iOS AppStore - Trademark violations
by Nima Fatemi 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Hey there, Following the great news that Onion Browser for iOS finally became free, I took a look at Apple AppStore to see what other apps are there that are pretending to be "the" Tor for iOS, and unfortunately found plenty that use Tor logo or brand name to promote themselves. Most of which are not free (as in beer / nor as in freedom) and seem to be even injecting ads to users. The worst part... some of them have hundreds of 5 star reviews. So I collected a bunch of them under this ticket: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20873 However I couldn't find the right component to file the ticket under. So I thought I'd drop a line to the mailing list and let people know this exists, in case the ones who need to deal with these issues read the mailing list. Should we have a legal component on trac? Enjoy the weekend! -- Nima 0X58C4B928A3E218F6 | @mrphs "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" --Evelyn Beatrice Hall

Fwd: [OTF-Talk] Lush Digital Fund - deadline January 15
by Tom Ritter 21 Dec '16

If you're doing short-term contracting work, this might be a good opportunity to pick some "It sure would be nice to have this feature" topic... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Deji Bryce Olukotun <deji(a)accessnow.org> Date: 20 December 2016 at 16:39 Subject: [OTF-Talk] Lush Digital Fund - deadline January 15 To: otf-talk(a)opentechfund.org Hi to All, Apologies for cross-posting. I'm pleased to report that the Lush Digital Fund is available for applications. Background: Access Now partnered with the ethical UK-based cosmetics company to raise awareness around internet shutdowns and created a special product called an Error 404 bath bomb. You can read more about our collaboration here: https://uk.lush.com/tag/keepiton Profits from the sale of the Error 404 bath bomb -- which are still continuing -- are placed into a Digital Fund, with the aim of raising 250,000 pounds. Grants are a maximum of 10,000 pounds each (about U.S. $12,600 today.) The first application round is fairly simple. Also note that Lush's funding flexibility allows the company to support small grassroots groups or individuals who do not have official charity / non-profit status. Applications do not need to be focused on internet shutdowns to be considered. http://digitalfund.org.uk/ The deadline is January 15. Feel free to write with questions.

Adding a "General" component to Trac
by David Goulet 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

Hi everyone! This ticket has been opened by mrphs couple days ago and it seems we lack a component for such idea: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21013 I propose we add a new Component to Trac that is called something like "General" (which is probably not the best name btw) and put ticket like this in it. Ticket without component usually will get lost in the dark dark void of Trac and we have no right now for "general purposes" Tor ideas/issues/improvement. Thoughts? David

email interface for Trac: a proposal
by Silvia [Hiro] 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

Hi everyone, I have been working my way through a wish list of Trac features, and started from implementing an interface to create and reply to tickets via email. I now have a simple prototype, but before proceeding I'd like to receive some feedback on my proposal so far. So here is my masterplan: 1. Verify that the email is signed and the signature is recognised. For the moment and during the first pilot we could restrict this feature to @tpo addresses and verify the key w/ the info we have in db.tpo. Further on, we can verify the key by importing eventually missing keys from known keyservers. I am implementing step 1 through procmail and a simple script. 2. If the email has a valid signature, check permissions for the users, parse the email and create the ticket or reply to a thread. I am implementing step 2 through a python script, so that I can interface directly with Trac libraries. Note that I am assuming that I am receiving somehow the email on the server. For testing purpose I have been configuring postfix, but this of course might change in prod. A couple of questions I now have. - Do you have any particular concern with this setup? - Anything I should consider when introducing a change in a tpo infrastructure machine? One last thing: the architecture is simple enough but I'd like to share my scripts and procmail setup, so that you can all have a look. Can I get a git repo for this project? Thanks, - s

Many obfs4 bridges with similar nicknames and characteristics
by David Fifield 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

There are many bridges in Onionoo that seem to follow a common naming convention: two dictionary words concatentated, then truncated to 16 characters. That, plus the fact that many of them run on the same platform, run only the obfs4 transport, and have related last_restarted times, makes me think they are somehow related and perhaps malicious. In a sample of 200 Onionoo bridges, 19% followed the convention. I noticed this by accident and I'm not planning to look into it more, so I'm dropping notes here. I downloaded https://onionoo.thecthulhu.com/details?type=bridge ("bridges_published":"2016-11-28 21:41:02") and manually looked at the first 200 entries (of ~2500). I picked out the ones that followed the naming convention: two dictionary words concatenated and truncated to 16 characters; the 40 matches are appended to this message. Of those, only 2 (mapletalon and coffledtileries) don't match the others with respect to transports. The words look like they are randomly chosen from a dictionary and some of them are esoteric or proper names. For example, cubicsrepugned = cubics + repugned instinctivevital = instinctive + vital stegosaurscontin = stegosaurs + contin(ue?) famishmentbarrac = famishment + barrac(ks?) Trobriandersbacc = Trobrianders + bacc(hannal?) friablerecitativ = friable + recitativ(e?) Ruidosospostcopu = Ruidosos + postcopu(latory?) introspectpacifi = introspect + pacifi(c?) cosponsorsangula = cosponsors + angula(r?) Here's the list of 40 bridges I selected manually out of the 200. Notice that 17 of them have a last_restarted time withing 10 minutes of 2016-11-11 00:00:00. $ ./nodeinfo < suspicious-bridges.json hashed_fingerprint nickname first_seen last_seen last_restarted

