For September:
- Windows port
- works as client
- deal with pollhup / reached_eof on all platforms
- robust as a client
- works as server
- can be configured
- robust as a server
- docs for building in win
- installer?
- Docs
- FAQ
- overview of tor. how does it work, what's it do, pros and
cons of using it, why should I use it, etc.
- a howto tutorial with examples
- tutorial: how to set up your own tor network
- (need to not hardcore dirservers file in config.c)
- correct, update, polish spec
- document the exposed function api?
- document what we mean by socks.
- packages
- rpm
- find a long-term rpm maintainer
- code
- better warn/info messages
- let tor do resolves.
- extend socks4 to do resolves?
- make script to ask tor for resolves
- tsocks
- gather patches, submit to maintainer
- intercept gethostbyname and others, do resolve via tor
- redesign and thorough code revamp, with particular eye toward:
- support half-open tcp connections
- conn key rotation
- other transports -- http, airhook
- modular introduction mechanism
- allow non-clique topology
2004-05-02 04:55:29 +02:00
Other details and small and hard things:
- tor should be able to have a pool of outgoing IP addresses
that it is able to rotate through. (maybe)
- tie into squid
- buffer size pool, to let a few buffers grow huge or many buffers
grow a bit
- hidserv offerers shouldn't need to define a SocksPort
- when the client fails to pick an intro point for a hidserv,
it should refetch the hidserv desc.
2004-03-27 06:52:55 +01:00
. should maybe make clients exit(1) when bad things happen?
e.g. clock skew.
2004-04-15 05:54:33 +02:00
- should retry exitpolicy end streams even if the end cell didn't
resolve the address for you
- Add '[...truncated]' or similar to truncated log entries (like the directory
in connection_dir_process_inbuf()).
2004-03-27 06:52:55 +01:00
. Make logs handle it better when writing to them fails.
2004-04-22 05:50:42 +02:00
- Dirserver shouldn't put you in running-routers list if you haven't
uploaded a descriptor recently
2004-04-22 05:50:42 +02:00
. Refactor: add own routerinfo to routerlist. Right now, only
router_get_by_nickname knows about 'this router', as a hack to
get circuit_launch_new to do the right thing.
Rendezvous service:
2004-04-11 00:13:37 +02:00
- preemptively build and start rendezvous circs
- preemptively build n-1 hops of intro circs?
- cannibalize general circs?
- fix router_get_by_* functions so they can get ourselves too,
and audit everything to make sure rend and intro points are
just as likely to be us as not.
2004-04-22 05:50:42 +02:00
In the distant future:
. Scrubbing proxies
- Find an smtp proxy?
. Get socks4a support into Mozilla
2004-04-22 05:50:42 +02:00
- migrate to using IPv6 sizes everywhere
- handle half-open tcp conns
- Extend by nickname/hostname/something, not by IP.
- Need a relay teardown cell, separate from one-way ends.
- Make it harder to circumvent bandwidth caps: look at number of bytes
sent across sockets, not number sent inside TLS stream.
- Look at having smallcells and largecells
