Network health meeting notes, 4 May 2020
by Georg Koppen 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi! We just had a short sync yesterday about network health work. You can find the IRC log at: http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting/2020/tor-meeting.2020-05-04-17.59.log… There was no pad involved this time, so no notes from it. Moreover, this was the last network-health meeting for quite some time I suspect as we are currently reorganizing our team structure in the wake of the recent lay-offs. There is no network-health team anymore and network-health topics will likely be part of meetings concerned with core Tor work in the foreseeable future. But details are not set yet. Georg

Do you own the dockerhub user name torproject?
by Philipp Winter 04 May '20

04 May '20

I recently tried to set up an organisational dockerhub account named torproject but the name was already taken, by a seemingly inactive user account: <https://hub.docker.com/u/torproject> Does anyone on here own this account, or knows who might? Thanks, Philipp

Anti-censorship team monthly report: April 2020
by Philipp Winter 01 May '20

01 May '20

Hi all, Here's what the anti-censorship team has been up to in April: Snowflake --------- * Merged Turbo Tunnel features into Snowflake. (Allows persisting a session across separate proxies.) <https://bugs.torproject.org/33745> <https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2020-April/045571.html> Merging into Tor Browser is pending: <https://bugs.torproject.org/34043> * Implemented measures to hand out more restrictive proxies less often. <https://bugs.torproject.org/33666> * Split Snowflake into two repositories(one for Go, one for the web-based proxy code). <https://bugs.torproject.org/33593> * Updated pion webrtc in Tor Browser. <https://bugs.torproject.org/33576> BridgeDB -------- * Moved forward with creating a feedback loop between OONI and BridgeDB. Work-in-progress code is available at: <https://gitlab.torproject.org/torproject/anti-censorship/wolpertinger> <https://bugs.torproject.org/32740> * Removed PGP support from BridgeDB. The feature has been broken for quite a while, is overly complex, and not particularly useful. <https://bugs.torproject.org/17548> * Renamed a bunch of source code files in BridgeDB, so they no longer collide on a file system that's case insensitive. <https://bugs.torproject.org/29686> * Made BridgeDB's email responder more usable. The instructions are now more clear and it will return with bridges no matter what -- even if the user's request was malformed. <https://bugs.torproject.org/30941> * Improved a Python script that tests BridgeDB's email responder by periodically sending email. <https://bugs.torproject.org/12802> * Made progress towards improving the robustness of BridgeDB's email autoresponder, so it no longer gets confused by Gmail's quoted-printable responses. <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/33835#ticket> GetTor ------ * Fixed a bug caused by malformed email addresses. <https://bugs.torproject.org/34027> * Refactored to remove duplicate code. <https://bugs.torproject.org/34035> * Cleaned up logs. <https://bugs.torproject.org/34061> * Fixed a bug in the service shutdown code. <https://bugs.torproject.org/34062> * Removed a bunch of old GetTor code. <https://bugs.torproject.org/32912> Miscellaneous ------------- * Reviewed a submission for the Tor Research Safety Board. * Moved forward with creating a "censorship snapshot" that encodes how each country blocks Tor. Eventually, this snapshot should help Tor Browser figure out how to best circumvent in each country. <https://bugs.torproject.org/28531> * Built a prototype of a lightweight censorship analyser that's meant to be run by censored users. It can help us create the censorship snapshot in #28531. <https://bugs.torproject.org/30794> * Created a new mailing list for anti-censorship service outage alerts. If this interests you, you can subscribe here: <https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/anti-censorship-alerts> * We organised two reading groups, in which we discussed the following two papers: <https://censorbib.nymity.ch/#Wang2020a> <https://censorbib.nymity.ch/#Nasr2020a> Cheers, Philipp
