China, Egypt, Iran, Venezuela, Ethiopia, Turkey, and a few other countries now block the Tor network. - - -## Join Our Community ## - -Getting involved with Tor is easy: you can help us make the network faster and more decentralized by running a relay. -https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide - -You can learn about each of our teams and start collaborating: -https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/WikiStart#Teams - -If you want to make a contribution but don’t have the time to volunteer, your donation will help keep Tor fast, strong, and secure: -https://donate.torproject.org - --- - -The Tor Project is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit organization advancing human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open-source anonymity and privacy technologies, supporting their unrestricted availability and use, and furthering their scientific and popular understanding. - -Twitter: https://twitter.com/torproject -Facebook: https://facebook.com/torproject diff --git a/content/archive/newbie-reflections-mozilla-match-events/contents+en.lr b/content/archive/newbie-reflections-mozilla-match-events/contents+en.lr deleted file mode 100644 index 5a3398e..0000000 --- a/content/archive/newbie-reflections-mozilla-match-events/contents+en.lr +++ /dev/null @@ -1,161 +0,0 @@ -_model: post ---- -_template: newsletter.html ---- -author: steph@torproject.org ---- -pub_date: 2018-10-31 ---- -title: Newbie Reflections, Mozilla's Match, Events ---- -html_body: - -<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="devicewidth" width="650"> - <tbody> - <tr> - <td width="100%"> - <table align="center" bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="devicewidth" width="650"> - <tbody><!-- /Spacing --><!-- Spacing --> - <tr> - <td height="15" style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;" width="100%"> </td> - </tr> - <!-- /Spacing --><!-- content --> - <tr> - <td style="padding:0 15px 15px 15px;"> - <hr /> - <h1><span class="quickedit-field" data-quickedit-field-id="node/1578/title/en/full" property="schema:name">Reflections From A Tor Meeting Newbie </span></h1> - - <p><span class="quickedit-field" data-quickedit-field-id="node/1578/title/en/full" property="schema:name"><a href="https://blog.torproject.org/reflections-tor-meeting-newbie"><img alt="pic-Tor-mexico-city" src="https://blog.torproject.org/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/image/tor-project-mexico-meeting.png?itok=Nzvme7oX" style="width: 560px; height: 315px;" /></a></span></p> - - <p>When I joined the Tor Project in July as Fundraising Director, I quickly learned that most questions I had about Tor—what it does, its history, what makes up the greater ecosystem, even detailed notes from all past meetings—can be found online.

Many sessions were led in English and Spanish, including the State of the Onion address.

If opinions, analysis, or facts contrary to the country’s narrative are published, repressive governments can quickly silence those voices by blocking access to those websites. - -For instance, in September 2017, one day after Human Rights Watch released a report on systematic torture in Egypt’s jails, Egypt blocked access to the HRW website, curtailing its people’s access to the report and leaving them uninformed about their own countries treatment of its citizens. Egypt has also blocked numerous news sites, including Al Jazeera, so when AJ reported on Egypt’s block of HRW after the report on torture was released, the most critical audience, the Egyptian people, were less likely to be reached. - -Publishing a website using onion services over the Tor network is a way to circumvent many state-led methods of censorship. These website addresses end in the TLD .onion. Similar to how the https:// protocol of a website provides more security than the http:// protocol, an onion address also appears to be the same site but gives a visitor more privacy and security through end-to-end encryption and improved authentication. - -Visiting an onion address is easy. All that’s needed is Tor Browser (Tor Browser is built from Firefox and is similar to use); you visit the onion address in Tor Browser like you visit any web address. - -Here’s the onion address of torproject.org: http://expyuzz4wqqyqhjn.onion/ - -The New York Times has an onion address: https://www.nytimes3xbfgragh.onion/ - -So does ProPublica: https://www.propub3r6espa33w.onion/ - -Download Tor Browser and check them out. - -If your organization’s site is already blocked anywhere in the world, or if you are calling out injustices, sharing state-suppressed resources, or just want to provide your site and users with better privacy and security, creating an onion version of your website should be your next step. - -Alec Muffett, a security researcher and longtime member of the Tor Community, has created the Enterprise Onion Toolkit (EOTK) to make it easier for you to give a public site a corresponding onion address.

