Hi all,
I'm applying for TOR Summer of Privacy. I'm curious if there are any developers here who are able and willing to become a mentor for this idea.
I want to improve TOR's ability to detect anomalies such as sybil attacks, and make it easy to include other heuristics for other potential attacks. When a potential attack is detected, users and maintainers are notified (as necessary). There has been research and development with this field with TorDoctor, exitmap, and HoneyConnector. However, as far as I am aware, these projects could use some help being solidified and integrated into TOR.
Please let me know what you think, if you want to suggest any improvements, and / or if you are a mentor interested in this idea.
Cheers, Kibo
