[tor-talk] node-Tor is now open source in clear (and modular)

[Aymeric Vitte <vitteaymeric@xxxxxxxxx>]

Please see https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor and http://peersm.com/peersm2

This is a javascript implementation of the Tor protocol on server side
(nodejs) and inside browsers, please note that it is not intended to add
nodes into the Tor network, neither to implement the Tor Browser
features, it is intended to build projects using the Tor protocol from
the browser and/or servers (most likely P2P projects), the Onion Proxy
and Onion Router functions are available directly inside the browser
which establishes circuits with other nodes understanding the Tor
protocol (so it's not a "dumb" proxy), but it can of course establish
circuits with the Tor network nodes (see
https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor#test-configuration-and-use) and act as
a Tor node

It is financed by NLnet via EU Horizon 2020 Next Generation Internet
Privacy & Trust Enhancing Technologies, now open source under a MIT
license and we made it modular, it is fast (extensively tested when
video streaming was there, especially with bittorrent or ORDB concept)
and the total unminified code
(https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor/blob/master/html/browser.js) is only 1
MB (so ~600 kB minified) which is quite small for what it does, this is
not a browser extension/module but pure js

Possible next steps are to implement elliptic crypto and connections via
WebRTC Snowflake (peersm2 above uses WebSockets a bit the way flashproxy
was working, ie implementing the ws interface on bridges side), as well
as integrating it with "Discover and move your coins by yourself"
(https://peersm.com/wallet) for anonymous blockchain search and
anonymous sending of transactions from the browser