I’m looking forward to seeing Tor gain global recognition for the privacy protections and censorship circumvention it provides.”</p> - -<p>Now in a transition phase, Isabela will officially begin her position as Executive Director after she hires her replacement Project Manager and gets up to speed on the requirements of the job.

This meant that in such a client-server model, your metadata could be logged by the server, but your route to the server would be not be disclosed because it would be over Tor, and your communications would be encrypted with Off-the-Record messaging. We still thought this was a better alternative than the other products in the market, such as Pidgin, because it had safer and secure default configurations.</p> - -<p>Eleven beta releases later, we have, sadly, decided to discontinue supporting Tor Messenger. <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/sunsetting-tor-messenger">Find out why</a>.</p> - -<p>We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

She also leads Tor’s UX team in implementing critical usability improvements and is leading an overhaul of Tor’s website. - -“Isa’s contributions to Tor are too many to name here,” said Shari Steele, Tor’s current Executive Director who was brought on in 2015 to make the organization more operationally sound. “She brings global experience and perspective to privacy and censorship issues, and I could not be more confident in her ability to lead the organization into its next phase of growth and sustainability.” - -Thinking of the user first has always been a priority for Isa, and during her three years with the organization, the scope of her vision for Tor has expanded to include the health of the organization and network. “I think any person on the planet should have access to the Tor network and enjoy the privacy and security it provides,” said Isa. “That means we need a healthy and scalable network and a strong and diverse organization to support that. I’m looking forward to seeing Tor gain global recognition for the privacy protections and censorship circumvention it provides.” - -Now in a transition phase, Isabela will officially begin her position as Executive Director after she hires her replacement Project Manager and gets up to speed on the requirements of the job. Shari will continue as Executive Director until Isabela transitions and then plans to move into a consulting role through the end of the year. Shari will join the Tor Project Board of Directors beginning January 2019. - -Congratulations, Isa! :D - -Check out the post to read Isa's full bio: https://blog.torproject.org/announcing-tors-next-executive-director-isabela-... - -// Call for Talks: HotPETS 2018 // - -The Workshop on Hot Topics in Privacy Enhancing Technologies (HotPETs) fosters new ideas and spirited debates on privacy. Held in conjunction with the 18th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS), the 11th HotPETs will be held July 27, 2018 in Barcelona, Spain. - -HotPETS is calling for engaging and informative 10-15 minute talks on hot topics in privacy enhancing technologies (PETs), with each talk to be followed by a 5-10 minute question period. The nature of HotPETs' discussion-oriented format is especially suited to works in progress and new ideas that have not yet been fully formed. - -Last year there was an interesting discussion about whether a separate Tor network should be set up for safer research and another discussion around I2P. What idea, experience, lessons, or theories would you like to talk through? Find out some topics of interest and how to apply: https://blog.torproject.org/call-talks-hotpets-2018 - -// Sunsetting Tor Messenger // - -In 2015, we introduced Tor Messenger, a cross-platform chat program that aimed to be secure by default by sending all of its traffic over Tor and enforcing encrypted one-to-one conversations by bundling and using OTR (Off-the-Record) messaging. The aim was to provide a chat client that supported a wide variety of transport networks like Jabber (XMPP), IRC, Google Talk, Facebook, Twitter; had an easy-to-use graphical interface; and configured most of the security and privacy settings automatically with minimal user intervention. - -When we released the first version, we tried to clearly identify the limitations of such a product: Tor Messenger was meant for communicating over existing social networks. This meant that in such a client-server model, your metadata could be logged by the server, but your route to the server would be not be disclosed because it would be over Tor, and your communications would be encrypted with Off-the-Record messaging. We still thought this was a better alternative than the other products in the market, such as Pidgin, because it had safer and secure default configurations. - -Eleven beta releases later, we have, sadly, decided to discontinue supporting Tor Messenger. Find out why: https://blog.torproject.org/sunsetting-tor-messenger - -We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We still believe in Tor's ability to be used in a messaging app, but sadly, we don't have the resources to make it happen right now. Maybe you do? - -// New Releases // - -Tor 0.3.3.5-rc This release fixes various bugs in earlier versions of Tor, including some that could affect reliability or correctness. This is the first release candidate in the 0.3.3 series. If no new bugs or regression is found, then the first stable 0.3.3 release will be nearly identical to this one. Full changelog: https://blog.torproject.org/tor-0335-rc-released - -Tor Browser 8.0a6 This release includes newer versions of Tor (0.3.3.5-rc), OpenSSL (1.0.2o), HTTPS Everywhere (2018.4.11), and NoScript (5.1.8.5). Among other things we fixed the issue with secure cookies which were not working on http .onion pages, we made it possible to run Tor Browser without a /proc filesystem and we updated the GCC we use for building the Windows and Linux versions to 6.4.0. Full changelog: https://blog.torproject.org/tor-browser-80a6-released - -TorBirdy 0.2.4 TorBirdy is an extension for Mozilla Thunderbird that configures it to make connections over the Tor network. This release adds support for Thunderbird 58 and 59, fixes a bug in Thunderbird that leaks the installed dictionary language using the "Content-Language" header (for more information see Bug 22484), updates the Enigmail keyserver settings, and adds new translations.

