TODO.external is the list of external constraints and deliverables that

External constraints:
|
||||
|
||||
For June/July:
|
||||
NR - Work more on Paul's NRL research problem.
|
||||
|
||||
For March 22:
|
||||
I * Email auto-responder
|
||||
* teach gettor how to ask for (and attach) split files.
|
||||
|
||||
K . Metrics.
|
||||
. With Mike's help, use Torflow to start doing monthly rudimentary
|
||||
performance evaluations:
|
||||
. Circuit throughput and latency
|
||||
- Measure via Broadband and dialup
|
||||
. Publish a report addressing key long-term metrics questions:
|
||||
. What metrics should we present?
|
||||
. What data are available for these metrics?
|
||||
. What data are missing, and can collect them safely? Can we
|
||||
publish them safely?
|
||||
. What systems are available to present this data?
|
||||
|
||||
E . Vidalia improvements
|
||||
o Vidalia displays by-country user summary for bridge operators
|
||||
? - write a help page for vidalia, "what is this"
|
||||
|
||||
For mid August:
|
||||
|
||||
Section 0, items that didn't make it into the original roadmap:
|
||||
|
||||
0.1, installers and packaging
|
||||
C . i18n for the msi bundle files
|
||||
P . more consistent TBB builds
|
||||
IC- get a buildbot up again. Have Linux and BSD build machines.
|
||||
(Windows would be nice but realistically will come later.)
|
||||
E - Get Tor to work properly on the iPhone.
|
||||
|
||||
3.1, performance work. [Section numbers in here are from performance.pdf]
|
||||
- High-priority items from performance.pdf
|
||||
RS - 1.2, new circuit window sizes. make the default package window lower.
|
||||
R+ - 2.1, squeeze loud circuits
|
||||
- Evaluate the code to see what stats we can keep about circuit use.
|
||||
- Write proposals for various meddling. Look at the research papers
|
||||
that Juliusz pointed us to. Ask our systems friends. Plan to put
|
||||
a lot of the parameters in the consensus, so we can tune it with
|
||||
short turnaround times.
|
||||
E+ - 2.5, Change Vidalia's default exit policy to not click "other
|
||||
protocols". Or choose not to. Think this through first.
|
||||
R+ - 2.6, Tell users not to file-share.
|
||||
- Put statement on the Tor front page
|
||||
- Put statement on the download pages too
|
||||
- And the FAQ
|
||||
- 3.1.2, Tor weather
|
||||
I - Implement time-to-notification (immediate, a day, a week)
|
||||
I - Get a relay operator mailing list going, with a plan and supporting
|
||||
scripts and so on.
|
||||
R - Link to them from the Tor relay page
|
||||
R - and the torrc.sample?
|
||||
SM - 4.1, balance traffic better
|
||||
- Steven and Mike should decide if we should do Steven's plan
|
||||
(rejigger the bandwidth numbers at the authorities based on
|
||||
Steven's algorithm), or Mike's plan (relay scanning to identify
|
||||
the unbalanced relays and fix them on the fly), or both.
|
||||
- Implement Proposal 160
|
||||
o 4.5, Older entry guards are overloaded
|
||||
o Pick a conservative timeout like a month, and implement.
|
||||
M - 5.2, better timeouts for giving up on circuits/streams
|
||||
- clients gather data about circuit timeouts, and then abandon
|
||||
circuits that take more than a std dev above that.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1, IOCP / libevent / windows / tor
|
||||
N - get it working for nick
|
||||
N - put out a release so other people can start testing it.
|
||||
N - both the libevent buffer abstraction, and the
|
||||
tor-uses-libevent-buffer-abstraction. Unless we think that's
|
||||
unreachable for this milestone?
