Please read the new PrivCount in Tor project page:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/PrivCountInTor
It should answer most of your questions.

Let us know if there is anything missing, and we’ll update the page.

[tor-dev] Anonymous local count statistics

2018-07-09 Thread Saurav Malani
Hello Everyone,

I am 4th year student at IIIT-H, India. I want to contribute to TOR project
specifically to "*Anonymous local count statistics". *I am done with
building TOR. I looked at the ticket and had an overview of Tor
documentation. But, I feel like being lost. So, it would be great if
someone here can guide me on this further, as I am a bit novice in this
field, by providing links with relevant info related to the project and
also by guiding me on what to do next? and what is done till now?

Thank-you,
Regards,
Saurav Malani

To be 100% clear, “dos” as in “denial of service” correct? Thx.

[tor-dev] The case with Tor2Web

2018-07-09 Thread George Kadianakis
Hello!

It's a semi-secret that tor2web traffic has been blocked from the Tor
network when we introduced the DoS subsystem this March [0]. The reason
is that a big part of the DoS traffic was coming from one-hop clients
continuously hammering onion services.

This is something that we've been considering doing for a while (for
security and code-complexity reasons), and it just happened naturally
during the DoS incident.

As part of this, and since the DoS subsystem is going to stick around,
we are planning to permanently kill the Tor2Web subsystem of Tor, in an
effort to simplify our codebase and our feature list.

If you've been relying on tor2web for something, please consider
switching to a normal 3-hop client indeed. This is a heads up so that
you can let us know if that won't work for you, or you need help
transitioning out.

Cheers and hope we are not making you sad.