When researchers work closely with the design and development of deployed systems, this not only results in better research, but also better systems. For project maintainers, research that identifies vulnerabilities, creates new solutions to existing problems, and verifies proposed designs helps improve projects and make them safer for end users.

Even UN sites were redirected. - -Also, more than 100 news websites are blocked in Egypt, including Al Jazeera, The Huffington Post Arabic, Mada Masr, Almesryoon, Daily News Egypt, Turk Press and Iran’s Alalam News. - -“The blocking of media organizations’ websites has had a severe impact on their operations, and some have even suspended their work altogether as a result of persisting censorship,” said Mohammad El Taher, director of the AFTE research unit. - -While it’s been known that Egypt has undertaken widespread censorship of websites, this is the first time a comprehensive study of the methods of censorship have been undertaken. Find out how Egypt censors: https://blog.torproject.org/egypt-internet-censorship - -// How to Do Effective and Impactful Tor Research // - -As we mentioned in our previous post about Tor research topics, Tor greatly benefits from the research community. When researchers work closely with the design and development of deployed systems, this not only results in better research, but also better systems. For project maintainers, research that identifies vulnerabilities, creates new solutions to existing problems, and verifies proposed designs helps improve projects and make them safer for end users. TLS 1.3 is one recent example of where a symbiotic research/practitioner relationship has improved the protocol's design and safety. - -However it is all too common that good research ideas don't make their way into practice. Within Tor, we have found that integrating new research findings isn't seamless or predictable, and good ideas are often lost or deemed incompatible without significantly more analysis and research. - -The purpose of this post is to discuss what good research needs to do in order to ensure it has the best chance of being adopted by Tor or any other large software project. - -We have structured this post in terms of an ordered list of goals for research. Each successive goal is more difficult to accomplish than the previous one. At the end of this post, we will look at a positive example of excellent research that successfully accomplished all of these goals and give overall takeaways. - -Find out your list of goals, in order of increasing difficulty, when conducting relevant research: https://blog.torproject.org/how-do-effective-and-impactful-tor-research - -// Open Research Topics: 2018 Edition // - -Here we update the list of open Tor research problems, to bring focus to specific areas of research that the Tor Project thinks are necessary/useful in our efforts to upgrade and improve the Tor network and associated components and software. It is organized by topic area: network performance, network security, censorship circumvention, and application research. Each topic area provides information about current and desired work and ideas.

Sandboxing creates a separate environment within your computer, so it's harder for exploits to reveal your identity. The idea is that exploits targeting Tor Browser are trapped inside the sandbox and can’t get out and mess with the rest of your computer or deanonymize you.

How can you find out how many people use the Tor network daily? How many relays make up the network? How many times has Tor Browser been downloaded in your language? In order to get to these answers from archived data, we have to continuously fetch, parse, and evaluate Tor descriptors. We do this with the Tor Metrics Library.

