Hi,
I am Gautham (icodemachine from IRC and TRAC). I am willing to participate in GSoC 2015. I was brainstorming for project ideas and thought of this useful project idea.
I want to put forward a project idea of Simple analytics tool for HIDDEN service providers. Although, there are already thousands of third-party traffic statistic tools, most of them require javascript and just defeats the whole purpose of server anonymity. This project is a little similar to Arm, instead it involves in listening how many users are connected to our site and parsing it.
Advanced metrics like IP addresses of visitors, countries, e.t.c. wouldn't be available as it is pointless in our case (Since the IPs reflect the IPs of exit nodes). So, it basically displays the number of visitors and a few other metrics. Historic data will be presented graphically. The data will be accessible through a localhost website and Historic data would be stored in a local database. Although, it is not nearly as advanced as other statistic tools, it would still be an essential tool for Hidden service providers to analyze their traffic figures. How would it be? Please share your views.
Thanks, Gautham
