[tor-reports] [GSoC] wfpadtools: fourth status report

Hi all,

This week I went to the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium and
talked with many people about the WFPad transport. Some people
explicitly  told me that it would be great if something like this
comes out.

During this week I couldn't do much. The previous week I tried to
write correctness tests for the primitives and the protocol that
passes the arguments and opcodes of these primitives. The tests I had
were not enough to test this since they only check the integrity of
data (tester.py), and I need more visibility on the contents of the
intermediate communications. What I ended up doing is to write a
“dummy test transport server”. The client of the transport that I'm
testing connects to this test transport server. The server dumps its
state and the data that is receiving in a temp folder. Then I load
these data and run my tests on it.

Now I'm trying to find a simple way to send a request to the SOCKS
shim for these tests. I'll contact Yawning to see if can help me with
that.

I still haven't found why a new PT instance is created for each TCP
connection.