We have been implementing our style guidelines across platforms, and there are still many big changes to come (a redesign of our website is underway). But the Tor community and ecosystem are vast, and more than just a few people utilize Tor's style for their work. </p> - -<p>So to help guide us all in our contributions, we are proud to announce the launch of our first <a href="https://styleguide.torproject.org/">live brand style guide</a>. The live Tor Styleguide is based on Bootstrap, an open-source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS, and it's ready to integrate into your project today. As with all our work, we believe that making high-quality resources open and available to everyone makes all of our efforts more successful. <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/we-launched-live-brand-styleguide">Check it out and give us your feedback</a>. </p> - -<hr /> -<h1 dir="ltr">Volunteer Spotlight: Meejah Helps Integrate Tor into Your Code</h1> - -<p><a href="https://blog.torproject.org/volunteer-spotlight-meejah-helps-you-integrate-tor-your-code"><img alt="img-volunteer-spotlight" src="https://blog.torproject.org/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/image/volunteer-spotlight.png?itok=myR9BDU5" style="width: 560px; height: 280px;" /></a></p> - -<p>Meejah started out at Tor hacking together some basic things with Twisted, an event-based networking library for Python. This led him to <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/volunteer-spotlight-damian-johnson">Damian’s</a> Python libraries to use with Tor, which led him to develop and release txtorcon, an implementation of the control-spec for Tor using Twisted.</p> - -<p>Meejah has been involved with with programming and open-source communities for over two decades. As the internet grew in size and popularity, he watched in alarm as it became more hostile.</p> - -<p>“Seeing what I saw as a really friendly and mostly-helpful online community start to morph into a more hostile environment pushed me towards privacy/security things,” he says. And so he decided to help secure the net. <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/volunteer-spotlight-meejah-helps-you-integrate-tor-your-code">Here's what he's been up to</a>.</p> - -<hr /> -<h1>New Releases</h1> - -<p>Tor Browser 7.5.3 updates Firefox to 52.7.3esr and updates HTTPS Everywhere to 2018.3.13 (<a href="https://blog.torproject.org/tor-browser-753-released">Full changelog</a>).</p> - -<p>Tor Browser 8.0a5 updates Firefox to 52.7.3esr, updates HTTPS Everywhere, and fixes some issues in the Snowflake pluggable transport and exempting .onion domains from mixed content warnings.