Tor arm tattoo pic

Hi Shari, I've been hunting for this one for a while, and Juris came up with the URL finally: https://imgur.com/sZUKADG I am cc'ing tor-project for posterity. It seems like we should be able to make use of this in our advertising in some way. Right? Surely? :) (As far as I know, we do not know whose arm this is.) --Roger

Thanks Phoul!! The community team continues to work on stuff related to the support portal too. 1) Update on funding needs for Global South Tor trainers 2) I have a draft blog post on training people about Tor, which will include some of my slides, some of Isa's, and info about tor-teachers mailing list and wiki. I can hold onto this until whenever. 3) LFP update Nick: 1) December seems likely to be a tidying-up month for pending work, etc. Not sure what else I should be working on. That's not a cry for more work though. Kate: 1) Answering various press queries--we're being blocked in Belarus! 2) Press release for crowdfunding campaign 3) Various loose ends as well. Mike: 1) I'm in a similar place as Nick - picking up loose ends. In general, I'm trying to decide which is the most useful thing I can be doing this month. Any guidance would be helpful. Here's the things I am aware of that I could do, but am not sure exactly how to rank them: * Sink more effort into the Tor Copperhead Prototype, or just let it coast for a while by merging other people's patches. Leaning towards the latter, but people are contacting me about stuff (including funding) * Work on tor-core traffic analysis things (ie NSF and Netflow patch) * Help with the DRL proposal. * Try to interface more with Mozilla * Work on gathering the "Tor at the Heart" projects into Tor Labs. * Work on a blog post arguing that the technology industry should do more to protect its users (may not be a good thing to mix in with the fundraising campaign?) * Work on another blog post for our fundraising campaign. * Help with the tor-core hiring process. * review of #18022 (and #15056, and other tickets?) * update tor browser design doc section about website traffic fingerprinting if needed Georg: 1) We were working on SponsorU wrap up and made preliminary plans for the coming weeks and months working towards the ESR 52 transition 2) I helped with the DRL proposal Arturo: 1) Pushed out a new release of ooniprobe that includes IM tests as well as testing of reachability of Tor bridges and Directory authorities enabled by default. 2) Published a blog post about blocking of Tor in Belarus: https://ooni.torproject.org/post/belarus-fries-onion/ 3) Improvements to our continuous integration and testing for ooniprobe (demo.probe.ooni.io is now automatically redeployed on merge to master and we have a daily tests to ensure debian and ubuntu packages are working) 4) Writing a report on the internet shutdown in Gambia 5) Design work for the OONI UX is continuing and it's going very well (see: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/UX/OoniUiDesign) 6) We have a blog post with an overview on OONI for the Tor at the heart of campaign: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xPA0ak8m5bKOKrNQdedC_zCIV2w25B3gGklnuiY…. Karsten: 1) Made good progress on Tor Metrics website redesign project together with linda, isabela, iwakeh, hiro, and RaBe (contracted web designer).

Thanks for everyone's help with this. 2) Editing and budgeting for DRL proposal. 3) Brainstorming ideas on how to shake things up and create a Twitter storm to bring in more donations. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJYTmCEAAoJEC3ESO/4X7XBO9kIAL74z6Op01u9CjDt4/mr/knK yzXyWAO8WSJDRP46gxkDono3UnnmiRq/fQY7I61ndn4PNU4zH/eEqcOnIT4R8yrh hhM7iQdr+8N1uXJeMT27gFe/QV8SSzvbErU/2BDtTNSWVDYXsOv5127JSFZJPxLn qQoNf4mfHURQTt1eA6HDKM8mDRL1xfxbWO1D6Tsh3b/Ze51tOs9svQghlVVthpSf OnpTtCwVk5vaytdDKnElD32AbR9glhlRaumyXxppCbHfMdv0qrExmndlk3nsbMeP ntiNlunUjTMVsGuzrMwl7IlF0RJBru8VlIbpzWGVgY4rulvnzZ4bsDGgvJw4g0w= =KjEY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Fwd: Android on Chromebooks
by Nathan Freitas 11 Dec '16

11 Dec '16

Some Chromebooks now run Android apps, and Orbot and Orfox work great on at least one of them (ARM-based ASUS Flip). Chromebooks have become increasingly popular in schools, some workplaces, and even for activists and journalists. Having an easily installable option for using the Tor is great news. ----- Original message ----- From: Nathan of Guardian <nathan(a)guardianproject.info> To: guardian-internal(a)lists.mayfirst.org Subject: Android on Chromebooks Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2016 19:29:18 -0800 I picked up an ASUS Chromebook Flip with the Rockport ARM chip, and enabled it to run the new "beta" channel that includes full support for Android apps. I have to say I am quite impressed. It is a really great combination to have the full Chrome desktop browser, with a solid keyboard and trackpad, along with access to Android apps and Google Play. The Flip itself is a 2-and-1, and having the Android apps really makes it useful as a tablet. It also seems to actually get 9-10 hours of battery life, and only cost about $250 USD. The best news is that Orbot and Orfox run very well, allowing you to have a real Tor capability on a stock Chromebook for the first time. All of the intent launches work, and the VPN mode, too, though I think only for Android apps and not the ChromeOS itself. I am a little confused about that part. I also tried a number of our other apps, and they all seem to be working more or less. Some apps, like StoryMaker 2, don't appear in the Play Store when I search, so they must be requiring some feature that Chromebooks aren't offering. I guess we just have to mark that as optional. All in all, I am excited how well this works, both for our users and for myself. +n -- Nathan of Guardian nathan(a)guardianproject.info
