[weather-rewrite] Update on hourly-script
by Oliver Baumann 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

Hi Team, please see [1] for the current status of the hourly bandwidth script and feel free to comment on any improvements! Currently it's just a script calling several functions and performing some work 'off hand'. Once we move into integrating with a webapp, refactoring should make this nice and object-oriented :) Have a nice weekend and happy hacking, Oliver [1] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10697

by Hartmut Prochaska 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi, I changed a function in sandbox.c to not use a goto statement. I didn't understood what use it had. Attached the patch file. I did the usual tests and didn't found any error at first and second glance. Please consider to test it yourself and if fit include it into production. best regards Hartmut PS: I try to remove some more gotos, if this patch is ok. - -- Ideas are the only things that can change the world.

tor2web proposal: comments appreciated before I commit this

Filename: ???-quickening-tor2webmode.txt Title: Making Tor2Web mode faster Author: Virgil Griffith, Fabio Pietrosanti, Giovanni Pellerano Created: 2014-02-23 Status: Open 1. Introduction While chatting with the Tor archons at the winter meeting, two speed optimizations for tor2web mode [1] were put forward. This proposal specifies concretizes these two optimizations. As with the current tor2web mode, this quickened tor2web mode negates any client anonymity. 2. Tor2web optimizations 2.1) self-rendezvous In the current tor2web mode, the client establishes a 0-hop circuit (direct connection) to a chosen rendezvous point. We propose that, alternatively, the client set *itself* as the rendezvous point. This coincides with ticket #9685 [2]. 2.2) direct-introduction Identical to the non-tor2web mode, in the current tor2web mode, the client establishes a 3-hop circuit to the introduction point. We propose that, alternatively, the client build a 1-hop (or 0-hop?) circuit to the introduction point. 4.
