Hi Tor people!
The following is my bi-week status report for the anon-connection-wizard project.
# anon-connection-wizard development
## features implemented
- - default settings will be adjusted according to .torrc (anon-connection-wizard will "remember" user's last choices) - - Use Tor ControlSocket and cookie file authentication
## features improved
- - switched from /usr/lib/python3.4 to /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages - - several bugs fixed - - switch from self-made .tmp file to python tmpfile - - the only torrc anon-connection-wizard will be used is /etc/torrc.d/anon-connection-wizard.torrc (all other .orig etc files are not needed anymore)
## links
- - detailed discussion[0] [1] - - commits on Github [2]
# related work
- - repair_torrc() is created and serving as a standalone module to repair /etc/tor/torrc in Whonix
# Next step
- - integrate anon-connection-wizard with whonix-setup-wizard [3] - - a lot of GUI changes for better UX under the guidance of Tor UX team's paper[4]
Thank you!
Best, iry