Extreme capitalism, femicides, and wide spread corruption are just a few. Sadly, some of these issues are also replicated into the digital world. - -Tor offers a set of tools that can help people protect themselves and challenge some of these issues. The interception of communications, corporate surveillance, and digital threats are just around the corner. But there are yet many other communities to reach and contexts to be discovered, such as academic and technical groups. - -The Tor meetup in Santiago, along with other meetups held in the region, is a tiny step in the effort to fill this gap. Join the Tor global south mailing list to stay tuned about other meetups and activities: https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/global-south - -// Tor is a vital tool for protecting privacy and resisting repressive censorship and surveillance around the world, and you can help us make it stronger. // - -Mozilla is generously matching every donation up to $500,000, so now’s your chance to double your impact towards a more free and open internet for all. - -DONATE NOW: donate.torproject.org - -// Upcoming Events with Tor // - -[Explore Tor, NYC!] Running a Relay; December 7, 2017: https://blog.torproject.org/events/running-relay-explore-tor-nyc - -Library Freedom Project training with Alison; Free Library of Philadelphia; December 8, 2017: https://blog.torproject.org/events/alison-does-library-freedom-project-train... - -Cyber Challenges to International Human Rights; Jerusalem; December 11-12, 2017: https://blog.torproject.org/events/roger-does-two-tor-talks-israel - -34C3; Leipzig, Germany; December 27-30, 2017: https://blog.torproject.org/events/many-tor-people-leipzig-ccc - --- - -The Tor Project is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit organization advancing human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open-source anonymity and privacy technologies, supporting their unrestricted availability and use, and furthering their scientific and popular understanding. - -Twitter: twitter.com/torproject Facebook: facebook.com/torproject - diff --git a/content/archive/we-gave-tor-browser-ux-overhaul/contents+en.lr b/content/archive/we-gave-tor-browser-ux-overhaul/contents+en.lr deleted file mode 100644 index b3dd80b..0000000 --- a/content/archive/we-gave-tor-browser-ux-overhaul/contents+en.lr +++ /dev/null @@ -1,171 +0,0 @@ -_model: post ---- -_template: newsletter.html ---- -author: steph@torproject.org ---- -pub_date: 2018-09-06 ---- -title: We Gave Tor Browser a UX Overhaul ---- -html_body: - -<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="devicewidth" width="650"> - <tbody> - <tr> - <td width="100%"> - <table align="center" bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="devicewidth" width="650"> - <tbody><!-- Spacing --> - <tr> - <td height="20" width="100%"><a href="https://newsletter.torproject.org"><img alt="tor-news-logo" src="https://blog.torproject.org/sites/default/files/inline-images/tor-news-logo-560.png" style="width: 250px; height: 75px;" /></a></td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> - <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="devicewidth" width="650"> - <tbody> - <tr> - <td width="100%"> - <table align="center" bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="devicewidth" width="650"> - <tbody><!-- /Spacing --><!-- Spacing --> - <tr> - <td height="15" style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;" width="100%"> </td> - </tr> - <!-- /Spacing --><!-- content --> - <tr> - <td style="padding:0 15px 15px 15px;"> - <hr /> - <h1><span class="quickedit-field" data-quickedit-field-id="node/1578/title/en/full" property="schema:name">We Gave Tor Browser a UX Overhaul </span></h1> - - <p><a href="https://blog.torproject.org/new-alpha-release-tor-browser-android"><img alt="Tor Browser for Android " src="https://blog.torproject.org/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/image/tor-browser-android.png?itok=FpmHK4h-" style="width: 560px; height: 280px;" /></a></p> - - <p>For the past year, we have been collecting feedback on how we can make Tor Browser work better for you.</p> - - <p>Tor Browser 8.0, our first stable release based on Firefox 60 ESR, <a href="https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html">is now available</a>. <em>This release is all about users first.</em></p> - - <p>Tor Browser 8.0 comes with a series of user experience improvements that address a set of long-term Tor Browser issues you’ve told us about. To meet our users' needs, Tor Browser has a new user onboarding experience; an updated landing page that follows our <a href="https://styleguide.torproject.org/">styleguide</a>; support for 9 new languages; and new behaviors for bridge fetching, displaying a circuit, and visiting .onion sites.</p> - - <h2>New User Onboarding</h2> - - <p><a href="https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-80"><img alt="user-onboarding" src="https://extra.torproject.org/blog/2018-09-05-tor-browser-80/tb8-onboarding-small1.gif" style="width: 560px; height: 489px;" /></a></p> - - <p>For the most part, using Tor is like using any other browser (and it is based on Firefox), but there are some usage differences and cool things happening behind the scenes that users should be aware of. Our new onboarding experience aims to better let you know about unique aspects of Tor Browser and how to maximize those for your best browsing experience.</p> - - <h2>Improved Bridge Fetching</h2> - - <p>For users where Tor is blocked, we have previously offered a handful of bridges in the browser to bypass censorship. But to receive additional bridges, you had to send an email or visit a website, which posed a set of problems. To simplify how you request bridges, we now have a new bridge configuration flow when you when you launch Tor. Now all you have to do is solve a captcha in Tor Launcher, and you’ll get a bridge IP. We hope this simplification will allow more people to bypass censorship and browse the internet freely and privately.</p> - - <h2>Better Language Support</h2> - - <p>Millions of people around the world use Tor, but not everyone has been able to use Tor in their language. In Tor Browser 8, we’ve added resources and support for nine previously unsupported languages: Catalan, Irish, Indonesian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Danish, Hebrew, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese.</p> - - <h2>Collaboration Was Key</h2> - - <p>Providing this many improvements for our users could only be possible with collaboration between the Tor Browser team and Tor's UX team, Community team, Services Admin team, and our volunteers.
