Hello all, This is a friendly reminder to all ScrambleSuit bridge operators that unless you are running tor-0.2.5.x, you should not be running a ScrambleSuit bridge. This is because the method for propagating the ScrambleSuit password (or any other future pluggable transport server side argument) for inclusion in the Bridge line served from BridgeDB was implemented in 0.2.5.x, and is not present in 0.2.4.x, and to make matters worse, 0.2.4.x has a bug that will allow this configuration to run instead of failing with an error[0]. If you are running a ScrambleSuit bridge with tor-0.2.4.x, it is useless. Users that happen to be served your ScrambleSuit bridge will not be able to connect, because the password is missing. Approximately 1/7th of the ScrambleSuit bridges in BridgeDB exhibit this behavior and we will most likely start filtering them on the BridgeDB side. Please see https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13202 if you wish to know more about this. Best Regards, -- Yawning Angel [0]: Apparently this is not worth patching 0.2.4.x for, which I personally view as unfortunate.
