Hi there,
Hi Philipp,
Deliverable 6 for sponsor Z says:
- Start a tool that a censored developer can run to discover why their Tor is
failing to connect: brainstorm a list of "things to check", and sort them by how useful they'd be to check / how hard they'd be to build. (#7137)
The deliverable is due on Feb. 28, 2013 so we should get started.
Some background about the deliverable: The reason for this project is that debugging possible censorship events is tedious right now. We often have no access to machines in censoring countries and we are dependent on users creating packet dumps for us. This tool should speed up and automate this process to some extent. Censored users should run it and the tool should then collect data which should then somehow reach us.
I created the following wiki page which should contain all the necessary information: https://censorshipwiki.torproject.org/TorCensorshipAnalyzer
Please add/modify stuff and share your opinion. Since there is quite some overlap with OONI, it would be great if the OONI people could give feedback.
Thanks for starting this! I have updated the page with a few extra things.
