-=======================================================================
-
-External constraints:
-
-For June/July:
-NR - Work more on Paul's NRL research problem.
-
-For March 22:
-I * Email auto-responder
- * teach gettor how to ask for (and attach) split files.
-
-K . Metrics.
- . With Mike's help, use Torflow to start doing monthly rudimentary
- performance evaluations:
- . Circuit throughput and latency
- - Measure via Broadband and dialup
- . Publish a report addressing key long-term metrics questions:
- . What metrics should we present?
- . What data are available for these metrics?
- . What data are missing, and can collect them safely? Can we
- publish them safely?
- . What systems are available to present this data?
-
-E . Vidalia improvements
- o Vidalia displays by-country user summary for bridge operators
-? - write a help page for vidalia, "what is this"
-
-For mid August:
-
-Section 0, items that didn't make it into the original roadmap:
-
-0.1, installers and packaging
-C . i18n for the msi bundle files
-P . more consistent TBB builds
-IC- get a buildbot up again. Have Linux and BSD build machines.
- (Windows would be nice but realistically will come later.)
-E - Get Tor to work properly on the iPhone.
-
-3.1, performance work. [Section numbers in here are from performance.pdf]
- - High-priority items from performance.pdf
-RS - 1.2, new circuit window sizes. make the default package window lower.
-R+ - 2.1, squeeze loud circuits
- - Evaluate the code to see what stats we can keep about circuit use.
- - Write proposals for various meddling. Look at the research papers
- that Juliusz pointed us to. Ask our systems friends. Plan to put
- a lot of the parameters in the consensus, so we can tune it with
- short turnaround times.
-E+ - 2.5, Change Vidalia's default exit policy to not click "other
- protocols". Or choose not to. Think this through first.
-R+ - 2.6, Tell users not to file-share.
- - Put statement on the Tor front page
- - Put statement on the download pages too
- - And the FAQ
- - 3.1.2, Tor weather
-I - Implement time-to-notification (immediate, a day, a week)
-I - Get a relay operator mailing list going, with a plan and supporting
- scripts and so on.
-R - Link to them from the Tor relay page
-R - and the torrc.sample?
-SM - 4.1, balance traffic better
- - Steven and Mike should decide if we should do Steven's plan
- (rejigger the bandwidth numbers at the authorities based on
- Steven's algorithm), or Mike's plan (relay scanning to identify
- the unbalanced relays and fix them on the fly), or both.
- - Implement Proposal 160
- o 4.5, Older entry guards are overloaded
- o Pick a conservative timeout like a month, and implement.
-M - 5.2, better timeouts for giving up on circuits/streams
- - clients gather data about circuit timeouts, and then abandon
- circuits that take more than a std dev above that.
-
-4.1, IOCP / libevent / windows / tor
-N - get it working for nick
-N - put out a release so other people can start testing it.
-N - both the libevent buffer abstraction, and the
- tor-uses-libevent-buffer-abstraction. Unless we think that's
- unreachable for this milestone?
-
-4.2.1, risks from becoming a relay
-S - Have a clear plan for how users who become relays will be safe,
- and be confident that we can build this plan.
- - evaluate all the various attacks that are made possible by relaying.
- specifically, see "relaying-traffic attacks" in 6.6.
- - identify and evaluate ways to make them not a big deal
- - setting a low RelayBandwidth
- - Nick Hopper's FC08 paper suggesting that we should do a modified
- round-robin so we leak less about other circuits
- - instructing clients to disable pings in their firewall, etc
- - pick the promising ones, improve them so they're even better, and
- spec them out so we know how to build them and how much effort is
- involved in building them.
-
-4.5, clients download less directory info
-N * deploy proposal 158.
-N - decide whether to do proposal 140. if so, construct an implementation
- plan for how we'll do it. if not, explain why not.
-
-5.1, Normalize TLS fingerprint
-N o write a draft list of possible attacks for this section, with
- estimates about difficulty of attack, difficulty of solution, etc
-N - revisit the list and revise our plans as needed
-NR- put up a blog post about the two contradictory conclusions: we can
- discuss the theory of arms races, and our quandry, without revealing
- any specific vulnerabilities. (or decide not to put up a blog post,
- and explain why not.)
-
-5.5, email autoresponder
-I . maintenance and keeping it running
-
-5.7.2, metrics
-
-XXX.
-
-6.2, Vidalia work
-E - add breakpad support or similar for windows debugging
-E o let vidalia change languages without needing a restart
-E - Implement the status warning event interface started for the
- phase one deliverables.
-E - Work with Steve Tyree on building a Vidalia plugin API to enable
- building Herdict and TBB plugins.
-
-6.3, Node scanning
-M - Steps toward automation
- - Set up email list for results
- - Map failure types to potential BadExit lines
-M - Improve the ability of SoaT to mimic various real web browsers
- - randomizing user agents and locale strings
- - caching, XMLHTTPRequest, form posting, content sniffing
- - Investigate ideas like running Chrome/xulrunner in parallel
-M - Other protocols
- - SSH, IMAPS, POPS, SMTPS
-M - Add ability to geolocalize exit selection based on scanner location
- - Use this to rescan dynamic urls filtered by the URL filter
-
-6.4, Torbutton development
-M - Resolve extension conflicts and other high priority bugs
-M - Fix or hack around ugly firefox bugs, especially Timezone issue.
- Definitely leaning towards "hack around" unless we see some
- level of love from Mozilla.
-M - Vidalia New Nym Integration
- - Implement for Torbutton to pick up on Vidalia's NEWNYM and clear
- cookies based on FoeBud's source
- - Do this in such a way that we could adapt polipo to purge cache
- if we were so inclined
-M - Write up a summary of our options for dealing with the google
- you-must-solve-a-captcha-to-search problem, and pick one as our
- favorite option.
-
-6.6, Evaluate new anonymity attacks
-S - relaying-traffic attacks
- - original murdoch-danezis attack
- - nick hopper's latency measurement attack
- - columbia bandwidth measurement attack
- - christian grothoff's long-circuit attack
-S - client attacks
- - website fingerprinting
-
-7.1, Tor VM Research, analysis, and prototyping
-C . Get a working package out, meaning other people are testing it.
-
-7.2, Tor Browser Bundle
-I - Port to one of OS X or Linux, and start the port to the other.
-I . Make it the recommended Tor download on Windows
-I - Make sure it's easy to un-brand TBB in case Firefox asks us to
-I - Evaluate CCC's Freedom Stick
+[This file moved to svn in /projects/todo/. More people can edit
+it more easily there. -RD]