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.1, risks from becoming a relay
|
||||
S - Have a clear plan for how users who become relays will be safe,
|
||||
and be confident that we can build this plan.
|
||||
- evaluate all the various attacks that are made possible by relaying.
|
||||
specifically, see "relaying-traffic attacks" in 6.6.
|
||||
- identify and evaluate ways to make them not a big deal
|
||||
- setting a low RelayBandwidth
|
||||
- Nick Hopper's FC08 paper suggesting that we should do a modified
|
||||
round-robin so we leak less about other circuits
|
||||
- instructing clients to disable pings in their firewall, etc
|
||||
- pick the promising ones, improve them so they're even better, and
|
||||
spec them out so we know how to build them and how much effort is
|
||||
involved in building them.
|
||||
|
||||
4.5, clients download less directory info
|
||||
N * deploy proposal 158.
|
||||
N - decide whether to do proposal 140. if so, construct an implementation
|
||||
plan for how we'll do it. if not, explain why not.
|
||||
|
||||
5.1, Normalize TLS fingerprint
|
||||
N o write a draft list of possible attacks for this section, with
|
||||
estimates about difficulty of attack, difficulty of solution, etc
|
||||
N - revisit the list and revise our plans as needed
|
||||
NR- put up a blog post about the two contradictory conclusions: we can
|
||||
discuss the theory of arms races, and our quandry, without revealing
|
||||
any specific vulnerabilities. (or decide not to put up a blog post,
|
||||
and explain why not.)
|
||||
|
||||
5.5, email autoresponder
|
||||
I . maintenance and keeping it running
|
||||
|
||||
5.7.2, metrics
|
||||
|
||||
XXX.
|
||||
|
||||
6.2, Vidalia work
|
||||
E - add breakpad support or similar for windows debugging
|
||||
E o let vidalia change languages without needing a restart
|
||||
E - Implement the status warning event interface started for the
|
||||
phase one deliverables.
|
||||
E - Work with Steve Tyree on building a Vidalia plugin API to enable
|
||||
building Herdict and TBB plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
6.3, Node scanning
|
||||
M - Steps toward automation
|
||||
- Set up email list for results
|
||||
- Map failure types to potential BadExit lines
|
||||
M - Improve the ability of SoaT to mimic various real web browsers
|
||||
- randomizing user agents and locale strings
|
||||
- caching, XMLHTTPRequest, form posting, content sniffing
|
||||
- Investigate ideas like running Chrome/xulrunner in parallel
|
||||
M - Other protocols
|
||||
- SSH, IMAPS, POPS, SMTPS
|
||||
M - Add ability to geolocalize exit selection based on scanner location
|
||||
- Use this to rescan dynamic urls filtered by the URL filter
|
||||
|
||||
6.4, Torbutton development
|
||||
M - Resolve extension conflicts and other high priority bugs
|
||||
M - Fix or hack around ugly firefox bugs, especially Timezone issue.
|
||||
Definitely leaning towards "hack around" unless we see some
|
||||
level of love from Mozilla.
|
||||
M - Vidalia New Nym Integration
|
||||
- Implement for Torbutton to pick up on Vidalia's NEWNYM and clear
|
||||
cookies based on FoeBud's source
|
||||
- Do this in such a way that we could adapt polipo to purge cache
|
||||
if we were so inclined
|
||||
M - Write up a summary of our options for dealing with the google
|
||||
you-must-solve-a-captcha-to-search problem, and pick one as our
|
||||
favorite option.
|
||||
|
||||
6.6, Evaluate new anonymity attacks
|
||||
S - relaying-traffic attacks
|
||||
- original murdoch-danezis attack
|
||||
- nick hopper's latency measurement attack
|
||||
- columbia bandwidth measurement attack
|
||||
- christian grothoff's long-circuit attack
|
||||
S - client attacks
|
||||
- website fingerprinting
|
||||
|
||||
7.1, Tor VM Research, analysis, and prototyping
|
||||
C . Get a working package out, meaning other people are testing it.
|
||||
|
||||
7.2, Tor Browser Bundle
|
||||
I - Port to one of OS X or Linux, and start the port to the other.
|
||||
I . Make it the recommended Tor download on Windows
|
||||
I - Make sure it's easy to un-brand TBB in case Firefox asks us to
|
||||
I - Evaluate CCC's Freedom Stick
