Re: [tor-dev] Information on Pluggable Transports



Yes, there are implementations of PT 2.0 and 2.1 specifications. One of the criteria that we have adopted in the 2.1 specification process is that proposals need to have an implementation available before they can be considered for inclusion in a release of the specification.

Tor uses the part of the specification known as the Dispatcher IPC Interface to control a Pluggable Transport provider (known as a dispatcher) running in a separate process. The 2.0 and 2.1 versions of this protocol are compatible.

You can find a dispatcher implementation which conforms to the 2.1 specification and is backwards-compatible with the 2.0 Dispatcher IPC Interface specification here: https://github.com/OperatorFoundation/shapeshifter-dispatcher
This dispatcher implementation currently provides the obfs2, obfs4, and Shadowsocks transports.

At one point, we (Operator Foundation) provided a patch to Tor implementing the 2.0 Dispatcher IPC Interface. You can find the fork here: https://oniongit.eu/nickm/tor/tree/dasyatid-rtt2017
You can find the associated Trac ticket here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21816

Operator Foundation does not currently have any plans to commit additional resources to the Tor patch, but it is there as a starting point if anyone is interested in pursuing the project of updating Tor to conform to the PT 2.0 (and 2.1) protocol. We will be continuing to update the dispatcher implementation to match the specification as it evolves, as well as adding new transports as they are developed.

If you are looking for information about Pluggable Transports, the Pluggable Transports website has up-to-date information: https://www.pluggabletransports.info/

If you want to follow the specification process, drafts and proposal are available here: https://github.com/Pluggable-Transports/Pluggable-Transports-spec

The current draft of the next version being working on is PT 2.1 draft 1: https://github.com/Pluggable-Transports/Pluggable-Transports-spec/tree/master/releases/PTSpecV2.1Draft1

Is there any code that implements version 2.0 or 2.1 of these specs?
