-<b>Tor Node Scanner improvements</b>
+<b>Tor Browser Bundle for Linux/Mac OS X</b>
 <br />
-Similar to the SoaT exit scanner (or perhaps even during exit scanning),
-statistics can be gathered about the reliability of nodes. Nodes that
-fail too high a percentage of their circuits should not be given
-Guard status. Perhaps they should have their reported bandwidth
-penalized by some ratio as well, or just get marked as Invalid. In
-addition, nodes that exhibit a very low average stream capacity but
-advertise a very high node bandwidth can also be marked as Invalid.
-Much of this statistics gathering is already done, it just needs to be
-transformed into something that can be reported to the Directory
-Authorities to blacklist/penalize nodes in such a way that clients
-will listen.
+Priority: <i>High</i>
 <br />
-In addition, these same statistics can be gathered about the traffic
-through a node. Events can be added to the <a
-href="https://svn.torproject.org/svn/torctl/trunk/doc/howto.txt";>Tor Control
-Protocol</a> to
-report if a circuit extend attempt through the node succeeds or fails, and
-passive statistics can be gathered on both bandwidth and reliability
-of other nodes via a node-based monitor using these events. Such a
-scanner would also report information on oddly-behaving nodes to
-the Directory Authorities, but a communication channel for this
-currently does not exist and would need to be developed as well.

+The Tor Browser bundle incorporates Tor, Firefox, and the Vidalia user
+interface (and optionally Pidgin IM). Components are pre-configured to
+operate in a secure way, and it has very few dependencies on the
+installed operating system. It has therefore become one of the most
+easy to use, and popular, ways to use Tor on Windows.
+<br />
+However, there is currently no comparable package for Linux and Mac OS
+X, so this project would be to implement Tor Browser Bundle for these
+platforms. This will involve modifications to Vidalia (C++), possibly
+Firefox (C) then creating and testing the launcher on a range of
+operating system versions and configurations to verify portability.
+<br />
+Students should be familiar with application development on one or
+preferably both of Linux and Mac OS X, and be comfortable with C/C++
+and shell scripting.
+<br />
+Part of this project could be usability testing of Tor Browser Bundle,
+ideally amongst our target demographic.
+That would help a lot in knowing what needs to be done in terms of bug
+fixes or new features. We get this informally at the moment, but a more
+structured process would be better.

-<b>Better Debian/Ubuntu Packaging for Tor+Vidalia</b>
-<br />
-Vidalia currently doesn't play nicely on Debian and Ubuntu with the
-default Tor packages. The current Tor packages automatically start Tor
-as a daemon running as the debian-tor user and (sensibly) do not have a
-<a href="<svnsandbox>doc/spec/control-spec.txt">ControlPort</a> defined
-in the default torrc. Consequently, Vidalia will try
-to start its own Tor process since it could not connect to the existing
-Tor, and Vidalia's Tor process will then exit with an error message
-the user likely doesn't understand since Tor cannot bind its listening
-ports &mdash; they're already in use by the original Tor daemon.
-<br />
-The current solution involves either telling the user to stop the
-existing Tor daemon and let Vidalia start its own Tor process, or
-explaining to the user how to set a control port and password in their
-torrc. A better solution on Debian 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 Debian packages. Vidalia can
-then authenticate to Tor using filesystem-based (cookie) authentication
-if the user running Vidalia is also in the debian-tor group.
-<br />
-This project will first involve adding support for Tor's ControlSocket
-to Vidalia. The student will then develop and test Debian and Ubuntu
-packages for Vidalia that conform to Debian's packaging standards and
-make sure they work well with the existing Tor packages. We can also
-set up an apt repository to host the new Vidalia packages.
-<br />
-The next challenge would be to find an intuitive 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. 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 Tor starts
-each boot with a different configuration than the user wants. 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.
-<br />
-A person undertaking this project should have prior knowledge of
-Debian package management and some C++ development experience. Previous
-experience with Qt is helpful, but not required.

-We're in need of a good authenticated-update framework.

+Much of this statistics gathering is already done, it just needs to be
+transformed into something that can be reported to the Directory
+Authorities to blacklist/penalize nodes in such a way that clients
+will listen.
+<br />
+In addition, these same statistics can be gathered about the traffic
+through a node. Events can be added to the <a
+href="https://svn.torproject.org/svn/torctl/trunk/doc/howto.txt";>Tor Control
+Protocol</a> to
+report if a circuit extend attempt through the node succeeds or fails, and
+passive statistics can be gathered on both bandwidth and reliability
+of other nodes via a node-based monitor using these events. Such a
+scanner would also report information on oddly-behaving nodes to
+the Directory Authorities, but a communication channel for this
+currently does not exist and would need to be developed as well.

