Tor Summer of Privacy [ Incorporating ruleset testing into https-everywhere release process ]
Hello there! I am Karan Grover. I am a 2nd year computer science student at IIIT Delhi.
I am a part of my college's Cybersecurity Education and Research Center, which is the first of its kind in the country. I have worked primarily in the field of Privacy and Security of Online Social Media (PSOSM).
I am interested in contributing to Tor as a part of Tor Summer of Privacy. The project I am interested in working on is *Incorporating ruleset testing into https-everywhere release process*. I have been understanding the codebase of *https-everywhere-checker, *and am now quite familiar with it. I would like to discuss further about what the project entails.
I contribute to open source every now and then, but am now looking to be an active open source contributor and Tor seems to align with my interests.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you.

Some time ago I has thought the rules needed more documentation since they may not be strict "perlre" or "eregexp". And that a new and up-to-date and more detailed "TEMPLATE" file is needed to be created for people to copy and paste from as their default template when creating new rules for a site. Since there is lots of inconsistancy and lack of minimalization, optimization, and correctness with rules for existing sites. Which only breeds more of same. At least in my opinion. Whatever work you or others do there is appreciated, in GSOC or not. My work is in get sites to enable https rightly. Thx.
