+Tor Browser users are often complaining about their browser fingerprint
+being not as good as it should according to the <a
+href="https://panopticlick.eff.org">Panopticlick of the EFF</a>. To fix
+that the student should develop an own <a
+href="https://panopticlick.eff.org/browser-uniqueness.pdf">Panopticlick</a>
+instance which performs, in a first step, basic tests estimating the
+uniformity among Tor Browser Bundle users. The user should get a
+feedback on how she performed and the test results should be available
+in a machine readable format (e.g. JSON). In a second step one could
+think about adding more sophisticated tests or <a

+other browser vendors</a> that might want to test the uniformity amongst
+their userbase as well."
