The defense counts the circuit failure rate for each guard for the past N
circuits. Failure is defined as the ability to complete a first hop, but not
finish completing the circuit all the way to the exit.
If the failure rate exceeds a certain amount, a notice is emitted.
If it exceeds a greater amount, a warn is emitted and the guard is disabled.
These values are governed by consensus parameters which we intend to tune as
we perform experiments and statistical simulations.
The warning message of validate_pluggable_transports_config() is
superseded by the changes in the warning message of
connection_or_connect() when the proxy credentials can't be found.
Also, try to resolve some doxygen issues. First, define a magic
"This is doxygen!" macro so that we take the correct branch in
various #if/#else/#endifs in order to get the right documentation.
Second, add in a few grouping @{ and @} entries in order to get some
variables and fields to get grouped together.
Previously, we only did this check at startup, which could lead to
us holding a guard indefinitely, and give weird results. Fixes bug
5380; bugfix on 0.2.1.14-rc.

Previously the client would ask the bridge for microdescriptors, which are
only supported in 0.2.3.x and later, and then fail to bootstrap when it
didn't get the answers it wanted. Fixes bug 4013; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
The fix here is to revert to using normal descriptors if any of our
bridges are known to not support microdescs. This is not ideal, a) because
we'll start downloading a microdesc consensus as soon as we get a bridge
descriptor, and that will waste time if we later get a bridge descriptor
that tells us we don't like microdescriptors; and b) by changing our mind
we're leaking to our other bridges that we have an old-version bridge.
The alternate fix would have been to change
we_use_microdescriptors_for_circuits() to ask if *any* of our bridges
can support microdescriptors, and then change the directory logic that
picks a bridge to only select from those that do. For people living in
the future, where 0.2.2.x is obsolete, there won't be a difference.
Note that in either of these potential fixes, we have risk of oscillation
if our one funny-looking bridges goes away / comes back.
These were found by looking for tor_snprintf() instances that were
preceeded closely by tor_malloc(), though I probably converted some
more snprintfs as well.
(In every case, make sure that the length variable (if any) is
removed, renamed, or lowered, so that anything else that might have
assumed a longer buffer doesn't exist.)

(To ensure correctness, in every case, make sure that the temporary
variable is deleted, renamed, or lowered in scope, so we can't have
any bugs related to accidentally relying on the no-longer-filled
variable.)
Don't touch the string representation in routerinfo_t->address.
Also, set or clear the routerinfo_t->ipv6_preferred flag based on the
address family of the bridge.
Comments below focus on changes, see diff for added code.
New type tor_addr_port_t holding an IP address and a TCP/UDP port.
New flag in routerinfo_t, ipv6_preferred. This should go in the
node_t instead but not now.
Replace node_get_addr() with
- node_get_prim_addr() for primary address, i.e. IPv4 for now
- node_get_pref_addr() for preferred address, IPv4 or IPv6.
Rename node_get_addr_ipv4h() node_get_prim_addr_ipv4h() for
consistency. The primary address will not allways be an IPv4 address.
Same for node_get_orport() -> node_get_prim_orport().
Rewrite node_is_a_configured_bridge() to take all OR ports into account.
Extend argument list to extend_info_from_node and
extend_info_from_router with a flag indicating if we want to use the
routers primary address or the preferred address. Use the preferred
address in as few situtations as possible for allowing clients to
connect to bridges over IPv6.
we don't need to check whether we don't have enough guards right after
concluding that we do have enough.
slight efficiency fix suggested by an anonymous fellow on irc.
With managed proxies you would always get the error message:
"You have a Bridge line using the X pluggable transport, but there
doesn't seem to be a corresponding ClientTransportPlugin line."
because the check happened directly after parse_client_transport_line()
when managed proxies were not fully configured and their transports
were not registered.
The fix is to move the validation to run_scheduled_events() and make
sure that all managed proxies are configured first.
