 ## August

 The month of August was dedicated to laying out the foundations and the
 overall architecture of the ooniprobe backend and client system.

 * Work on daphn3

    * https://github.com/hellais/ooni-
 probe/commit/818e4603d4d2a91f033b013db2b3dfecc5c99114

    * https://github.com/hellais/ooni-
 probe/commit/14ade9b22b2d91dc3c85a7d246c76cc6bc935d22

 * Experiment with the idea of a eigenvector based classifier:

 https://github.com/hellais/ooni-
 probe/commit/78fe6dea0b46c4055fbc195cf9329001c062cb17

 probe/commit/190e24e5c3239322900c63f8a864b375cdd6320e


 ## September

 This month was mainly aimed at designing an API that would be flexible
 enough for supporting the writing of tests easily from third party
 developers.

 * Studied existing solutions to the problem of developing an API for
 developing tests. Of particular usefulness was nose
 (https://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) and twisted trial
 (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedTrial)

 * Implemented the ooniprobe client API based on twisted trial:

 probe/commit/2d31d5f14a0f3a7518d47fe748c1677cbd885828
 https://github.com/hellais/ooni-
 probe/commit/712f665423f24701c93889d32d040eb533065dfe

 https://github.com/hellais/ooni-
 probe/commit/ffc44ce1cbc595ce8cbcd6522e8962f37b7e6869

 using the Scapy packet injection framework:

 https://github.com/hellais/ooni-
 probe/commit/36c8a8e149fa5d975fc0d39bd0e5bf72ab38086a

 working as they should


 ## November

 November was dedicated to making sure that the design layer out and
 experimented with in the past months worked properly. Focus was placed on
 the ooniprobe command line tool. The ooniprobe backend was made to do the
 basic set of tasks it needed to support the running of tests.

 Highlights:

 * Alpha support for logging to PCAP

 * Alpha support for starting and stopping of Tor

 * Alpha support for reporting to Tor Hidden Services

 * Revert to a state in which everything was not broken and attempt to port

 ## December

 December has started as a month of craziness and me and aagbsn have been
 working very hard to make sure that we reach the 0.1 in time for the
 expected date.

 In particular we have started data collection from some machines we have
 rented.

 * Get aagbsn up to speed with ooniprobe and guide him through the things
 that need to be done

 * Buy some machines for running of tests

 * Coordinate the migration of ooni.nu to ooni.tpo
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/7644

 * Talk with the crate.io developer to get a Tor hidden service running to
 deliver us safe code via pip.

 * Iterations over the bugs that aaron encountered while running the code:
 https://github.com/hellais/ooni-
 probe/commit/18c2dbd0b0491b25e997214fef672a8ebe1b2312

 * Work with twisted developers of a better SOCKS5/4/4a implementation:
 https://github.com/hellais/txsocksx

 https://github.com/hellais/txsocksx/commit/72475c35db3441c65de243019615e85ac40a476a
 https://github.com/hellais/txsocksx/commit/fbd0a68be25acc0d6b891f558737320fe22ff375
 https://github.com/hellais/txsocksx/commit/9fb250f712a013fbafb843285795524b868c1688

 https://github.com/hellais/txsocksx/commit/dcea1b008b57523e02d0eeecc4c750e671847be2

 Note: this is not yet bundled with ooniprobe and at this point will
 probably only be done post 0.1

 * Normalize the report format so that it follows ISO8601:
 https://github.com/hellais/ooni-
 probe/commit/fb477a0982247974bc5f5979239ed015a17ce3ec
