any help would be appreciable.
Hi everyone,
This is the first status report for the 'Expand Nyx' project for GSoC 2016.
I have been working on the following things:
* Load events dynamically from Tor for event selection. For selecting the
events, the users can `check` any event. The dialog box remembers
previously selected events and includes Tor runlevels and Nyx runlevels
along with the Tor events.
* The event descriptions have been added to Stem. The event descriptions
will be leveraged into Nyx in the future patches.
* …
[View More]Added unit tests for the event selection dialog box[1]
Next up, I will be working on adding the event descriptions along with the
event selection dialog box.
Hope everyone has a fun weekend!

Hello,
I heard on Hacker News that Tor Project announced that Jacob Appelbaum
"Appelbaum stepped down from his position at The Tor Project". Why is
that? HN users are theorizing about FBI's involvement:

Does anybody know anything specific?

Hello,
I am not sure if this has been discussed before or how hard it would be to
implement, but I'm looking for a way to integrate a smartcard with Tor -
essentially, I want to be able to host hidden service keys on the card. I'm
trying to bind the hidden service to a hardware component (the smartcard)
so that it can be securely hosted in a hostile environment as well as
impossible to clone/move without physical access to the smartcard.
I have Tor running on the USBArmory by InversePath (
…
[View More]http://inversepath.com/usbarmory.html ) and have a microSD form factor card
made by Swissbit (
www.swissbit.com/products/security-products/overwiev/security-products-over…
) up and running on it. I am a JavaCard developer myself and I have
developed embedded Linux firmwares before but I have never touched the Tor
source.
Is there anyone that is willing to take on a side project doing this? Would
it be just a matter of configuring OpenSSL to use the card (I haven't tried
that yet)?
Thank you,
Razvan

Hi everyone,
I'm working on ahmia.fi, the hidden service search engine and you're
reading status update #1.
During the last two weeks i've been working on several things:
1/ Settle on a new structure for ahmia source code.
The official repository [1] contains all the code related to ahmia. Some
of this code is deprecated (solr is not used anymore), documentation
needed to be updated, so it needed a bit of cleanup anyway.
A structure with two repositories was chosen:
- ahmia-site [2] is …
[View More]going to contain the django website, configuration
to use it in production (apache, nginx, uwsgi) and documentation on how
to get the project running.
- ahmia-crawler [3] is going to contain scrapy bots, configuration +
documentation (elasticsearch, polipo)
I tried to keep all past commits when creating these repositories.
2/ Update documentation
See [2] and [3].
3/ Start to refactor the django project
The django project is going to be composed by two apps:
- search is going to be the search engine frontend + future API endpoints
- trends is going to be the statistics visualization frontend + future
API endpoints
Some logic is also going to move from the website source code to the
indexer part of the search engine (ex: removal of fake/banned domains).
You can see this work on the ahmia-site repository [2].
Note: The trends app is not yet done so it isn't visible online.
4/ Implement continuous integration with travis.CI
Tests are going to be automatically run on travis.CI.
I also consider to display test code coverage with coveralls.io but I
fear about people focusing on improving the coverage percentage at all
cost, which is not very good.
This work is going to be pushed during the week-end.
5/ Start to write a proposal with details on how to improve search
I have yet to write a much more readable document, but here are a couple
ideas:
- Regroup all data related to domains, stats, content into elasticsearch
so when can use it for search or insights
- What about a pagerank-like algorithm to estimate a webpage popularity
instead of tor2web popularity ?
- Improve search with human language thanks to elasticsearch [4]
- Use static boosting with popularity (or pagerank) field [5]
We have a meeting planned tuesday with all ahmia's contributors. I hope
to have a clean proposal by then to discuss it with them.
During the next two weeks, I plan to continue working on the same
things. I want to finish 1/ to 4/ as quickly as possible to start
working on search quality.
See you in two weeks :)

