servers
|
|
- Mention controller libs someplace.
|
|
. more pictures from ren. he wants to describe the tor handshake
|
|
NR- write a spec appendix for 'being nice with tor'
|
|
- tor-in-the-media page
|
|
- Remove need for HACKING file.
|
|
- Figure out licenses for website material.
|
|
- Specify the keys and key rotation schedules and stuff
|
|
P - document http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TransparentProxy on freebsd and osx
|
|
P - figure out why x86_64 won't build rpms from tor.spec
|
|
P - figure out spec files for bundles of vidalia-tor-polipo
|
|
P - figure out polipo install scripts for bundles of vidalia-tor-polipo on osx, win32
|
|
P - evaluate https://sourceforge.net/projects/kleanup/
|
|
P - evaluate TorK
|
|
P - figure out selinux policy for tor
|
|
P - change packaging system to more automated and specific for each
|
|
platform, suggested by Paul Wouter
|

|
Website:
|
|
- and remove home and make the "Tor" picture be the link to home.
|
|
- put the logo on the website, in source form, so people can put it on
|
|
stickers directly, etc.
|
|
- put the source image for the stickers on the website, so people can
|
|
print their own
|
|
R - make a page with the hidden service diagrams.
|
|
- ask Jan to be the translation coordinator? add to volunteer page.
|
|
- add a page for localizing all tor's components.
|
|
- It would be neat if we had a single place that described _all_ the
|
|
tor-related tools you can use, and what they give you, and how well they
|
|
work. Right now, we don't give a lot of guidance wrt
|
|
torbutton/foxproxy/privoxy/polipo in any consistent place.
