Re: [tor-dev] Searchable Tor descriptor and Metrics data archive - GSoC 2013

I have participated in the past instances of GSoC with Melange and e-cidadania, and have an extensive experience in development with Python. For the search application, I propose using Django with MongoDB as a NoSQL database backend for our search application. We have 100GB+ of data which eventually grows everyday and so using a NoSQL backend will ensure us that our application scales well with the increase in data as well as user traffic. The application will have various interfaces such as: 1) Data Updator: This end will connect and retrieve data from the metrics website periodically via rsync. It will also be responsible for pre-processing the data to a suitable format as our search application needs. 2) Storage End: A relay descriptor can be searched by nickname, fingerprint, IP Addr and various other attributes that define a relay descriptor. So we can preprocess the whole data, extract the attributes that define a descriptor and then save it in an appropriate model MongoDB provides. Since queries are very fast in a NoSQL datastore, our searches will be very fast. 3) Search Front End: This will be exposed to the user where a user provides its search query to us. 4) Search query processor: This end will process the query of a user and determine its type for eg. whether the query is an IP Address or a nickname etc. It will then connect with our Storage End and return the appropriate data to the Search Front End. Above is a very high level view of my approach to this project. We can also use Django Haystack as a search application framework(I did some research for existing search frameworks). I can implement this app in an object oriented way in Python. Python being such a beautiful and easy to understand language, it will be easy for others to understand and make changes to the application in least amount of time. I would like to know if I am thinking in the right direction and would like to know what Karsten has to say about this. Hi Praveen! Glad to see that you're interested in this project! Your high-level description makes sense to me. I guess the point where I'd expect more details in a GSoC application is where you say: Since queries are very fast in a NoSQL datastore, our searches will be very fast. See also the last paragraph in the project idea: Applications for this project should come with a design of the proposed search application, ideally with a proof-of-concept based on a subset of the available data to show that it will be able to handle the 100G+ of data. I'd like to understand why you think MongoDB will handle searches sufficiently fast. As an alternative to relying on NoSQL databases doing magic is to investigate Django Haystack and other existing search application frameworks. Note that I don't know what's the best tool or design here. But I ran into too many pitfalls in the past when I thought a database design was fast enough to provide data for an Internet-facing service. That's why I'd like to see a convincing design first, bonus points if it comes with a proof of concept.

[tor-dev] Fwd: Fwd: Orbot feature for GSoC 2013
Is there room for an Orbot developer under Tor's GSoC? I know that I was completely awol during this process, and not a mentor, but this is a worthwhile effort! Original Message Subject:Fwd: Orbot feature for GSoC 2013 Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:50:26 +0200 From: Pavlos onexema...@gmail.com To: nat...@guardianproject.info CC: a...@guardianproject.info Hello, I talked in #tor-dev and asked about a feature I could implement for Orbot as part of Google summer of code 2013 and abel suggested the implementation of the android 4.x's VPN Service as a way to get rootless transparent torification. I understand this was created https://github.com/guardianproject/OrbotVPN but for some reason couldn't be finished? Is it plausible to implement it? If not maybe there is something else I could make? Some words about me: I'm a CS student at my 5th year. I finished with my courses a year ago and I'm just enrolled because I'm an intern at CERN and have to be a student. My github is here: https://github.com/uberspot/ I have worked previously on two android apps (OpenWifiStatistics that coorelates gps with wifi scan data and AnagramSolver for solving anagrams) and I have another one almost complete (a lan multiplayer trivia game).

If so then you're welcome to apply to be a mentor in melange and review Orbot related applications. ___ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev

Good to know the window is still open. I will work with the student some more to assess their viability.