Hi everyone,
Here is my first status report for my GSOC project.
1 - Here is the link to the GitHub repo of the project:
https://github.com/plaperdr/fp-central
I have chosen the name "Fingerprint Central" for the project. I may
change it in the future but I'm pretty satisfied with it for the moment.
If someone has a great suggestion to replace it, don't hesitate to send
it to me! I have also included on the main page a checklist for anyone
to follow the progression of development.
2 - I took …
[View More]the time to build strong foundations for my project to
support both current and future features.
* To support addition and removal of fingerprinting tests, I have added
a system that need two components:
- a definition file where one gives all the information related to the test
- the source code needed to execute the test
With this system, I can manage tests dynamically and I can give
information to the users on what is currently being run in the test suite.
* To support different types of fingerprints and browsers, I plan to
integrate a system to tag fingerprints. Instead of storing fingerprints
in specific databases, I found that a tag system is a flexible way to
deal with any changes and when statistics will be implemented, it will
be easier to get numbers on relevant categories thanks to tags.
Everything is explained in greater details in the "fingerprint" folder
of the repo in the Readme files. I'd love to have feedback on it to know
if I'm going in the right direction and if my project seems well structured.
3 - Everything that I'm planning to use is present in the Debian
repositories except for the PyMongo support of Flask. This means that it
may possible to use the Tor infrastructure to host the website. I'll see
when I get closer to a first stable version what could be possible on
that front.
What's next?
My focus for the next two weeks is mainly to add new tests (both
standard and specific to the Tor browser) and to add support of MongoDB.
I hope to have a page that collects fingerprints, stores them in Mongo
and calculate statistics on them.
That's it for me this week!
Have a great week-end everyone,
Pierre

Hey guys,
This is my first status report for GSoC 2016.
I’ve attended the tor browser meeting on IRC and done some organizational work there.
We plan to now track Orfox specific tickets on trac [0] using the keyword “tbb-mobile”.
We still have bugs on the TGP bug tracker [1] but plan to move slowly from there to trac.
Currently, on the tor projects trac, we have mobile fingerprinting tickets.
I’ve also had success in rebasing from orfox-tor-browser-38.5.0esr-5.5-2 to orfox-tor-browser-38.8.…
[View More]0esr-5.5-1 [2].
Between the time of writing the GSoC proposal and the start of the program, we rebased from orfox-tb_GECKO380esr_2015050513_RELBRANCH to orfox-tor-browser-38.5.0esr-5.5-2.
And now we’ve successfully moved to 38.8.0.
Here’s a temporary build if someone wants to check it out [3]. But the official one should be on FDroid pretty soon.
Next up, ESR 45. Rebasing to 45 might be harder, but I will see how it goes.
After which I plan on starting with the code audit.
Thats it for now, just regular maintenance stuff, nothing fancy to report!
Hope you guys have a nice weekend.
Best,

Hi everyone,
This is the first status report on the CONIKS for Tor Messenger project.
This is what I have done so far:
* Discussing with Arlo and Marcela about the account verification module.
The proposal is described below.
* Implementing the Merkle prefix tree module. The source code is under review
and is available on github repo [1]
* Submitting 2 patches for ctype-otr addon (pull #74 and #75 [2])
For now, I'm working on implementing the STR module as a part of Merkle tree
module. …
[View More]This module would be moved into its own repo as a library, separated
from the key server module, after others commented on the code.
Next I plan to continue implementing the key server module
(including the registration and key change operation). It also requires a
prototype implementation of the account verification module.
Besides, we also established the collaboration with engineers and PhD students
from EPFL on developing the CONIKS server module. The source code of the CONIKS
server module would be committed to its own repo [3], while other Tor Messenger
specific modules would be committed to the repo of the project [4].
---
The account verification protocol is proposed as follows (credit to Arlo)
- the user connects to an account
- the client sends the registration request to a registration bot on the server
- the client also signs the registered public key and sends it
to the registration bot
- the bot verifies the signature and registers the sending account with
the public key
The client sends the signed public key to the registration bot by using one of
following methods:
- send a direct message to the Twitter account of the bot (in case the account
is a Twitter account)
- send a private chat to the Jabber account of the bot (in case the account is
a Jabber account)
Best,
Huy

Sir,
Can you please tell me from where and how can I install sources of tor
messenger so that I can start building it.