+<b>Better Debian/Ubuntu Packaging for Tor+Vidalia</b>
+<br />
+Vidalia currently doesn't play nicely on Debian and Ubuntu with the
+default Tor packages. The current Tor packages automatically start Tor
+as a daemon running as the debian-tor user and (sensibly) do not have a
+<a href="<svnsandbox>doc/spec/control-spec.txt">ControlPort</a> defined
+in the default torrc. Consequently, Vidalia will try
+to start its own Tor process since it could not connect to the existing
+Tor, and Vidalia's Tor process will then exit with an error message
+the user likely doesn't understand since Tor cannot bind its listening
+ports &mdash; they're already in use by the original Tor daemon.
+<br />
+The current solution involves either telling the user to stop the
+existing Tor daemon and let Vidalia start its own Tor process, or
+explaining to the user how to set a control port and password in their
+torrc. A better solution on Debian 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 Debian packages. Vidalia can
+then authenticate to Tor using filesystem-based (cookie) authentication
+if the user running Vidalia is also in the debian-tor group.
+<br />
+This project will first involve adding support for Tor's ControlSocket
+to Vidalia. The student will then develop and test Debian and Ubuntu
+packages for Vidalia that conform to Debian's packaging standards and
+make sure they work well with the existing Tor packages. We can also
+set up an apt repository to host the new Vidalia packages.
+<br />
+The next challenge would be to find an intuitive 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. 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 Tor starts
+each boot with a different configuration than the user wants. 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.
+<br />
+A person undertaking this project should have prior knowledge of
+Debian package management and some C++ development experience. Previous
+experience with Qt is helpful, but not required.

+<b>Tor/Polipo/Vidalia Auto-Update Framework</b>
+<br />
+We're in need of a good authenticated-update framework.
+Vidalia already has the ability to notice when the user is running an
+outdated or unrecommended version of Tor, using signed statements inside
+the Tor directory information. Currently, Vidalia simply pops
+up a little message box that lets the user know they should manually

-Additional capabilities are needed for assisted updates of all the Tor

-features to consider include:
-1) Integration of the <a

-Python library</a>
-for authenticated HTTPS downloads. 2) Adding a level of indirection
-between the timestamp signatures and the package files included in an
-update. See the "Thandy attacks / suggestions" thread on or-dev.
-3) Support locale specific installation and configuration of assisted
-updates based on preference, host, or user account language settings.
-Familiarity with Windows codepages, unicode, and other character sets
-is helpful in addition to general win32 and posix API experience and
-Python proficiency.

-The WinPCAP device driver used by Tor VM for bridged networking does
-not support a number of wireless and non-Ethernet network adapters.
-Implementation of a intermediate level network device driver for win32
-and 64bit would provide a way to intercept and route traffic over such

-Windows kernel device driver development and testing. Familiarity with
-Winsock and Qemu would also be helpful.

-The Tor Browser bundle incorporates Tor, Firefox, and the Vidalia user
-interface (and optionally Pidgin IM). Components are pre-configured to
-operate in a secure way, and it has very few dependencies on the
-installed operating system. It has therefore become one of the most
-easy to use, and popular, ways to use Tor on Windows.
-<br />
-However, there is currently no comparable package for Linux and Mac OS
-X, so this project would be to implement Tor Browser Bundle for these
-platforms. This will involve modifications to Vidalia (C++), possibly
-Firefox (C) then creating and testing the launcher on a range of
-operating system versions and configurations to verify portability.
-<br />
-Students should be familiar with application development on one or
-preferably both of Linux and Mac OS X, and be comfortable with C/C++
-and shell scripting.

-Many users of Tor have poor-quality Internet connections, giving low
-bandwidth, high latency, and high packet loss/re-ordering. User
-experience is that Tor reacts badly to these conditions, but it is
-difficult to improve the situation without being able to repeat the
-problems in the lab.
-<br />
-This project would be to build a simulation environment which
-replicates the poor connectivity so that the effect on Tor performance
-can be measured. Other components would be a testing utility to
-establish what are the properties of connections available, and to
-measure the effect of performance-improving modifications to Tor.
-<br />
-The tools used would be up to the student, but dummynet (for FreeBSD)
-and nistnet (for Linux) are two potential components on which this
-project could be built. Students should be experienced with network
-programming/debugging and TCP/IP, and preferably familiar with C and a
-scripting language.
