Comment(by karsten):
Adding a few notes from the #tor-dev meeting yesterday:
- Nick is going to write a proposal for using a front-end proxy like
Apache for bridge scanning resistance. Roger is most interested in the
question "what changes on the Tor side will make it easier for people who
want to stick a $foo in front of Tor to make Tor look like $foo unless you
authenticate right;" where Apache is the first $foo. George added that
the other question is "what changes on the $foo side will be needed."
- George asked how the Apache->Tor transition on correct password is
going to happen. Roger mentioned a master's student at UT who wrote an
Apache module to proxypass Tor traffic if you GET the right URL first.
- Nick says that July 1 is fine as a milestone if the deliverable is just
"a proposal with some discussion." We probably don't need substeps for
this deliverable.
- Roger says that Dan Boneh is excited to think about front-end proxies
for bridge scanning resistance from a theory level. So once we have
something we should involve him.
