D Deferred
|

|
|
|
|
Non-Coding, Soon:
|
|
N - Mark up spec; note unclear points about servers
|
|
N - Mention controller libs someplace.
|
|
D FAQ entry: why gnutls is bad/not good for tor
|
|
P - flesh out the rest of the section 6 of the faq
|
|
P - gather pointers to livecd distros that include tor
|
|
R . more pictures from ren. he wants to describe the tor handshake, i want to
|
|
talk about hidden services.
|
|
NR- write a spec appendix for 'being nice with tor'
|
|
- tor-in-the-media page
|
|
- Remove need for HACKING file.
|
|
|
|
Website:
|
|
- we need to merge documentation and support
|
|
- and pare it down
|
|
- and merge developers into documentation too
|
|
- or at least, remove developers from the title bar
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
for 0.1.1.x:
|
|
- add TestSocks config option to man page
|
|
- when logging unknown http headers, this could include bad escape codes?
|
|
- more generally, attacker-controller log entries with newlines in them
|
|
are dangerous for our users.
|
|
- add os x uninstaller from or-talk.
|
|
- make log entries include function names in win32 again.
|
|
- Mysterious crash for fast servers: Bug 234.
|
|
- Make "setconf" and "hup" behavior cleaner for LINELIST config
|
|
options (e.g. Log). Bug 238.
|
|
- Were we going to load unrecognized 'state' variables into some
|
|
list somewhere, and write them out whenever we update the state?
|
|
To be forwards and backwards compatible.
|
|
R - our round-robin reading is not very fair when we have few tokens
|
|
left in our bucket. be more fair?
|
|
R - streamline how we define a guard node as 'up'. document it
|
|
somewhere.
|
|
R - reduce log severity for guard nodes.
|
|
R - make guard node timeout higher.
|
|
R - We should do address rewriting after the controller sends us an
|
|
"attachstream 0": Bug 225.
|
|
R - failed rend desc fetches sometimes don't get retried.
|
|
R - Add config options to not publish and not fetch rend descs.
|
|
- Add controller interfaces to hear rend desc events and learn
|
|
about rend descs. In base16 I guess for now.
|
|
|
|
N - In circuit_get_open_circ_or_launch(),
|
|
/* XXXX011 NM This should be a generic "retry all directory fetches". */
|
|
|
|
N - if they're trying to be a tor server and they're running
|
|
win 98 or win me, tell them that they'll likely crash.
|
|
|
|
N - Display the reasons in 'destroy' and 'truncated' cells under some
|
|
circumstances?
|
|
|
|
R - 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
|
|
- Implement
|
|
|
|
R - When we connect to a Tor server, it sends back a signed cell listing
|
|
the IP it believes it is using. Use this to block dvorak's attack.
|
|
Also, this is a fine time to say what time you think it is.
|
|
- Verify that a new cell type is okay with deployed codebase
|
|
- Specify
|
|
- Implement
|
|
|
|
- find 10 dirservers.
|
|
- Make it no longer default for v2 dirservers to support v1.
|
|
- non-versioning dirservers don't need to set recommended*versions.
|
|
- non-naming dirservers don't need to have an approved-routers file.
|
|
- What are criteria to be a dirserver? Write a policy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deferred from 0.1.1.x:
|
|
|
|
- the tor client can do the "automatic proxy config url" thing?
|
|
|
|
R - clients prefer to avoid exit nodes for non-exit path positions.
|
|
|
|
- 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").
|
|
|
|
N - Should router info have a pointer to routerstatus?
|
|
- We should at least do something about the duplicated fields.
|
|
|
|
N . Additional controller features
|
|
- 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.
|
|
R - What do we want here, exactly?
|
|
N - Specify and implement it.
|
|
- Change stream status events analogously.
|
|
R - What do we want here, exactly?
|
|
N - Specify and implement it.
|
|
- Make other events "better".
|
|
- Change stream status events analogously.
|
|
R - What do we want here, exactly?
|
|
N - Specify and implement it.
|
|
- Make other events "better" analogously
|
|
R - What do we want here, exactly?
|
|
N - Specify and implement it.
|
|
. 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.
|
|
- It would be nice to request address lookups from the controller
|
|
without using SOCKS.
|
|
- Make everything work with hidden services
|
|
|
|
X switch accountingmax to count total in+out, not either in or
|
|
out. it's easy to move in this direction (not risky), but hard to
|
|
back out if we decide we prefer it the way it already is. hm.
|
|
|
|
- cpu fixes:
|
|
- see if we should make use of truncate to retry
|
|
R - kill dns workers more slowly
|
|
|
|
. 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.
|
|
|
|
- config option to publish what ports you listen on, beyond
|
|
ORPort/DirPort. It should support ranges and bit prefixes (?) too.
|
|
- Parse this.
|
|
- Relay this in networkstatus.
|
|
|
|
- Non-directories don't need to keep descriptors in memory.
|
|
o Make descriptor-fetching happen via an indirection function.
|
|
- Remember file and offset.
|
|
- Keep a journal FD for appending router descriptors.
|
|
|
|
- packaging and ui stuff:
|
|
. multiple sample torrc files
|
|
- uninstallers
|
|
. for os x
|
|
. figure out how to make nt service stuff work?
|
|
. Document it.
|
|
. Add version number to directory.
|
|
N - Vet all pending installer patches
|
|
- Win32 installer plus privoxy, sockscap/freecap, etc.
|
|
- Vet win32 systray helper code
|
|
|
|
- document:
|
|
- torcp needs more attention in the tor-doc-win32.
|
|
- recommend gaim.
|
|
- unrecommend IE because of ftp:// bug.
|
|
- torrc.complete.in needs attention?
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- Security
|
|
- Alices avoid duplicate class C nodes.
|
|
- Analyze how bad the partitioning is or isn't.
|
|
|
|
. 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.
|
|
|
|
. Come up with a coherent strategy for bandwidth buckets and TLS. (The
|
|
logic for reading from TLS sockets is likely to overrun the bandwidth
|
|
buckets under heavy load. (Really, the logic was never right in the
|
|
first place.) Also, we should audit all users of get_pending_bytes().)
|
|
- Make it harder to circumvent bandwidth caps: look at number of bytes
|
|
sent across sockets, not number sent inside TLS stream.
|
|
|
|
- Make router_is_general_exit() a bit smarter once we're sure what it's for.
|
|
|
|
- Directory "helper".
|
|
|
|
- rewrite how libevent does select() on win32 so it's not so very slow.
|
|
- Write limiting; separate token bucket for write
|
|
- 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?
|
|
|
|
Future version:
|
|
- 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?
|
|
- tor-resolve script should use socks5 to get better error messages.
|
|
- make min uptime a function of the available choices (say, choose 60th
|
|
percentile, not 1 day.)
|
|
- Track uptime as %-of-time-up, as well as time-since-last-down.
|
|
- hidserv offerers shouldn't need to define a SocksPort
|
|
* figure out what breaks for this, and do it.
|
|
- auth mechanisms to let hidden service midpoint and responder filter
|
|
connection requests.
|
|
- Relax clique assumptions.
|
|
X start handling server descriptors without a socksport?
|
|
- tor should be able to have a pool of outgoing IP addresses
|
|
that it is able to rotate through. (maybe)
|
|
|
|
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.
