+    The Tor Bulk Exitlist provides a method of identifying if IPs belong to

+    (though unmaintained) Haskell application for this purpose. The initial
+    version of TorBEL was started in GSOC 2010 but since then the project has
+    been inactive.

-    <p>
-    Vidalia currently doesn't play nicely with Tor on Linux and Unix platforms.
-    Currently, on Debian and Ubuntu, there is a configuration mechanism which
-    allows Vidalia to override Tor's ability to start on boot (by sourcing
-    <code>/etc/default/tor.vidalia</code> which sets <code>RUN_DAEMON=no</code> at the user's
-    request), but full implementation of <a href="<gitblob>doc/spec/control-spec.txt">ControlPort</a> 
-    communication is still required.
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>
-    A better solution on Linux and Unix platforms would be to use Tor's
-    ControlSocket, which allows Vidalia to talk to Tor via a Unix domain socket,
-    and could possibly be enabled by default in Tor's distribution packages.
-    Vidalia can then authenticate to Tor using filesystem-based (cookie)
-    authentication if the user running Vidalia is also in the distribution-specific
-    tor group.
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>
-    This project will first involve adding support for Tor's ControlSocket to
-    Vidalia. The student will then develop and test this support on various
-    distributions to make sure it behaves in a predictable and consistent manner on
-    all of them.
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>
-    The next challenge would be to find an intuitive and usable way for Vidalia to be
-    able to change Tor's configuration (torrc) even though it is located in
-    <code>/etc/tor/torrc</code> and thus immutable. In Debian and Ubuntu we handle
-    this with the aforementioned <code>/etc/default/tor.vidalia</code> but this
-    functionality could (or should) be less distribution-specific.
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>
-    The best idea we've come up with so far is to feed Tor a new configuration via
-    the ControlSocket when Vidalia starts, but that's bad because if the user is not
-    using the latest Debian/Ubuntu packages, they may not have disabled Tor's
-    ability to run on boot and will end up with a configuration that is different
-    from what they want. The second best idea we've come up with is for Vidalia to
-    write out a temporary torrc file and ask the user to manually move it to
-    <code>/etc/tor/torrc</code>, but that's bad because users shouldn't have to
-    mess with files directly.
